With September upon us, I thought you might find the following useful.
There are traits I see, which are common to all the successful business owners I know. These are people who started with nothing, but made fortunes. Real rags to riches stories.
Let’s see if there’s something here, which you can learn from.
Here’s a brief list. In no particular order.
They never mistake movement for progress. Other business owners are busy… doing figure eights.
They do not accept the idea of comfort zones. Their mindset is based on doing what’s required for success. Others act like a child when their business needs them to do something difficult, ‘I can’t. It makes me feel uncomfortable’.
They always have enough time to do everything required. That’s because they know the difference between a lack of time and a lack of direction. With direction you can achieve more in a day than others achieve in a week.
They are self-starters. They don’t seek external motivation. They do what needs doing.
They are reliable and turn up even when it’s easier not to. This commitment to reliability is both rare and highly valued.
They accept responsibility when they make a mistake. They own the error. They learn the lessons. Then set to work on putting things right.
They are good decision makers. Once they have the information required, they make a decision. They know that leaving decisions unmade is messy and unproductive.
They make a study of business success. They listen to informed minds and take notes. Others seek success, but listen to uninformed minds, and make uninformed plans.
They have discernment. They know the difference between bad advice delivered powerfully, and good advice delivered sincerely.
I hope you found that useful.
