How to be a Successful Entrepreneur
9/23/2008 10:57:15 PM

An entrepreneur does many wonderful things. In fact, many people are amazed with how the entrepreneur's mind works. How does an entrepreneur become successful? And most importantly, do you want to be a successful entrepreneur too? 

Firstly, an effective entrepreneur should have great ideas. You have to research if your business idea is feasible. After gathering all the needed information, you can now decide if you will pursue the business idea or simply file it and do it in the future. For instance, you decide to pursue the idea. The next thing that you would have to focus on is generating the capital needed.

The projects undertaken by entrepreneurs are done in a very careful manner. Demand research is a very important aspect to determine if a business is feasible or not. Saturated and established markets are a big no for entrepreneurs because their aim is to earn more money. With this kind of market, the business that they are about to put up is suicidal because of the extreme competition.

If you want to become a successful entrepreneur, you have to work on some concepts such as ROI or return on investment, compounding capital, economy of scale, speed of business returns, and many others.

You can't work your way to success if you don’t know these concepts. So you have to study and continue your learning. If you can study a business related course, do so. Having the proper educational background will help you a lot in succeeding in the business world.

According to many expert entrepreneurs, education is not enough. As an entrepreneur, you must have the right attitude and qualities. Now what are these attitudes and qualities? Firstly, you have to be hard working. You have to be willing to work many hours of the day or night especially if you're a beginner.

Almost eight percent of your time will be allotted for encouraging customers or subscribers. In the case of an internet business, you have to attract a lot of traffic to your site otherwise, your business will fail.

The second is to be a risk taker. Most entrepreneurs are not afraid to take risks. This does not mean that entrepreneurs enter the market with their eyes closed hoping for success. Entrepreneurs are willing to take risks especially if after a careful study they can see high chances of success.

Not many individuals are willing to take risks because they are afraid to fail. But you see, an entrepreneur learns a lot from past failures. It's all part of life and so you should not be scared.

The third one is to be organized and you should know how to deal with different kinds of people. If you can build good will and you can win the trust of your customers and subscribers, your business will surely succeed.

If you have these qualities, then you're on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur. You can choose between online internet businesses or you can start by putting up a business in your local area. If you choose the second option, you would have to study your local market and make sure that there is a need for your business.

If after awhile you feel that it is time to expand, you may do so because you will earn more profit from it. The first option is often the most chosen at this point in time because there are many opportunities waiting for entrepreneurs online. Choose now.

Good Luck To All Of You On Your Biz Ventures!

God Bless You,

Marilyn

Seems like I've heard this  from one of our kids that went to college and got one of them degrees in business that tell how to do it or not do it.  I've got coffee buddies that don't need nobody tellin' them how to be successful entrepreneurs and never went to college either. One guy doesn't use credit cards; peels off a couple bills from his gold money clip, and just smiles and says, "should've had another waffle, I'm still hungry".

Hi Marilyn,

Sound common sense.  If more people would DO IT,
instead of THINKING ABOUT DOING IT, they'd have
far more success.

Have a wonderful day,

Jen

Many people look back as they get older and think of the chances they should have taken but didn't.  Of course, you could fail, but failure is a form of education.
