The success and failure for
entrepreneur is largely dictated by
ability to gain access to resources, both personal as well as those of others.So
big question is then 'how does one become more resourceful?' Like many of
skills of
entrepreneur, resourcefulness requires constant cultivation. However, if you can develop this one skill
payoff will greatly exceed
cost!
Below are 4 simple strategies you can put into practice to increase your resourcefulness;
1. Manage Your State.
The best way to gain access to an increased level of personal resources is by managing your state of mind and being. If you are feeling lousy, chances are
internal resources that you are able to tap into are going to be pretty lousy as well. If you are in good physical condition, well rested, fed and hydrated, your ability to push yourself towards
destiny you desire vastly increases.
Develop awareness around what pushes you into both productive and unproductive states. Then if you really want to be more resourceful, make
simple decision to do more of
things that inspire your productivity and less of
things that don't. One of
disciplines I personally follow, is exercising first thing in
morning before I do anything else. If I miss a day,
difference in my energy levels and consequently my resourcefulness is profound.
2. Seek Out Expert Resources.
Your ability to succeed in business is largely influenced by your ability to gain access to expert knowledge. The secret here is that you don't actually have to be
one that has that knowledge! You just need to be able to know when and where to find it.
