7 powerful tools that one need to posses to become a successful enterpreneur.
Good day my fellow
readers, it’s been a pleasure having you guys here as I present to you my very
first blog post. Today I am delighted to share with you the necessary and most
important tools you need to posses to become a successful entrepreneur that
want to be in control of his own wealth, who want to create that landmark that
no one has ever reached or achieve, who want to be his own boss , who want to
be independent, who want to be a great icon on the niche they chose to explore and
wants to be celebrated for the lives they
have touched and for the great impact they have immensely contributed to the
development of their economy and to the world at large.
I know you are
willing to know what those 7 powerful tools are, I know you
would be wondering what those tools would be and how they can also trigger that
spark in you that will braze you up to become that great business man or woman
to be looked upon. It will be a thing of a great interest as we take a look at
those powerful tools you need to know or adhere to before you can be an entrepreneur,
not just only been an entrepreneur but a very successful one and they are as
follows:
YOU MUST BE A POSITIVE THINKER
Been a positive
thinker is said to be one of the most important and essential tool you need to
posses as an entrepreneur. It’s a pity
that a vast amount of people especially the young ones of these generation are
too fond of been pessimistic rather than been optimistic as they always see
only those negativity involve in starting their own business than looking at
the positive side of it. “Haa”!! I can’t
just put my money into these business because if these happens it will result
to these”, were always the word so many people do utter to shy away from
starting their own business venture without knowing what that business would
have become in few years to come. If were to be that “Mrs Folorunsho Alakija” a big business owner who knows the risk of
running an oil and gas company which could be destroyed by a little fire
outbreak still venture into such business with which she would have lost
billions of naira (A fortune) have eventually shy away from investing her hard
earn money into it, she wouldn't have achieve that greatness today as she never allow those negative thought to be the bedrock of
her business. if she can achieve that then why not you?
She never allow
the risk involve deter her dreams or vision. She saw an opportunity, saw both the
positive side and negative side of it , how it can be beneficial to her and the
economy. She saw the problems in the society and without looking back invested
in it, thereby providing an optimum solution to solve the problem.
She might not have
gotten that financial success she might not have been extremely rich not to
talk of becoming the richest woman in Africa. You have to be positive at all
time to be at the top of your game no matter the obstacle that might come your
way and always have the mind of doing a business to succeed and not to fail
because positive thinkers do get powerful result,
YOU MUST BE A RISK TAKER
It is so obvious
that many people are afraid of taking a risk and these have made countless
number of people to be at a point for years without them been successful or
progressive. Haven’t you notice that some business men and women even the ones
who lives in your neighborhood and do sell in a shop or kiosk at the roadside
have been in business for years and there
have been no growth or improvement of such not to talk of expanding their business nor having another
branch.
This may sound
funny but the truth must be told. There is this man I have known right from
when I was in primary school, I was informed he has been a bus conductor even
right before I was born, who feed his family and send his children to school
through this means. After some years of not setting my eyes on him, just
sometime this year i bumped into him at a place known as “CMS” Lagos Nigeria arguing
with a passenger while hanging on a bus with grey hair on his head and beard
which shows that he is of age.
i was surprise
because this is some one that has been
in this same business for almost three decade and yet make money from it daily
and cannot even boast of a tokunbo bus which he can use to start his own
transport biz.
You can be a
graduate or an undergraduate, you can be educated or not, you can be an
employer or an employee who owns that small business venture. your business
is yet to taste growth because of your inability to take risk and step up your
game. The truth is that many are destined to be rich in life, but if they fold
their arms and do nothing to make that destiny of theirs become a reality then
they have made a very great loss in life. Just like the saying goes “ faith
without work is dead”. Your destiny is said to be in your hands and only you
will determine whether you can achieve that greatness or not in life, just as
your faith is your conductor while your hard work is your driver that will take
you to your destination, you are the master controller of your life and destiny.
The people of Israelite
were destined to reach the promise land and when they disobeyed God they never did, thereby changing
their own destiny. You just have to take that risk cos you never can tell it
might lead you to your financial breakthrough.
YOU
MUST TAKE CALCULATED RISK
For you to become
a successful entrepreneur and a great business man in that niche you chose to
explore, you are not only required to take risk, but mind you that risk must be
a calculated risk. You have to be very sensitive and must be very careful when
you are to make any vital decision at any point in time. You have to be
calculative, you have to brainstorm yourself, you have to do some mathematical
check so that when things eventually goes wrong at the long run it can be quickly re- address without much
effect on your business while it still stand firm and strong.
This is one of the
most powerful tools an entrepreneur must possess. Over the years it has been so
evident that many entrepreneurs are afraid of growth. It may sound so funny but
that is the evident truth cos have meet and consulted with most of them, share
most of my ideas as regards how they can improve their business, but what they
will keep saying is that they would “try”, and at the end they would do
nothing.
There is this
friend of mine who was into one of the fast selling business today. He is
doing well as he was making profit from that business of his of which I am
very much aware of. He called on me telling me he has been thinking on how he
would expand his business. We sat and discuss on how this can become a reality
as he has lots of potential customers. I shared my own idea on what I think
would be of the best interest of the development of the business, but the next
thing shook me “my friend, this idea wey you bring na very good, but I no go lie you I
dey fear ooo. E be like say I go just they manage am like this”, was the
word he said.
One thing I want
everyone to understand is that most time what one may run away from may come
after that person and when it does what will you do?. According to a
philosopher named John wooden he said “
failure
is simply an opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently. It is
said to be the foundation of success and the means by which it is achieved”.
You don’t have to
be afraid of what you think might come your way if you are on the verge of
taking that bold step. When that fears approaches attack, fight and destroy it
cos you are born to win, rule and overcome.
YOU
MUST BE A GOOD PLANNER AND A GOOD GOAL SETTER
Setting your goals
and making a good business plan is one of the essential tool that one need to posses
to become a very successful entrepreneur. For you to become a successful business man or woman you must try as much as possible to draft and map out
those important and vital measures to be taking at every point in your business so as to guide you on the development of your business to reach that
lofty height you have always wanted it to be.
YOU
MUST AVOID PROCRASTINATION
Procrastination is
said to be an abortion to destiny. You want to start a particular type of quest
or business that will bring you financial breakthrough but yet you still don’t want to venture into it . People that
are found to be victims to this always use the word “ i will” and before they
knew it one year is gone, two years is gone , three years is gone. “ok
i think it is time for me to do it”, and yet they will still do nothing
until the fourth year has come and gone. It is a pity that majority of us fall
into this categories. How I which we humans don’t procrastinate I know for sure
that the world would have been more develop than it is today cos they are so
many people who have lots of unique qualities and would have made the world a
better place but are been enslave by this.
I know it is very
difficult to avoid such cos it seems to be human nature which we can seldom
avoid, and it requires the highest level of discipline to fight it hard so as to
escape from it as it occurs almost in our everyday lives. But I know and
believe we can be very conscious of it by trying as much as possible to quickly
start what we believe in doing without allowing time to pass us by.
If you check
yourself very well you will observe that you most time find yourself doing the
right thing at the wrong time and if you carefully check back there was a time you ought to have done that
particular thing but as a result of laziness you refuse to, thereby doing the
wrong thing at the moment you are suppose to do be doing what seems right.
So as an entrepreneur
who wants to grow and succeed in his or her own business you must not allow
that destiny stealer (procrastination ) to be part of you. This now bring us
now to the final tool which is also very essential.
YOU MUST BE PRAYERFUL
Every entrepreneur
need not to be told that prayer is the master key. No matter the religion you
are (Christian or Muslim) you have to put your business in the hands of God almighty, because it is only
through him our achievement and success can be attained or made.
Am using this
medium to say a very big thank you to the good people of this nation. This i have
shared with you shouldn’t be taken like pinch of salt as it is the only way you
can become that great entrepreneur or business man you have always wanted for
yourself, for as I know and believe that without any of this character trait
that has been mentioned above there is high certainty that your dream of being
a great entrepreneur shows that you are just in a lala-land which I do
refer to as a(dream world).
May God almighty
the all sustainer give you the grace and the strength to achieve your dream cos
I know someday you will not only be successful but you will also be celebrated
by the world.
