Do you have an entrepreneur hidden somewhere inside you? Do you dream of becoming your very own boss and creating something to do with a company? There are many benefits to starting out as a self-employed person, but of course it is also hard work. Many choose to come out as self-employed, without any experience and background knowledge. While it may be easier for some than others, it is good to know a little about life as an entrepreneur. Continue reading to learn more.

The business idea
It will become difficult to start a business if you do not know what it is you want to do. For example, if your dream is to start a company in Copenhagen, but you have not quite found your niche yet, then you might want to research the market there first. What are you good at and what could be relevant to Copenhagen in particular or the surrounding area? One good tip is to get help from entrepreneurs. This could be through the many offers of free entrepreneurial help that you find in many places in Denmark. It could also be through an entrepreneurship course, which can be incredibly relevant if you have not tried to run a business before.

Where should the location of the company be?
Once you know what to do and have all the important details down, then you also need to figure out where the company should be. If it is an office, you need to find a location that makes sense. In addition, you must of course also have the right furniture for it. AJ Produkter, has more than 40 years of experience in, among other things, interior design of offices. So, if you are in need of office drawers or furniture, then you can find them at this company. Aj products also have lots of products for a workshop, warehouse, canteen and much more.

Have patience
Starting a business is tough. Many companies will probably be able to recognize this fact. For example, it is not abnormal for the first year to be enormously hard, both physically, mentally and financially. But this is quite normal, and it is also important to have patience.

Hire an employee
If you want to run a small business, it can be tempting to save the money it would cost to have an extra employee. But it can become a necessity and may even turn out to be just the right thing to do. For example, marketing is an important part of running a business. Many may not be aware of how much energy this part can take, but it might for example make sense to hire someone to manage this part a few times a week or more.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
