Simple plain litmus test for Entrepreneur
As a person aspiring to launch your own business that can be a result of necessity like taking over family business, interest to become first generation entrepreneur can all be equally demanding. Once you succeed you enjoy the real fruits of your hardwork.
As an individual here is a simple set of points that I've written down in my personal sticky notes right now to see if I fit in this scene. I want to share this with my beloved friends. You can try this litmus test all by yourself
1) Am I focussed? Currently I'm reading the book The One Thing and feel that laser focus is esentially important for great success in any arena. Be it a simple exercise routine until upto complex entrepreneurship. So, first question is do you have something to focus on? If not my adive would be THINK THINK THINK..It is true. You need to really THINK before you start a venture. When I originally started the idea had been to start something and eventually this will progress. This is to make sure we don't develop laziness and do something to break resistance. But after reading the book I realize that it should be identifying RIGHT SPOT before starting your work
2) Can you work 30 mins extra after reaching home? Every single day fo the week, be it saturday, sunday, you are on vacaiton, at home, party can you choose to spend 30 mins every day on your venture. It cna be as simple as replying back to custoemr comments or quesitons? If so you have inherent attitude to win exremely big. TRUST THAT FIRMLY
3) Can you change your sleeping pattern? YOu cna be night owl or morning bird. In general you have fresh mind once you choose to do things early in the morning. So, can you get up 5 mins earlier than your current schedule. You cna go to bed 30 mins earlier. Not a problem. Make sure you sleep atleast 8 hours every day. If you answer is yes, you have entrepreneurial spirit which is time flexibility if need be
4) Test before Implementation ? This can be so simple by starting a side venture for some extra income. As I mentioned earlier start spending 30 mins a day for first 3 months. You will really learn if this will fit you. I've attempted many ventures in past. Certian few niche websites might sound easy n beginning. Trust me I couldn't pursue after 1 month and this has been stalled or merged. So, if you want to do something you should be knowledgable about it,be interested in learning about it, atleast should not find it extremely boring as this might be your life-time venture
5) Do you budget monthly? Surprisingly if you are someone with regular discipline about your money trust me, you cna be extremely successful in business. Business is money to some extent self-satisfaction for founder. So, if you are strict with spending try to see if you cna create a simple excel trackign your expense for next 60 days. Discipline in simple terms is continuously practising certian things. This cna be real simple things like creating a budget, saving 25 cents in savings box daily etc
6) A man is a product of his thinking - Knowledge is power and thoughts grow as we learn more. So, practice habit of developing some skills daily. As a step towards this I've started reading the book The One Thing last month and made an oath to read atleat one page per day. So, far I'm happy that I do stick to this. So, develop some skills to sustain your business
