Guide to Starting Out in Entrepreneurship – Part 2 Consistent Actions
Rebecca Appleton • 24 January 2020
Entrepreneurship is an attractive and sought-after career path and lifestyle.
It’s a difficult way of life though if you don’t have the right mindset and support networks. That’s one of the reasons we designed our Business-in-a-Box solution. To help ambitious entrepreneurs create their own businesses and create a flexible, successful and in control lifestyle for themselves.
Having the right tools for the job will always be a big contribute to success but you also need the minerals. The DNA, the character and of course as we’ve said, the right mindset. In part one of our guide to starting out in entrepreneurship we focussed on the daunting task of taking your first steps.
Today, we’ve taking it a step forward and talking about how you can go about executing your master plan day by day, week by week and beyond.
Consistent Actions and Planning
You’ll often hear us refer to entrepreneurship as a lifestyle or a way of thinking and we do that intentionally. It’s more than just a job when it comes to being your own boss and being responsible for your own drive, motivation and ultimately your work output. This is where many budding new entrepreneurs get a little stuck.
When you make your own living there aren’t really any rules. You don’t have a set place of work or standard hours you’re expected to attend. In many cases within entrepreneurship you won’t have anyone there to tell you what you should be doing or to set you targets. You are responsible for yourself and your own success now, so you need to start thinking differently.
Many will fall into the trap of having short sprints of high capacity working following a newfound inspiration or a burst of passion. These can also come after a period of success. You can’t rely on these to get you through. The key to making progress is to plan it, track it and consistently deliver against it.
It’s not the first time we’ve preached about the power of planning. Many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs advise that planning to the degree of creating lists upon lists of tasks is the way they get things done. We’re also not talking about a monthly checklist, not even weekly, we’re talking a daily plan of attack for each and every working day.
After all that’s what consistency is isn’t it?
By setting yourself a plan or list of items or tasks you want to accomplish or tackle that day, you are consistently achieving something, even if it’s just one thing, every single day. That’s not to say you won’t have days where you achieve more or you won’t have a burst of activity from time to time, it’s simply ensuring you are making sure your time counts and no day passes without progress.
Our Business-In-A-Box package is a great way to get started on your entrepreneurial path to help you put this mindset into action. Our extensive training academy and ongoing support provides guidance and encouragement, and we’re here to help you achieve your entrepreneurship goals every step of the way.
