Rare, therefore, is Mumbai's Purandare family where father Jairaj and son Varun have both hit the entrepreneurial track at the same time.

<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1.Don’t be stuck in a comfortable routine</b></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Many people get caught in their own routine. They get up in the morning, drive to work, return home in the evening, have dinner, watch TV, and go to sleep. They repeat this process every day, comfortable with the routine — and the check they receive every other week.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This sort of mentality is counterproductive to advancing in life. And isn’t exciting either. You should always look for ways to improve your life, replace your comfortable routine with something exciting. Starting your own business is a way to go.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Always search for new business opportunities</b></div>

Every new business begins with the discovery and exploitation of a new opportunity — for example, a consumer need that is either unfilled or can be served better that it is served now. And it advances with the development of the right business model to address that opportunity. That’s why you should always look for new business opportunities, beginning with your office, home, neighborhood, or community. Then, come up with the right idea to address it.<br />

Be a doer rather than a dreamer</b></div>
</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A lot of people have good business ideas that they plan on executing, but they make these plans conditional on some catalytic event, ie a perfect time to make this happen. In reality, there is no perfect time to do things. That’ why you should be proactive. Be a doer, not a dreamer.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Do whatever it takes</b></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Don’t let small roadblocks stop you.Stick with the business idea, and execute. Take the steps that will turn your idea into a real business. That’s all that matters in the end — but it isn’t easy. It takes patience, persistence and discipline to stay focused — patience to overcome the hurdles that stand between you and your goal; persistence to overcome the failures, setbacks, and temptations that may take you off course; and discipline to play the game right.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Have the right reasons to start a business</b></div>
<div class="next_to_loge" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 630px;">
There is a misconception that business owners make more money and work less than people who work for somebody else. That’s not true, at least in the beginning. Besides, these are the wrong reasons to go into business. The right reason is to develop a product or a service that make a difference in people’s lives, as <a class="exit_trigger_set" href="http://www.forbes.com/steve-jobs/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Steve Jobs</a>, <a class="exit_trigger_set" href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/bill-gates/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Bill Gates</a> and many other celebrated entrepreneurs did in the past. And most important of all, you should enjoy what you are doing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="next_to_loge" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 630px;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Be self-motivated</b><br />
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When you are a worker, somebody else—your boss — has defined the work to be done. That person tells you what to do and when to do it, and keeps up with deadlines. When you are the boss, you must do all these things. That’s why you should be self-motivated, know what you are doing, be punctual, and work out all the details.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-right: 161.65625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Get in the right psycholog</b><b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">ical state</b></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Martin Zwilling, an angel investor and startup mentor in Phoenix, recalls an event he attended where recently laid-off workers were inquiring about entrepreneurship. When they started going around the room making introductions, he could tell within a few seconds who had a chance at success—and nine out of 10 didn’t.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
“They typically said something like, ‘I’ve had this job for 20 years, and I would love to be my own boss, but I don’t know what it takes to do it,’” Zwilling says. “There was only one person who said, ‘I’ve been working on this project on the side for a while, and now that I don’t have a job holding me back anymore, I’m raring to take this opportunity to start my own business.’ Having the right mindset means a lot.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Making the transition from everyday employee to enterprising business owner doesn’t happen by simply hanging up a shingle. You must also embrace a new way of thinking to thrive in the unpredictable world of startups. Below, we’ve outlined the characteristics you’ll need to adopt—if they’re not already inherent to your personality—to make it on your own.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24.7px; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">1. Embrace uncertainty.</span></h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
All entrepreneurs need to be able to deal with unpredictability on a daily basis, says Jonathan Greechan, co-founder of the Founder Institute, a Silicon Valley-based startup accelerator. “One trait we look for in our applicants is their openness to risk, their ability to learn a new rule and apply it to new problems. Discomfort should become your new normal,” he says.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24.7px; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">2. Have a thick skin.</span></h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
As a business owner, most feedback you get from customers, employees, vendors and investors will be negative. Get used to accepting it and using it to your advantage. “If you’re difficult to be around and argue everything, you’re at one bad end of the spectrum,” Zwilling says. “But if you are a complete pushover who follows all advice, you’re at the opposite end. Good entrepreneurs stand in the middle.”</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24.7px; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">3. Understand vision vs. mission.</span></h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
“Your vision is your company’s future, where the market is going, how to meet your customers’ needs,” Greechan says. “Your mission is how you will get there. Your vision needs to be concrete, but your mission may change regularly.” Great entrepreneurs can be detail-oriented yet simultaneously focus on the big things that accelerate their company’s success.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">4. Accept failure, again and again.</span></h2>

Realize that you will fail almost daily, and that it’s part of the process and a good learning tool, says Ted Zoller, director of the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. “You have to be opportunistic and adaptive. If you find a dead end, either go around it or try something new.”</div>

The best entrepreneurs don’t label their milestones as failures or successes. Instead, they focus on what’s really important: seizing the opportunity. “Whatever you do, act when the opportunity presents itself,” Zoller says. “That’s entrepreneurship defined.”</div>

Bill Gates. Mark Zuckerberg. Larry Page. Sergey Brin. They share more than a few enviable accomplishments. They’re billionaires, they made their fortunes in tech and they started their businesses while they were still students. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re seriously smart cookies.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
However you slice it, they’re all living proof that you don’t have to wait until after graduation to launch your own business. And, as is the case for Gates and Zuckerberg, you might not have to graduate at all (though, to be clear, we’re not advocating for dropping out). </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
If you’re considering becoming a student entrepreneur, just like any other endeavor you undertake, you should have a clear plan -- not something like a half-assed term paper hobbled together the night before it’s due. Researching the steps needed to successfully bootstrap a business from your dorm room is key.</div>

Here's a six-step snapshot of the basics of starting up. At first glance, it looks easy, but, as many student entrepreneurs will attest, it's very challenging, especially while juggling a course load and keggers:</div>

<span style="line-height: 35.8400001525879px;"><b><u><i>(ACRA) will introduce six new fees.</i></u></b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) will introduce six new fees and streamline its regulatory fee structure for businesses, said the regulator in a statement on Wednesday (Oct 8).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
ACRA said the new fees were introduced following the recent passing by Parliament of the Companies (Amendment) Bill, the Business Names Registration Bill and the ACRA (Amendment) Bill. The new fees include those for application for registration or annual renewal as a Qualified Individual for Corporate Service Providers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
At the same time, some businesses may have to pay higher annual fees following the streamlining of the fee structure. According to ACRA, the increase will range from S$10 to S$40 per year depending on the business type.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
For sole-proprietorships, partnerships and limited partnerships, there will also be a fee increase of S$50 for the initial registration of the business. ACRA added that the increase is necessary to ensure that its operating costs to maintain an accurate and comprehensive register of business entities can continue to be recovered at cost.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
Meanwhile, fees related to ad-hoc applications for waivers, exemptions or extension of time to comply with statutory requirements such as filing of accounts and holding the annual general meeting will also increase by a range of S$30 to S$170. ACRA explained this is to adequately reflect the resources spent to process such applications.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
These fee changes will take effect with the implementation of the legislative changes, which is expected to take place no later than first quarter of 2015.</div>

TECS is an initiative that funds R&D projects for early-stage startups, with the aim of developing technology that can be commercialized.

Once the decision is made to register a company in Singapore, the standard procedure is divided into three steps. The preparation phase consists of the approval of the company name, preparation and signing of all necessary documents. The incorporation phase (step 2) entails the submission of the actual application to the authorities. The follow-up phase (step 3) consists of opening the necessary bank accounts and, if necessary, obtaining licences and/or permits.</div>

By outsourcing your company’s accounting tasks, you get the peace of mind that comes from working with accountants who have the skills and expertise needed to support your business goals.<br />
<br />
Outsourcing also helps reduce your business operating costs, which can result in better profit margins. You can eliminate the cost of hiring an accountant, providing a workspace for that individual (desk, computer, etc.), training, payroll tax, and workers ’ compensation and health insurance benefits.<br />
<br />
You’ll quite likely save valuable time. If, as a cost-conscious business owner, you are trying to handle many accounting tasks on your own, you may appreciate freeing up that time to focus on your core business.<br />
