5 SUCCESS TIPS FOR A START-UP BUSINESS

TIP 5: F.O.C.U.S.

If being an entrepreneur or investor were easy, everyone would do it. According to Robert Kiyosaki to be successful as a business owner or investor, one must F.O.C.U.S.
F.O.C.U.S simply stands for:
Follow
One
Course of Action
Until
Successful

Being an entrepreneur is rewarding but it requires hard work, resilience and determination.  To be successful as an entrepreneur you need to FOCUS!  This days people want fast money and are unwilling to go through the process required for creating a sustainable business, they want immediate results.  The truth is that it takes a while before you begin to see positive cash flow from a business and as a result you will need to stick to one course of action, believe in it and trust that results will come.  In other to realise your dreams you have to master your craft. Mastering your craft does not come over night.  Mastering  your craft does not come from taking the path of least resistance, it comes from focusing on your set goal 24 hours a day, 7 days  a week
Its also important  to FOCUS because as entrepreneurs  there is the tendency to have a stream of unfinished projects. Also because of their visionary nature, entrepreneurs are quick to get bored and are soon looking for the next area to conquer.  Entrepreneurs have the tendency to move from one project to another without  tying up all ends, therefore it is important that as an entrepreneur you have a team that makes sure that all projects are kept afloat if not these projects will  die a natural cause. It is important to have FOCUS so that you learn to be accountable to your self and to your team.

This concept is true in its own essence but what happens to people or business who are not getting it right. I came across the history of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and this changed my perception - so instead of striving for perfection, I can build on my imperfections to become monumental. Read the story of the tower below and the learning points you can take from this story as an entrepreneur:  The Leaning Tower of  Pisa is the 3rd oldest structure in Italy and it is over 1000 years old. The Tower of Pisa was designed as a bell tower but its main purpose was to visually attract people to the cathedral in the town of Pisa. In the second year of its construction, the tower began to tilt - this was because the ground was too soft on one side to support the structure's weight. The construction of the tower was halted for almost a century because of war
