1. Understanding the bigger picture

Entrepreneurs know why they do what they do. They understand that hard work and dedication leads to success. “As an entrepreneur you may have to invest many hours in your work, especially in the beginning,” explains Tom Harris of Live Innovations. It is important to stay focused and not to give up on reaping the rewards to come.

2. Asking for help

Asking for help is not a weakness, insists Live Innovations. In fact, involving others may give additional food for thought. “Pride won’t get you anywhere. By asking for help you can build connections and who knows, a few months down the line you may be able to return the favour,” says Tom Harris of Live Innovations.

3. Being hands-on

Today’s entrepreneurs should not hesitate to get their hands dirty. The advantages of being in the field are to get an understanding about what others do, show support, provide hands-on coaching, find out what challenges exist and the opportunity to resolve them to work more effectively.

4. Getting out of that comfort zone

Tom Harris of Live Innovations says: “It may feel comfortable at first; however people who don’t leave their so-called safety zone, will never be able to discover what else is out there to maintain that competitive edge and innovate.” Live Innovations pushes themselves out of their comfort zone every day. It is part of who they are and their key to success.

5. Finding the right balance

As an entrepreneur it can be challenging to find the right balance between work and personal life. It is therefore important to plan ahead, prioritise accordingly and keep time slots free to resolve emails and projects.

Tom Harris has made it his mission to support new entrepreneurs by helping them gain the relevant skills to launch their own business. The sales and marketing industry is highly competitive.
