There are many people who began building his business but still reluctant to leave the status as an employee in an office. Many have succeeded, but many also fail. How can you be one of those who succeed?

Surely you’ve heard many suggestions that if someone wants to become an entrepreneur, then start the business before he got out of his current job. Indeed, this is good advice, but actually not that easy to run.

First, the person must be clever divide their time between work and build a business. Generally, bound working hours and commitment to work in the office, he had little time to think about business.

And if the target wants to be a pure businessman, then he should be able to build his business very seriously so that later he could pay the expenses of daily living.

Second, he certainly did not want a business that is being built unknown superiors. This is of course because every employee does not want to be labeled as an employee who is not dedicated or committed to the company.

Therefore, an important rule for those who want to start a business while still become an employee is not carrying or working on your business at the office.

Indeed, the temptation in the office facility could get someone interested to do business in spare time at the office, but privacy in the office that can not be guaranteed to be even endangering its status as an employee.

Then, what steps should be taken so that an employee can remain pioneering effort? Deborah A Bailey, author of “Think like an Entrepreneur: Transforming Your Career and Taking Charge of Your Life”, giving the tips.

Find the exact time or date for doing business in full or full time

Try making a realistic target, try to set a date convenient for yourself and are confident that at the time set can handle the business properly.

Check expenditure

How big is the funding needed to build the business as well as costs incurred for personal needs. They’re career should be able to reduce expenditures. Because, if later he decided to quit their jobs while business spending has not been established then the issue will be a big problem.

Begin to pay credit card bills

Prepare a plan for paying credit card bills. Prepare a budget plan also for business development.

Preparing to work alone

If a business is planned more done at home and without co-workers or assistants, be prepared to work alone. Prepare also a network or networks of friends that will be useful when a business is already running fully.

Make a mission or target to be achieved within the business

Targets can be made in the form of a business plan or a business mission statement. The important is the contents concerned the core of the business and why doing the business. Remember that choosing to do business is not just a desire to not work on others but knowing what is and will be doing in the business.

Keeping the business running

What if leaving the job quickly is not a priority? What if the work in the office and a business or side business to run simultaneously? Bailey gave the following advice.

Create constraints

Clients in business could have asked for more time, but the priority remains job in the office. Someone who chooses to divide his work between employees as well as employers should be able to tell his client that he had limited time to handle business. Stay prioritizes work than later fired from the job for not being able to work well.

Be careful in using social media

Be careful if you want to promote an online business because it could be the company to check the activity of its employees in the online world. If the business is done in the same plane with a steady job, so avoid competing directly in the online world.

Do not be tempted to spend revenue

Having a side business is definitely going to give extra income each month. However, do not necessarily make the extra income it pushed to increase spending per month. No point if earnings increase but spending for things that are not priority also increases. Better the money is used to develop the business.

It can not be denied if the employee must have been in business requires more energy and an okay strategy in regulating the activities of work and business. Obviously, an employee will start at the expense of labor time and money to make the business he was building can be a solid business empire before deciding to focus on his own business. Extra time in part time work is not inevitably to be realized by an employee at a business pioneer. Extra, because the working hours from 8 am to 5 pm in the office belonged to someone else if it was used at least one hour at rest (too little time). Then, inevitably the time outside the hours of business activity built.

To anticipate the time and effort an employee can delegate his business to people who believed at the same time keep control of the newly built business empire, only a little expense money.

Many business opportunities can be run by an employee, among others:

1. Agency; agency offered many opportunities just look at some of the tabloid business only with 200 thousand to 500 thousand we can be agents one agent and distributor of products such as sandals unique products, herbal medicines, books, and so forth.

2. Multi Level Marketing (MLM); not a few people are upset and trauma when they hear the word MLM. For those employees who have little difficulty in recruiting presentation or even sell special products should be thought over and over again to become a member of one of the MLM.

3. Freelance; an employee can take a job outside of their work time such as teaching, a trainer or tutor, design and much more.

4. Online store; simply buy a domain and hosting plus looking for a distributor or make a further sell their own products via the internet. If you do not have the ability to create an online shop can be outsourced to someone else for all devices associated with the website and the internet. Get the cooperation of people who understand the world of internet and online stores.

5. Franchise and partnerships; all systems and products have been prepared by the franchise owner and franchisee just run the system and promotion.

Often read the tabloids and the business venture or searching on the internet related to business opportunities and run!

Promoted is fun for almost everyone. However, beneath it, the new boss is a former employee should be able to adjust his leadership style in order to set the men who used to be coworkers.

In stable economic conditions, you may get a promotion that had always been your desire. The new office is certainly please you.

However, the new position also means that you should be able to communicate well with colleagues, especially colleagues who will be directly subordinate to.

Why is communication important? Therefore, the success of leadership is lies in the ability of employers to establish positive working relationships with subordinates.

Bosses should also be able to take authority and a firm decision, have a clear mission to subordinate able to work well. Of course not easy to establish good communication, as well as firmly to the subordinate who was a co-worker.

Robert Half International concocted several strategies to help you or anyone who wants to establish good communications with a new boss.

Meets with subordinates

This is the agenda the first thing you should do. Try doing a private meeting of their respective subordinates and ensure that they understand a few things that your purpose in leading them.

Some things you should and should emphasize their role in the department understand is that you hold, including the responsibilities they have to shoulder.

This directive should be done because there might be changes in the department that you are leading now. In addition, convey your expectations to their expectations. For example you want a copywriter to be more proactive in conducting surveys for the benefit of the new campaign.

You may also request the most experienced staff to take more responsibility.

Understand the subordinate

Not only convey the hope, as an employer; you should also try to recognize the character of each child’s fruit and understand it. This is important so that you can help them display the best power without having to feel pressured.

Also, give them the opportunity to submit views or input for the good of the department you lead. Ask them also to provide solutions to existing problems can be solved together.

Create restriction

Since you used to be in one level with your subordinates are now, you have to start thinking about your relationships with those restrictions. Ask yourself, if you can still go out and have fun with them after work? Are you still able to joke with them as before?

Indeed, there is no standard answer for this, but one thing is clear is, you should be able to make the boundaries between superiors and subordinates. For example, if the first is still a subordinate, you often complained to colleagues about your boss or company policy.

However, now because you are part of the management team, then you should not do it anymore. If there is a problem, then you must respond wisely, for example by providing encouragement, guidance, and to convince subordinates that everything will be controlled.

Should not have a golden boy

One of your colleagues may very well be a close friend or your best friend. However, as the boss, you should be able to treat everyone equally and staff with the same concerns.

If you only give a specific task to one or more of your favorite staff, then it can cause jealousy. You can also ignore the talents that have considered the other staff.

Besides your job as a supervisor to make any subordinate work with high productivity and each has an appropriate workload.

Be firm if necessary

Some subordinates may ignore your commands or late finish the job. If this happens, you must be firm on them.

Ask why they act that way. If you think the reason is less powerful, you must reaffirm their duties. In fact, for the subordinate that you may have known for years, you must remain firm in order not to cause jealousies of other staff.

It also became a test of your credibility as a leader capable of guiding all employees to achieve common goals.

Find guidance

No matter how hard you worked; you should still consult with people who had occupied the position as you. Ask them who managed to motivate and encourage his men to achieve a common goal, how the measures to be successfully communicate and guide the staff.

All you have to remember, a supervisor or manager is your first step toward a career peak. So, do not let your work as a supervisor for the first time considered bad by the company management.
