It is true, running your own business and being an entrepreneur can be quite amazing. You get to set your own hours, call all the shots, do what you love and maybe even work from home in your pajamas (if that’s your thing, of course). But the truth of the matter is that it is not an easy road and it might not be for everyone. There are some key character traits required to being a successful entrepreneur and all our guests from Season 02 which was all about Global Entrepreneurship showcased some or all these traits – creativity, innovation, tenacity, grit, faith, and humility among many others.

If you are thinking about getting into business or taking that fantastic idea you have and creating a brand, there are probably lots of questions that are going through your mind. The last think you want to do is to invest time AND money into something that is really not feasible, viable or worse yet, sellable, right?

Unfortunately, the statistics and data don’t lie. 1 out of 5 businesses don’t survive the first year and within 5 years over half of the businesses would have failed. That is quite a staggering number. But all hope is not lost.

Inspired by all the amazing people featured on Season 02 and by one of my favorite authors on productivity and self-help Steven Covey, join me on this bonus episode of CulturallyOurs as we dig deep into what are some habits of highly successful businesses and entrepreneurs.

Here are the 7 habits of highly successful entrepreneurs and businesses that we will explore in this episode

1. Dream big dreams and work towards them, systematically and consistently without fear
2. Get out of your comfort zone and do something different every day
3. Be flexible and adapt quickly to change
4. Make your health and wellness a priority
5. Keep your clients front and center
6. Have a collaborative mindset
