\"Success<\/a><\/p>\n

There have been many articles written and research done (and our experience bears this out too) that says that entrepreneurs underestimate the problems they end up facing in building a business.<\/p>\n

This is very true.\u00a0 And I think it’s a good thing.\u00a0 You see, if we knew all of the difficulties of establishing a new business before we started, we might never try to launch one at all.\u00a0 The same thing might be said about starting a family.<\/p>\n

However, experience has shown us that there that there are a number of things that can help when things get a little difficult. Here’s how a few successful entrepreneurs overcame the problems they initially failed to recognize:<\/p>\n

Having a clear strategy\u2026<\/h2>\n

Successful entrepreneurs focus on delivering their chosen goods and services and only that. They are not distracted by enquiries for cheaper goods or services. Don\u2019t be hauled off-track by the attraction of \u2018cheap\u2019 money.<\/p>\n

Being and remaining flexible\u2026<\/h2>\n

There is only one situation in which successful entrepreneurs will abandon a strategy: when customers won’t buy it.\u00a0 You’ve got to resist the temptation to be everything for everyone\u2026but when the thing you are doing isn’t desired by anyone, change plans.<\/p>\n

Maintaining a realistic view\u2026<\/h2>\n

In making plans, successful businesspeople are honest with themselves and conservative in their expectations. They won’t believe hype. Their understanding is much deeper and based on insight and data.<\/p>\n

Behaving ethically\u2026<\/h2>\n

Bad behaviour always has a way of catching up with a business.<\/p>\n

Having a robust network\u2026<\/h2>\n

Successful entrepreneurs have strong and extensive networks that they can turn to them in times of need.<\/p>\n

Maintaining a global perspective\u2026<\/h2>\n

Going international has been a recipe for disaster for smaller companies in the past.\u00a0 The internet puts everything in reach in a cost effective way.<\/p>\n

Being able to deal with technology\u2026<\/h2>\n

You may not like technological change\u2026but if your customers want it, you have to live with it.<\/p>\n

Having a passion for the job\u2026<\/h2>\n

Not much can surpass the single-minded drive of an entrepreneur in solving a problem. If it\u2019s your passion then you\u2019ll find a way<\/p>\n

Can you think of others?<\/p>\n
