Break a Habit Today
Just as important as developing good habits to become a successful entrepreneur is to rid ourselves of the habits that are holding us back. Here are two habits typical of entrepreneurs that we can start breaking today.
Believing we know it all. Entrepreneurs tend to be high achievers and often egos get in the way of our personal growth and business success. When we behave arrogantly, clients and potential clients are turned off and that first impression stays with them for a long time. Resolve to be client-focused and apply your strong talents toward a mutually beneficial relationship instead. Don’t let a know-it-all attitude hold you back.
Hanging out with the same people. It is natural for people, even entrepreneurs, to hang out with people we already know. There is comfort there. And most of our business is probably already coming from these people. But if we want to grow, personally and professionally, we need to break out of our comfort zone and start meeting new people. At the next networking event, commit to talking with someone we don’t already know. Who knows where it will lead?
Make it a great day!
