Support as an Entrepreneur

Support as an Entrepreneur 

As a new entrepreneur just starting out, the task can become a little intimidating.  What I have learned is that you have to have almost pit bull tenacity in order to survive.  You MUST have a passion for what you're doing because without it, you will surely give up!  There are many different types of businesses that individuals venture out on from the brick & mortar to the social media highway, no matter which one that you choose there is always hard work that must go into your dream.  I've also learned that the passion for this thing is what will keep you going when you have the few moments when you feel like giving up!

I have recently started on the journey and have found that frustration can try to grip you, especially when you don't see things taking off as you have written them down in your plans and may become discouraged.  But I say...Don't Every Give Up!!  Remember, this is your dream and no one will take care of it, nurture it or support it like you will so you must be fully vested in your business.  Learn your craft by immersing yourself in it, whether you have a mentor, a personal business model that you are following or someone else that is in a field that is similar to yours and you see that they are succeeding.  There are certain things that I believe that every business, regardless if you're a small business, author, speaker etc., there are just certain things you need to have.

A)  Strong & Positive Customer Service

B)  Excellence in ALL that you do!

C)  Integrity

D)  Always find a way to give back to your supporters

E)  Very strong work ethic!

F)  Ability to accept positive feedback or criticism

For all of those Entrepreneurs out there, what did you find to be some of the most helpful tips to advance your business or career?  What advice would you give a newbie into an industry?  Are there any specific business models that you follow?  All responses are welcome!
