Here we will present some tips for becoming an entrepreneur.

Surprisingly the most successful entrepreneurs don't exactly have big companies behind them, the most successful have interesting ideas, a lot of determination, and are willing to keep on learning.

Prepare for the fact that there will always be people to tell you that your business is a bad idea, that you should not invest your money in your business, or even worse, that your idea is too big for you. This advice is often what slows you down and holds you back.

Know that there will always be people to tell you your business is a bad idea, that you should not invest your money in your business, or even worse, that your idea is too big for you.

This advice is often what slows you down and holds you back. If you are going to start a business plan, make sure that it has a very long lifespan.

Most businesses only work for 3 to 5 years

Appreciate your strengths. Do not expect that you can become a great entrepreneur overnight.

If you would like to become one, you should make yourself a great entrepreneur.

Be ready to put all your effort and persistence into your business. A great entrepreneur is willing to give a lot of time, effort, money, and care into the development of their business.

The only sustainable way to make a business successful is by being stubborn about what your ideas are.

Follow your instincts. For a successful business, there should be no compromises.

Diversify your business risks. Do not forget that in addition to building a business you have to be able to pay the bills.

Avoid accepting all of the risks yourself. Every entrepreneur should have someone else to take on that responsibility.

For example, every entrepreneur should have people managing finances, hiring, insurance, etc.

Don't forget to tell people about your idea and why you think they need to take it.

There is a big gap between the idea and the idea in action. This is where a lot of good ideas never materialize.

If you have decided to become a successful entrepreneur you have to go through a lot of trials, but also many setbacks

Most entrepreneurs fail in the first few months. Successful entrepreneurs usually learn from their mistakes and go on to become stronger.

The most difficult obstacle for an entrepreneur is the lack of money. Although this problem is certainly not a new one, it is increasingly becoming more problematic as technology changes the way we live and work.

The good news is that you can prepare yourself to become an entrepreneur and be a successful entrepreneur by learning the skills and knowledge you need to survive the difficult financial crisis.

First, get realistic. Think of all the steps you need to take before you actually start your business and how much money you need to make those steps happen.

Because starting a business is not easy, I recommend you to get real and break it down into step-by-step actions.

For example, start small: Ask yourself "What can I do to make this idea happen and bring the first step towards reality?".

See that you can achieve those first steps towards making your idea come true without having a lot of money or resources available to you.

Take action

This step is the most important one, the one that is often the most difficult. Don't think about all the obstacles that might get in the way and keep them away.

Start to act and start to get things done.

The journey from idea to action starts when you ask yourself  "What are the three things I have to do to make this happen?".

Write down a list of 3 things you want to do and have done, and then draw a line after those three.

Keep going until you get to the point where you have the first activity of your business implemented.

Start as soon as possible

You should ask yourself: "If I had all the money I need to start my business now, which action would I take?"

Write down 3 steps you could take right away.

Make sure that the list of actions you have decided on has only 3 items. Make it short, clear, and realistic.

In other words, make sure that your "idea-action" list is focused on the first three actions you need to take before you can start your business.

This will reduce the amount of time that you need to get your business started and minimize the obstacles you will encounter along the way.

Create your action plan

It is critical to write down your list of 3 actions you could do right away, before looking for funding or a partner.

Use the checklist and see how much is left. Be realistic and get what you need, not more.

Make sure the list includes the cost of getting these actions done.

Start by doing the first action and see if you have the money or resources to fund the next two actions.
