It is always more difficult to try to accomplish something on your own rather than getting assistance from others. And that is never truer than with entrepreneurs.
For instance, in the world of franchising, you can sift through the over 3000 choices of franchise opportunities yourself, or you can connect with a franchise consultant, such as Franchise Matchmakers, and let them guide you through the process.
So, in order to help you along your entrepreneurial journey, we have gathered some words of wisdom from successful entrepreneurs. Enjoy these tips for entrepreneurs from entrepreneurs!
Be Your Own Biggest Critic
Starting a company can be like starting a marriage. Everyone starts out optimistic and starry-eyed, but eventually, you’re left with a reality that is either good or bad depending on the choices you made as you got started.
I would really recommend taking your time and challenging your assumptions to be sure this is a rock-solid idea before you are fully committed. – Ashley Merrill, Lunya
Your Time Is Limited
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. – Steve Jobs
Surround Yourself with Positive People
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great. – Mark Twain
Mistakes Happen
The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake- you can’t learn anything from being perfect. – Adam Osborne
You Will Fail
The hardest part about being an entrepreneur is that you’ll fail ten times for every success. – Adam Horwitz
Just Start
Dream big. Start small. But most of all, start. – Simon Sinek
Think Big
Think big and don’t listen to people who tell you it can’t be done. Life’s too short to think small. – Timothy Ferriss
More Than a Title
Being an entrepreneur isn’t just a job title, and it isn’t just about starting a company. It’s a state of mind. It’s about seeing connections others can’t, seizing opportunities others won’t, and forging new directions that others haven’t. – Tory Burch
Don’t Stop Trying
Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them, and start again. – Richard Branson
Just One More Step
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure. – Napoleon Hill
