1. CHOOSE WISELY
Setting up a business and getting it going can be tough, challenging and gruelling. From the time it requires you to put in, through to the incessant amount of energy required, you have to be passionate about what you’re creating. Alternately, build a business around something you’ve got lots of experience with. This way, you’ll be able to get things moving fast and sustainably.
2. DON’T SWEAT OVER COMPETITORS
When you’re starting out, a lot of advice you might get is to research your competitors. It’s wise to do this, so you’ll know your product and service is needed, but stop once you have this data. Watching your competitors can undermine your confidence and distract you from what you’re building.
3. STAY IN YOUR LANE
Business owners who are entrepreneurial by nature tend to have lots of ideas. This can lead to distraction and can mean that key projects may end up unfinished. The lure of “shiny objects” is real! Stay focused on one idea. Get it up and running, and you can always look to diversify later.
