Here are a few senses of a successful entrepreneur. Because you decided to become self employed says a lot. All of us have had failures in business, without failures we never learn. How many times does a baby fall down learning to walk. A 2 year old that says I can do it by myself. We all start out as business babies falling down, then we become that 2 year old business that says, WOW! I can really do this.
Where are you in the grand scheme of things? Let's be truthful with ourselves in the evaluation. Just make adjustments. Start achieving the level of success you are worth and more than capable of achieving.
Rate yourself. Wherever you fall short, just make that adjustment and continue on your road to SUCCESS!
?Taste - You like the taste of success or just the thought of it.
Know and believe in yourself that you are a winner and you can do it.?You can see yourself crossing the finish line. It doesn't matter how many trainings, coaching sessions or what additional education you need. You are in it to create a generational business. Failure is not an option.
Or do you have excuses and 2nd thoughts about decisions that needs to be made. Do you constantly delay finishing a task. This is where coaching and mentors assist business owners. We have been there and know solutions to the outcome you want to achieve.
Hearing - Listening to the customer/client needs.?
Do you ask a prospective client or customer:
"How can I help you or is their anything you need me to help you with?
Or do you tell them this what I can do for you without knowing what it is that the business offers or the customer needs are.
People in general want to be heard. This is a valuable and necessary skill in business. This is a natural skill for some and a skill that has to be learned by others. Understanding and being compassionate to the concerns of other is a life skill to say the least. It takes you a long way in business.
Smell - You can sense trouble.

Sensing it is a scam offer and walking away from the offer.
Or does it sound so rewarding you take the risk anyway hoping what they say will happen comes true.
Be patient with yourself, know there are no short cuts to long term success. The road to success is developing the stamina that is needed when challenges come. When you have to investment in a big purchase for new equipment that's vital to your business, do you see it as spending money or an investment in the future of your business. There is a learning process that's taking place while your business is growing. Watchout for the short cuts; most are dead ends.
Touch - Staying connected by communicating with your clients
In today's world of business and customer service, this can be accomplished several ways:
Personal 1 on 1 connecting, email, circulars, text ect. Technology has created doorways of opportunities allowing us to keep a foot in the door.
Keep in mind this door of communication is future business. It can create repeat business or referral business. Create the best connection for your business and stay in touch.
Seeing - What does your vision for the future of your business look like?
Website, LinkedIn Profile, Facebook, Goggle, Instagram, Amazon, ect. these are all apart of the growth of your business future. Start your own show giving insight and building value as a Thought Leader in your industry. Having a mentor and coach keeps you on track helping as you build your business. All great leaders have mentors and coaches.
Social Media sites isn't just a thing. It is the thing in the world today. Let your customers/clients know where you are and how to find you. When they find you make sure your contact information is up to date. Does your social media sites look appealing and compelling. Remember "YOU" are the next big thing!
Take the time to complete yours sites. Your sites speaks to all that sees them. They are telling the story of who you are. Make sure your sites are sending the right message. Your future is waiting for you!
