Running multiple businesses requires focus, especially on your main venture. But when launching new projects, sometimes you need to dig deep and give them the attention they deserve. For example, with our grass-fed beef company, I initially thought running a few Facebook ads would be enough to drive sales. I quickly realized that it takes more than that. I had to make calls, meet people, and personally explain the benefits of our product. The truth is, it’s all about hard work.
People often say, “Jeff Bezos was lucky.” That’s nonsense. If you read his biography, you’ll see how hard he worked to build Amazon into what it is today. Success isn’t luck—it’s driven by a few key principles.
Here are the 4 things that make an entrepreneur successful:
- Relentless Work Ethic: Success comes from dedication and effort. No shortcuts, no excuses—just hard work.
- Adaptability: Things don’t always go as planned. Being able to adjust your approach and learn from failures is critical.
- Focus on Growth: While you need to keep your main business strong, don’t neglect new ventures. They require hands-on attention and growth strategies, especially in the early stages.
- Building Relationships: Success often comes from personal connections. You can’t just rely on ads—meeting people, building trust, and explaining your value in person is essential.
Hard work and dedication separate the successful entrepreneurs from the rest.
