Learn to Say NoAs an employee saying yes showed a respect for authority and the ability to be a strong team player. However an entrepreneur holds all the decision making responsibility for their venture, therefore it's important to really consider how each decision could impact the business's future.
Don't Worry About Being Perfect New businesses and start-ups don't have the resources that large corporations have, meaning too much time on perfecting a product or service could lead to missed opportunities. In the early days of business it's important to gain a good momentum in terms of business growth, and a preoccupation with perfection is likely to limit a business's growth rate.
No Defined RoleIt's rare for an entrepreneur to be able to hire a team in the early days of their venture. This means entrepreneurs often find themselves performing every business process in order to keep their business functioning. Whereas employees may be stuck doing the same tasks day in day out, entrepreneurs must be prepared to take on any task that is required to keep their business on track.
Of course there are some employee habits that translate well to entrepreneurship, time management and self-discipline are both vital skills for entrepreneurship. As an entrepreneur himself, Managing Director of Consultonomics Joe Clarke understands the importance of getting the balance of these skills right and being able to adapt to different working situations. Joe Clarke started out as self self-employed, however when his success outgrew his capabilities he decided the best solution was to transition into a Limited Company.
Despite the difficulties involved in branching out alone, there is help out there for new business owner. Consultonomics thoroughly believe that Networking events and seminars are a valuable opportunity that can provide entrepreneurs with a solid community of support from people in the same situation as themselves.
