Business ownership, entrepreneurship, creating a lifestyle business that gives you your time and enjoyment back - is supposed to be fun and fulfilling. So then, why are so many folks with the 'Preneur spirit in them always saying to me: "Eric, I feel overwhelmed, tired, fed up, sick of just surviving, unfulfilled, un-inspired, etc."
Quick answer: Simple. They're not doing something that is aligned with who they are at the core, that is aligned with their passions and their strengths.
So, what does being a successful entrepreneur and their business feel like? What is the answer to how to be a successful entrepreneur? Consider this from Perry Marshall:
"When Was The Last Time You Were So Excited, So Enthused, So Taken With Your Business That You Didn't Have To "Motivate Yourself" To Do The Things That Need To Be Done?
The ultimate cure to business ills is nuclear-powered, fire-in-the-belly, PASSION. Passion is the biggest productivity secret of all time. Passion overcomes dysfunction, it overcomes apathy, it overcomes the impossible."
What new business, or business reinvention would ignite YOUR passion and make you deliriously excited to roll out of bed tomorrow morning?
This is how to be a successful entrepreneur, and what business is supposed to feel like. It's not supposed to be a long hard slog. Business is not supposed to be an impenetrable wall of frustration.
I'm not unveiling a big secret here! There is no "trick" when it comes to how to be a successful entrepreneur - you just have to be passionate about what you do, and have a big reason why you want to make it happen so that you see it through.
Heard enough and are ready to fire your boss and learn how to be a successful entrepreneur? In one of my other articles I talked all about how to be a successful entrepreneur today, and the overriding message was that you must focus on building a REAL and sustainable business.
The first thing you have to realize is that "job security" is a false statement. The only person who can give you security is yourself. You need to take control of your future - and your future is better served when you can serve others in some way. The only reliable source for sustainable growth is investing in yourself - in your personal growth and development and in your own business.
I always like to point people to what I feel is the best solution for how to be a successful entrepreneur, and this article and the resources below are no different.
But, I want to add to this. You see, no matter what you are looking to do, you must put one thing above all, and that is - DEVELOP THE SKILL SET OF MARKETING. At the end of the day, all entrepreneurs and business owners are really just in the business of marketing their product, service or expertise - PERIOD. I cannot stress this enough to you.
So, what is a solution on how to be a successful entrepreneur?
1. Start your own business and create your OWN ECONOMY.
2. Develop the skill of marketing and selling while doing it.
3. Build a network of other high level entrepreneurs who can help you shorten your learning curve.
4. If you can earn while you learn, you'll have the ultimate advantage. It's actually than having a job, learning everything you can from your employer, and then taking that intellectual knowledge and going out on your own.
Do you sometimes doubt you have what it takes when it comes to how to be a successful entrepreneur? Let me end this article with a few questions for you, as well as a resource that will literally change your life and answer all your questions.
First, the questions you need to answer:
1. What are you good at?
2. What could you be the best at?
3. What makes you happy?
4. What excites you?
5. What makes you feel accomplished and good about yourself?
6. What are you most proud of having accomplished in your life? Can you repeat this or further develop it?
7. What do you enjoy sharing or experiencing with other people?
This short list should help you get started.
To tie it all together, this is the resource I promised you on how to be a successful entrepreneur. You'll want to go out and grab yourself a copy of "Strengths Finder 2.0".
There is an online questionnaire that you get access to with the book that is completely life-changing. This book will literally become your GPS toward finding clarity about your strengths, passions, resources, conditioning, and experiences so that you can become best aligned with who you are and what you're good at.
I don't think there is any more important work you can do than align your business and your career with who you are and what your strengths and passions are. This allows you to truly serve the world in the most meaningful, authentic and beneficial way. This in itself is how to be a successful entrepreneur.
