Be Your Own Boss

Entrepreneurship  is the activity of setting up a business,  taking on financial risks in the hope of making profit. It comes with characteristics such as passion, flexibility, basic money management skills and taking risks, among many others. It also comes with having patience. Owning you own business gives you freedom and empowerment. Benefits of being a successful entrepreneur are the joy of watching your business grow,  getting to realize you own creative vision and also you get to have long lasting realtionships with customers. It is a great way of living as compared to working for somebody.

To be a successful entrepreneur you need to challenge yourself. No one other than yourself is going to push you to do better or more. Challenging yourself with bigger tasks will help you when you encounter more challenges. You have to be ready for anything and everything. For example when you start lifting 20 kg weights at the gym. At first it is difficult but then the more you lift them and start building the strength to lift they become easier and easier. As an entrepreneur you should always be looking for the next challenge.

Passion goes a long way. You have to love what you do because you are going to have to put in more hours and work for your business to grow. If you do not love what you do then surely the more work you put in will end up frustrating you. Passion should drive you inorder to be successful. That burning passion will make the amount of workload you will have to put in not seem like a great sacrifice.

Fear is an enemy of success. Fear is a negative tool which stops action. With fear no one can ever be successful. Entrepreneurs should learn to reduce or conquer fear. You should learn to override it because fear leads to poor decisions. You should be able to act quickly when you realise a mistake. When an opportunity presents itself to you,  you should be able to act on it fast without fear.  Fear leads to an unsuccessful entrepreneur as it forces you to ignore other opportunities that come your way.
