If you\u2019re wondering how to start a business, it may be easier than you think. Like other successful businesses, you\u2019ll want to make sure you have a good idea first. From there, you can build a product or service that solves a need for consumers. But before you jump into anything, you\u2019ll want to make sure you do your research. This is crucial, because only an estimated 79.4% of companies survive their first year in operation. So, whether you\u2019re starting a business in retirement or just looking to earn more cash, you\u2019ll want to find the right startup growth strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at competitors: Analyzing competing products or services can give you an idea of what already exists in your industry. This can help you find ways to improve your idea. It can also help you target weaknesses in your product or service before you spend time and money creating it. Be sure to note your competitor\u2019s prices during this process, which will give you a range of how much customers are currently spending on similar products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your small business idea, your next step is to see if it\u2019s worth pursuing. To do this, rely on market research and be sure to analyze your competition. This will help you gauge your audience\u2019s interest. Identify your target customers you can do this by looking at who benefits from your product. You\u2019ll also want to look at factors like age, location and even marital status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun thoughts aside, however, my \u201chmm\u201d reflex at historical comparisons is strong, and it\u2019s been further honed by the \u201cIs this fascism?\u201d wars of 2016\u201321. At least one historian of the 1920s whom I reached out to for an interview for this piece said that the prediction of a \u201cnew \u201920s\u201d was so strained as to be not worth exploring. Steve LeVine, focusing on points of economic comparison in that piece in Marker, also thought: Probably not. LeVine points out a few key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I describe the \u201cfun\u201d parts of Only Yesterday because they\u2019re wonderful, but also to make a point about the origin story we\u2019ve learned about the mood of the \u201920s. Looking back at Allen\u2019s work from the vantage point of 1986, historian David M. Kennedy argued that the biggest failing of the book was its lack of historical depth: \u201cRarely did Allen forge an explanatory chain whose links ran back more deeply into the past than 1917.\u201d And indeed, Allen seemed to blame World War I for every ash-covered carpet and scarred dining table. Young people who had been overseas and seen so much blood were not ready to conform, Allen wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allen is also really good at describing parties\u2014or, at least, the ones the middle class and upper class attended. The historian wrote about how women taking up smoking had \u201cstrewed the dinner table with their ashes, snatched a puff between the acts, invaded the masculine sanctity of the club car, and forced department stores to place ornamental ash-trays between the chairs in their women\u2019s shoe departments.\u201d In what I think may be the best passage in the book, Allen described the way 1920s partygoers stepped all over every previous genteel convention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, let\u2019s get to that fun. A very joyful book to read about the decade is Frederick Lewis Allen\u2019s Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s, which Allen\u2014a blueblood journalist and editor at Harper\u2019s\u2014published in 1931. The book chronicles all of the movement and motion that makes the decade sexy, and doesn\u2019t seem to miss a fad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s world, building a business also means you\u2019ll need a strong website and social media presence. These can help you learn your customers better.
