The Importance of Commitment and How to Be Committed

The Importance of Commitment and How to Be Committed

I‘m always on the lookout for articles with the potential to positively change a business. What’s your take on the following points I came across recently?

The true mark of a committed entrepreneur comes to the forefront when their business is thriving and still manages to continue to drive it forward. Here are 6 characteristics which show an entrepreneur is committed to being the very best they can be.

1.Leadership

Showing leadership in tough times is one of the most obvious signs of a committed entrepreneur. There are entrepreneurs who are too happy to point towards someone else when there is a tough situation. True leaders are the ones who accept responsibility even when the business plans are not going as they envisioned. As an entrepreneur, you haveto pull the business out of the tough spot and get it back on track.

2. Ambition

Rather than being introverted and behind the scenes, committed entrepreneurs project a confident outlook. Their confidence is a sign of ambition, which is again a necessary trait for commitment. If an entrepreneur is not ambitious, they would have no keenness whatsoever to work hard towards its success. Of all the traits, ambition is one of the most important ones. They are often willing to accept failure as a learning curve and continue moving forwards towards achieving their goals.

3.Motivation

The committed entrepreneurs need little motivation to do what they are required to do. This is why it is said that people who require regular positive feedback from others are less likely to succeed in entrepreneurship. For people who don’t have enough cause for self-motivation will be happier to work for a paycheck for another entrepreneur rather than run a business themselves. Self-motivation is extremely important for carrying out the plans for the future otherwise you are better off elsewhere.

I’d be really interested to know your opinion. Check out the full article here - https://www.international-coaching-news.net/importance-commitment-committed/ - and then I’d be happy to discuss with you by phone (0404) 056-788 or email [email protected].

Thanks,

Thanks Steve, good points and fairly much on the mark from my experience. I've always loved the saying that "Commitment is an absolute term, you can't be a little bit committed. You either are or you aren't committed."
