The people you spend your time with will have a strong barring on how you treat success and your entrepreneurship. Make sure the majority of your time spent with others is around those who have similar goals in life..
Find like minded people to hang with and you will see your spirits and money both grow.
Planning is essential to success and as the old saying goes, nobody plans to fail but most people fail to plan. Don't just completely shoot from the hip. Instead have at least a loose outline of what you want to accomplish.
Nobody else is going to hold you accountable to your goals and aspirations so get accustomed to doing it yourself. Try writing down your goals to accomplish every day and checking them off as you go. Don't go to sleep at night until you have given 100% effort to accomplish everything on your list..
Focus less on how to turn a profit and more on how you can solve problems. When you can solve someone else's problem, they will happily pay you for it..
If you want to be an entrepreneur than stay away from MBA programs. I know from first hand experience they are a waste of time for what your trying to accomplish..
Find a proven mentor that will help to push you to success. He or she doesn't have to be an absolute rock star but they need to have some success and they need to understand what it takes to succeed, otherwise they will be of no benefit to you..
Focus on the good not the bad. There is going to be an awful lot of bumps in the road along the way and you just have to keep smiling and understand that every bump is a learning experience then move on..
Develop an overall vision for yourself and your business where you are projecting yourself several years into the future. What do you want to see happening in the future f your business?
You are a walking billboard for yourself whether it is in person or online. Make sure you are constantly branding yourself in a positive light..
Stop planning and start acting. Yes you need to have a plan and yes it is important to make it a good one but at some point you have to stop planning, stop talking, and start doing. Get in the game!.
Spend time researching everything you can that has to do with your field. Dedicate 20 - 30 minutes every single day to this..
A large percentage of anything you try to do has already been done by someone else. Pay attention to what has worked and what hasn't worked for others..
Don't be afraid to promote yourself everywhere you go. This doesn't mean run around like an used car salesman but anywhere you see a need and you have the means to help fill it, let others know.
