Step 1\/5: Me as an entrepreneur<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Entrepreneurship does not come in only one form or model \u2013 it can be a full-time business, a part-time job based on one\u2019s own competence, or buying an existing company. It is important to identify your strengths, motivation factors and goals<\/strong>: why do you want to become an entrepreneur and what kind of entrepreneurship is suitable for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an entrepreneur, you often need a solution-oriented long-term perspective and the ability to withstand uncertainty. The good news is that an entrepreneurial approach can be developed. You can get started by reflecting on your own competence and everyday wishes: what kind of work do you want to do, where, when and for whom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A business idea<\/strong> is the foundation of entrepreneurship. It describes what you offer, to whom and how. A well-defined business idea helps choose the right operating model and form of company. In some cases, entrepreneurship may also start with the acquisition or change-of-generation of a company \u2013 in this case, you can build something new on an existing foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice of the operating model depends on, for example, whether the activity is subject to a permit or whether it requires a business ID. Light entrepreneurship can be a good way to experiment, but is not always possible. The form of company and the operating model must support your business idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An entrepreneur\u2019s income<\/strong> is built on their own decisions. Unlike an employee, an entrepreneur does not have the security provided by an employment relationship. It is important to understand how you can ensure your financial security in daily life, when you fall ill or when you retire.At the early stages of entrepreneurship, your income may be uncertain and irregular. Plan how you can cover the costs of living before your business starts making a profit. For example, you can use your savings or consider part-time entrepreneurship. Remember that the entrepreneur\u2019s pay is not the same as the revenue \u2013 expenditure also affects the end result. A well-produced business plan with investment and profitability calculations helps in the planning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
