know you are at your least productive, but
just will not forgive yourself if you take the
night off (after-all, entrepreneurs go the
extra mile). Put on your shirt and go out and
test yourself. Get to a club, hotel lounge or
even international arrivals at the airport and
make a business contact or two. Test if you
can earn yourself a business card or two,
merely through blowing off steam.
Set yourself some goals; to get a number,
achieve 500 rejections, overcome approach
anxiety, have someone mistaken you
for someone they know or should knowanything really. Just as long as you have
valuable information about the owner of
your business to analyse in the morning.
Trust me it goes a long way into giving you
much needed market research about you
the person, the appeal of your product
or business or simply teaches you a skill or
two. Remember, Disney sells dreams, not
cartoons. Keep an audience drooling over
you for thirty seconds and they’ll reward you
for the next thirty years, in profit or valuable
skill.
One of the most valuable social settings that
teen entrepreneurs sneer at is a nursery or
just babysitting. Now be careful not to be
creepy and earn yourself a criminal record
for the worst reasons, but between you
and I, no one forces you to adapt or be
more interesting and real than a child. Their
innocence simply cannot allow them to
mask the truth for you if you are boring.
So between you and me, it’s not so much
the clubbing or not clubbing. It’s merely
the social setting you choose to display or
practice YOU, your brand. So lunch in fancy
hotels to clinch business deals may be more
valuable than your performance on the
dance floor. Save the cash and pay your
secretary an early bonus, trust me she does
more for your business.
