Do you feel empowered enough and already have an established business plan? So, it's time to make it official. At this stage, it may be good to have special assistance to make the right decisions regarding the most bureaucratic parts, such as to ensure that your company fits into the right regime. If you intend to act as an MEI (Individual Microentrepreneur), for example, it is interesting to follow the checklist, which includes: - meeting the qualification requirements as an MEI; - register on the Entrepreneur Portal; - decide what will be the name of the fantasy and the activity to be carried out (at this stage, you will also inform the venue of the performance, which can be a commercial point or your own home, for example — I will talk more about it in the next topic );

Opening a business does not necessarily imply an obligation to lease or acquire the physical space to operate it. In fact, the type of activity you want to develop is the most decisive factor in this. There are businesses that don't need points—at least, in the beginning—or that can be managed from your own home from home office. Selling product info, selling handicrafts, reselling factory goods and providing consulting are some good examples.

According to SEBRAE, among the countries that are part of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), ours is the one that offers the best conditions for opening your own business — as well as the most optimistic numbers. Also, according to a study conducted by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, while 28% of businesses are born out of necessity, 71% are created because of opportunity. This means that there are more Brazilians who opened their first businesses because of a genuine desire to become entrepreneurs than because they did not find alternatives in the market. In addition, when considering the great advantages of doing so, it is not difficult to understand why this is a very common desire, after all: - you have more decision-making power over your own destiny and, even in the face of all the bureaucracy to deal with - mainly depends on the framework of your activity -, the possibility to take control of your choices is one of the greatest motivations for persisting; - You have the opportunity to live in constant learning, because, when making the decision to become an entrepreneur, as it is said, to be able to do so, it will be very important to seek knowledge in resource management, administration, etc. .; - you will have no limits on giving freedom to your creativity, because, in your own company, the decision on what to do to improve your results will be in your hands; - You will have more opportunities to prosper, after all, the results that will be achieved in your company, as a rule, will be directly proportional to your ambitions, as well as the efforts that will be made to achieve your goals - which will also be determined in advance by you. The truth is, while there are, yes, some basic steps to making your first business idea a reality, it is quite possible not only to do so, but to achieve surprising positive results. All you need to do is have, above all else, resilience and commitment, as well as real initiative and willingness to learn and strive towards the previously projected results. Then?
