DON’T PROCRASTINATE JUST INITIATE

Lots of ideas usually flood minds of budding entrepreneurs who lie awake at night as their thoughts race and build up like an avalanche.  But sadly in most cases, these wonderful ideas remains just ideas.

Aside from time and money, fear and uncertainty of the unknown halts may from taking that next “grand step” of implementing their ideas.  Some people say they‘re waiting for the “right time”.  The time is now, so don’t procrastinate, just initiate.

The “grand step” meant was just little steps taken that adds up to that “grand step”.  The tips for taking the first step towards the grand step:

1.   Keep it in mind that it’s not a big deal.

2.   Get busy

BE BOLD AND BRAVE TO SUCCEED

Communicate the information whether it’s pleasant or not so pleasant.  Recruitment and company decisions that affect people are a sensitive topic but it becomes an angry topic when communication of the news is not properly done

In such case, do remember that the big boss is not the most popular person.  This is because he is a decision maker, and not everybody will be happy with the decisions that he makes.  Being a boss can be a lonely road.

The loud talk and lonely walk of leadership by bosses are because they sometimes do need to speak harshly to the staffs in trying to get the best out of them

ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL

 

There are plenty literary content and people who’ll tell you how to start a business.  Many think you need to have a grand plan for your venture, but there’s no one formula for starting and running your own show successfully.

POINTERS OF REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCES

1.         Market Research is optional

•          It’s a good idea to do some market research

•          But spending too long on it can hamper progress

•         It’s a good idea to do what you think works for you and it requires none other than common sense

•          Research in whatever form will take time; use this time wisely

•         If you understand your market the market research needed can be minimized.

•         Ponder: “are you spending more time in your business than on it”

2.         You don’t have to suit up

•          It take s guts to run a business

•          Sometimes it’ good not to know what may happen next

•          Even through planning, you often cannot what will be.

•          Remember:

“a high way needs to go through the rubble before becoming a smooth transport system.

•          While it’s good to be poised and confident in public, it’s ok to fumble a little to have a short mental block when someone asks you something.

•          People will be more comfortable with someone who is down to earth and honest.

•          Your integrity is more important how you look or speak

3.         There’s be ups and downs

•          Most of us know that well’ have good and bad days.

•          The issue isn’t about having no sales, but how you cope with it.

•          Don’t forget the people around you.

•          It’s important to maintain relationship with family and friends

•          It’s not always about selling if you don’t have a life outside your business, it can be a very lonely ride.

While you can’t control the external forces, persistence, dedication and passion may just get you through.
