To the Young Entrepreneurs… #AskKirubi

Successful enterprises don’t just happen and they never thrive in isolation. Our businesses do not operate in a vacuum; they operate in an ever changing environment that is affected by several internal and external factors. Learning and understanding your business sphere is one of key factors to consider as you run an enterprise.

Challenges will be there, but to prosper in business, you’ll have to stay focused. You must FOCUS intensely on what you are good at and later when the time comes, you spread your wings. Successful entrepreneurs always give 100% of their efforts to everything they do. If you know you are giving your best effort, you’ll never have any reason for regrets.

Endeavor to have more than one source of income and broaden your investments so that you can have consistent cash flow. Be a jack of all trades but a master of one.

Have confidence in your undertaking and DON’T QUIT. Take time and understand your business, be a master of your trade. It may and will take time for your business to turn around but be patient and look at everything from the long term perspective.

As a business person, remember to stay committed and positive. You simply can’t make progress if you’re always focusing on pain rather than the pleasure of a positive outcome. Sure, business is hard. We all know that. But, it gets easier with time as long as you put in the work and keep a POSITIVE MINDSET.

The road to success is going to be long, so remember to pause and enjoy the journey. Everyone will teach you to focus on GOALS, but successful people focus on the JOURNEY and celebrate the milestones along the way. Is it worth spending a large part of your life trying to reach the destination if you didn’t enjoy the journey? Stop and celebrate your achievements when you can because it will certainly take time to build a sustainable, long-term and high impact business.

Always embrace your journey! Learn from your failures and experience, keep stretching yourself and get comfortable with being uncomfortable, continue to learn and grow in the process, and keep taking action!

To the young entrepreneur: You drive the dream and success of your business. Do things right.
