How to Become an Entrepreneur

1. Think of a great idea. Most businesses start with one compelling idea — whether it's a service people need, a product that would make life easier, or something that combines both. Remember that ideas don't matter, it's what you do with them that counts!
   
   
   • If a great idea comes to you, evaluate if it is realistic. Think of cost, manufacturing time, and popularity.
   • Always be open to different ideas. Ask and record if people would actually buy the product.
   • If you don't have an idea yet, it is a good start to think of your target market first. Then brainstorm a list of things like places they shop, things might you really things you like. Narrow the list down to about three items, keeping cost, manufacturing time, and popularity in mind. Find the easiest, most realistic product you can offer.
2. Write a business plan.  Include details and descriptions, and plan everything out realistically. Take your time and evaluate your product at each section. The sections of a good business plan include:
   
   
   • Product description: develop your product. What will it look like? What materials will you need? Make your product eye-catching.
   • Market Analysis: Who is your market? Where do they shop? Where are they located?
   • Competition: Who is your competition? What are their strengths? How will you beat them?
   • Marketing: How will you market your product? What kind of image do you want to display? Where will you advertise? What is your tagline? What is your packaging like?
   • Sales: Where will you sell? How will you get your customers to buy? When will you sell? What is your estimated sales forecast?
   • Manufacturing: How do you make your product? Explain this in detailed steps. What materials do you need to make your product? When and where will you manufacture? What is your COGS (cost of goods sold)?
   • Finance: how much money do you need to start your business? What is your gross profit?
3. 3
   Or, don't write a business plan. A business plan is a work of fiction, anyway. If you don't have much experience in business, or the market is new and unknown, a business plan might be a waste of time, or, worse, a path to self-delusion. Plan just enough to make your first sale.
   
   
   • The main thing is to make at least one customer happy, and complete the entire cycle of "make product, sell product" as quickly as possible. Then you will have a business, and then you might be in a position to understand some problems of the sort that extensive planning can help solve.
4. 4
   Get investors. Pitch your idea to any potential investor to get money to start your company. If you have a good idea, they will love to invest their money in your company.
   
   
   • Make a PowerPoint presentation (or something of the sort) explaining why your product is the best, including each part of your business plan in the presentation.
   • Tell them how much your estimated gross profit is and how much percentage of that they will earn in interest. Many VCs (venture capitalists are not set up to make you successful. A wonderful success for you might be to earn $80,000 a year doing work you love.
   • Starting small and pleasing a small number of customers at first is a high-probability way to get there. A VC will not allow such a success to happen, because a VC's strategy is to become a billionaire by rolling the dice on many low-probability but potentially gigantic-returning businesses. The price you pay for taking on a VC is control: control of your dream. If you can get the business started without spending a lot of money, that might be your best route.
5. 5
   Sell. Sell and distribute your product. If you're getting revenue, then you're in business. You're testing your theories about the market, you're finding out what really works and what doesn't, and you're getting fuel for more ideas and improvements. If you're not getting revenue, then it's all in your head.
   
   
6. 6
   Network. Hang out with entrepreneurs. By meeting entrepreneurs socially, you gain contacts and hear about opportunities.
   
   
   • More importantly, you learn how entrepreneurs think. You pick up their attitudes, their nose for opportunity, their willingness to explore every idea and its opposite (they know that often both work), the great diversity in their styles.

Achievements of kids

BANGALORE: They make an adorable pair in their neat formal suits and shoes. And when they start talking, they have crowds hanging onto every word they say, often having them in splits with their experiences.

Shravan Kumaran and his younger sibling Sanjay Kumaran are perhaps India's youngest entrepreneurs. Shravan, 14, is the president and Sanjay, 12, is the CEO of Go Dimensions, an app development unit that they founded two years ago from their bedroom in their home in Chennai.

On Saturday, they stood before the 5,500 attendees at an SAP event in Bangalore, and talked about how to ideate, and draw up a business plan. "You should have a strong idea, self-confidence, a good business plan and know about sources of funding," said Sanjay with the confidence that you normally only see in much older people. And he then went on to ask: "Have you heard of dad funding?" The crowd roared.

In the past two years the two have developed eleven apps that are available on the Apple App Store and Google's Android Play Store. The apps have received over 35,000 downloads. Their first app -- Catch me Cop on the Apple App Store -- was released last year and was a hit. That was a game where a con escapes prison and a wide hunt is launched for him. There are chases through a desert, beach and a maze.

"Abdul Kalam (former president of India) once came to our school and he loved playing Catch me Cop," recalled Sanjay. Shravan is in class 9 and Sanjay in class 7 at the Vael's Billabong International High School in Chennai.

Since the two are less than 18 years, Go Dimensions cannot be registered in their names as per Indian law. So the registration is in the names of seven of their family members who are above 18.

Today, a spare room in their Chennai home is a digital lounge filled with Apple Macs, iPads and Samsung Galaxy Notes. The ''after homework hours'' are spent on coding and debugging test apps, while nibbling on cheese fritters and lasagna. Recently, they launched an action game called Extreme Impossible 5 or EI5.

"We developed more than 150 test apps before releasing the first app, Catch Me Cop. That app was launched within a week of submission to Apple, and that was really exciting. Another app, Alphabet Board, got a rating of 5 on the app store," said Shravan, who credits Apple founder Steve Jobs for inspiring him to be what he is today. "Jobs is the big daddy of clean and intuitive user interfaces and who changed the way we communicate. And how can I forget his famous line, `Stay hungry, Stay foolish'," he said.

Despite their star status, they have their feet on the ground. "Some of the teachers told them they would be more productive at home than coming to school," said their mother and former journalist Jyothi Lakshmi. But they are clear they will attend classes regularly, and also pursue their love for cricket and the keyboard. They admire Dhoni for his aggressive play. The boys credit their father Kumaran Surendran, director with anti-virus and security solutions company Symantec, for encouraging them to learn programming and play with gadgets. They learnt QBasic, a programming language for beginners, when Shravan was in his fifth grade and Sanjay in his third grade. They learnt to code on Java by reading books and information available on the internet. Programming on Apple's iOS required a bit of handholding from their dad.

The two have previously made presentations at TEDx, and IIM-Bangalore. The brothers are hoping to get at least 50% of smartphone users in India to use their apps.

"Once we achieve those kind of numbers, we will launch our first paid app," Shravan said.

  Find the sub-string in the main string?
  
                 See this video class for the good understanding of this concept.

                          

 
     C with memory functions:- 


     What is the memcpy() function?

             It copies the bytes of data between memory blocks or buffers.This function doesn't care about the
              type of data being copied.
                    It simply makes an exact byte for byte copy.

               Syntax:- 
                               void *memcpy(void *destination,void *source,size_t count);

                  #include<stdio.h>
                  #include<string.h>
                  main()
                  {
                        char str1[100] = "This is string";
                        char str2[100];

                          memcpy(str2,str1,14);

                        printf("str2 = %s\n",str2);
                  }

       Output:-
                        str2 = This is string

        If you will give the 10 at the count(14),it copies only 10 bytes.It gives the o/p is "This is st".
