Secrets to Enhance Your Entrepreneurial Get-Rich Potential in 2017

I have many good friends and students who are entrepreneurs as I myself am. Sometimes
it’s not easy when business doesn’t develop the way we plan, but never get discouraged. Successful people move on and find alternative ways to do things. This is a particularly good year for new opportunities and growth. Here are a few ways you can sharpen your business instincts and enhance your chances of success when running your own enterprise…and they're important even if you are working for someone else.

1) Be a Good Communicator! Selling isn't just done by sales clerks in shops…we sell our ideas, our products and ourselves every day…. so it’s important to communicate well. Learn how to be more persuasive and enticing as success in any business depends on how you market your products and services. You always need a well thought out strategy and good story line! And don’t forget your feng shui. As you’re chatting to a customer or potential client – be sure to face your sheng chi direction.
2) Keep Things Simple – Stay Focused and Positive! Staying positive makes your energy more powerful and when you keep your goals focused and clear cut the tasks at hand get simplified. Don’t get distracted and try to multitask. You’re more productive when you focus on a specific goal or project and not on several things.

3) Be Adventurous! Successful business people usually have a sense of adventure and are willing to explore new ideas and directions. Courage is important if you are to stay with your vision and forge ahead. All true entrepreneurs have this sense of adventure…to boldly experiment with the unfamiliar and occasionally go against the grain of conventional wisdom in whatever industry they are in. Think Donald Trump!
4) Do what you love! We’ve all heard this before, but this is the year to make it happen. Discover what your special skill is and turn it into your passion. Live it, expand it and study every aspect and angle of it. Then build your business around it.

5) Identify Your Income Sources! Many entrepreneurs are dreamers with lots of great ideas and business proposals but no source of income to fund or finance them! When I ask them …what’s the source of your immediate income… they look blankly at me. No matter how good an idea…your business must be able to generate its own source of income. When it cannot, then it’s not a business but simply a hobby.

Study the trends!

6) Keep Your Business Fresh and Up To Date! At the beginning of every year, as I am doing right now, review all the projects you have on hand and analyze each one carefully. It is the process of thinking that stimulates your creativity and keeps your business "fresh." I look at the trends, study the Internet, and keep up to date on celebrity news and fashions to stay a step ahead of the competition. It's not easy, but it's a necessity to continually repackage and reinvent my product lines and business ideas.

Being an entrepreneur requires leadership skills, taking risks and staying ahead. Follow your feng shui guidelines and conduct all your business ventures with the good intention.

Make 2017 YOUR BEST YEAR!,
