Entrepreneurs are doing a lot of great things and there are several people who would have given up because they couldn’t withstand the challenges that come with striving to succeed in entrepreneurship. To start a business and go far as an entrepreneur, there are pitfalls that must be avoided. Here are three pitfalls that can destroy your entrepreneurship dreams:

Quitting When Things Are Hard

When things are hard and the future is uncertain, the level of your hard work, your persistence and optimism should rise high enough to defeat the challenges of the day. What else will you rather do than heed Alan Kay’s words which say “the best way to predict a future is to invent it”, another sincere advice lies in the words of Colin Powell stating that “a dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”

Falling For Distractions

Focus is as important as hard work, total commitment and quality result can only be achieved in a short period of time when distractions are avoided. Even Thomas Edison admitted that his success happened as a result of total commitment, in his words; he said “I owe my success to the fact that I never had a clock in my workroom. Seventy-five of us worked 20 hours every day and only slept four hours and we thrived on it.”

Avoid Time Wasting

Time is an important asset to an entrepreneur; timing and time management should be duly learned and always put into practice by an entrepreneur. Using your time judiciously means avoiding dilly dallying or procrastination, Walt Disney said “the best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing”. An entrepreneur must be smart enough to properly time when to act and when to exercise restraint.

Akoja360:

Finance has always been a problem, but not to a determined entrepreneur whose desire to start up a business is so overwhelming.

I always advice prospective entrepreneurs, become an employee. Start up by working for money, then from there, establish a side business while still keeping your job.

Doing this gives you confidence when the time comes to venture fully. There are lots of jobs around to get money, look around you. If my younger brother of 14 yrs can hustle over N30k during his one month school holiday, then anyone can.

start making money with just #2,300 become your own boss

This post is all about how to make liquid soap
before I will like to bring out some points.
In this 21st century that we are now I found
out that nobody is ready to help when I was a
kid I use to hear that people do lend money
out for people to start business nowadays
nothing like that anymore as I said earlier
nobody is ready to help or to give you money
to start business of your choice.
In other no to deceive ourselves there is no
job anywhere even though if there is only few
people will get it the few people are those that
are related to the top people in the community
and one way in other connected to senators,
honourable, judges, commissioner, and so on.
During the 1980s 1990 1970s to get job is very
easy even ordinary security, nowadays to get
the ordinary security job then is not easy
nothing comes easy this days.
For example a lecturer told us during the time
Tai Solarin Of Education is still bearing (Osce)
Ogun State College Of Education when it is
breakfast there is bus that will convey
students to where they will take breakfast
same thing apply to lunch, and dinner.
We are still in the same country where all
that is not happening. The question is can we
also experience same thing? My answer is yes
we can and at the same time we cant.learn more here
