This is the 2nd post on an entrepreneur's conference I attended in San Jose in 2014. Many successful entrepreneurs and solopreneurs took to the stage and shared their experience and tips on their success.
They shared their efforts to balance family while building a successful career. I’m sure you heard many of these before, but I captured a few inspirational nuggets that hit home for me like:
- Treat your business like a million dollar company and that you have no other option but to succeed
- Be “all in” before you go “all out”
- Don’t bet the ranch. Watch your risk and don’t risk too much on your business or a business opportunity. A risk isn’t only money, it could be your brand, time with family, etc.
- When you’re your own boss, you need to set a work schedule that will get you results, block the necessary time and stick to it
- The largest room in the world is the room for self-improvement
- Always work with intent, purpose and respect
- Create a cause for the brand. Something for partners and clients to believe in and rally behind
- Associate with good people and good companies
- Focus on sales (lead generation, sales funnel, pipeline)
- Follow-up and follow-through
- Your kids are watching you succeed or fail and what you do next
- Get a mentor
- Finish what you start
I hope one of these nuggets are the verbal kick-in-the-pants you need push a little harder and make that next step to whatever your success means to you.
