WATCH YOUR CASH FLOW
When you start a business, money may be tight. It is not unusual
for you to be unable to draw a salary from the business for a
considerable amount of time or at least until things stabilise
So it’s a good idea for you to have put enough money aside to
tide you over for at least a year before you start the business
and you must be disciplined with whatever money you have
coming in.

SYSTEMS ARE KEY!
One important thing to note is that very early on, you must put
systems
in place to ensure that your business is not dependant on your
physical
presence in an office for it to succeed.
If it is, I would suggest that you have not created a business- you
have created a job- the very thing that you were probably trying to
escape from when you started the business in the first place!

Successful entrepreneurs have certain
character traits that you must develop if
you want to succeed in business. One of
them is the ability to work hard.
6. DEVELOP A MIND-SET FOR SUCCESS
There is a saying that “if a man says that he can or if he says that he can’t, both
times, he’s right! The Bible puts it in a similar way “whatsoever a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he!”
It is extremely important that you believe in yourself and your ability to succeed
in business, because your belief system impacts everything you do and indeed
the way you do it.
