You need plenty of drive and determination if you want to succeed.
Evaluating your own personal character strengths and weaknesses as compared to a successful owner of a small business is a great idea.
What else?
Now, where did I put that.
We've all been to the small workshop where the owner can't find anything, didn't know you were coming (even though you phoned last week) and hasn't got your order ready.
Let's face it, being organized, following up on the details and managing projects is all down to you.
And while we're talking about tricky situations, how well do you handle tricky situations or deal with different personalities? (I mean difficult personalities, but diplomacy is needed)
As a potential business owner, you will need to get yourself technically up to speed and develop successful working relationships with any people you need to make your business work.
Let me think it over
I struggle with this one myself.
As a small business owner you will often need to make rapid decisions under stressful conditions or tight deadlines without the ability to consult.
This is because you can only live on the adrenaline and excitement of being an entrepreneur for so long.
All that for that?
You've dug deep, you've made the calls, got the goods, delivered the product, collected the money, paid the supplier, the accountant, the taxman, the rent, the, the, the.
You've been a busy fool.
Better give up now.
Resolve to learn from mistakes and make essential changes is critical.
Cash is King for a reason.
Many different operational aspects of your business end their life either in or out of your bank account.
A tight fist of control and mastery of your business dynamics will have you ordering that new car soon enough!
Get your credits into the emotional piggy bank first
The first few years of business startup is the hardest.
You're not going to be as well off as you used to be until you make the business profitable and trade above break even.
There are no guarantees that you will succeed, and there are many risks when you start out.
Now you know you've evaluated your own personal character strengths and weaknesses and know you've got what it takes, its time to start thinking about your business plan.
