The most significant quality to possess to become a successful entrepreneur is to have a great business idea and an exceptional skill to manage your business finance. But is that all, or are there other attributes required to be featured within the top brackets of entrepreneurs in the world?

Well, there are several other qualities to possess that will make you a successful entrepreneur. It usually takes a lot more than having an interesting business idea and a lot of cash to throw around to become a successful entrepreneur. Take it in writing that you will never succeed in your venture to the desired level with only these two attributes.

August 21, 2017 by Ray L. 2 Comments

Every so often I travel to distant provinces to hike in scenic mountains or swim at beautiful beaches. Every time I travel, I make it a point to sample the local goods, like the coconut farmer selling coconut water, the merchant selling trinkets and tools handcrafted by his or her family, and the home-style small restaurant or eatery serving their province’s unique cuisine.

In most areas, there will always be that stray 7-eleven, big name fast food chain, or convenience store chain selling the same old cheap stuff you can find everywhere in the big cities like Manila, but I always remember to prioritize the local family-owned shops and restaurants. Big name stores are out to make a profit. The small businesses, on the other hand, were started by entrepreneurs to support their families AND showcase their unique crafts.

Ito’y ibang iba sa pagpupunyagi ng husto araw araw para lang payamanin ANG IBANG TAO. Bago ka magsimula ng sarili mong negosyo, eto ang tatlong bagay na kailangan mong pag-isipan para dumami ang pagkakataon mong magtagumpay.

A lot of us dream of starting our very own business. While life as an entrepreneur is known to be very difficult as your income is determined by your efforts and ingenuity, it does have excellent rewards if you can pull it off. The path of entrepreneurship allows us to work on our own time and escape the 9-5 grind, stop depending on an employer for our income, and it also brings us more opportunities to progress in life as, again, our income is based on effort and ingenuity instead of time spent on a desk. That’s quite different from working very hard every day to just to make a lot of money SOMEBODY ELSE. Before you can start your business however, there are three things you need to increase your chances of success.
