30 Ways To Become A More Successful Entrepreneur
The second piece of advice would be to embrace the emerging markets in Nevada. We are on the cutting edge of tech, cannabis, and so many other industries that connecting to what is happening here with other industries is a great way to discover win/win opportunities. My advice to anyone would be to ask for help from friends, neighbors or colleagues when you need it most.
If you deliver more than you promised, you’re sure to have satisfied customers, investors, and business partners. This is one of the tips that I think is the most important for entrepreneurs to learn. Startups and entrepreneurial businesses need money. Successful entrepreneurs take the time that’s required to reach success.
It’s important to set and know what you want your company culture to look like. As an entrepreneur, you’ll be inundated with your business, needing to take care of it all the time. When you get home and have some leisure time, you might be tempted to read fiction or books for entertainment. You might have customers who are interested in your product or service, but if you don’t listen to their complaints, you soon will have no customers. Similarly to the last tip, without customers, you can’t have a successful business.
The advice I would give is to not build a business around location. But actually turning that idea into something tangible is really hard work, and it’s a lot of work. Once you get started, the idea and concept becomes far less important than doing. Like I said earlier, the idea of being an entrepreneur is really cool. You have an idea, or create a great concept.
It took me a long time to share my entrepreneurial journey. This is the most personal presentation I’ve ever given. In it I share an inside look into how Science of People got to where it is today, and why there really aren’t any shortcuts to business success.
Whether that means scheduling a call with your mother or booking a date night 3 weeks in advance with your significant other. I’d say, start with your why and map out where you are vs where you want to be. Look at your resources and see how you can leverage them to meet your goals. Establish an inner circle of trusted GrowTo people who will help you, give you advice, and contribute time and intellectual property and lastly, who will be in your corner no matter what.
But, if you want to be taken seriously, you need to understand the going rate for your service in your area. You may feel like you aren’t worth market value yet, but you will be doing your company a huge disservice if you price your product or services too low from the get-go. There's no such thing as an instant success. Don't jump right in and do everything so fast that your head starts spinning.
If you are on a tight budget, take little steps, do your own publicity, always get yourself out there joining groups both locally and online. I would plan and talk it out with someone you trust. Don’t just blab to anyone because for some reason, people like to deflate other people’s dreams or belittle them.
