5 Business Tips for the Entrepreneur


I was honored to participate in an entrepreneurial roundtable discussion. Here’s my contribution:

1.     Enjoy your business
        It is your business and you are the boss so have fun. You run the business, it doesn’t run you. Make sure you can balance your business in your life financially and emotionally.

2.     Talk, email or write a note to your Customers/Clients
 Thank them for doing business with you.

3.      Remember to be flexible and open minded to new ideas and opportunities
You never know.

4.     Investigate services that promise help and hire when it feels right to you.
          Know the people who want to help your business grow. Know the people who just want to make money off your business.

5.     Tell every one about your business
Yell it from the rooftops, mention it in the elevator, and work it into your introduction when meeting any one new or old!



  5 Things an Entrepreneur Never Wants To Hear

1.     I didn’t know you did that, are you still doing that?

2.      Is it a hobby?

3.     I don’t understand what you do?

4.     I hate your product/service!

5.     I think you should invest/promote my idea!

There are many more, but this is a brief look at some do’s and don’ts. What others can you add?
