Things an entrepreneur must know during business or career start-up and expansion

Entrepreneur man

1. It’ll probably take around 3-5 years to start earning a good salary in your business. Within that period, you might have employees who make more money than you while you work harder than all of them combined. But in the end, you will amass unmeasurable wealth.

2.  You are actually working for someone, well some people. Running a business means your employees, your customers, clients are your bosses. They determine what you do.

3.  90% of the time, you’re either stressed, worried or going through something in your business.

4.  If you’re going to be an entrepreneur, you need to understand that it’s also a career, one with a thousand-fold responsibility. It is rough, it is hard.....but it is worth it.

5.  In business, the more you grow the more problems you’ll be dealing with. It never gets “easier”.

6.  The one mistake many entrepreneurs make is that they first start with a product then they want to find a market (customer) for it. In stead, think of the customer base before launching the products.

7.  Sell the value not the product. In other words, show how your product/service solves an issue. It's not about the product but the value the customer gets when they use your product/service.

8.  Learn to listen out for a problem then find creative solutions. Do not build businesses based on what is "popular".

In the end, entrepreneurs happen to amass a lot of wealth. They gain financial freedom and command prestige and respect in the society. In the entrepreneurial world, the beginning is rough but the end is smooth and full of beds of roses.....
