Article: Signs of Success

This is an article that was recently published on the internet. This article maybe be used freely and reproduced only if the resource box below is kept intact to preserve the copyright.

In this article, I will discuss signs of success in business as an entrepreneur. Every successful entrepreneur has habits and ethics that I refer to as their signs of success. It is said that success leaves clues, in this article we examine those clues.

Signs of success number 1, is an eager desire. All successful entrepreneurs carry with them an insatiable appetite for success. Their thoughts and minds are consumed with their goals and the end game as they see it. Studies have been done which have shown that successful people have a different thought pattern then everybody else. They are constantly thinking about their future life and how it will be as they reach their goals and increase their income. Entrepreneurs who are successful share an almost primal desire that burns in their soul to become successful long before they actually are.

Signs of success number 2, is a willingness to learn. A very successful business coach taught me "When you are green you are growing, when you are ripe you are rotting". With those who are successful, you will find that they went through a vast season of learning. The most successful entrepreneurs can measure their success almost proportionately to the length of their growing season. What I mean by that is many people will reach a certain level of success and then become confident or cocky. At that point their success will usually plateau or peak. While those who continue to be coachable and teachable will continue grow and continue to reach new heights of success.

Signs of success number 3, is the principle of application. Successful entrepreneurs not only learn but they apply at a far great rate than the general public. This is due to their desire for success. These entrepreneurs are not going to seminars, listening to audios, and reading books for entertainment. They are seriously looking to learn so they can apply what they learned immediately to get results.

Signs of success number 4, is time and money management. It is impossible to became successful in business until an entrepreneur can master his/her management of time and money. Both of these can been seen as tools for success that can be leverage to maximize success or they can be squandered simply as another consumable commodity. Success is never measured by the money YOU earn it is measured in the time that you have and the money that YOUR MONEY is earning you.

Signs of success number 5, is consistency in work ethic. All successful entrepreneurs work from a schedule and a routine. This goes hand and hand with time management. Successful entrepreneurs always have business hours and they work from a schedule. They treat their business as a growing enterprise regardless if it's size. They start work each day at the same time and end at the same time. During their business hours they are always working diligently and never procrastinate during that time.

These signs of success are simple to follow in theory. However, many people struggle to reach their goals and to be come successful. I would encourage you to print this article out and to read it daily until you are able to apply them to your business on a daily basis. By applying this signs of success to your business you will become much more productive. Your personal life will become much more stress free. You will begin to see yourself being modeled in to a much more successful entrepreneur.
