21 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs
I recently read a blog from Lifehack about 21 habits of highly successful entrepreneurs and was reminded of what a dear friend said to me in the early days of TrainerTainment.
Jim Ernst, who left us way too soon, said to me, “Now everyone owns a piece if you.” Jim was as right then as he is today. We do belong to the people we serve.
Sharing My Vision
I shared my vision 12 years ago with Jim of helping those in the family entertainment world because I sincerely believed we could help grow people and in turn their businesses. Fortunately, Jim believed in me and so did a ton of other people.
We are lucky and blessed at TrainerTainment. The TrainerTainment team takes ownership of our clients and their growth, the same way an entrepreneur takes on everything when they start a new business. Our coaches and trainers take the success and failure of our clients very personally. It doesn’t matter whether we are working on hiring and training superstars, growing group sales, opening a new center, or working with the leadership team through our business coaching program. Everyone at TrainerTainment is all in all the time.
Own It
It seems to me everyone has or takes ownership of something in their lives. Maybe it’s your family, a softball team, your job, a hobby, travel, music, something. When you “own it,” you may notice some of these habits come naturally.
- You are rarely afraid of failure, and when you do fail, it becomes a lesson that propels you to the next success.
- You practice gratefulness.
- You surround yourself with great people.
- You welcome and give feedback.
- You work hard, and you play hard.
- You start before you are ready.
Furthermore, I encourage you to read the article. It will take 5 minutes.
If you want to sell, lead better, become a supervisor, start your own business, have the winningest ball team, or the best Sunday school class, begin by “owning” your situation. Be the entrepreneur of you. No one owes you a thing. Life is there for you. Be in service to others and watch what happens!
I look forward to hearing what you want to own and why. Share that vision out loud and see what momentum you can create for you and the people you’ll influence!
