Often when we arrive at that decision to start our own business it is with that intent to pocket a few extra dollars for ourselves and family. But just having a great idea is not enough. There are a few key ingredients that go into ensuring success in your small business. These are examined below;

1) Be passionate about what you are doing.

Even if you are not fully knowledgeable about what you are doing your passion will likely get you over the bar. Your knowledge will increase. Where your heart goes your body will follow so a little passion and enthusiasm will go a long way to ensuring your success.

2) Set achievable goals and work towards them.

The most critical aspect of your successes and achievements is your ability to measure them. Unless you have set goals how will you know if you are growing? Every entrepreneur needs to have a long-term vision for where he wants his/her business to go. Tied to that long-term vision are a series of smaller goals. This is what holds your business together on upon which your success is built. Motivation is a key benefit that manifests itself in your accomplishments and as you go from victory to victory you will continue to build momentum and snowball into a pillar of entrepreneurial success. This is what tells you that you are doing things right.

3) Humble yourself, be willing to learn

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to go about your business with a "know it all" attitude. Be open-minded and seek counsel where necessary. Read, network and submit yourself to forums or interest groups in your field. As you do you might be surprised that new ideas take root because of this kind of exposure. Be willing to share your experiences and knowledge and others will reciprocate in like manner. Don't be too concerned with competing with your colleagues. Just do what you know is right and you will get your just rewards.

4) Learn from the mistakes of others, you don't have to repeat them all over again.

I can guarantee that you will make some mistakes of your own at some stage in your new venture regardless how knowledgeable you are, and you may have to pay for them. What is certain also is that some have already been made for you. You won't have to pay for those. It is important that you get as much information as you can about what you are doing. Do your research, ask questions and learn, learn, learn. Almost anything you can think of as a viable business idea has been thought of already. What happens after is what you need to be concerned with. Did the venture fail? Why? Certainly you don't want to make that same mistake again. How successful is it, and what is the most profitable line? How long have they been in operation? This does not mean you will go out there and mirror what the other guy is doing but at least you will get a good appreciation and insight in terms of the direction you should or should not be heading.

5) Don't try to reinvent the wheel.

Learn from the mistakes of others yes but learn from their victories also and capitalize on them. Do not go out trying to recreate what has already been done. There are some situations that will debunk this notion especially where copyright infringement and such like are concerned. But if you are looking for quality images for your site for example you certainly don't have to go snap them yourself there are enough resources online you can choose from. You may have to pay a small fee in some cases but you will have to weigh the pros and cons before making your decision. In the end you may very well find it save you some valuable time and money.

6) Be patient but stay hungry!

Time is the one currency that has to be spent to ensure success at whatever you do. It is inevitable and we all know this. But we sometimes get ahead of ourselves in expecting unreasonable results in little time. We need to curb our enthusiasm otherwise we can end up frustrating ourselves. Everything takes time and in business this is no different. While we need to continue to be positive we have to set reasonable goals and be patient as we grow and achieve them.
