The week after I posted my simple business plan, I was workin’ it. I did everything I could to make at least one sales call per day to keep the momentum going. I always found that after that first call I found energy and motivation to make a few more. It’s always getting started that’s the hard part.
And so I’ve been thinking about what makes a good entrepreneur. And one quality I keep coming back to is determination. Or to better phrase it, “pigheaded discipline and determination“.
This means making non-negotiable disciplines truly non-negotiable, and relentlessly pursuing my business goals every day, whether I feel like it or not.
Add a dash of passion and focus, stir it up with some momentum, and I believe you’ve got the secret sauce of an entrepreneur.
Of course, the sauce isn’t the meal — you have to actually have an idea too 🙂 Anything missing from this secret recipe?
