It’s clear that there is something special about entrepreneurs. They come up with big, innovative ideas, take risks like no other, and don’t stop until they have reached their goal. But what does it really mean to be a successful entrepreneur?
Have you ever felt overwhelmed when looking at the scope of your big goals? Everyone has. That’s why I created a concept that I call micro-moments, which are my way of breaking down those intimidating tasks into small components designed to be distinct micro-goals or experiences that can be completed in a small amount of time.
There’s no such thing as failure, only feedback. That’s what all successful entrepreneurs say, anyway. And they’re probably right. But even if you don’t believe in the power of positive thinking, there’s still a lot to be learned from failure. After all, it is the ultimate teacher.
There’s no school for entrepreneurship or at least no school that teaches you the lessons you will learn by being an entrepreneur. You can read all the books and articles you want, but until you’re actually out there starting and running your own business, you won’t really know what it’s like. I like to think of myself as a seasoned entrepreneur because I’ve made so many mistakes along the way. And trust me, I’ve learned some hard lessons. These are a few lessons I’ve learned that I wish I knew starting out.
