Every successful entrepreneur has had their triumphs and tragedies before attaining fortune and fame. So what makes a successful entrepreneurs? It is a tenacious resolve to follow their dreams and listen to the advice of others who have travelled down the road before them.

Be an Opportunist

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer, believes that when picking a job only fast growth matters. Be selective about your business ventures, but don’t sit on a new venture that shows the potential to make quick cash.

Invest in Yourself.

When your business starts making profits, don’t blow it on sports cars or designer clothes. Always take a percentage of profits to invest in your brand and own development.

Listen to Your Customers.

The customer is always right, at least when it comes to your products. If a customer complains take it as a sign that they still want to do business with your company. Listen to what they are saying, and make the necessary changes.
