THe major characteristic of successful entrepreneurs you

can use today

It’s great to have goals, it’s important to have ideas and it’s imperative that you have a system to follow if you want to be successful…

…but one consistent thing that successful entrepreneurs tend to do, which takes little or no resources is…

…implement things fast.

And implementation for me, I suggest it is for you too, is a balance between doing something new and understanding what’s possible.

Not everything you implement will work so don’t expect it to…

…which is why speed of implementation is such a critical factor for successful entrepreneurs.

Speed of implementation can be everything.

When you spot an opportunity grab it and take action because this is something only a small proportion of people do and that’s key.

If you have taken a Kolbe test, which by the way if you don’t know about or worse still do know about and haven’t done…

…you will most likely show up as what they call a high “Fast Start” personality and that’s great.

But here’s the thing. Serial entrepreneurs like me can do too many things and starting is one thing, but…

…taking something to its logical conclusion is where the results come from.

So much as I want you to learn how to spot profitable and relevant opportunities and then take action on them…

…I also want you to know when to put them to one side for the time being and focus on implementing things that matter.

Let me just take you through the elements at play when it comes to being a successful entrepreneur…

…this way when you use your hunger, passion and vision to take action and implement your ideas, you will have some basis on which to take that action.

So the first thing is that the components that matter when taking action are…

You – it’s amazing how many people fail to be what I call selfish when taking action.

Only do something, as I say because you want to or because somebody is paying you too and preferably both…

…never feel forced or obliged to implement something, unless you have a legal or moral obligation too obviously.

Next I want you to be very clear on the market you are adding value to and therefore any promotional activity you do is right for that market.

And by the way, if you need any help on marketing…

…I’ve created a full hours worth of video training on this free which you can get via my website AdrianFleming.com…

…so I don’t want to take up time here, but what I will say is after you watch the training is that you will see why I believe there are…

…an infinite number of marketing opportunities now and all you need to do is test some and find out what works for you and your specific needs.

I also need you to be aware of the impact implementation will have on other people, this may be customers, staff, friends and family…

…but you must appreciate that those around you will be impacted by your implementation so make sure you know…

…what impact your actions will have on others, even if they could be negative for them, so long as they are right for you.

You also need to be thinking about human resources in what you implement, so take account of this and plan accordingly.

And then we have the systems.

Now as an entrepreneur you are motivated and as such do too many things yourself and take on things that would be best to delegate…

…but if you can use systems or systemise things your speed of implementation can really benefit you and generate results consistently and over time too.

Obviously when implementing something there will be changes and that’s fine because it’s a good thing but here’s something you need to be aware of…

…just moving outside of your comfort zone is where you will most likely find you greatest opportunities…

…so yes, being out of your comfort zone will be uncomfortable but…

…it will also allow you to learn, develop and likely profit from your experiences and as such continue to develop your skills and ability.

Now you know that you should be implementing things fast and that this will involve change and being outside of your comfort zone…

…I want to give you some things to look out for because minimising risk is another key skill I can help you develop.

So first of all, when you implement things, be mindful of creating stability as quickly as you can too because when you manage this correctly…

…and it may require you to learn new things and take advice from third parties, you are building a strong base to grow on.

If you struggle to get stability in what you are doing, step back and take a look at what’s causing the variations and issues…

…and focus on them first, it will help you measure, monitor and refine things faster.

Next is the fact that some of the things that will work will be counter intuitive, so just because that’s what others do doesn’t mean that you should be doing it.

I also ways recommend that you see what’s working and look to improve it.

Equally, you may be in a market or situation that warrants lateral thinking, so again, relating to being outside of your comfort zone…

…do assume that what you should do is not necessarily in line with your initial thoughts and assumptions.

And to just add to the aspects to consider, you may be implementing things that create value, not just money…

…so measure what happens rather than seek validation for your ideas and implementation because…

…when you implement something, as a test to start with, understand what happens, why and how best to refine it or even stop doing it…

…you can create a continual culture around improvement and progress which will allow you to profit and benefit from continually.
