Do You Have a Business Brain?

We aren’t born successful entrepreneurs.


Sir Richard Branson didn’t just wake up one morning to a business empire. Lord Sugar didn’t become a millionaire overnight and Sir James Dyson didn’t create the perfect vacuum cleaner overnight.

It took all these leading business figures years to build up their companies and become a success.
They may all have different personalities but all three have business traits which set them apart from the rest.

You too can have business success but it requires some key elements.

You Have to Take Action
If you sit around waiting for tomorrow to arrive then chances are your business might be struggling. To be a success in business you have to take action now. You can’t put things off, instead you get round to doing them now- that could mean developing a new product, launching a new product, networking or trying out new marketing methods. You have to be obsessed with taking action. Those who constantly take action have been proven to have successful businesses.
Those who take action quicker than their competitors win in this economy.Don’t make excuses about not doing something.
DO IT NOW!


Spin Some Plates
Organised chaos. It’s a skill when running a business to have several things going on at once but managing to keep control of all of them. When you’re taking action you do it on many different levels not just step by step in one project. Do as much as you can because out of the chaos will come success. Company owners who do things step by step will see their business struggle.


Fail Fast
Failure is a dirty word in business for the majority but for the successful minority it’s a word in which they embrace. In business you’ll fail at something whether that’s your first business venture, a recent project you’ve embarked on or the latest marketing method you’ve tried. But instead of a moment of frustration and anger look at your failure as a lesson to be learned. By failing fast you are learning fast. We all have setbacks in business but it’s what you do with them that will set you apart from the rest. You have to have a different approach to failure in order to succeed.


Be a Multi-Level Marketer
To be a success you have to be great at marketing. Marketing is one of the biggest parts of your business and the sooner you see that the better. There are so many marketing methods out there that your competitor won’t be trying. It’s up to you to be trying different strategies and roll them out. Marketing has changed in recent years and so has the way customers buy. You have to be one step ahead and marketing is the way to do that.


You Have to Have a Thick Skin
As your business grows so will the amount of criticism you get. Jealousy is a nightmare and it’s something you will experience. The best way to combat it is by IGNORING it. You have to keep focused as criticism can come from all angles including your competitors, your family and even the media. Don’t let anyone slow you down. More than 95% of businesses are struggling in this current economic climate but there is a small percentage who is thriving and that’s because they all have the above qualities in common.

Insightful and helpful advice. Straight to the point. Having a thick skin on one's journey and being a multi-level marketer is what I take away. Thanks for sharing.
