If you are planning to quit your job because you are willing start a business of your own then thats the best thing that can ever happen. But when you will start doing these things you will face a lot of difficulties and hardship. These things will convert all your beliefs into what you love or it might also turn you around into another direction altogether.

The journey of becoming a successful entrepreneur is not as easy as it seems. It takes a lot efforts and courage to deal with day to day worries and a huge amount of grit. And finally one reaches to a point where one can sit back, relax and enjoy. But to get there takes huge efforts, people around you might discourage or criticise you. So here are a few things one can do to be a successful entrepreneur.

You will somehow learn to believe in yourself and your business :-

The time you will learn to trust in yourself is the time when you are up against the world and passing through a difficult phase. That is the time when you finally realise that you have to work hard for self and no one else would be their for you. This phase will definitely teach you to believe in yourself and your product in order to excel in what you are doing.

Eventually you will end up being a Leader:-

If you are planning to run your own business, you have to build a team, as you are not going to do everything on your own for lifetime. Eventually when you will start scouting for people you will simultaneously develop the managerial skills required for the business. If you have never managed people this would be a great opportunity for you to develop those management skills.

You will push yourself to the edge:-

As you want everything going good in your business you will have to work hard day and night and then you will see things going around the way you had expected. But if they don’t look like expected, don’t lose hope and continue trying harder. You would push yourself probably until the edge. Just keep on trying and it’s not a big deal if you push yourself as much as you can.

You will Seldom have time for leisure:-

Leisure would be a privilege when you will only be able to afford once in a while and to very rarely. It’s obvious that when you have lot of work to do you won’t have time to do anything else. But make sure you take out time to refresh your mind and body.

You will know where to source what:-

No matter what your business is all about you should take a check on all the sources. By the end you will know a number of sources or the vendors and their names.

You’ll learn some good networking skills:-

This is really necessary if you are planning to expand your business or reach a certain target. Knowing the correct people to deal with and if you are good at networking, less than half of your goal is already accomplished.

You will learn the actual meaning of ‘Jugad’:-

Jugad is the ability to make things done from the back door and in an easier way out. As an entrepreneur if you learn how to ‘Jugad’ then half of your things will be done on time and in an easier way. Let it be the paperwork of the company which is needed to be done or may it be getting your company registered. Jugad is the best and the easiest way out.

You will constantly be underworked of overpaid:-

That probably true, as you yourself will do the job of an HR, the manager, the Director and the CEO and the sales and marketeer, all rolled into one. There would be times when you will also be your own peon and you will also have to make your own tea.

You will be talking about your plan alot:-

Once you have decided that the entrepreneurship is the right way to go, you will be asked to explain plan for your business a lot. Yes, you have to get used to the word business model, as this would be your language for several initial years after starting up. At the end you might just seem like a robot or you’ll be sick and tired of your stuff.

A lot of people in your life would consider it just a phase:-

When you speak about your future endeavours people would not take you seriously they will just think that it’s a phase. They wont believe that you are going to quit a well cushioned job and start up with a scratch.
