Mobile App Business – Do you have the skills to succeed?

As the economy in the UK and indeed overseas, begins to recover to levels seen before the financial crisis of 2008, many people are looking to take charge of their careers and enter the world of business and self-employment. The risk attached with starting your own business can be significant, as the realisation of no guaranteed income at the end of the month becomes a reality. However, self-employment also offers the potential to be very lucrative as hard work, effort and determination can be rewarded with potentially uncapped returns.

One of the most popular routes to self employment is purchasing a franchise/license to trade under an established brand and benefit from the core infrastructure in place, thus minimising your individual risk. With that said, the focus of todays blog is to highlight whether you potentially have the skills to succeed within the mobile app business.

• Determination and resilience

One of the key distinguishing factors between a successful entrepreneur and some who has failed in business is their level of determination and resilience. Running your own business is hard work, with many pitfalls and rejections along the way. Some of the questions you should ask yourself include – do I thrive in adversity? Do I enjoy a challenge? Can I stay motivated even when the results of my hard work are not going the right way? If the answer to these questions is an emphatic yes, you are well on the way to maximizing your chance of success.

• Communication

The key to forming any relationship, whether business or personal, is to have the ability to communicate with people from all walks of life. Building meaningful relationships will allow you to further your own business through sales, building new contacts and even offering exceptional customer service.

• Quick learner

As a business owner, having the ability to learn quickly and adapt is crucial to the longer-term success of your business. The business world and in particular technology, advances at such a pace that it is imperative that you have the presence of mind to learn new skills and concepts quickly.
