HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR


Being an entrepreneur means you are you own manager, as well as a manager of others. Your skills need to be extensive in order for you to be successful. An entrepreneur should be able to effectively manage people, a budget, operations and in some instances, investors. This requires someone with a multi-tasking work style who can plan for both the short- and long-term goals of his business.

Time Management

A successful entrepreneur must be able to make wise decisions about how he uses his time, continually evaluating and prioritizing tasks according to relevance and importance. This type of time management includes short- and long-range planning and the ability to participate in economic forecasting and market research. Entrepreneurs must also manage their professional life in conjunction with their family life, striking a balance between work and home.

Business Planning

A successful entrepreneur has management skills to accurately research his market and develop a comprehensive, multi-year business plan. This includes accounting for growth and development, taking on employees, financing operations and marketing and running or overseeing the day-to-day business functions. This type of business planning includes the ability to manage economic forecasting.

Employee Management

Successful entrepreneurs must have the managerial skills necessary to evaluate potential employees, hire and train workers and put them in appropriate positions in her company. This means being a good judge of character, finding people who will work well together, and ensuring that staffers are qualified for their jobs. Once employees are on the job, a successful entrepreneur needs to have the ability to manage teams, oversee conflict and dispute resolution and provide ongoing training to encourage high-quality performance.

Customer Management

Finding and keeping customers is one of the entrepreneur's most important management undertakings because revenue from customers keeps the business alive. Entrepreneurs must have the management ability to juggle clients, trouble-shoot problems, oversee customer interactions with employees and ensure that customers are satisfied. Successful entrepreneurs are also continually soliciting new business and developing new business networks.

Sales Management

An entrepreneur must be able to sell himself and his products and services. The ability to turn leads into sales and sales into ongoing business is a trait important to all entrepreneurs, especially start-ups. Even if you have an exceptional sales force representing your company, customers are likely making their investment in you as much as in your business.

Financial Management

Even if an entrepreneur hires an accountant or finance professional to track money and other assets, he is ultimately responsible for the financial management of his company. This takes on greater significance when a company is growing rapidly or bringing on investors. A successful entrepreneur has the management skills necessary to review books and financial statements to ensure that he is always aware of his business's finances.

Business Management

Successful entrepreneurs must have strong overall business management skills. This means understanding all aspects of how his business operates, including the regulatory requirements of his industry. Entrepreneurs must be knowledgeable about labor, employment and tax laws, and must stay abreast of industry and market trends. This will help him quickly change direction if economic conditions dictate.
