If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you are driven and want to succeed. If you didn’t have the drive and the will power to undertake your own business or enterprise, you wouldn’t call yourself an entrepreneur, right?
What can you do to jump start your business, make it grow, and take away some of the natural growing pains many entrepreneurs suffer? Here are my tips:
- Keep your eye on the prize. Your ultimate goal is to turn a profit. Don’t underprice your services.
- Keep in mind that sometimes the terms of the deal are more crucial than the price. Don’t accept any deal that you can’t ethically live with.
- Plan for most deals to take longer and cost more to implement than you originally planned for. Build a cushion into your plans.
- You may not always feel you’re getting paid what you deserve, but if you take a step back you will likely find that you received what you negotiated for. If those numbers don’t sync, rethink your patterns for negotiating.
- Persistence, perseverance and promotion are keys to a successful endeavor.
