4 Toxic Habits That Keep Want Entrepreneurs Down
Startups are the talk of the town and entrepreneurs are the new age celebrities. The people whose abilities have the capability to stand in the face of any kind of fear that comes in the way and show the attitude to take calculated risks wherever necessary. The word is such a craze that almost everyone wants to be called one and start something, some of them eventually make some good out of it but there are others who wish to but have not taken the plunge and thus are known by a similar but negative homonym wantrepreneurs.
They are the people who dream of their business but do not follow it up with an action plan. They are someone who can be called wanna be entrepreneurs who have the will but find it difficult to take the plunge. Hear out all who belong to this category and get rid of this status by getting rid of these four habits that are a thorn in your side and you need to get rid of them.
Walk the talk
When you set out to do business, you have big ideas and you dream it to be an overnight success. I don’t discourage the dreaming but in order to make it a reality, you must evaluate your options and make the best out of the situation. Nobody has ever become big just by talking, they are where they are because of the actions that they took.
Make money instead of burning money
There are some business that lay out highly advanced marketing strategies, rope in big stars for their promotion, talk big about it and burn loads of money doing it but they forget one basic element of a successful business, PRODUCT. If their product is worthwhile, a little push would do. Tesla, the high valuated automobile firm in the world has never spent a penny in advertising, instead they spend all that money into development and the best thing they can.
Listen to all but do what fits your business
The most basic mistakes the wantrepreneurs make is listen to all and succumb to social pressure. Listen out once and for all that the people around you will always try to drag you down but if you have the will, you can always super cede them. Now some may that not everyone is like that and I agree and that is where selective listening plays its part.
The perfect time
As a great man once said, “The best time to plant a tree was yesterday but the next best time is now”. And not tomorrow. I know a lot of people who have been waiting for the right time for like always and they have nothing to do but wait and carry their dream with them. So, there will never come a better time to take the plunge and get going. Device a plan and get set roll.
