Why Most “Do You Have What It Takes To Be An Entrepreneur” Articles Are a Waste of Time
"Adam, Awesome article and great list. You are correct that we are told that there is a certain mold that we have to fit into in order to do something and succeed. When I was in seventh grade, I still had an undiagnosed math disability. I still can't do simple math without a calculator. We had a guidance counselor in school who called my mother in and told her I was stupid. He said the only avenue for me would be a vocational career and even went so far as to suggest that truck driving would be a great career possibility for me. Again, the mold. Being an entrepreneur does take qualities, but even with some of them the road to success is possible. What I think you really need is a dream and the proverbial fire in your belly. For me also, I fed off the energy of people telling me it could not be done. Writing is too competitive they would say, and the market is too saturated. Then there were the statistics of small business failure...they gave me even more motivation to prove something. And then there are those who score a 100% on the entrepreneurial checklist and still don't make it. Great thought-provoking article! Yoni "How To Generate Income By Giving Away Your Knowledge And Products
"You are not a lunatic...you make perfect sense. You have to give away things. But make sure you don't give away too much. A year ago I went to the supermarket to get things for lunch. They were giving away a lot of free samples. I had several cheese and crackers. A tofu sample. A small bowl of macaroni and cheese. A glass of wine. And several pieces of cake. I was so full after the free samples that I left without buying anything. Yoni"Simplicity Is A Key For Marketing Success
"Susan, Occum's Razor; which is not the newest shaver from Norelco. Rather a philosophical thought which states that if there are many solutions to a problem, the simplest one is always the best. So why do we complicate our lives? Great advice from you in another winner of an article. Great checklist for making our lives more efficient and productive. Stay safe from the sharks, cyclones, floods, and now tornado???, down in Australia! Yoni"The Art of Small Business Blogging With Anita Campbell
"Nice job Anita! I know I can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes. But I do have the highest level of respect for you and for what you have achieved. BizSugar is a great site and I do stop by smallbiztrends at least twice a week to learn some new "old-dog-new-trick" things. 9:00 on the video: Delegation: "You must know about things yourself before you delegate to others." Probably the biggest reason why people fail in delegation. If I'm giving tasks to others, why would I need to learn about them?"Why You Should Innovate
"Thomas, I think those within organization are more motivated to pursue innovation and see it through. There is a large stake in knowing that you will personally reap the rewards. In a lot of cases, outsiders lack the drive and heart to really carry things thru to fruition. Yoni"Subscribe
