3 Steps to Succeed as an Entrepreneur + 2020 Statistics

Forging your own path as an entrepreneur comes with its own unique set of challenges. However, the pursuit of creating a career around your passions and the drive associated with being your own boss drives entrepreneurs in all industries to succeed.  

To succeed as an entrepreneur requires lots of dedication, time, and effort. Below are trends, tips, and what to know about growing your business from the ground up. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to creating a meaningful company.

Solidify Your Mission 

Setting an intention of why you started your business can help you stay focused and motivated when times get tough. Have a common goal that you and your team can always refer back to when reaching micro-goals and setting benchmarks. Remember what motivates you specifically as a business owner, as your personal goals may differ from others as your team grows. 

Statistics show that over 20 million people want to be their own boss in the next year. Others prefer the ability to work whenever or wherever they want. New entrepreneurs prefer having flexibility with their work and emphasis on mental health over making more money.  

Have a Mentor to Help Guide You

One way to learn is from those who have been there before you, like leaders in your industry or mentors. You can learn from their mistakes and adapt what has worked for others to your own business plan. 

According to other entrepreneurs, three key skills that lead to success include clear communication, problem-solving skills, and efficiency with your time. Evaluate these skills in regard to yourself as a business owner and how your company operates.  

Manage Your Risks  

A great way to start learning is to look at how others have failed. Seeing where others went wrong can prevent you from making the same mistakes. Creating and evolving your business operations over time by managing risks will help you save time, cost, and effort.

Becoming an entrepreneur can be costly. Over 20 percent of potential business owners struggle due to a lack of funds available or high amount of debt. About 66% of entrepreneurs also said that they faced difficult hurdles in year one. Evaluate your business expenses quarterly to confirm you are not overspending.  

For entrepreneurship trends in 2020, Embroker compiled over 70 essential entrepreneur stats to check out. Becoming a success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes persistence and effort. Through the process, you’ll run into obstacles and feel like giving up. Remember why you started in the first place. Evaluate what has worked or failed for others and adapt it to your own unique circumstances.
