If you're a budding entrepreneur, considering the entrepreneur
lifestyle, it is important to take a look at a typical day, and separate
out the fantasy from the reality.
Spend the day with an experienced entrepreneur and you'll likely see someone who's energetic, organized and excited to get up in the morning! But don't expect them to wake up to an unstructured day. That's a luxury (or waste) they can't afford. The seasoned entrepreneur understands that an organized, well-planned day is an absolute necessity, to take them one step closer to their goals and one step closer to success. Another words, never underestimate the power of a schedule.
Maintain A Set Schedule
Someone who is self-employed loves to talk about the lack of a schedule. But entrepreneurs know that's a fool's fantasy. They know that running a business requires a schedule. Otherwise, you risk distractions and procrastination. Two powerful game stoppers always lurking in the background.
When you take a look at an entrepreneur's day planner, you find that they have a set time to get up each morning, followed by specific times for planning, research, meetings and daily tasks. Surprised? Yes, in order to be successful, each component of the real entrepreneur lifestyle must be pre-planned.
Budding entrepreneurs, it's important to note that successful entrepreneurs even schedule playtime, time to just sit back and relax. This ensures they don't become too stressed or over-worked, leading to burn out, which ultimately can cause your business to die a slow death.
Remain Optimistic
Realize from the beginning, that any entrepreneur will experience setbacks at some point. Perhaps a particular marketing strategy won't pan out exactly as planned, or your business loan might not be initially approved.
But, instead of giving up, or having a doom and gloom outlook, choose to remain optimistic. Commit to find a way through, or around, the setback. Look at every task as another step up the ladder, with no chance of a backward step allowed.
By making an effort to remain optimistic throughout the day, you will go to bed with a sense of accomplishment, whether the accomplishment has been big or small. It's this choice of determined optimism that serves to drive you, the budding entrepreneur on, as you build your business and your own daily entrepreneur lifestyle.
Create Time For Work And Play
Remember, no entrepreneur works 24/7. You must respect the importance of balance. Properly plan and schedule your time so some tasks are even completed by others, without requiring your own intervention. Know that play time is as important as work in order to keep the creative juices flowing.
Work is definitely a focus, but without time for friends, family or even yourself, the work just isn't worth it. The purpose of owning your own business is to have time to do the things you love, right? Along with enjoying seeing your idea take off...
It All Comes Down To You
While this may sound lonely, entrepreneurs know that the only way they are going to create and build their own business is by working towards it themselves, giving it everything they've got. Don't expect anyone else to create the heart and soul of your business for you. As a budding entrepreneur, it is up to you to develop a productive entrepreneur lifestyle that will solidly support the framework of your business, and allow you to reach your goals.
This doesn't mean you don't delegate, just that you take full responsibility for leading and overseeing the tasks at hand. Be sure to cultivate relationships with seasoned entrepreneurs so they can help guide you, and listen closely to their advice. If you need help, ask for it, or pay professionals to oversee admin for you. Don't be afraid to ask a spouse or family member to assist with simple tasks related to your business. Either way, know that you are ultimately responsible for your business. The future of your business ultimately lies in your own hands, even when others are involved.
