Do you have discipline?
I think the most important quality needed to become a successful entrepreneur is self-discipline. You need it in every aspect of your life, professionally, financially, physically, and mentally. Without it, you are doomed to failure.
Entrepreneurs often need an unbiased, reliable resource to vet their ideas, problems, and judgement. Vistage provides that avenue for me. I have been a member of Vistage 2060 in Tampa for almost 12 years. Our group consists of 12 CEOs from non-competing companies throughout the region. We meet for a full day every month and each of us has a two hour one on one session with our chair as well. As they say, Vistage is where I go to get my answers questioned.
A few years ago I couldn't even spell entrepreneur, now I are one.
What is a Serial Entrepreneur? When I started my 3rd company, my colleagues and associates began to call me a serial entrepreneur. I said “What?” I wasn’t sure I wanted to be associated with any term that started with the word “serial”. Well, I looked it up and Wikipedia says: When you start a number of different companies, you are doing something different all the time and, as a result, continually learning. I love learning. I also love sharing what I have learned with others. Thus, I started this site and my related Blog with the goal of providing valuable information to others who have taken the entrepreneurial plunge and want to build their businesses.
“A serial entrepreneur is one who continuously comes up with new ideas and starts new businesses. In the media, the serial entrepreneur is represented as possessing a higher propensity for risk, innovation and achievement. Serial entrepreneurs are more likely to experience repeated entrepreneurial success. They are more likely to take risks and recover from business failure.”
Ok, sounds like me alright.
Stay tuned and I am sure some of the real life experiences I talk about will help you in your journey to success. And don't be afraid to participate in the discussions on my Blog as well as the comments page of this website. I look forward to hearing from you.
