Successful entrepreneurs tend to have certain behaviours;-

Personal They accept responsibility for their actions. They do not rely on others to take decisions for them, or to make their ideas work. If they have a Vision they, and only they, can implement it. They have a can-do approach, to business and to life. They often create a culture around them of likeminded people They don’t prevaricate, they face facts, (having checked their accuracy) accept them, and deal with them. They accept failure with the same attitude-they just dust themselves off and move on. And learn lessons from it. They have passion and belief in what they are doing. They don’t procrastinate, they have an idea, a vision, and they grasp the opportunity They are always alert to new opportunities They see problems as opportunities They set themselves deadlines, sometimes audacious ones! And they are not perfectionists. They launch on the deadline with what they’ve got and accept they may have to further develop the product. Th...

Target your sources

Image
Think about the kind of information you want and where you might find that information. If you want facts and figures about local spending, your local council website might have that. If you need marketing statistics, the major market researchers would be a good place to start. If you want scientific information, think about scientific journals Keywords Your early reading and research will help you think about key words that you can search for further articles of interest. Your keywords should be as specific as possible. Also, search synonyms for the keywords you select Primary, secondary and tertiary sources A primary source is someone directly involved in the subject. For example, a scientist who has made a discovery, or developed a theory. It is research that is collected first hand, and should result in learning something new, so could include analysis of your company’s performance. A Secondary source is someone not directly involved, but is using their knowle...

How to orientate yourself in a new role

You should have a formal induction covering all the immediate practical information you need. If not, ask for information such as “What is the fire drill procedure”, “where can I get lunch”, “what about car parking”? Get passwords and login details for email and any other systems you need to access. Make a note of them! It is useful to have a small, pocket or handbag sized notebook on you at this stage to note down things you need to remember, or follow up. Using one will probably massively improve your performance. Or else use the calendar and notes function in your phone or tablet -but do remember to follow up! You will probably have a meeting scheduled with your manager, where they will be able to provide guidance. If not, ask for one. If you are senior enough to have a secretary or assistant, then it would be reasonable to assume they will be able to guide you through a lot of the difficulties you will face, and supply answers to your questions. If you are not that senior thoug...

Difference between a manager and an administrator

Management is defined in several ways, generally as the organisation of resources in a business to achieve defined targets. My favourite definition is “achieving things through other people “. Administration can be defined in many different ways, sometimes as the process or activity of running the business, so an administrator may be the person responsible for carrying out the administration of a business. Administration is itself a legal term, and means the person legally appointed to manage and dispose of the property of a deceased person, debtor or insolvent company. An administrator can also be used to indicate someone who works alongside a decision maker and implements their decisions, as an assistant or secretary. In this latter context the manager makes the decisions, and the administrator helps to implement them, perhaps controlling paperwork, communicating requirements. I can’t answer your question specifically as it depends on local usage and the context of your question...
