TOP 5 TIPS FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS!

MY TOP 5 TIPS FOR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS

?I firmly believe that business success is as much about the owner as the product. As entrepreneurs, sometimes we need to challenge many of the stereotypical beliefs which are imprinted on us from an early age.

We all inherit beliefs, good and bad, but often the characteristics we perceive as a weakness may be a strength. Most powerful of all, is the knowledge that we can choose who we want to be, and living those values will drive the culture of our business – leading to professional and personal success.

?We are told ‘what people think about me isn’t my business’ – but it is YOUR business, so if you are perceived a certain way, and don’t like that perception, look at what signals you are sending out and change them! I call this ‘finding you’ – and learning to embrace and express yourself. Building your confidence and carving your own path in business will attract the right people and empower you to succeed.

?My top 5 tips to consider as an Entrepreneur are as follows:

1.??????Find your Passion– the businesses that succeed are those where the owner has a passion for what they do, a passion for doing it the best way they possibly can and paying homage to their core values. By doing this, win or lose, you will enjoy what you do, and that passion will shine through, attracting customers and inspiring your team.

2.??????Live your Values– explore your values and don’t be afraid to practise them, inside and outside your business. Your values will dictate the culture of your company, enabling you to grow and truly lead your business, rather than just dictating to others and making decisions purely for financial reasons. You are the best asset your business has, so don’t be afraid to examine yourself. Start to build your self-confidence and positivity – find your ‘you’ and never stop living your authentic life, discarding any early beliefs, experiences and values that no longer support your highest good.

3.??????Learn to listen and to value others– often we race through conversations with our own agenda, wanting to feel important by saying something clever. This means we don’t truly hear what is being said – and importantly, what isn’t being said. The greatest leaders know how to make everyone, from the cleaner to the deputy CEO, feel appreciated and valued. This is even more important when speaking with customers. Let others tell their story, and they can help you create yours.

4.??????Seek and take advice– even mentors need mentors! One of the reasons I am where I am today is because of the support and advice of others – and despite being a Mentor, I still have one myself. Remain open to learning, it’s a lifelong adventure!

5.??????Have a Strategy– to move your business forward, goals are essential, so decide where you want to be long term, think about how you are going to get there and put some smaller goals in place, measuring and monitoring your progress along the way. A mountain may be huge, but you can only climb one step at a time anyway, as you walk in the footsteps of those who reached the top.
