1. Create your business out of interest

While we do start a business with the motivation of making money but the main reason we do business should be because of interest. Interest in the industry, product and the market. By having and maintaining interest you can continue in the business for many years.

2. Focus & perseverance

Setbacks and slow business is normal. Don’t loose heart too quickly. This is especially true in the early stages of business. Don’t change business too quickly and stick it out a bit longer before making an informed decision to change business.

3. Promotion

Without promotion, your business will fail. You need promotions to get your name out there and to increase your prospects. By increasing prospects you can increase your chance of getting sales.

4. Plan and organise your business

Once you have a steady customer base, your responsibilities increase. Careful and organised planning is essential to keep you on top of everything and maintain as well as increase your customer base.
