Business 101, More Than Capital

 🎓 Creative Entrepreneurship 101

📍 Business Model Canvas

Today, I want to challenge a lesson many of us were taught in school: that to start a business, you must first have capital. Without a doubt, capital is important—but it is not everything, and it is not always the starting point.

Before focusing on money, consider these six critical factors:

1️⃣ Time Factor – Do you have the time required to build and sustain the business?

2️⃣ Knowledge – What do you know about the business, and are you willing to keep learning?

3️⃣ Skill – Do you have the technical know-how, or do you need to collaborate with others?

4️⃣ Dedication – How committed are you to the process, especially during difficult moments?

5️⃣ Consistency – How will you keep showing up and executing your plans even when results are delayed?

6️⃣ Problem Solving – What specific problem are you solving? Is it a niche issue or a mass-market need?

…and many more, just to mention a few.

A business idea becomes powerful not because of the amount of money behind it, but because of the value it creates and the problem it solves.
