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."
The fast answer - because they aren't in a business or starting a business that is aligned with their own unique strengths and passions.
Well then, what does it feel like when you're a successful entrepreneur, and when you own a successful business? What's the answer to "How to be a successful entrepreneur?" Consider this quote 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."
So what can YOU get excited about, so that you jump out of bed each morning, passionate about your business, ready to start the day?
And folks, THAT is what having a successful business feels like. That is how to be a successful entrepreneur: pour your heart into it. It shouldn't feel like a chore, or be frustrating or tiring. It shouldn't feel like just another job.
There's no big secret here - the biggest key when it comes to how to be a successful entrepreneur is having a passion for what you do, and a big reason to see it through and make it happen.
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.
Recognize that "job security" is complete bull. Control your destiny. Serve your future by serving others. You cannot possibly rely on sustainable growth from external forces. The only reliable investment is in your own business; your USP; your best clients, your own personal growth and development.
I like to point people toward what I feel is the best solution for how to be a successful entrepreneur in this economy - both online and off - and the resources below this article are no different.
But there's more. Because it doesn't matter what you do, you must develop the skill set of MARKETING. Every business owner's main focus should be marketing their business, no matter what services or products they offer. I can't stress this enough.
So - bottom line - what is the solution when it comes to how to be a successful entrepreneur?
1. Start your own business and create your OWN ECONOMY.
2. Develop the skill of marketing and sales while doing it.
3. Build a network of other high level entrepreneurs who can mentor you and help you shorten your learning curve.
4. If you can earn while you learn, it is the ultimate advantage. It's basically the same as having a job, learning everything you can from your employer, and then taking that intellectual knowledge and going out on your own. But better.
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.
Now, for my resource I promised you on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Go out and grab yourself a copy of this book: Strengths Finder 2.0.
In the book, you'll get access to an online questionnaire that will change your life. It's literally a GPS for helping you gain clarity and focus on your strengths, passions, resources, conditioning, and experiences to align yourself with the business that you're meant to do.
Frankly, I personally don't think there is anything more important or noble than having a business or career that is perfectly in line with who you are and what your strengths and passions are. Doing this allows you to live the most meaningful, authentic and beneficial life for yourself and for others. THAT is how to be a successful entrepreneur.
