Dear Entrepreneur,
Here are five life hacks that have worked for me, and may work for you too:
1. Don’t waste time dwelling on your ideas. Validate them, and then execute them. Fail quickly, learn quickly, and then start all over until you get it right.
2. It’s not all about the money. Yeah, making money is a huge part of success for your business, but what’s also important is the value you’re adding to people’s lives.
3. Create something of value, and dream big. Yeah, this brings me back to my last point. Make sure you create something people want and will use, and don’t just build a lifestyle business. Build something that will grow exponentially into something bigger than just you.
4. Learn from your mistakes. It’s okay to fail or make mistakes, as long as you learn from it, and don’t repeat it again. Make mistakes, admit them quickly, learn from them, and avoid them.
5. Believe in yourself. Be your number one cheerleader. Trust in your abilities, but don’t be overly confident. Humble yourself, and learn from others. But most importantly, believe you are capable of achieving anything you put your mind to. Success begins in the head.
With love,
Chidi
