Hi Friend, Visit our sponsor ------------------------------ http://www.rajtechnologies.com ------------------------------
Have you ever met someone who hears you have your own business, and immediately they launch into what they dream being a business owner is? Sleeping in, watching Springer, getting a tan, Shopping.. If only! Starting your own business Requires: 1. Guts. Everyone thinks of starting his or her own business one day. It takes guts to walk away from your day job into the uncertain waters ahead. 2. Being open to learning. Since I have started my business, I've learned more about marketing than I ever thought I'd need to know. Marketing is so much more than printing up brochures or placing an ad in the newspaper. 3. Dedication. Yes, it's so much easier to wake up and decide you don't feel like working today, stay in your jammies and watch TV. But in order to succeed in business, you need to be dedicated to your business. You have to work at it every day. Most of the time longer hours than you ever worked at your day job. 4. Passion. When you talk to truly successful people about what keeps them going, what encourages them, why they do what they do, it all boils down to passion. Running a business will take alot out of you. In order to keep going and not give up, you must have passion for what you do. If you're doing something because someone else wants you to do it or for the money, it will get old real quick. If you don't truly enjoy what you?re doing, you will never achieve the level of success that is attainable. 5. Desire to help people. Yes, everyone wants to make money. But in order to make your business a success, you must feel a need to help people. When you're doing something because you want others to succeed, it makes you work that much harder, gives you that extra push, and makes you connect more to your customers. Customers are savvy. They can smell a line of bull a mile away. But if you honestly want to help people, it will show through and that is what draws people to you and your business. 6. Confidence. When you're a business owner, you're the face of your company. You need to have the self confidence and ability to talk to people about who you are and what you do. Most businesses rely, to some degree, on networking. If you lack confidence, it's agonizingly hard to thrust yourself out there and make yourself be seen. Especially if you really don't want to be seen. 7. The Ability to delegate. When you own a business, you are responsible for everything. Not only sales, but also marketing, accounting, customer service, shipping, administrative, PR, and IT. It's way too easy to get buried underneath all the responsibilities and feel that because it's your business, you must do it all. You don't have to! Delegate! Work with a Virtual Assistant. A virtual assistant can take over the administrative and bookkeeping duties, can help you with marketing campaigns, and even help you bounce around ideas on where you should go or what you should do. Unlike an employee who is only there for the paycheck, a VA wants to see you succeed. Being a business owner is one of the best opportunities you'll ever get. When you're ready to take advantage of it, know what you're getting yourself into and it will go so much smoother.
