.When you start a business, the first thing you need to do is to change your mindset and embrace the fact that you’re now an entrepreneur! Jessica Zambarano, founder of coarching and personal assistance business Personal Assist U, shared very helpful insights in an interview with WomenHomeBusiness.com
1. Embrace entrepreneurship! If you are thinking of going out on your own or if you have just made the big decision to be “self-employed” don’t be afraid to think of yourself as and act like an entrepreneur. It’s the only way to go! Be sure to look at the bigger picture, make connections, constantly be on the lookout for learning opportunities and BE CONFIDENT in yourself!
2.Know yourself. Knowing yourself will allow you to build a business that is true to who you are, work with clients that are on the same page as you and create a business model that is true to your values.
3.Take good care of yourself. Know your limitations, ask for help when you need it and take time off BEFORE you get burned out. This will help you to be successful in the long run. No one can make important decisions and complete important tasks when they don’t have the energy to get out of bed in the morning.
Entrepreneurship is an attitude. It requires you to sacrifice a lot to pursue the business interests. Previously, companies used to focus on attracting employees, then it shifted to efficient management and later leadership. Today businesses, have evolved and companies are largely focusing on entrepreneurship as a tool to enhance value in a large organization.
