Focusing Strategies for Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs believe that they can do whatever it is they're doing better than anyone else.

They also differ from other people - not in their abilites, but in their mind set.  Thye have internatlized 2 fundamental commitments, by making 2 decisions;

1. To depend on their own abilities for their financial security because they realize that the only security is the security they create themselves.

2. To expect opportunity only by first creating value for others becausee they understand that this is the only unlimited source of economic opportunity.

The 4 Things You Should ALWAYS Do

Sales are the key of any entrepreneurial enterprise. To be a good sales person, there are 4 things that you should always do as written by David Cowper, the author of "Mega-Selling Secrets of a Master Salesman". Here they are;

1. ALWAYS be on time.
Showing up late ruins your relationship with a customer. This demonstrates a lack of respect for their time.

2. ALWAYS do what you said you would do.
This adds to you and your business' credibility. You want to make sure that your word respected, and by always doing what you say you will, this reputation will build.

3. ALWAYS finish what you start.
Your drive and determination are what will pull you through. You are not a quitter, and people will be amazed by what you can accomplish.

4. ALWAYS say 'please' and 'thank you'.
These simple words go an awful long way. Being polite is not always remembered, but being impolite always is.

By following these 4 'Always', sales and business will be easier.
