The best way for an entrepreneur to level up is by learning and being innovative .
Look at companies like Apple and Amazon .
Those 2 companies are driven by innovative research driven people .
As a business owner you are a service provider not just a sales man .
The biggest challenges we face as entrepreneurs is continuously learning .
There is no reason why we shouldn’t be learning especially seeing the ease of access we have to information.
Some of us are our own worst enemy .
Complacency will kill your businesses growth .
On top of that the feeling and satisfaction we get when making a lot of money gives can us an illusion of success .
Look at the entrepreneurs that had it all then lost it all .
If you are not learning you are setting yourself up to fail .
An intelligent entrepreneur knows that to survive and thrive he /she has to learn .
The moment you stop learning is the moment you stop growing .
Being an entrepreneur is challenging and rewarding however not every one is cut out tobe an entrepreneur .
Your patience will pay off and put you in a better position to make money and establish yourself .
Some entrepreneurs do not give themselves enough time for anything worth while to materialize .
If nothing isn’t marginalizing it is impossible to measure a result .
Now for all of you results driven managers and CEO’s here is my advice for you .
Do not try to control the outcome .
Things will happen in time just as long as you keep applying yourself .
There is nothing you can can do besides speed up the process but even then you cannot predict the timing of the results .
I have learned a lot over the years through out the course of my journey .
Learning to be patient has been the best part of my journey because it has helped me to detach myself from a specific outcome .
Somethings will go your way ,somethings will not work in your favor but that’s apart of being an entrepreneur .
Some entrepreneurs like celebrating their wins but get discouraged when they lose .
It is important to detach yourself from a specific results.
It makes it a lot easier to accept your losses .
Remember success is rented not owned .
Today you can be riding high tomorrow you can lose it all .
How many athletes have you seen file for bankruptcy a few short years after retiring ?
What makes it even worst is they never learned from their colleagues who went broke before them .
Not learning and not listening will leave you in a position you wouldn’t want to be in .
Success can be a lousy teacher if you allow it to .
Being successful means you have achieved milestones or goals which also means you accomplished a result or results you wanted .
Conclusion
Keep the fire lit and don’t you stop striving . Change is the only thing that is guaranteed. Neither of us can control the unknown however we control our actions and decisions .
