Young Entrepreneur's On The Rise
Tech companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook are giving a unique opportunity to young entrepreneurs in the form of their internships. For some college students, these opportunities help them gain hands on experience before entering the workforce. The internship usually allows you to work side by side with professional staff as they run their daily business. Despite recent changes happening in the tech industry, there are still plenty of high-paying employers who still need talented interns.
The trend towards hiring young interns has been around for a while now and it was only a matter of time that others started following suit. Today's small or medium size businesses have found innovative ways to attract youth-oriented work force members which include offering internships to college students or encouraging entrepreneurship among this demographic.
According to the Stanford Graduate School of Business, there are 2.6 million new businesses started each year in the United States. The great thing about starting a company is the ability to control your destiny but it turns out that very little of these small business owners actually reach the next level and become millionaires.
Running a small business means that you will have less funds compared to your bigger competitors, lack of connections and most importantly, you will have less chances to meet influential individuals or gain skills from future employers that come in contact with your startup's products. In order for young entrepreneurs to take full advantage of their startup opportunities, they will need funding from investors or an additional source like angel investors.
Angel investors are people who invest their money in small businesses, startups and entrepreneurs with the hopes of achieving a return on investment. Unlike venture capitalists, who are focused on maximizing their profits by investing in a wide range of startups and business sectors, angel investors tend to be more hands on. They normally invest only in businesses that they can personally relate to and market, so it only follows that many young entrepreneurs seek assistance from angel investors to aid them in their startup ventures.
As a young entrepreneur starting out, you will have to learn how to deal with the challenges of running your own business. In addition, you will have all of your previous experience to rely on which may not necessarily be positive working experiences. Many young entrepreneurs have a hard time dealing with the pressure of getting things done in the most efficient manner. Therefore, keeping a journal of your day to day activities can really help you in the long run regarding solving difficult problems. It may not be easy at first but writing down your thoughts and ideas may allow a breakthrough to happen when you least expect it. Always remember that there is no such thing as a stupid idea when you are still developing your idea or startup business.
There are many benefits for young entrepreneurs who want to start their own business or need help running an existing business. If you are still looking for an internship or entry into the workforce, understanding what is available and where can be very helpful to maximizing your opportunities. These days, there are many different ways to find what you need when it comes to internships and summer jobs that can help you get the experience needed.
