5 Secrets of Every Successful Entrepreneur

Having your own business, making it succeed and bringing out the best in it takes a lot of hard work and persistence. It doesn't happen over night; it takes real determination. To be a successful entrepreneur you need to have these qualities.

Entrepreneurship

1.  Market yourself

One ability or quality an entrepreneur must have is the ability to market themselves. Know how to market your skill, what you know how to do best. Don't just sit back, relax and expect your business to grow that way. An entrepreneur must be able to go out to their targeted audience/client and sell themselves. Learn how to network yourselves, your skill and your product.

2.  Serve Your Clients Interest

A good entrepreneur must serve the interest of their client because you are out there to please your client. Make sure they are happy with you and your product. Avoid any conflict with them by being attentive to their various wants and needs. Don't give them part answers or give them any impression that you know it all but make sure you give them an answer to all they want in the best possible way you can.
   

3.  Don't Compromise Result


Prosperous entrepreneurs are architects of reality. They always make sure they get the best result they can possibly get out of anything they do or produce. For you to be successful as an entrepreneur you must not make the mistake of compromising your result. Don't mix little of the bad with the good. Don't use inferior goods to get your result. Give to your client what they realy want out of your product or services.

4.  Keep To Time 

To be successful, you don't keep your clients waiting. Set a specific time for them, deliver exactly at the specified time or even few days before to the set time. Get the job done for your client in timely fashion. It will be effective and appreciated better when they are delivered early than when they are delivered late. A client might reject your services when you don't deliver on time making you loose your money, your prestige and waste your effort. You must be reliable.

5.  Be Disciplined

You must be very disciplined and principled. Never mix business with pleasure or business with emotions. I'm not saying don't have feeling but don't let your feelings overshadow your business because it will bring it down and make it crumble. Keep your business in order and set aside time for marketing. Make sure your idea is not scattered, bring them together to make your business grow. Don't spend money meant for your business for pleasure. Know when to wake and when to sleep. Monitor your business, don't leave it to an employee to do all the work. Take responsibility for your actions.

How to Make a Difference

Inside us is a burning desire to be great, a desire to be heard, a desire to make a difference, a desire to always be remembered. We have all being placed on Earth for a purpose. We all have a destiny to fulfill. We were made for more and we shouldn't settle for less.

Independent of your field or expertise be it sport, music, business, education e.t.c. God expects you to make a difference in any area you are in. It's not until you have abundant resources or be in a certain social position before you make a difference. Stop giving the excuse that you have to reach certain social height or have abundant resources before contributing. Giving excuses is like wrapping a stone in paper and then expecting it to float. Giving excuses for failing won't make you succeed.  These are ways to make a difference.

 
Making a difference


Be proactive: Don't wait for things to happen; cause them to happen. The only things thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people is for good people to do nothing. When something negative happens around you, what is your response? Do you act to events or just react to them?

Being proactive is about you choosing how to your reaction. Power is developed with action. You might not have the power to end the negative event but there is something you can do that can lead to the solution. Be a force for good anywhere you find yourself. Help people who won't return the favour and you will be surprised to know that you were actually helping yourself.

Little things sum up: Nothing starts great. Every great thing big started small. It is the little things if done consistently that amounts great. The challenge is that most times, we keep waiting for big projects, top jobs to come our way and miss out on the small thing which could have amounted to be great. Start making a difference with the little things you do. Be faithful with it, stay on the course with it and you will be surprise the difference you will make.

Excellence is of importance when carrying out your activities. People are attracted to excellence. Don't do things shabbily because you think it is little and insignificant. It is the little things turn great great things.

Be a problem solver: People who make the difference are problem solvers. They see a problem, they think of a solution and they solve the problem.  You can't make a difference without solving a problem. Start by solving the problems in your community. Add value to people around you. Don't shy away from problems; the are stepping stones for you.The greatest regret in life is not failing; it is failing to try.

Be connected to your maker: There will always be somethings you won't understand. You can't do it all by yourself. You must be connected to God your maker. Ask God in prayer and seek him through studying his word for the purpose of your life. If you diligently ask him, he will reveal your purpose to you. After he reveals it to you, stay focused on the course . The road will not be easy but God will not abandon you.

Keeping a Lasting Relationship


The norm in any relationship is that beauty can't sustain a relationship but your character and understanding sure do. Ever wondered why some of your relationship don't last? You have tried the outward beauty but d relationship keeps hitting d rocks and you are tired of it. Why not try looking into your inner beauty; your character and see what will happen. We keep blaming the other person in the relationship for the problem we encounter. Have you carefully evaluated that? Or you are just covering up your flaws. These are some relationship killers you must avoid.

Relationship

 Nagging

Saying the same thing over and over again will get you no where. You might be thinking that if you do, they will listen and probably hear you out. That is a wrong assumption most people make in relationships. it only springs up anger and bitterness in the other person. If you want their attention why not take d easy approach when they are calm and happy or in a good mood and see how much progress you will make.


 Curiosity and Suspicion

Getting too curious and suspicious in a relationship breaks the bond you claim you share. People don't like it when u go all detective on them in any relationship. When you suspect anything, ask nicely. If the  answer you get is an indirect answer, don't push further or go spying on them. Nobody gets comfortable when someone spies on them. It breaks the trust in the relationship. Don't let your curiosity get the best of your relationship. Try to overlook some minor somethings in your relationship. Making your partner know in a soft tone that something is bothering you in the relationship during your play time won't hurt also.


Past  Hurt and Wrong Doings

Keep away from words like; "I still remember the last time", "that's what you did the other day". These words breaks  trust u r trying to build. It will only opens up wounds that are not good for a healthy relationship. In such situation anything the other partner does will never be good enough. They start feeling insufficient and insecure. Try letting go of the past and never bring them up even if u still remember keep them to yourself. Once you say you have forgiven, forget every memory of the person hurting you. I know it isn't easy but it will be worth it in the long while.  Doing so,you are saving and building your relationship with trust. Make every effort to trust again.


 Lack of understanding

Sustaining a relationship requires a lot of hard work, commitment and dedication from both parties but the most important thing is understanding. Seek first to understand, then be understood. Things don't just happen, they happen with a reason. If you can invest time in understanding the person you are in relationship with, it will save you from lots of argument later. When you understand, you get to have a picture of how your partner responds to situation. When an event occurs,you tend to say "its you" or " that's who you are". When u have such understanding about each other, the bond between you and your partner start growing.

6 Reasons Your Relationship is Suffering

Relationship

 “Every relationship needs an argument every now and then.  Just to prove that it is strong enough to survive.  Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.”

At some point we all get involved in a serious relationship, be it falling in love with a significant other, or simply establishing an amazingly close friendship.  As soon as this relationship is in place, both parties must do their part to nurture it.   When they fail to do so, solidarity is gradually replaced with suffering.
