6 Things Successful Entrepreneurs Have In Common by Yarnvibes(f): 4:28am On Mar 16, 2017
Being an entrepreneur is not a child’s play. It takes a lot of guts and conviction for you to take the bold step to become an entrepreneur. More so if you are in Nigerian. When these entrepreneurs are eventually successful, there are certain things that they do or have in common that result in these achievements. So what are these things? Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency identifies some of these things. This will help budding and young entrepreneurs to take similar actions or steps.

1. They believe in their ideas
Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for anyone to validate their ideas. This is because they have invested a reasonable time in researching the workability and practicability of the ideas before sharing it with potential investors and friends. So, whether your friend or investor believes in your idea, they are not worried, they pursue it to a viable conclusion. Their positivity will always rub off on those around them.

2. They find solutions to problems
Entrepreneurs easily find solutions to problems and provide answers via a product or service. This is why it is essential to conduct market research to test your solutions. When you have a market, be sure that your solution will solve the problem your target market has.

3. They delegate
Successful entrepreneurs don’t do everything on their own. Except you want to experience entrepreneurial burnout, you will always delegate. What you should delegate are the things you have little or no knowledge about.

4. They go the extra mile
Entrepreneurs are never satisfied with doing things haphazardly. They are exhaustive and if they need to go the extra mile, they will. In going the extra mile, they sacrifice a quite a number of things.

5. They schedule everything
As a business man, your schedule is always tight. You are always in one meeting or another. The only way you can manage yourself and time is by scheduling everything. Don’t postpone anything. Be at home when you are supposed to and go on vacation to Obudu Resort when you are meant to.

6. They invest in their own skills
Whether you are an entrepreneur or not you should always hone your skills. Successful entrepreneurs never hesitate to educate themselves.

Two people you can never advise:
1. A woman in love.
2. A man with money
They're both delusional

They understand politics.
The number 1 ingredient to surviving and thriving in any socio-economic and capitalist system is to understand politics.

#To lobby.
#To understand and envisage favorable shifts in policies and bad ones
#Trade union activities, labour market etc.

These things are not like a, b, c.

Owkie..


I doubt Nigeria has youth entrepreneurs cause the old men keep dominating that sphere. While most legitimate us argue, chest beat,fight, hijack ballot boxies, and support more old clueless men to lead their future to a romantic mortgage.
