Many people dream of starting their own business. Fewer actually do it. Fewer still make a success of it.Why?
What are essential ingredients if you want to succeed with your own business?
1.Desire If you look at any successful businessman, from sole trader to billionaire entrepreneur, you find that one element that is always present is burning desire to do what they are doing and to succeed at it. It is not a vague wish, it is not a hope or a dream. It is a deep felt, motivating desire. It is what takes him through difficulties and set backs and failures along way. Do you have this desire?
2.A Plan You cannot and you will not succeed unless you have a well thought out plan. You must know where you are going and how you intend to get there. You must concentrate on route you have chosen and not be distracted along way.
3.Knowledge You must know what you are doing. You must know your chosen field. There will be others competing with you for same markets and same customers. You must be up with them. You must strive to be ahead of them. But beauty of knowledge is that it can be aquired. If you need to know something you can learn it – if you have desire. There has never been a time when it has been so easy to find information that you need. You just need motivation to get it. The need and desire.
4.Hard Work Its true. You cannot get away from it. The fact is that if you are to succeed in your chosen business then you must work hard at it. It is not a pass-time or a game (although if you are doing what you have always wanted to do it can seem like both). But great thing about running your own business is that you enjoy your work. Otherwise why do it?
