Cover Story The Start of Something New By Karen McConnell-Jones
The launch of a new business can be looked at as the start of something new. Allowing you the opportunity to explore while walking on unfamiliar grounds, yet growing your purpose into a fruitful blessing to those who are in need of your provided services. As we know, most new businesses start from a place of something that we love to do, what we are gifted at, or have acquired a passion for. Now, taking this as a start of a new business is truly our first step toward becoming entrepreneurs. We usually invest our own money in getting the business started and up off the ground. We succeed if the business turns a profit, which now serves as our income, as it helps up to continue to grow our business efforts. A great entrepreneur must be able to effectively communicate, sell, focus, learn, and strategize. An ability to continuously learn is not just a key entrepreneurial skill, but also a very valuable life skill. Growing a business requires a sound strategy based on inherent business sense and skills. An entrepreneur is made by being committed to calculated risk-taking and perseverance against all odds. As an entrepreneur, it is likely that you will make mistakes along the way, however, success comes from learning from your own mistakes. If you can turn that idea into something that solves real-world problems, you are on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur. 30 Vision & Purpose Community Magazine
