One of the areas for capacity building for students is the organization of seminars and specialized workshops, which can create opportunities for students to understand and implement their ideas. The Faculty of Management has endeavored to establish and develop new business capacities for students by designing and implementing capacity-building programs. In this regard, on May 3, 2023, the Faculty of Management at Goharshad University organized a seminar on successful business startup methods in the conference hall of Goharshad University. This seminar, presented by Professor Mojtaba Askari, analyzed topics such as readiness to start a business, stages of successful business startup, principles of successful business startup, and how to interact with customers. He considered commitment, motivation, skills, and management as essential requirements for starting a business and emphasized the need to recognize strengths and weaknesses in order to strengthen and improve them. In the section on stages of successful business startup, Professor Askari discussed having an attractive idea, writing a vision statement, validating the idea, planning for the business, starting with a small and simple task, securing financial matters, choosing a simple and fluent brand name, locating the business premises, expanding the team, selecting intelligent and tasteful individuals, receiving feedback from customers, being patient, focusing on target markets, taking advertising seriously, searching for customers through word-of-mouth referrals and having an internet page for advertising as necessary aspects.
