1) Build good customer relationships and give great customer service
So that your customer will give you more work, come back again and refer you to other people
2) Be self-disciplined to guarantee success
To enable you to get more things done in a timely manner
3) Be tenacious and never give up
Persist until you succeed to drive your business forward
4) Do what other successful people do
Copy what other successful people do and replicate this in your business
5) Be prepared to work harder
Get up one hour earlier and work one hour longer than your normal day
6) Do what you love to do
Surely this is why you are in business otherwise you will soon get fed up
7) Take time out to generate ideas for business development
Schedule time out of working day/week
8) Have the ability to sell your products and services persuasively
Be confident and passionate about what you are selling
9) Have a good supportive partner or friend
To support you through good times and bad
10) Take a vested interest in yourself
Get trained and take a course if you need it, or if you are weak in a particular area, study materials, read books and articles until you get there and even employ someone so you can get on with what you are good at.
11) Look after yourself and your health
Your body matters so take care of it the best that you can. If your health is failing, you cannot run your business effectively.
