Glasgow Interactive: Advice For Entrepreneurs, From Entrepreneurs

GLASGOW, UK, November 2013 – Entrepreneurship takes a certain type of person to make it through. Some say it is the harder yet more rewarding avenue. If you are hoping to become an entrepreneur or you already are one, here is some help for you, from people with years of experience in running their own businesses.

Don't work for less than you can afford to.

Surround yourself with supportive people and don't be discouraged by anyone. If you're determined to stick with it through the first few difficult years, your chances of success are great.

Be flexible in your thinking.

Admit your mistakes, correct them and carry on

Develop a good relationship with your bank manager and creditors. Show a genuine interest in solving problems. Pay as much as you can afford to, to everyone to whom you owe money.

Get trained! You'll be spending a lot of time doing things that have nothing to do with your area of expertise.

Avoid isolation.

Separate your work and personal life. Set your working hours and stick to a strict timetable.

Plan some ‘thinking time’ into every day. If you pack your diary with back-to-back activities, your businesswill never grow.

Plan time to do something you enjoy at least a few times a week - recharge your batteries!

Write a business plan so you're clear about what you're doing, and update it every year.

Develop an excellent telephone manner and react quickly to any complaints or problems.

Never lose sight of the big picture – look for innovative, little-explored directions in which to take your business.

Don't enter a business or a venture that you know nothing about. You'll be running to catch up for the rest of your business life.

Focus on a specific goal and work at it until it’s achieved.

Make quality in every aspect of your business your primary focus and aim. If it isn't, you will eventually go out of business.

Use the Internet. Use email. Build a website, use social media, send out email newsletters, buy online banner advertisements and register your site with all the major search engines.

Delegate. Build a team.
