They say that true success is not in employment but in doing business.
And yes, many Direct Sales Leaders, home based businesses, and entrepreneurs have proven that doing business is actually more profitable than getting employed into some company.
This is the reason why many people want to venture into being their own boss. The problem is that very few among them have the necessary skills and knowledge base. As a result, many people venture into business without really knowing how to do things correctly. Many do fail.
So what should you do?
- Should you enroll into some university and learn the trades and secrets of entrepreneurship?
Well, that’s a great possibility. But it may not be necessary.
- Becoming an entrepreneur can be learned without graduating from college.
Self-study, finding your own coach to help make it easier, research, and experience – are the things that will give you an edge in starting and running a business of your own.
- And to help you get started, I’ve summarized 3 of the most helpful start up tips for becoming an entrepreneur.
1 Practice Careful Optimism
Having a positive mind and positive outlook are crucial to being successful in business.
- It is optimism that drives entrepreneurs to move forward.
But there is danger in sheer and pure optimism. Excessive optimism might cause you to overlook risks and potential pitfalls.
- While approaching business with an optimistic mindset, you also have to acknowledge that there are dangers and risks that you must exercise carefulness.
2 Practice Healthy Pessimism
People will tell you that negative thinking will not get you anywhere.
- And yes, pessimism does breed fear and that fear can stop you from taking the necessary steps in order to be successful.
But, having a little bit of healthy pessimism, can be useful.
Having healthy pessimism means that you are pessimistic enough so as to recognize the pitfalls and risks involved in your venture.
- However, you are not pessimistic enough so as to allow those insights to stop you.
- Instead, you are driven to come up with solutions to every risks and difficulties that you encounter.
3 Find Motivation
It is good to have the ideas and the opportunities.
- But even if these things are present, nothing will come into fruition if you do not take action.
And to take action, it is necessary that you have the motivation to make it make it happen.
Motivation may be different for each of us. Find your own motivation – usually finding your ‘Big Why’ – why you want this to work, is your real motivator.
- You motivation must be something solid that you want to achieve no matter what.
So there is the saying that to be a successful entrepreneur:
Spot the opportunity, take a risk and build a brilliant business.
