So You Want To Be A Successful Entrepreneur?

Coach's Advice Fit for an Entrepreneur


When I was in college, I had a basketball coach that gave me some very sound advice about being an entrepreneur...although I didn't realize it until years later .  He told me that if someone ever asked me if I was a good basketball player, to look them straight in the eye and say "yes, better than most."  Now that isn't an exact quote and I'm sure he used much more "colorful" language than that before he proceeded to explain how I earned the right to give such an answer.  Simply put, I had taken the time to invest in myself and become the best that I could be.  I had put in the hours at the gym working on the fundamentals of dribbling, passing, and shooting.  I had put countless hours into studying film and doing research to better understand the game.  I was a team captain, so I also put in the time to become the best leader I could be by attending leadership workshops and training in order to learn from other leaders as well.  My coach told me to be "unapologetic" for my success and "unsympathetic" to those who are unwilling to put in the necessary work to succeed.  Now as a successful entrepreneur, I think about that story and share it because I believe that it's good advice for any entrepreneur who is serious about building a successful business.

SO WHAT IS AN ENTREPRENEUR?


There are many definitions of "entrepreneur" floating around, but one of the core principles I believe that all successful entrepreneurs have is that we "accept full responsibility for our outcomes."  While there are many reasons for someone to pursue becoming an entrepreneur, I have found that a major reason why many are unsuccessful stems from their unwillingness to take full responsibility.  Successful entrepreneurs believe that we determine our success by how we handle our business and respond to various events and circumstances that happen in life that we may or may not have any control over.  We have a positive attitude and our mindset is that no condition, circumstance, person, etc. will determine our success.  We don't place blame, make excuses, or whine when things don't go our way; we simply assess the situation, make an adjustment, and keep moving forward.

If You Are Really Serious About Being a Successful Entrepreneur...

I am going to recommend a few programs that will help you be successful regardless of what type of entrepreneur you are.  Whether you are building your business online or offline, the key to your success is directly tied to the work you put in to make yourself the best you can be.  You must have the proper mindset, attitude and be willing to invest in yourself so that you can have the knowledge and skills required to add value to your niche. As you invest in yourself and your personal education and development, you are investing in your business because as an entrepreneur YOU are the ultimate factor that determines success. So here are my recommendations if you are serious about being a successful entrepreneur:

I have personally integrated these three programs into my offline company and online business, while also leveraging them with one another because they are complimentary. As an added bonus, any entrepreneur that decides to use these three programs to build their business will be given real-time personal training on what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and learn how I leverage these programs (and others) into continuing to build my businesses.  This is only for the serious entrepreneur that joins my teams.

To Your Success,
