you aren’t good at, hire the talent who is an expert in that particular stuff. While working
there were many areas which were my weakness, I can’t learn everything out there in this
world but at least I can get my work done from the expert. This also means you need to
work smarter and not harder.
Believe in Teamwork
You can never be selfish enough to grow alone. The right way is overall growth. You aren’t
octopus with eight hands to do all the tasks alone. Have a team of like minds and share the
tasks among them. Your tasks will be achieved extremely well in timeframe. Good team
always gives you better perspectives while in problems. As H.E. Luccock said “No one can
whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.”
Management of Money
When you have lots of money, you stop keeping track of expenses. Being an entrepreneur,
it is much needed to keep track on money even when you have nothing. As a beginner you
need money to buy inventory, paying employees, marketing and many other activities. You
need to keep track on a daily basis with buffer of next 3 months. ‘Negotiations’ is the most
important skill you need to build during this journey. Your savings acts an umbrella on
rainy days. Right investment with a little savings keeps your bank balance a good number.
Always wear your Confidence
There is always a time in the life of an entrepreneur when he feels low. On such days,
always remember why you started. Keep track on how you started and where are you now.
Celebrate your little success. This will constantly boost up your confidence. No one doubts
you until you doubt yourself. Your confidence reflects in your personality and helps you
cracking the toughest deal. Never, never, never doubt yourself!
Stay Disciplined
Tough days might stop you from going forward. Your discipline and dedication is the only
key to constant growth. Your strong will keeps you going when everything on this earth
intend on stopping you. Working with the same passion, same focus daily will lead you
only forward. Make a habit of reading and learning daily.
Stay prepared for every situation
It is always tough for people to adjust in a new environment. But it is required to stay
prepared for unexpected outcomes as well. As an entrepreneur, you will have to adapt to
the situation and revert accordingly.
Don’t feel shy to ask for opinions
You aren’t always perfect. A person with 100% perfection is a myth. As you don’t have
knowledge for everything, you don’t have a solution for everything. Ask people, talk to
them, make connections and exchange ideas. An opinion can solve all your confusion
sometimes. Talking to people and asking for their opinions broadens up your perspective.
Having your own business is challenging but the right approach and you passion can make
it easy. Win or Lose, Fail or Succeed, you must never stop fighting for your dreams. Don’t
be scared of mistakes, with time you will learn everything. Remember, everyday you wake
up is a fresh new chance to change, what you wanted to change yesterday.
