A life-changing Blog for Chemists and Chemical Engineers!

My Mission: Empowering Chemists & Chemical Engineers 

Here I am to educate you on: 

  1. 70-Plus Chemical Business Ideas: Small Scale (from Zero to low investment) and Large Scale (as maximum as you can invest) businesses.
  2. The real techniques and skills required for starting and running a successful chemical business.

 

Can Every Worker Become a Successful Employee?

Must Read: No matter how good and a high salaried job you can get you always have had a little thought in your mind that “if you could have a self-business and could be the Boss reporting to none, but only to yourself”. For sure no job can give you the happiness and luxury of owning a successful business. 

I used to work in Multinational Pharmaceuticals (Pfizer Pharmaceutical and Abbott Laboratories) at the very start of my professional career as a Quality Control/ Quality Assurance Chemist.

The Plant Managers / Plant Directors were given the latest Mercedes-Benz car from the companies as top-notch employee benefits. I used to get inspired and think that someday, later in my life I would become the Plant Director and have such a car from a multinational company.

But being realistic not every employee becomes the Director! Right? It takes a lot of years of experience, skills, and of course communication skills to the level of Flattery. So, later on, as I got to know the work style in local as well as Multinational companies, I got the point that no matter what public services your enterprise is offering (be it local or multinational), It’s just another form of the business. To more clarify my point; Pharmaceuticals, Food Manufacturing Companies, and all other types of consumer services providing MNCs are just a business, where You, I, and our other colleagues, everyone is just a tiny part of it.

When this thought got stronger then my thinking style shifted to the other side and I started planning to own a self-business rather than being a part of someone else’s business.

Who Should start working on his / her own business?

One thing I must clarify here, I am not discouraging anyone from doing jobs. Jobs are the best opportunities for an easy earning, businesses are usually not that easy. But I want for most of the people to continue their jobs along with part-time businesses, that’s how you can get the Mercedes-Benz in your later years.

Chemists or Chemical Engineers have a general concept of acquiring jobs after graduating from their colleges/universities. I am here to change this conventional thinking and show you a new horizon of self-starting and a way to financial independence. Where you don’t have to live under the mercy of your employer (the Boss), who because of your less or zero experience offers you a job with such a minimum payment, that you cannot even pay back your school fee expenditures to your parents. With such a low salary how can you feed a family? When you can’t even provide yourself with all the basic needs, leave the luxuries aside.

If someone says chemistry has no or little business scope, he/ she is wrong. Here is why they are wrong: Even none a degree holder can do a successful business unless and until proper care is taken and suitable skills are utilized. Yes, there are a few examples of unskillful people running a successful business, but miracles happen rarely. So, all you need is to make a good business plan by keeping the available resources in mind.

Recourses include:

  1. Financial Resources: Funding
  2. Human Resources: Employees
  3. Educational Resources: Industry Know-How
  4. Physical Resources: Premises and Equipment
  5. Emotional Resources: Support Systems

Skills required for a startup business

  1. Excellent Communication and Negotiation: You will have to communicate and negotiate together with your suppliers, potential investors, customers, and employees. Having effective written and verbal communication skills will assist you to create good working relationships. 
  2. Critical Thinking: Being able to think for yourself may be a key skill at a time where the concept of career and therefore the workplace is changing. Critical thinking is clearly self-directed and self-disciplined, so you will have to be ready to think for yourself in a realistic and meaningful way.
  3. Adaptability: Adaptability within the workplace means having the ability to change so as to become successful.
  4. Persistence: It describes the power to push and push toward the finishing line, even the finishing line seems comically out of reach. It’s about tenacity and stubbornness, within the best sense of both words. like the old saying “good things come to those who wait”.
  5. Hard work: All definitions for hard work are right.
  6. Cultural Understanding: Recognizing the importance of culture in the business world is an important step toward success in the global marketplace. Understanding a country’s culture is a sign of respect. It also helps to foster effective communication, a vital factor in business.
  7. Initiative and Drive: Allocate resources effectively. Change happens because people make it happen.
  8. Complex Problem-Solving: Make appropriate adjustments and Keep your eye on the real goal.
  9. Observing: Observation is a market research technique in which you need to generally watch how people or consumers behave and interact in the market.
  10. Networking and Marketing: Meeting people with different ideas and perspectives. Marketing has become easier than before. Social media marketing gives you the advantage of reaching the potential market in no time.

Now before going to share the Chemical Business Ideas with you, I would like to give a Life Pro Tip:

I am here to share life-changing business ideas. Get through the whole script carefully and thoroughly so you don’t miss any important point in this article.

Here is a complete range of Chemical Business Ideas from the easiest to the toughest ones, from the business that requires just one hour of your daily routine to the business that needs all your day with full attention. It depends upon your Adaptability, your nature, and the resources available that which business you pick from the given ideas. It is recommended that you must own a business even with a 9 to 5 job.

If you are a student, it’s ok to have a plan that you will get a job after graduation, but also pick one of the below-mentioned business ideas (Business in Chemistry) and start your working on it as a side business. So that you never have to work on a job that pays less or you are not satisfied with. When having your own side business you have the independence to acquire the job of your own interest and wait until you get one, you’re not in a rush to get any jobs available because you have the money for your living already.

If you’re an employed person and have a very tiring job, still you can own a part-time/ side business (that can be online sale/purchase).
