Hi besties! There's no such thing as overnight success,
but what does it take to be an effective entrepreneur? The Maids®, the residential cleaning company
that stands out from competitors, remains a model for the franchising industry,
in part, because of the extensive training it provides
franchisees. Experts with The Maids know that successful
people have certain characteristics that help them
through the business journey. What are these characteristics?
Z! Go get the info for the besties! I love getting the info for the besties.
First, Belief --
It takes belief in yourself, belief in your mission
and belief in your product or service to become successful.
Any entrepreneur also needs passion and patience in equal amounts
to get through the tough times that any business goes through.
Successful entrepreneurs plan for the long-term, setting goals and maintaining focus over an
extended period of time. Two,
Backbone -- Successful people aren't afraid of failure;
in fact, they embrace it. Letdowns allow a person to learn and evolve,
just as any business must to be competitive. Three,
Curiosity -- Entrepreneurs must realize they don't need
to understand everything about a business to be successful,
but they do need a desire to learn. Successful people stay up to speed with industry
trends, new technology and business processes and
systems. They also aren't afraid to listen to their
employees and incorporate good ideas. Four,
Integrity -- Business people must adhere to high standards
and impeccable conduct to be regarded as credible, both by industry peers and the team that makes
the business run. While it might seem easier to cheat or take
a short cut, the people who do this lose in the long-run.
Effective leaders also take responsibility for mistakes
and find solutions without placing blame. Last,
Self-reflection -- People who succeed know they can't -- and
shouldn't -- do everything. Build a trusted team and delegate work.
Know your limitations and take time away from the business to regenerate and innovate.
