Student entrepreneurs often close
down their "businesses" after a few
months; sometimes, a few weeks.
Those who have been in those
shoes tend to offer the wrong
advice to upcoming entrepreneurs
but trust me, despite the trend, a
few students are still making it.
The question now is, what do they
do differently?

1. CONSISTENCY: Yes! Most of us
know this one important attribute
but not many have it. You should
have carefully allocated time for
your studies as well as your work
before starting so as not to make
one suffer because of the other.
When your absenteeism or
nonavailability of your so-called
goods become a regular thing,
you'll NEVER have regular
costumers.

2. GOOD SPEAKING MANNERS:
Right now, this is not for students
alone. Every person that must carry
out transactions must be nice and
homely. Have you ever been in a
bank and the Customer Care Rep
doesn't reply your greetings? Yea!
That feeling is mutual.

3. HIGH INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT:
It may really sound weird but, yes!
You have to have a high IQ. That
does not go to say that if you're
not very academically bright, then
you cannot run a successful
business. As a student
entrepreneur, you may be faced
with problems/difficulties that
require immediate attention; your
ability to make a quick comparison
in your mind about the possible
ways out & then picking the best
option, goes a long way in
determining how far your business
will go.
So, how do you improve & increase
your IQ? Don't be too busy that
you can't relax. Play games(I don't
mean nasty games you play with
people). Research has shown that
games like Chess, Scrabble, Ludo
(and even some of our phone
games like Sudoku) boost one's
thinking and ability to take the
right decisions. Also read books, try
to answer puzzles and riddles,
don't be too fast to browse or
check meanings in the dictionary;
try to figure the answers out
yourself first.

4. GO THE EXTRA MILE: This may
require a lot of sacrifices but if you
want your growth to be a geometric
progression(I hope you still know
your AP and GP), it is NECESSARY.
Going the extra mile may include
giving gift items as bonus, giving
free service to the first whatever-
number in a day or any other
thing your brilliant mind can come
up with.

5. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE: Your
eagerness to work, optimism, hard
work and faith in God are the most
essential things. Don't miss
anyone of them.

If you have more, we'll like to see
them.
