How To Become A Successful Entrepreneur

‘Think of it as a journey. … Only you can decide this- no one can decide for you.’

To live your best life, you have got to be with the best, learn from the best, and do your best.

‘As a visionary, you choose who works for you. As a leadership team member, you choose who works with you. Only you choose people that have your Core Values.’

Business is a game. And it is a tough game. If you are not willing to fail, you are not going to make it.

Business is a team sport. It is not a one man’s game. If you want to win, to become the best, ‘you must surround yourself with people who you love working with.’

Why? Because ‘spending time with people you love being with, is living.’ And that is why we are here. We are here to live.

Our best is possible only when we are living. If you want to get ahead in your life, you must ‘keep striving for 100%.’ And ‘you must consistently move the needle every quarter.’

The question is, ‘Will you?’

Great businesses have great people. If you want to power your business, you must put your people first.

According to Chip Haggins, ‘By being honest and vulnerable about the why of your business, you can help determine if you’ve got the energy needed for entrepreneurship.’

‘The question is, what direction do you want to take your business in? And how fast do you plan to go- or, in the business sense, grow?’

‘You never want to scale up at the expense of customer satisfaction.’

‘Simply hiring isn’t enough: consider how team members are bonded. You want them closely united in their pursuit of a shared vision and mission.’

‘By inspiring your employees, you’re building that entrepreneurial energy in them too.’

‘Maintaining momentum for your business means consistency working on moving forward and remaining dynamic. … To maintain momentum, you want to keep the feedback loop going, with both customers , employees- and yourself.

‘Momentum requires consistency over time.’
