Be the Best you can Be

This week I have learned a lot about being successful as an entrepreneur. I really enjoyed an article by Jeff Sandefer that was called Are successful entrepreneurs born or made? A couple of things he mentioned about skills I really liked. He said “It helps to be born with an engaging personality,” the man who had built a fortune in rent houses added. “But that’s no substitute for knocking on door after door and every time you are turned down, having the courage to knock again. Sales is a matter of learning about human nature, yours and theirs, through trial and error.” A list of important skills soon followed: “The ability to find good salespeople and manage a sales force.” “Having a firm grasp of which numbers are important.” “Knowing how to put together an assembly line or service delivery process.” More skills were added to the list: • “Being able to communicate clearly.” • “Listening and questioning customers.” • “Being a problem solver; thinking.” • “Being curious enough to uncover and unravel the strategies of competitors.” I feel to be successful is exactly what he mentioned above. I want to take these thoughts and use in my future business plan. I also enjoyed in the video of Heroes Journey, speaker Jeff Sandefer, this week as well. He said “if you give up measuring your self to others, you will be successful.” He also said to be hero, you must deice to be a person who gets, rather than a person who says I can’t- you can!” I want to be a doer and stop having excuses in my life of why I can’t- I can do anything I put my mind to in my life and goals.
