3. There is no balance between work-life if you want to be a
successful entrepreneur. The most significant choice you can
make is where you want to apply your time. Most successful
entrepreneurs spend a disproportionate time working on their
companyforthe simplefact thatthe places thatreceiveyourfull
devotion willdo better thanthe places that won't.You only have
so much time, energy and ability to focus and the decision of
where to focus your energy is important because everything

4. The best entrepreneurs can spend the whole day having
wonderful ideas, but if they don’t satisfy a large need of the
market, they won’t do any good. That is why most
entrepreneurs don't come up with great ideas, they look for
answers to resolve market needs. However, you also need to
have the desire to make any idea you have a reality, you need
the will to bring their idea into existence. With that you can

5. You don’t need to be the super adventurous entrepreneur that
go for every innovative idea that show up in front of you.
Contrary to general believe, successful entrepreneurs take
small, and most important, smart steps towards their goals.
They can be extremely careful and conservative with their
decisions, they study every step, and how it can affect the
wholeoftheirbusiness.

6. You can try to micromanage every single process and action of
your company, but then the business won’t grow more than
one person can handle successfully. Your company will get
trapped somewhere and won't be able to move very quickly.
Your employees are not going to take the time to mature their

7. Your actions will decide everything. Analyze what you want for
thefuture ofyour company,your community, yourcountry, and
trace goals to reach there. The best way to predict the future is
to create it, so stop thinking and get underway. Play to yours
and your company’s strengths, and turn every obstacle into an
asset. Use your creativity and innovation to get where you
want.

8. You should understand the process of marketing, but have a
team that will work on the marketing strategies. The most
important thing you should actually know is to whom you are
selling to, and then you determine what it is that will get them
tobuy.

9. You are not the one that will determine what a good product is,
the customer will. And is he don’t like your product, it's a bad
product, remember that the customer is always right and that
unpopular products are going to remain so. Try different
