We recently came across an article from Entrepreneur on the 10 Steps to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur. It started us wondering if our business owner clients would agree with their list. Contributor Larry Alton suggests that the following will lead one down the path of successful business ownership:
1) Love what you do
2) Take baby steps
3) Learn from others
4) Learn to self-promote
5) Constantly take action
6) Make a plan
7) Build a reputation
8) It’s never too late to start
9) Build your “A” Team
10) Be mindful of your attitude
What actions did you take or what mindsets did you adopt to create your business? What characteristics have you noted in other successful entrepreneurs you have met? Would you alter or add to Entrepreneur’s list?
