About Alba International: http://www.albainternational.com.au/
Quit your job. Entrepreneurship can be a time-sapping task and to bring a new product to the market just in time could require more commitment than a full time job. Entrepreneurs become experts in risk taking, and quitting a job is the first big risk.
Find a mentor. Entrepreneurs need guidance to assist in the big decisions. Utilise expertise from those who have been there and made a success as this will enhance the chance of survival.
Connect with other entrepreneurs. Surrounding themselves with likeminded individuals will encourage new ideas, endorse business ideas and create a strong network for when times get tough.
Sell whatever you're good at. Entrepreneurs are often expert communicators; this lends itself to a strong career in sales. By improving selling skills, it will allow the vision of a business to be sold to co-workers, business partners and investors.
Spend 90 minutes a day on your business idea. People work in 90 minute cycles of energy. By using energy effectively, it can boost productivity. It is advised to spend 90 minutes on a business plan; for example, develop website content, design a logo, create social media presence or write a business plan.
Grow your personal brand. To boost credibility, it is important to invest in a personal brand. Boost kudos with a top notch LinkedIn account, rally for endorsements or swot up on industry specific knowledge.
Purchase education. By investing in entrepreneurial skills, it will boost personal value as an entrepreneur. By paying a business coach or participating in an online course can unlock opportunities through qualifications.
