1. BE FLEXIBLE. In the
early stages of business
your mind and body
should be nimble.
Obstacles as well as opportunities will present
themselves, despite having a plan, and you will
need to adjust or pivot
in order to do what’s
best for your business.
Being flexible is also an
attitude so it is best to
respond to unexpected
change with poise and
control.
2. BE RESOURCEFUL.
You don’t need to have
a ton of money to start
your business, validate
or market it. There are
numerous ways to execute on your business
by being resourceful, do
your research, understand your market, target
and competition and
don’t be afraid to speak
up and tap into your
networks to help you
achieve your goals.
3. BE YOUR OWN
CHEERLEADER. You
are not going to win
every deal, competition, or potential user/
customer and people
will not always believe
in your business, but do
not let that discourage
you. Celebrate your own
successes, losses and
milestones throughout your journey. By
maintaining a positive
outlook, stay focused
and your business will
continue to grow and
attract supporters.
