The Best Business Podcast: Ways To Find Success As An Entrepreneur

Brian Spielmann, President of Authentic Presence

Successful entrepreneurs come from all walks of life. If an entrepreneur wants to be successful, it is necessary for them to understand the key factors that they must possess and develop.

The entrepreneur's characteristics and drive are essential for a fruitful business. In this episode, we are going to focus on key factors to becoming a successful entrepreneur with Brian Spielmann.

Self-care is part of growing your business

Building a business is hard. Planning for your objectives, managing people, launching products, and leading your company comes with their own shares of ups and downs.

To create a successful business over time, you need to keep your mind, body, and soul sharp. But how do you do that?

As an entrepreneur, the best thing you can do for your business is to promote self-care. Self-care takes many forms for everyone. It is choosing behaviors that balance the effects of emotional and physical stressors such as exercising, meditation, yoga, eating healthy foods, or getting enough sleep. These practices help your body to relax and reduce stress.

Taking care of your well-being has been proven to help promote positive feelings at work. You will feel happy, focused, and more engaged in what you do.

Challenge Your Negative Thoughts

Dealing with negative thoughts and emotions are a natural part of being an entrepreneur. Frustration, anger, sadness, disappointment, fear, uncertainty and anxiety are the most common negative emotions that entrepreneurs face.

The choice to focus on the negative robs entrepreneurs of the opportunity to be at their best. Being self aware is an important ability every entrepreneur should have. It helps you to recognize and be aware of what's causing your negative thoughts and emotions. This ability allows you to step back, manage your thoughts and emotions, and enables you to react differently.

Be Intentional With Your Purpose

Being a business owner is much more than starting a business. A successful entrepreneur must have a strong and clear vision of the future for the company. When starting a business, it is unavoidable to experience challenges and setbacks, so you need to hold on to what you believe in. This comes from a strong sense of purpose.

When the business is secured to the entrepreneur’s purpose, it is more likely to thrive and progress because it is linked to the reason for its existence.

Entrepreneurs that are intentional with their purpose have a clear direction and vision, which becomes confidence. Having a sense of purpose is like having a compass that guides you, especially when you find yourself lost and confused.

Surround Yourself With The Right People

There are a lot of factors that can make entrepreneurs successful, primarily hard work, passion and constant self-improvement. However, one factor that’s mostly overlooked are the types of people entrepreneurs associate with. In pursuing success, you must surround yourself with people who will not only inspire you, but also challenge you. Find and focus on building relationships with people who can share their wins and positive vibes and help you do the same. The right circle of influence will challenge you to be your best self.

“If we surround ourselves with people who are successful, who are forward-moving, who are positive, who are focused on producing results, who support us, it will challenge us to be more and do more and share more. If you can surround yourself with people who will never let you settle for less than you can be, you have the greatest gift that anyone can hope for.” – Tony Robbins

Conclusion

Being an entrepreneur takes certain qualities to be successful. Part of an entrepreneur's success is their willingness to learn from mistakes, continue to grow, develop and persist until they reach their goal.
