Start Your Own Businesses: Ways To Become Successful Entrepreneur
In Zimbabwe, a lot of people are graduating with different degrees but that is of no use in the Zimbabwean economic context. Zimbabwe is facing economic meltdown due to various economic sanctions imposed and corruption at large.
There is no functioning industry that will absorb all students that are graduating every year. The question is ” Where are all the graduates and what are they doing now”…but the real answer is they are nowhere doing nothing.
The situation in Zimbabwe needs business-minded people who can survive in an informal sector driven economy. Like India, people are surviving with different business and their businesses are expanding to all corners of the world. India has no strong industry like Zimbabwe so people should start engaging in business and stop the behaviour of being employed.
Zimbabwe needs years for its industry to revive so that it will start recruiting people. Some of the recent graduates will be fed by then and some will be old and will be over the pension period. Zimbabwean people should change their mindset from going to school and get employed to going to school and start their own businesses.
Tips that will help you to become more successful. According to neilpatel.com
- Perseverance
- Challenge yourself. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to challenge yourself. No one else is going to push you, so it’s up to you to do it. Challenges keep entrepreneurs nimble and on their toes. If you’re constantly looking for the next challenge, you’ll always be prepared for what comes your way
- Be passionate. If you don’t love what you do, don’t do it. I truly believe it’s as simple as that. As an entrepreneur, you’re going to have to put in long hours and make sacrifices for your business
- Take risks. Humans are generally risk-averse, but part of being an entrepreneur is recognizing the risks that you should take
- Trust yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? Being a successful entrepreneur means that you’ve learned to listen to your intuition and rely on your wisdom when making decisions
- Reduce fear. Fear stops the action. Entrepreneurs have to be able to pivot and quickly take action when they see an opportunity or recognize a mistake.
- Visualize goals. This tip is less abstract than you might think, so bear with me. When I recommend that entrepreneurs visualize their goals, I don’t intend for them to close their eyes and see the goal in front of them.
- Act. Talk only delays action. Successful entrepreneurs act.
- Spend time. Do you think that there’s such a thing as an overnight success? I recommend that you take a closer look.
- Plan your finances. Startups and entrepreneurial businesses need money. It’s just a part of the lifestyle. Many entrepreneurs spend too much time looking for money and not enough acting, but that doesn’t mean that you can leap into the abyss without a plan
- Who’s your customer? One of the most common reasons that entrepreneurial businesses fail is that there isn’t a customer. If you start a business or make a product but don’t know who will buy it, that person might not actually exist
- Listen to complaints. This is one of the tips that I think is the most important for entrepreneurs to learn. Your customer’s complaints are how you identify your business’s weaknesses.
- Exceed expectations. If you deliver more than you promised, you’re sure to have satisfied customers, investors, and business partners. Making promises and not delivering is a quick way to lose your business
- Manage risks. Remember when I said that you should take risks? Yep, you should. But, you shouldn’t take every risk that presents itself. Instead, manage your risks
- Set company culture. There may have been a time when company culture wasn’t important, but with social media and the 24-hour news cycle, your company and employees are always under scrutiny. Your attitude, beliefs, and morals set the tone for the rest of your company and culture.
- Learn and create. The successful entrepreneur mindset is that of learning and creation. As an entrepreneur, you always want to be taking in new information and creating.
- Focus. The life of a successful entrepreneur can feel scattered and disjointed, but it’s important to limit your time spent multitasking.
- Get inspired. Being an entrepreneur is a creative pursuit. As an entrepreneur, you have to make connections, solve problems, and create new things that no one has thought of before
- Failure. This is not an option but if you fail, stand up and start again but with a different approach.
