What makes someone successful? I would argue that success measures differently for everyone but in the case of owning a small business and creating a successful one at that, success has a few key points in helping. So what are these key secrets? These ideas that will launch your business. In all actuality, it’s not rocket science!

1. Look to the future – I am one to firmly believe to live in the present and take each moment as it comes but you also have to know that the moment doesn’t last forever. You need to think about the future and what your next move is going to be. Think of your business. What, where and how are you going to take your business to the next level? What is your general approach in bringing your business there (and remember it takes steps, not leaps).
2. Take It Seriously– A business is truly, an important one, especially when you are first setting up your business. If YOU don’t take it seriously, than who will? Think about your finances and the future that’s to come with it. Don’t spend money to just spend it. Invest it in important aspects of what will bring it to where you want it to grow. Nothing happens for free of course, so be professional about your business.
3. Do What You Love – When it comes to business, make sure you are passionate about the business. It may sound simple but if you are thinking of starting your business then you need to make sure that you are going to enjoy the new profession that you have. It takes a lot of hard work so make sure that it’s worth those long hours you’ll be putting in when you first start it.
4. Have A Strong Team – If you want to make sure your business has a positive result you need to surround yourself with strong employees who are going to also put in the time and effort into your business. If you’re a strong boss, you need to make sure your team is willing to back you up anytime, anywhere to help you keep it going.
5. Take A Break If Needed – When times get difficult, and believe me, they will because nothing is ever smooth sailing, make sure to give yourself a break. Is there someone in your team that you trust to help you out while you need some time off? Are you able to coast a little bit? Whatever the reason, make sure to allow yourself either the weekend or a few hours to take the needed time to have yourself.
6. Fit It To Your Lifestyle – Make sure to create your business that is going to help you give you the freedom to be your own boss. If your particular company doesn’t allow you to live the way you want to ( within reason ) you are not getting the personal success that it should bring you. Do you want to spend more time within your home? Do you want to see your family more? What about traveling the world?
7. Take Care Of Your Employees/Customers – One of the first lessons that you cna learn if you attend business school is that having a new client can be more expensive than an existing one. What does this mean exactly? If you’re trying to get a new client, you are investing in looking after the, capturing their attention and so forth. However if you have a recurring customer, they are going to be repeating their purchases or investing in you because they have a trusted relationship with you. By taking care of your employees and customers, they want to come back and visit your business as often as possible, as well as stand by you when working for your company.
8. Make Technology Your Strong Suit- If you are unsure about everything that comes with technology such as errors that occurs, a large production chain or the hours of work your employees puts into emails, marketing and social interaction, you want to make sure that you become efficient and optimistic about what technology can bring to your business.
