Starting Your Business

You can also establish yourself as a leader by starting your own business. Leadership is about leading, and taking the lead for your dreams and aspirations. Entrepreneurs are leaders because they take the first plunge into a relative unknown, not a complete unknown (as this would be deemed ‘blindness’).

Here are my 10 tips thoughts on starting a small business, or Work at Home (WAH) business:

1)    Seek business coaches or mentors.
2)    Learn, unlearn and relearn.
3)    Define your business then refine your business.
4)    Mind/Mine your own business. Really.
5)    Give, share and be generous. The returns can be oddly rewarding.
6)    Stay busy. Business is ‘busy-ness’.
7)    Focus on your core competencies and your forte.
8)    Be clear, confident and committed.
9)    Support a cause as part of your business.
10) If you are not enjoying it, change your emphasis, or quit.

To incorporate online-based business methodology, I recommend reading these established business leaders. I will post more of my experiences if you find this useful.

Go forth – and build! Your customers will come.
