LEICESTER, ENGLAND, July 08, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Alpha Gamma Solutions, Leicester based direct sales and marketing firm, are supporters of budding entrepreneurs. The firm believes young entrepreneurs are vital for the economy, providing work opportunities and helping the country climb out of a recession.
About Alpha Gamma Solutions: http://www.alphagamma.co.uk/
The firm outlines 3 insights about entrepreneurship that have been inspired by youth. The insights will help every entrepreneur regardless of age or experience.
1. Youth and inexperience aren't obstacles.
Inexperience isn't an obstacle, and on the contrary, it can be a real advantage. If someone doesn't know what they're doing then it means they're unlikely to see and do things the way others have. As a result, it tends to be those who don't know what they are doing and are 'green', that innovate.
A great example of this is Sara Blakely. Blakely is the now-billionaire founder and owner of Spanx. When she attended the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, Global Showcase, she told the attendees and young entrepreneurs that when she built her business, she tried to think about how she'd do each task if she knew nothing about it whatsoever. Not knowing, and the innovation it creates, are reasons to start businesses and build on good ideas -- not reasons to wait.
2. Join the community.
The most successful entrepreneurs surround themselves with like-minded people. Energy and inspiration is contagious. Entrepreneurship events like business-plan pitch competitions and meet-ups are a great chance to meet and make networking connections.
Watching others put their ideas into action is highly motivational and can often spur and energise entrepreneurs. Meeting and talking with other entrepreneurs, can inspire someone into action and show them that whatever was holding them back, shouldn't.
Meeting other people who are interested in entrepreneurs and innovation can provide real value. People at these events may be a potential mentor, advisor or investor.
3. Mentorship matters.
Many of the most successful entrepreneurs credit their mentors for their success. Few people are able to start a business entirely on their own. In 2013 the Kauffman Foundation issued a report that identified knowing an entrepreneur as one of the biggest factors in someone becoming one. This demonstrates how the 'cause and effect' method impacts young entrepreneurs.
The mentor relationship runs both ways. Both successful and seasoned entrepreneurs need to offer their advice and impart their wisdom on to less experienced trailblazers. Younger entrepreneurs really benefit from the help and experiences of others.
Alpha Gamma Solutions supports and encourages entrepreneurs via their business development program. It is essentially a 6 to 12 month accelerated learning program that teaches participants all aspects of the firm's business fundamentals including; business management, sales and marketing strategies, motivational and informative public speaking, team leadership and business development.
