People always ask me what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur, so here is my list:
Resiliency– The ability to weather the ups and downs of any business.
Focus– After setting a long term vision, knowing how to focus on the very next step to get you closer to the ultimate goal.Patience- Realizing that most over night business successes takes 7 to 10 years.
People– Finding great people to leverage your business.
Sales– Being able to ask people to buy your product. Being able to move on to the next prospect when people say no.
What is in your list?
Great Post!
I nice and SIMPLE reminder of things to focus on.
As a business coach I am always trying to find different ways to connect my clients to what they are trying to do in an effective yet simple way. I believe these five points can be valuable.
As a business owner myself, some mornings I wake up and find myself wondering what the hell I am doing. I think I could read these five points every morning to help me get in the right mindset.
Thanks for the insight!
