To undertake a successful business with good intentions is not enough, we must have a professional guide, or a good business plan.
“One of the most common mistakes of entrepreneurs to start their business is that they have written about their objectives, what the company and not seeing results achievable,” said certified public accountant from the Universidad National Autonomy de Mexico (UNAM), Gregorio Perez.
This tool is not a simple document, is to translate the project itself on paper to identify strengths, needs and above all, to stand in case you need advice or funding.
Among the advantages of developing a business plan is to avoid wasting resources on payment of rent, wages and raw materials are purchased ‘by intuition’: “The plan also provides performance indicators for course correction or, at worst cases, cancel the project in time to avoid losing more money, “Perez said.
Hence the need for micro and small entrepreneurs have the basic plan and a draft counter inversión.El UNAM has 7 steps to do so, although they may be adjusted depending on the complexity of each business unit.
Let’s start with a quick definition. ‘Guanxi’ is literally translated as a connection. When Asians use the phrase between them, they are referring to a fluid network of business obligations and debts given in an atmosphere of cordiality and friendship. A person with a history of good and successful relationships is clearly in a very advantageous position. On the contrary, a person who has no connections and not in a position to do favors for new partners is in a relatively weak position.
When Chinese companies talking to Westerners about Guanxi, takes a slightly different meaning. At this point the emphasis on the ability to influence members of a network to make successful transactions and get bureaucratic approvals. A well-known Chinese business adage says: “Everything is possible but nothing is easy” which also emphasizes the importance of the Chinese Guanxi. For a long time, Guanxi was synonymous with local knowledge, but carried a strong implication of corruption and incentives under the table.
That’s why Westerners in China often find themselves caught between two opposing views on the subject Guanxi. On the one hand, the locals still maintain that it is the only way to do things in China. However, a growing community of international experts argued that Guanxi is inefficient, costly and counterproductive a throwback, a return to old times, to a lawless and chaotic China, where personal influences mock laws and regulations.
So what position represents and reflects the reality of China? Guanxi is actually a real force that entrepreneurs and business people need in their work, or is a shortcut to the scammers and cheaters.

Like anything worthwhile, you must have discipline and patience, and not as complicated as it seems.
Think better than having a business plan, we will greatly facilitate the activities of our company not only seeks to develop an outline of what will sell and how much we have to put the company, but how to chart a path to successfully achieve our project, it is possible to anticipate situations and problems, how we face them, how to be prepared to make correct decisions and avoid mistakes as much as possible.
Tao said that truth is written on a single note and a lie in 10 volumes of a treaty. Here the same, it is not sat down to write page after page to fill a notebook, but in the process of writing draft if we take many points, at the end, we must have a specific document, act as our true guide.
Recall that the business plan is a written document that contains the essential information about our company, its characteristics, projections, prospects and of course, it’s short, medium and long term, stocks or strategies to accomplish them, the description of our company and the amount of capital or investment that will be required.
Also will consider in this paper, the possible contingency scenarios or rather, we can provide solutions for all problems that arise for reasons of their own or others.
Some entrepreneurs believe their business is not the type of turn that can have an internet presence, you are wrong. We must recognize that users are accustomed to consume images rather than text, we prefer to look to read, so make a video of relevant content will be more successful than a long string of letters.
To find out what kind of content you publish on your YouTube channel yourself the same question that your client could be formulated. If your business sells clothing, you can make videos with suggestions for clothing. What we must avoid is to be a television commercial that is to make a “clip sheet” sold more than a commercial.
Apply marketing content in all areas of your communication with the client from your website, blog; face book or YouTube, etc.
To give examples applicable. One can post your video hardware do it yourself, an aesthetic styling tips; a florist could put how to make an arrangement for your home. See how he does Home Depot.
Each video will have visible your brand, your website and where you are located. Always the ultimate goal is to get clients; how you do it is what is relevant to the strategy. We’re used to seeing TV commercials for dancing housewife happy life with your detergent wonder and that’s what we avoid.
I suggest you seek a professional to help you make your videos, lice. Communication, art, advertising or marketing who has experience with the camera. However, if your budget is limited, ask a friend who supports you can work.
The important thing is that you recognize that your business has the potential to be on YouTube and find the content that you provide to the user. People use the Internet to find information and since Google annexed in its results from YouTube videos, for best take advantage of that opportunity.
