It’s one thing to be an entrepreneur, and yet another thing to be a successful one. What separates both of them is simply a combination of key features which when applied consistently and creatively goes a long way in determining the difference between success and failure. Let’s take a long, hard look at these:
1. They Create Brilliant Solutions That Also Sell
As an entrepreneur, it is important to come up with brilliant solutions that not only catch people’s attention, but also motivates them to buy. Basically, your “big idea” should be an unforgettable concept that captures the imagination of your audience, and puts your product in their hands!
2. For Them, Research Is Key
It’s not just enough to say “We are the best this, we are the best that”. It is very important to do accurate research to carefully find out that one amazing fact about your product around which you will build your campaign.
3. They Base Their Success On Results
One of the biggest error any entrepreneur can make is to assume they know what their audience needs. Don’t assume, instead, test the outcome of your product by how well it sells. If it isn’t selling, listen to what your customers are saying about your product, and make the necessary changes that will make it work.
4. They Are Disciplined
Discipline cannot be over-emphasised as one of the key attributes of an entrepreneur. It is discipline that will keep you working even when others have left, and that will bring you earlier than the rest of them the next day. It is discipline that will make you not compromise your standards to make quick money at the expense of product integrity and customer satisfaction. It is discipline that will make you work harder than the rest. It is also discipline that will make you plan ahead into the future, even as you keep things rolling in the present.
Apply yourself this way, and nothing will be impossible for you.
Remember also that in explaining why you are the best, never fail to provide fact after fact that states why you are the best. And nobody becomes a phenomenon in any field without putting in the time and discipline.
