'There is nothing to fear but fear itself,' as the old saying goes, but what if you are basically scared not of failing but of succeeding in changing into a serious entrepreneur? Entering into any sort of an establishment has its own sets of risks and rewards, although plenty of people would never admit that making it's a risk that they are not prepared to take. Success does not only mean fortune and celebrity ; it also brings with it responsibility and pressure to be consistent.
Nobody is Perfect
There are folk who argue that they want perfection before success, and that sounds too much like a reason to be convincing, especially if they do not set the criteria for what perfection means, nor do they set a cutoff point to realize it. A lot of top earning marketers have attained their goals without this'perfection', and claiming moral ascendancy over them will not put food on your table.
Everyone will have their good days and bad days, and it's time to tell yourself that it's fine to make mistakes. If a customer or customer makes reasonable complaints, make amends and correct it. Be aware of their feedback, and use it on your later projects. That is one extra step to'perfection' that you could not make if you hadn't put your product out there in the 1st place.
Time to Move On
Of course it's part and parcel of being a serious entrepreneur to learn as much as you can about your craft and to develop your skill, but if everyone spent all their time studying to be something, there'll be nobody left to do the real work. Experience is also the best teacher ; how will you know if your product is up to standards, if you don't try it out in the market?
The reality is, academic study is a comfort area that some folk do not wish to head out from. You do not want to stop improving once your product hits the market. In fact, that's's the simplest way to see what improvements you must make.
A serious entrepreneur should, therefore , be results-oriented : a client or buyer would be happier to see a project that is 80% adequate, than not see a 100% perfect one.
It has been Done Before
How many products have you seen on the market which has been about for a bit and will suddenly have advertisements that claims'NEW AND IMPROVED'? Businesses that work are prepared to take the danger of small successes to get their feet wet and work their way up the market. At the end of the day, the only real way to become a serious entrepreneur is to take action. Remember that sloppy success beats perfect mediocrity.
