The Canvas is a business model created by Alexander Osterwalder (author world reference for innovation and business models) that logically describes how organizations create, deliver and capture value. The process of designing the business model is part of business strategy, so it is vital to structure this type of in-depth resources for learning how a business operates and know the strengths and weaknesses of it.

This model, made by Osterwalder team, is looking for a diagram called “canvas”, consisting of 9 building blocks to meet the intent of the organization, which will be applied to the model, review the different ways of being profitable their industry.

Every day there are many entrepreneurs who are released with a business idea or a business project, not all produce a business plan and not all business plans are done correctly.

Because this document is the most important step to undertake when it will be your guide sheet Ruto or at least in the beginning, here I share with you some mistakes you should avoid to achieve a successful boot:

1. The magic idea

Many entrepreneurs believe that their ideas are part of a divine illumination. The creative process does not require extensive knowledge, it is necessary to have the humility to abstract ideas and analyze coldly.

2. The fear that I copied the idea

Entrepreneurs can act strangely and consider that your idea is a milestone in the history of mankind, so you can see a potential consultant on anyone and could be a real trick and use it or usurper of your business idea.

3. Not thinking about emergency exits in case

If the deal goes wrong, there is an attachment to the business plan that says how the company will be liquidated in case of no success.

4. Chaos in the Management

Many entrepreneurs believe change managers, but not seen as tools to manage continuous change leads the market with its dynamic growth.

5. What was the main idea?

Many people miss the main goals they had when the idea began to take shape, so they begin to consider secondary issues and random business. The problem is that you begin to focus on them, completely losing the main focus.

6. Working with the family

There is a trend to use family members to deal with good ideas, which is not recommended when forming the hierarchy of who will take over the business.

7. Minor image

Though many we are clear that a picture says a thousand words, entrepreneurs generally have little knowledge on the use of graphic design and make works of true terror. Do not design your logo yourself, or your website, it is best to do a professional.

8. Administration of the blame

99% of project failures are the fault of the entrepreneurs, but never acknowledge their mistake. If you fail, try to be sincere and accept your mistakes, it is the only way to grow. Please try again, never give up.

In short, the business is the manufacture and sale of branded clothing, for garment will be used by third parties (external workshops sewing), and sales brokers will work with businesses (shops, bazaars, galleries, etc.).

1. Determine the type of clothing to make and sell

The first step is to determine the type of clothing that makes and sell her, for that, ideally, take into account your own preferences, ie it is a type of garment that you like and the which you would like to work.

However, you should also take into account other factors such as the demand (the higher demand has a certain type of clothing best), the existing supply (less competition while having a certain type of clothing best), and the quality of products competitors (the less quality there for a certain type of clothes the better).

But what you should do is to hire a model that you design the mold of garments: who will you carry items you purchased, and say you’d like to change or add as to what the design is concerned.

The amount of material and supplies to design your signs, and even places where you can buy is information that you can provide the modeler.
