Skilled Entrepreneurs

There are many kinds of general traits of a successful entrepreneur that one can find in the Internet. As an entrepreneur or business owner, if you want to succeed in your field of expertise, then you should keep in mind the necessary skills in achieving your goals. Know where to fit in as an entrepreneur and how to maximize your efforts in your chosen career. Learn how, as a business owner, utilize your marketers to the best of their abilities. Choosing skilled entrepreneurs is very important because these professionals are the ones who are going to make or break a business.

Below is a list of skills that successful entrepreneurs have:

1. Healthy and Energetic – You will know that an entrepreneur is a good one by observing the energy and endurance they have in dealing with physical and mental stress. The ability to become emotionally stable is also important because it is the capability of the body to withstand stress and keep moving forward. The hallmark that separates top executives and leaders from the rest is having a fit body, eating the right food and working out regularly.

2. Ability to Self-Motivate – Skilled entrepreneurs are characterized by the adapted ability to motivate themselves even when the odds are against them. This trait is evident in experienced entrepreneurs that have withstood the test of time as well as many obstacles in their career. These personnel are able to work for long hours and are always thinking about the steps they are going to take to reach their goal. Being able to motivate yourself is a hard task especially when there are many problems that is why this is an important skill that entrepreneurs should have.

3. Learning from Mistakes – An entrepreneur that makes the same mistakes all over again is bound to continue failing and will have a hard time to get ahead. A good entrepreneur whether experienced or new in their careers learns from their mistakes and applies new strategies to counter their failures. They become more savvy and smarter as they do so and tend to avoid making the same mistakes twice. The ability to assess and face a difficult situation and continue to move on is an ability that skilled entrepreneurs have. These entrepreneurs become wiser as they face the same situation again.

4. Harmony with Others – In a business, communication is very important whether it is external or internal. A certain degree of emotional intelligence as well as a good personality is required in order to build a harmonious environment in the office. An entrepreneur that is willing to get along with others despite their differences is an asset to the company because they lessen the friction that most co-workers cannot do.

There are many other skills that a marketer should have. Examples range from being creative in thinking up new marketing strategies, the ability to express and present situations to your boss and having a goal oriented mindset are also important. Skilled entrepreneurs are able to handle complex details in a business system and make the most of it to become effective.

Manufacture of POTATO Flour / POTATO Powder - Manufacture of POTATO Flour / POTATO Powder About Project Setting up of a unit for manufacture of potato powder About Product and its use: Potato powder is increasingly being used in a variety of food preparations like snack foods (Mc Donald, Pringle, Haldiram namkeens etc.), soups, curries and other dishes as a thickening agent. Its use at present is mainly in hotels, restaurants, but acceptance in household is growing due to its inclusion in items like ready to cook soups, dals, curries, etc. Market Potential: The potato powder is supplied in bulk to the manufacturers of the various snack food items and restaurants/ hotels. The major demand is in cities like Mumbai, Delhi , Chennai, Nagpur , etc. The demand is much more than the supply at present and is likely to grow with the increasing popularity of the snack foods and other items where potato powder is used as input. There is good potential for its export also. Production process and technology: Procurement of potato -> Washing -> Cooking -> Pulping -> Drum drying -> Potato Powder -> Packaging -> Marketing The plant and machinery can be used for producing other products like fruit powder, tomato powder, etc. Key risk factors: Availability of adequate quantity of suitable chip varieties, which are used for powder making (like Kufri Jyoti, Kufri Chipsona) is the major factor which could affect the project. Availability of alternatives to potato powder for thickening like tapioca, corn starch etc., could affect the market of potato powder adversely.

However, capacity utilisation can be increased if the existing cold storages are modified suitably with an additional investment of about Rs 2000/ MT. Potato powder recovery: 17% of the raw material. Cost of raw material (potato): Rs 2500 per MT, Sale price of powder: Rs. 55000/ MT. Manpower requirement: a) Indigenous technology: Skilled and trained - 2 Nos; Unskilled - 3 Nos b) Imported technology: Technical - 2 Nos; Skilled - 2 Nos; Semi-skilled - 3 Nos.
