Want to make big waves in the world of business?

It’s easy to think that entrepreneurs are moulded from a different clay to the rest of us. But the truth is that they’re humans just like me and you. The only difference is that they do things in a different way.

The good news? By adopting their habits, you can improve your own chances of being successful.

In his book “Ultimate Power”, Tony Robbins wrote about the importance of modelling. This means that if we want to be successful in any area of our lives, we should pick out someone who’s already enjoyed success in this area and model ourselves on them. We need to pick up their habits, learn their behaviours, and do the things they’ve done.

This applies especially to the world of entrepreneurship.

Let’s take a look at 3 things successful entrepreneurs do differently.

You’ve got a problem. I’ve got a problem.

Your neighbour has a problem. Their mum has a problem.

Everyone has problems!

Entrepreneurs are not focused on the problem, they’re focused on the solution.

The essence of entrepreneurship is uncovering a problem (often a problem we don’t even know exists), before solving it. That’s it!

Entrepreneurs don’t dwell on problems. In fact, they don’t see problems as problems at all. They see them as opportunities. And they are constantly finding and testing their solutions.

The great investor Warren Buffet once said – “The best investment we can ever make is not in Coca Cola or whatever other huge corporation you can think of, it’s in ourselves.”

Not enough people invest in themselves and their skill set. They would rather spend their Friday nights at the bar, in the club, or playing video games.

Not successful entrepreneurs though. Rather than waking up on a Saturday morning with the hangover from Hell, they’d rather wake up feeling refreshed and ready to make more investments in themselves.

While everyone else is partying, they’re learning, testing, practising and improving. Entrepreneurs have a laser-focus on success, and they know that the key to success is knowledge and learning.

Without relevant knowledge, there can be no success!

Entrepreneurs have an excellent offence. Why? Because they constantly play to their strengths. Sure, they have weaknesses. Who doesn’t? But they make sure those soft spots don’t handicap them. How? By outsourcing them!

Entrepreneurs concentrate on their strengths, and make sure their weaknesses don’t sink their ship. They let someone extremely qualified take care of that aspect of their business for them. You can’t do it all alone!
