I was once in a particular country for a few months. During this time, I was waiting for the bus that would take me home. A person approached me and said they could not see the number on a particular bus very well and asked me to read it for them. I went ahead and did, and he was grateful, as this was his bus. Thinking back a few weeks later, I realised that the person was most probably not able to read but was too embarrassed to share this.
In this era of entrepreneurship, the worst thing you could do is feign knowledge that you don’t have and keep up the pretence that you know what you don’t or can see what you really can’t. Along your entrepreneurial journey in this era, it is really important that as an entrepreneur you embrace an attitude where you are ready to unlearn so you can learn. The landscape has changed, and it is really important that as an entrepreneur you let go of what is no longer working for you in business. Instead, seek out the wisdom you need to transform your business in this era.
We have noticed many entrepreneurs making the mistakes of not: -
- Defining and redefining their business based on the problem they are solving to align with proven frameworks.
- Identifying and working with the very right clients for their business.
- Identifying what to let go of, so that they pivot into new emerging potential opportunities.
- Being strategic in the business activities they should prioritise.
Take action and find coaches and mentors that will help you navigate your business transformation. Start with crafting your business roadmap for clarity, so you can have confidence and courage to set up yourself and your business for success.
