Want to Be An Entrepreneur?

The only difference between people who want to be entrepreneurs and the ones who actually are is the work and the courage to get started.

Entrepreneurship will mean a lot of uncertainty. If you’re the kind of person who needs a lot of control and a scheduled life, you may not be able to handle the uncertainty that surrounds entrepreneurism. On the other hand if you find you have a need for a controlled schedule, that trait could actually work in your favor.

Entrepreneurship requires long hours, hard work and dedication when you start out. Being able to manage your schedule along with family and control your environment could help you with the organization of your business. When you start, you must take full accountability for everything.  Clients won’t want excuses and they’ll drop you.

Even when it’s their fault you have to be prepared to deal with the possibility that you’ll have to handle it. You need discipline to survive and stay ahead of your work, ahead of your bills and to grow your business. Take stock of ways your current situation could be improved by better decisions and try holding yourself accountable.

 

There are no sick days in entrepreneurship when you’re getting started. That’s going to mean you have to be productive, even when you don’t feel good, or risk missing business opportunities. You have to keep yourself in good health with diet and exercise that keeps your body strong and your mind keen. Get a plan for your health and work it.

There are going to be long hours in entrepreneurship. If you enjoy what you’re doing and are passionate about your project, that intense amount of work is enjoyable. Don’t fool yourself into thinking money alone will be enough to motivate you. And it shouldn’t be your only motivation.

 

Passion is a great place to start. Make sure you’re passionate about what you’re intending to pursue as an entrepreneur and that you have the skill set to get to work. Get involved in something you’re passionate about doing.

 

 You might think entrepreneurship is a solo activity, but the truth is that having great relationships is a must to long-term success. It’s not only for the value that comes from referrals, but also for the support you will need. If you’re starting out as an entrepreneur, you’re going to have periods where you need to rely on the strength, wisdom and friendship of others.

Look for opportunities to build your network. A good mentor is something you might consider and other programs will help you find the right people. Just be sure that you invest in them, too. Build strong relationships and open yourself up to the great support and learning that comes from others.

We don’t have to go it alone. I have found a great support system here on IBOToolBox. It is free and I have met a bunch of very supportive people here. http://www.ibotoolbox.com?jid=62616.

Questions to Ask Yourself If You Want to Become an Internet Marketer.

I wanted to make money from home. I came across an article, Jobs on the Internet. I have tried a few with no luck. I have learned a lot in the past couple of years so here is what I would suggest you ask yourself.

What is the product? Is it something that would sell well in a retail store or via other traditional marketing and distribution channels? What’s the competition like? If you’re not an experienced salesperson, don’t expect to become one overnight. Make sure you believe in the product, it coveys better if you yourself uses and believes in what you are trying to sell.

Who is your upline?  What do you know about the person who introduced you to the opportunity? Can you trust what they tell you? Are they willing to say exactly how much they’ve been making? What about the founders of the company? Have they been successful in their previous businesses?

When will you start actually making money?  You should be able to recoup any investment and start earning income within just a few weeks if there’s really demand for the product. Making a living at it is another story. You need to be able to work it part-time in addition to other steadier income sources.

Where is the product being promoted and where can you promote it? Is the company doing advertising and publicity of its own to help create demand for the product? And what restrictions are there on where and how you can promote it (advertising, web sites, etc.).

Why are you doing this? This is perhaps the most important question of all. Are you doing it because you think you are going to get rich quick, you might want to think that one over. If you’re doing it because you think you’re going to be rich in a year, well, it’s nice to have dreams and goals. On the other hand, if you really believe in the product that is the best reason I can think of.

There are no absolute right and wrong answers to these questions. The point is to make sure that you’re going into it with your eyes wide open. You can ensure your success best by being sure you’re getting into the right opportunity in the first place.

Wishing you well,

Entrepreneurs Don’t Let Rejected Keep You Down

The most successful people have failed at some point or another. And probably a whole lot more than you might imagine. The biggest difference between successful people and less accomplished individuals is that successful people don’t let being rejected keep them down.      

 Successful entrepreneurs have the emotional tools to manage disappointment and not let it derail them for too long, they’re resilient. Nobody is productive when working each day with a cloud of discouragement hanging over them.

You cannot talk on the phone or meet with others without communicating that feeling and it spreads. Instead, before picking up that phone or going to a meeting talk yourself into being happy and uplifted. Every one of us has something to be grateful for and we need to focus on that not on whatever got us down. We are a determined bunch us Entrepreneurs. So Let’s keep it going. Cheers to us.
