College graduates love the idea of starting their own business just after college. But that may not be the best deal for them after all. For instance, sometimes it’s just the kick of having something of your own that leads you to the decision. But you’ve got to be clear on why you are starting something new and will be able to sustain it in the long run? Some of these tips will help you take the big step.
What is the purpose of starting it?
You must know why you are starting a venture in the first place. For instance, when Kunzum travel cafe started off, the concept was simple—come, connect, have chai, and leave whatever money you want. Of course, the travel courses and trips came in much later but the central theme remained the same. This is why it came so far. We all have different reasons for opening a business.

For instance, Happily Unmarried doesn’t sell only products, they sell innovation and creativity with fun.
Know all about it

When Fab Furnish had started, people hardly took the plunge to buy furniture online. But the brand changed it all within a few years.
