Successful Entrepreneur Traits - Learn and Implement Something New Every Day

As an aspiring entrepreneur I was told by a coach of mine that if I wanted to grow in maturity as a business person, I would have to step out and do something every day that was outside of my comfort zone.
We all have things that we are afraid to do or don’t know what we are doing because we haven’t done it before. In order to overcome the fear or to learn the process, it is vital that we step out and try something new each and every day. On tasks such as building a website that are monumental to a beginner, we should take it one bite at a time and dive into a different segment until we learn how to do the whole thing. Once we have done it once, it won’t seem like an unconquerable feet any more.
This is true in anything new that we do. Whether a new home business or starting a blog or just meeting new people in person or on the phone. It is going to feel uncomfortable at first but once we get our feet wet, it won’t seem so difficult or so scary. An important part of my development on these areas is the entrepreneur development program that I participate in. When I face something that seems like a giant, there are people there to help me overcome the ant syndrome and to take the challenge like a warier.
I encourage you all to seek out a good entrepreneur coach to help you to get through the roadblocks and to overcome every obstacle that would otherwise keep you from being successful. Learn something new every day and challenge yourself to do something every day that stretches your ability and comfort level.

Successful Entrepreneur Traits - Grow Every Day

Have you ever thought to yourself ‘There is too much to learn… I’ll never be able to do this’? If you have, I want to encourage you to never give up.

It seems like others are able to understand the process of what to do, but I just don’t get it. Have you had those thoughts? I have. Too many times. But I want to share something with you to encourage you.

Everyone else who knows what they are doing had a time when they started and did not know what to do either. The reason that they are doing very well now is that they kept studying the industry and learning from others and from trial and error what works. They had the true entrepreneurial spirit. They did not give up. Instead, they kept reading and studying every day until they began to understand things enough so they knew exactly what it was they had to do every day.

I had these same questions. But someone told me that if I would study every day and listen to others teaching, I too would get to the place where I would be knowledgeable enough to be very successful. That is exactly what is happening. Every day I learn something new and now am an entrepreneur on the road to building wealth successfully. I know that you also will become a successful entrepreneur if you make a point to learn more every day.

Successful Entrepreneur Traits- Narrowing Your Focus

It’s difficult to know how to make money from home online for beginners. We search for something that will help us to make at least some money starting right away. Some do and some don’t. So in our desperation to make the money that we needed last week, we keep searching for the magic opportunity that will keep us afloat financially. Every one of finds out that there is no magic opportunity for us to make money from home using the internet.

But I keep reading the claims that so and so made over six figures last year. I want to do that too so bad that I can’t give up. I keep trying and trying refusing to give up. Which opportunity is right for me? Will I be able to succeed? Many people are asking themselves that question right now. If this is where you are at right now, please don’t give up. You can and will be successful if you persist.

Let me share what I’ve learned about finding something that works for me; something that will make me some money. There are many good opportunities selling great products on the internet using direct marketing and also through networking programs. Often times, we will check out several programs to find out which one will work the best only to find out that none of them are working. We get too spread out that we can’t give the proper attention to any of the business opportunities that we are checking out and it looks as if none of them is any good.

I have been in this scenario and thanks to the entrepreneur development program that have been a part of, I received help to realize that I had to narrow my focus and work on mastering one thing first before going on the the next. I learned that the best system for any of us is the one that we are focused on. Learn the system. Then learn some advertising strategies. Then learn how to communicate to your prospects and customers. It will take some time, but if we are persistent and keep developing our skills, we will succeed! That is what those who are entrepreneurs making six figures did.

If you don’t know what is a solid business opportunity to focus on, then find someone who is successful and ask them to help you. Develop the traits of a successful entrepreneur by being mentored by one or more of them. I recommend this mentoring program – buildingwealthsuccessfully.com .

Yes, it is difficult for a beginner to know how to make money working from home online, but you too can be among the successful ones if… you don’t give up.

Successful Entrepreneur Traits- Conquering Your Day



The 21 Day Challenge has truly been a valuable challenge for me. I have realized that there are traits that every aspiring entrepreneur must aquire. We are busy people doing a lot of things so our day can get away from us without getting some of the important items accomplished. After setting my goals and pinpointing what is the most important things that I want to accomplish, I have had to take a look at my day. I only have so many hours to work with. How am I spending my time? What am I getting accomplished during my wakened hours. Does it work toward the fulfillment of my goal? Am I neglecting other important things that need to be taken care of?



I realized that there were things that I was doing that were being time robbers. Spending too much time looking through emails and reading them was one of them. I have now given myself five (5) minutes to look through my emails. I was watching videos and listening to recordings; many times to learn what others are doing to be successful. I have now realized that even though I might learn something helpful, if it keeps me from completing necessary work that my business requires or spending some time with my family, then it has to go.



Prior to this challenge, I got by with wasting valuable time and no one else knew…so I thought. Others knew because my business wasn’t growing like it should. I wasn’t making sales which translates into dollars of income which is the real reason I am involved in free enterprise business in the first place. Even if I don’t reach my 21 day goal, I will have attained something more valuable than my goal. I have learned much about



1. Fine tuning my goals- breaking them down into bite sized chunks
2. Planning my day- making the most of every hour
3. Cleaning house- getting rid of less important things that rob me of time
4. The importance of having a coach or someone to be held responsible



Building wealth successfully is my mission, now, so that I can have the financial freedom and time freedom so that I can do those things which I am very passionate about accomplishing. If you are wanting to develop as a mature entrepreneur and are looking for a professional coach and mentor to help you, check this out. Click here. I’m sure glad that I did
