20 Things To Learn as an Entrepreneur

On her last day at Consorte Media, Entrepreneur Alicia Morga wrote an email to herself listing the twenty things she's learned as an entrepreneur. Although just a personal expression of what she has learned, a lot of this list is relevant to your entrepreneurial journey. 

1.    It’s rare when someone is their word; treasure it in others, cultivate it in yourself
2.    Call AND email – the squeaky wheel does get the grease
3.    Hold yourself to a standard of behavior and business
4.    Pay attention to detail
5.    It truly is win/win – don’t work with folks who think about it any other way
6.    Focus
7.    Don’t bang your head against the wall – go with what works, but that doesn’t mean you don’t continue to innovate
8.    Be kind but firm
9.    Adopt the Cindy Crawford motto and never point out your flaws but do admit to your mistakes
10.    FEAR:  False Expectations Appearing Real
11.    You always have a choice
12.    People will fight you on everything – stick to your guns
13.    Perception is reality - you’re always creating an impression
14.    Everything is a negotiation, even if you don’t think it is
15.    People hear what they want to and usually only remember the negative
16.    Generosity looks good on
17.    Have the difficult conversations – they’re always worth it
18.    It goes by fast and your health is the most important thing - take care of it/make it a priority
19.    Those old business axioms are true, e.g., take time to hire and be fast to fire
20.    The path to hell really is paved with good intentions

Ready to jump into entrepreneurship?  You don’t have to create a business to be an entrepreneur.  You only have to realise that everything you ever wanted is just beyond your comfort zone.
