2. Mindset of the Ultimate Entrepreneur

Below you have a list of the characteristics that are common among famous entrepreneurs and successful people in general. It is based on my many years of observations, analyses and findings as well as study-learnt knowledge about personal and professional success. The structure of the list is inspired by the book "How Winners Win" by my idol within management and personal success, John Evan-Jones. 

Therein he explains the key strategies, common among highly successful people. Thus I have applied my own deep understanding of these specific points, thereby contributing with my findings and specific details for the sake of your deep understanding and easy adoptation of the traits of successful entrepreneurs. In fact a unique proposition, not to find elsewhere. 

Strategy 13 as well as strategy 5 are some of my completely unique contributions to becoming a successful, free and happy entrepreneur. In my opinion these 2 strategies encompass the essential spirit and basic source of power, that makes achieving success a funny game and possible, as opposed to just hard work and mere luck.

Famous Entrepreneurs Key Strategies

1. Make clear and precise goals.

   This is in reality a strategy for deciding what you want to do with your life, such as becoming an Internet entrepreneur, and then approach this destination step by step achieving incremental targets. Research shows that people setting goals achieve 30-40% more than those who don't. 
   

   The strategy is to set deadlines for your main goal and the smaller targets. So make a list like this:

1. I have achieved my main goal to be a successful Internet entrepreneur the 1. July 200x

2. My target A is to have made immense progress on the 7. Maj 200x within the following areas.

3. My short term goal, what I do to get started, is....f.ex to make a phone call that makes the snowball roll.

2. Combine ambition with conviction
   

   Are you convinced that you can realize your ambition?
   
   Test whether your ambition is in alignment with your convictions by assessing the degree to which you believe in your capability to accomplish it. Apply a scale of 1-10, 10 meaning that you would sacrifice everything to achieve that goal. 5 or less means it's no ambition.
   
   Famous Entrepreneurs always are strongly determined to reach their goals and willing to do the sacrifices it takes, in turn achieving bigger advantages.

3. Develop a time - and goal strategy
   

   This strategy is more appropriate for the modern information society of today than the traditional time management developed for the industrial society.
   
   It encompasses to emphasize the chosen goals and plan your day accordingly. When children need to be looked after this is important but when not, prioritize your chosen goal. Goal oriented action is an essential thing. The reason why so many waste their time is that they don't know where they are going.
   
   On the contrary the famous entrepreneurs know how to liberate time in order to focus on the essential things and get them done effectively. This owes to the learned ability to focus on one's true goals and not waste time on too many other things. Benjamin Franklin and other successful followers trained this skill in order to not waste time on unnecessary things not contributing to achieving their goals.
   
   I recommend cultivating a good habit of balancing duties with pleasure, of which many duties can become equal to pleasure if one takes control over one's life. In fact famous entrepreneurs were and are passioned about what they do which often becomes a lifestyle instead of a duty.
   
   Anyone can turn their passion into their profession using the Internet in combination with the right skills and habits. 

4. Develop enthusiasm
   

   Enthusiasm is the biggest seller in the world and everyone sells something, being aware of it or not. However you have to sell it to yourself first. If you are not excited about yourself and what you do, then who is? This sums up as....

   ---

   If you love what you are doing - you are enthusiastic.
   If you don't love it - you are not enthusiastic.

   ---

   The biggest reason for lack of enthusiasm is that there is a conflict between your goal and inner conviction.
   
   Make it a habbit to spread good news, not the negative kind usually emitted through the medias.
   
   To a succesful Internet entrepreneur this implies radiating a true desire to act as a web content provider of quality information and solutions.
   
   This is obtained by focusing on the visitors needs, not your own needs.  Bruce Lee expressed it like this: 
   
   

   "Don't focus on winning, focus on fighting"

5. Develop determination and energy
   

   Learning to develop determination and energy is in fact one of the most important of the 12 key strategies of famous entrepreneurs. Therefore an entire web page has been dedicated to this point.

• are aware of their goals

• have a strategy 

• are determined to achieve their goals

• have got the energy, motivation and faith that will get them there

6. Develop empathy 
   

   Understanding other people, what moves them and talking their language is an important part of the road to building trust. This in turn is essential for establishing a thriving company with customers coming back for more.
   
   Having lived abroad in very different parts of the world I have experienced the importance of adapting to cultures and what is most important: To be interested in knowing people and what goes on.
   
   

7. Imitate role models
   

   Another thing that characterizes a successful famous entrepreneurs is that at some point in life they've all had some idols or role models which they copied. 
   
   In fact learning by copying and doing is an unbeaten technique applied by children but however forgotten by most adults.

8. Communicate optimally

   Do you communicate optimally with others as well as with yourself? Optimize this essential skill in order to pass on your ideas in the most effective way and maintain control over yourself, your life and plans.

9. Determine what needs to be changed and do what it takes to accomplish the change
   

   Do you investigate what certain tasks require and ask yourself whether you are prepared to do what it takes? If you are not prepared to try and risk anything you will surely not gain anything. Even if you start doing something you probably will abandon your plans quickly.

10. Deal with rejection and defeat

    Are you terrified from the idea of failure and people counteracting your efforts? Just know that having to face this obstacle of peoples' arrogant judgments was part of the road to success taken by even the biggest geniuses. Their difference from other people was that they chose to believe in themselves instead of emphasizing the opinions of other people.
    
    So don't abandon your plans just because others judge you, no matter how painful it may feel. One day you will be the one to laugh should you encounter the same individuals. Either they will then approve of your talent or not and thereby show that they were only judgmental fools lacking to realize their limits and to improve.

11. Adapt and be perseverant
    

    Probably the most important skill or ability of a successful Internet entrepreneur is that of changing the strategy and continue, despite of encountering problems along the road towards the goal. 
    
    It is essential to see the small problems as important steps to overcome and learn from. Take the necessary time to adjust your web marketing strategy and then continue. Don't insist on repeating the same mistakes again and again. Change what doesn't work.
    
    There is always an explanation to not achieving success and mostly that explanation is yourself. Don't wait for circumstances to obey your wish, bend your brain to find the best shortcut to success. Had we been talking about a personal relationship it would go: "Don't try to change your partner. Change or improve yourself and be patient."

12. Be creative
    

    Especially to think and solve problems in a creative way is what counts in favor of success.

13. Be a Happy Entrepreneur
    

    This important point belongs to the most essential ones and is related to item 5: Develop Determination and energy. Read how to achieve happiness and success, and how affordable web site marketing lets you succeed as an Internet entrepreneur.
