Are You Entrepreneurial Material?

What type of person makes a good entrepreneur? According to Entrepreneur.com, a person should have these 5 traits:

• Passion

• Motivation

• Creativity

• Risk - Taker

• Optimism

I would like to add one more trait to the list:

• Discipline

So do you have all of these personality traits? If not don’t fret. At times you might be more passionate and motivated to crush goals within your business. At other times, you might want to be focused on all things creative, and being disciplined will go out the door. Here are some tools you can use to help you stay motivated within your entrepreneurial journey.

• Read or watch videos about other people’s successes

• Join a mastermind small business group

• Get a business coach

• Keep track of your goals and your successes

• Take a break from it all

  Entrepreneurship is an awesome roller coaster ride. It takes a person who is able to pivot at the drop of a hat without losing their focus to be successful but it is all worth it.

Go Your Own Way

Life is hard. Life is really hard when you are working at a company you dislike and doing a job your not passionate about. In one of my previous post I listed some steps you can take to remove yourself from a job you hate. But what do you do if you need to make a career change and start going toward a totally new direction? Here are 3 quick steps to try:

1. Join a professional organization

According to an article on Dummies.com if you have time to plan for your exit then seek out a professional organization within your chosen field and start networking. This will help you gain great insight into what the industry is about and make connections before you need them.

2. Find a Mentor 

It is easier to go down a road that you haven't traveled before if you can gain perspective from someone who has successfully been down that road. You can find a mentor via professional organizations or by joining mastermind groups on forums like fizzle.co.

3. Find a Coach

Have you ever wanted to talk to someone who can help you sort out how to apply all the skills and knowledge that is on your resume? Perhaps you have no clue what your next step should be and you need the skill & expertise of a career coach. Well check out 48days.net and browse through the list of career coaches to find the right one for you.

Life is pretty tough but what I have discovered is that if you press or "lean into it" with all that you have then you will see that you are much more tougher then your challenges. Are you inspired to go your own way? I was and continue to go left when the world says go right. What about you? Tell me which way you want to go and let's start the conversation.
