Whats your idea
Many successful
entrepreneurs begin by sensing a need, then moving quickly to fill it. This is either an entirely new product or
service, or something as simple as opening the only children's clothing store
in a large mall.
What does hard work mean to you?
Most entrepreneurs
work long, hard hours. They focus on
their real priorities, especially when times are tough. (Those
who avoid the tough problems by burying themselves in their original area of
expertise often fail.)
Focus
It's not just how
hard you work, but the way you work that counts. Successful owners/managers resist the
temptation to do what comes easiest.
Instead they do what is most essential.
It's a team sport
Typical entrepreneurs
have a strong drive toward independence, plus the ability to be a good team
player when the need for cooperation arises.
Trust process may be slow
Entrepreneurs must be
extremely self-confident to accept the risks involved in starting a
business. This helps them overcome
enormous obstacles to achieve their goals.
In addition, they can temper their self-confidence with objectivity and
change course and cut losses where necessary.
Change is constant
Successful
entrepreneurs adjust to the changing demands of a growing business and develop
the skills to deal with them. they
become managers of other people's work so their business can grow quickly and
achieve spectacular success.
Make the right choice
Entrepreneurs make
wise decisions without taking too much time to make up their minds. When they lack the knowledge to make sound
decisions on their own, they seek information and advice without hesitation.
Thrive in stressful environments
Entrepreneurs face
many crises on the road to prosperity.
To survive, they often unwind with sports and hobbies. Many are encouraged by the understanding of
their spouses and families.
Do you want to win?
Successful
entrepreneurs have a single-minded, almost compulsive desire to succeed. Although financial rewards are important,
they are often secondary in the drive towards personal achievement.
Be about your money
Running a business
brings many rewards--independence, community prestige, personal
satisfaction--but entrepreneurs never lose sight of the need to make a profit. They know that return on investment is the
ultimate measure of success.
Be honest about who you are
Almost ALL
entrepreneurs start with some weaknesses.
Those who succeed recognize their limitation and are always ready to
seek and use outside help when the situation demands it.
NOTE: You must acknowledge
and deal with self-limiting beliefs you may harbor. They can cripple your efforts to achieve
success and must be eliminated through positive self-programming and
reinforcement.
