Experts Share the Actions of a Successful Business Start

As a new entrepreneur, it’s easy to get lost in the minutia of starting a business and lose focus on the big picture. In those moments, it can be difficult to know if you’re succeeding or not. What does success mean for you? Even though everyone’s opinion will differ about what success looks like for them, there are certain things you should do to find success when starting out.

To help provide you with some examples, we’ve asked several business coaches for their answers to one question:

“What actions help someone succeed when starting a business?”

Is There A Market?
“Before investing any time, money, or action into any business idea, you need to gauge whether or not there’s a viable market for the product or service. We’ve seen countless businesses come and go because a ‘genius idea’ is excellent, but there’s simply zero market demand for it.”

Think Outside the Box
“The ability to think and operate outside the box is a key component to running a successful business.”
Mike Kennedy, Business Coach, MCKcoach

Forge Relationships
“Forging relationships; neither price nor quality of products or services provided account for more of the success of a business than the relationship developed between provider and client.”
Mark Harris, MSW/MBA | Harris Development Group LLC

Be, Do, Have
“The order of action is BE—DO—HAVE.
You must BE or BECOME the person with the beliefs, mindset, and skills to DO the necessary and right actions to HAVE the desired results.”
Gabriela Humailo Parker, Mindset Coach, Bestselling Author of “Think Big,” with Brian Tracy

Remember, You’re the Brand
“You are the BRAND and starting any business begins with you and the platforms you hold. Something one must consider before taking the leap: will you be willing to pivot and still fair well because of the BRAND! (YOU)? Can you tell it with clarity and amplification?”
