Advantages and Disadvantages of Starting a Business at This Time

Let’s jump right in and start with the advantages related to starting a business in an economic climate such as this.

1. A leaner organization

When you start in bad times, you build a leaner organization. Hiring only the people or expertise that you need, since you don’t want to exhaust your capital or cash too quickly. As such, you have a low cost structure and with a low cost structure, you have a better profit margin when times improve.

2. Opportunity to negotiate better terms

You are more likely to have the opportunity to negotiate terms in relation to wages and/or rent as oppose to starting in a favorable economic climate.

3. Perfect your business strategy

It’s also an opportunity to perfect your business strategy and build a stronger brand to sustain an early advantage when things improve.

Disadvantage

The one disadvantage is that you have no idea how long these economic circumstances might last and your capital or cash might not be enough to get through before the next recovery.

The advantages clearly out-weigh the one disadvantage I would say.

Starting A Business Despite The Economic Circumstances 

So check this out. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica (EB) “no decade in the 20^th Century was more terrifying for people throughout the world than the 1930s. For the U.S. in particular this was the time of the Great Depression. This was a time characterized by joblessness, shuttered factories, breadlines, among other things.

EB also states that “The most devastating impact of the Great Depression was human suffering” and the “standards of living dropped precipitously.” In addition to which, a large number of individuals were unable to find work in the early 1930s.

These would have been grave circumstances for quite a large number of individuals. However, amidst the depths of this U.S. economic depression, a guy named Charles Revson decided to start his own business. Go figure! Can you imagine? In the gravity of such circumstances, making a decision to start your own company?

It’s not like Revson did not have a job. He had a job. However, what spurred him to do this was the fact the he did not get a promotion he wanted. That’s not new. So many people who deserve the promotion get passed over.

But Charles did not allow that to deter him. He decided to do better and decided to start his own company. That’s one gutsy dude I’d say.

Anyway, Revson started his business in 1932, with one product line. Despite the circumstances, his business did well even though large corporations were struggling. Why did he do so well? According to Revson, “his company was selling hope.”

Mindset and Motivation

The thing about this is that despite the challenging economic times, people still buy and sometimes they buy more than they should.

One possible explanation is perhaps buying things represents an effort to keep their emotions intact and to help keep a positive mindset that things would get better. In other words, people were hoping which is what according to Revson, his company was selling.

According to the Revson Foundation, his zeal to learn was prodigious and “he exhibited an inordinate eagerness to explore his new domain. As such, the one product (lipstick) line he started with, evolved into a major international corporation in a decade! Can you believe that?!  Well you better, because that major international corporation is REVLON!

Lessons we can learn

Here is the story of one man who decided to go against the grain and go after his dream, despite the economic circumstances. There are at least three lessons we can learn from Revson’s story.

1. He had a zeal to learn about what he was doing.
2. Having a desire or passion for what you want to do is important
3. Do not despise small beginnings
4. DO something! Get started!
