I’ll admit that, being an entrepreneur is hard work. Being a successful entrepreneur, even harder. Lots of “want-rapreuners” dream of running your own business and being your own boss. If you think meeting a boss’s expectations or deadlines is tough, try meeting your own. So What separates the “also rans” from the extraordinary? Is there any formula the most successful entrepreneurs follow?
You’ve heard this before, but I’ll say it again,”Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” –Leo Tolstoy (Anna Karenina)
Success actually has very little to do with good ideas or bad ideas. It has everything to do with your passion, you also need sufficient desire to get started (“I really want to start a pub, but I haven’t a clue if I will ever be able to open one.”)
Successful entrepreneurs know EXACTLY what they want and they are relentless about achieving their goals.
The great Albert Einstein notably stated; “Genius is the ability to focus on one particular thing for a long time without losing concentration.”
Such is not the case for the entrepreneur heading for doom. In fact, the exact opposite is the case; trying to do more than one thing at a time eventually not achieving excellence in any. As an entrepreneur your success or failure will be as a result of how well you maximize your strengths.
