Anyone can have an opportunity, if not many opportunities, to make a decent living, help charities and communities without investing a lot of cash or owning a factory or being born of privilege.
There are at least First 7 Secrets that will help you and others to do well, generate a decent income and help the community around you or even aim higher.
1) Read:
There is abundance of knowledge there nowadays for free or relatively for less money and effort. You don’t have to be a professor or go to Cambridge or Harvard to get all the knowledge of the world. You can easily go to the library, read books, newspapers, periodicals and articles. You may also go to the internet, read blogs, learn from other entrepreneurs, subscribe to podcasts on iTunes. Do whatever you can to learn more.
2) Focus:
A lot of people, especially the younger generation want to do everything. There is hardly enough time today to do 10, 20, 35 multiple different businesses. Undoubtedly, you may have 10, 20 or even 30 or more different ideas. But pick One. One key to success to those multimillionaires is concentration and focus. If it works for him, why doesn’t it work for you?
3) Solve a problem:
You have to help other people by not only solving their problems but also meeting their needs. If you are not solving a problem, why do people pay for you or give you their money?
4) Easy/affordable solution:
The solution needs to be easy to use or affordable. If the solution is comparably expensive or difficult to use it, who is going to pay for it or use it? No one or very few.
Most people, if not many, are somehow lazy and are looking for convenience these days.
5) Learning:
Learn from your mistakes
In business, you can make mistakes and sometimes a lot of them. Everyone does. And that is fine. If you don’t make mistakes, something might be wrong with you. When you are making these mistakes, you need to track them down and try to avoid making them over and over again.
If you make 30 mistakes and you learn from each one of them, within due course you will know Not-what-to-do. Avoiding doing wrong things will eventually lead to doing right things.
6) Competitors
You have competitors. You may go and search for articles and interviews relating to businesses of your competitors. You will read about their statistics, numbers, their mistakes and secrets that help them grow their businesses. When you read, listen, learn and do what they do, you can take what they do to be relatively successful and replicate that into your own business.
7) Execute fast.
Speed and execution is preferred over perfection. Move today rather than leave for next week or next year. Avoid prognostication.
Follow those First 7 Secrets and you too can do really well and help the community around you.
