I am a young Entrepreneur. and I want to gain some knowledge from people who've succeed in whatever aspect. share something you've learned and share to some Goal chaser like me

Depends on what you're after, what you need to feel good.

I've giving courses for women, online in groups and in English, which to me was successful when my ladies gained from what I brought them and were totally happy with me as a coach.
Their happiness & success nourished me and to me is success as I'd achieved my goal: help other people -in this case women- with their personal growth.

I've also felt utterly successful when I finished my first novel, sent it in to 1 publisher only, convinced they'd take it, and they did. Half a year later my book was published and shortly thereafter I held a real copy of my first book in my hands.
That was a big achievement and success!!

When on holiday in the US to visit my daughter and her husband we went to the shooting range. That was also success, especially when I hit all targets in row. The rush, that feeling, wowza!! Big success for me :) And very big longtime dream fulfilled!!

Hello Elmaria, welcome to M2 & the forums

As a greenhorn, I made a lot of mistakes in setting short term goals! I was exceedingly driven by the emotional quotient, rather than the bare economics! They inevitably led to heart-breaks, as the long term goals would also be stretched out of time, missing deadlines! It is when I learned to set my emotional attachment with a project aside and get down to the bare economics of a project that I could see results both in the short and long term.

I wasn't a student of economics, so I had to learn it the hard way, and I would reach out for help. Such professional help is a good investment, even for starters. Realistic pricing is tough at times, as we have to keep the competition in mind. And when I am right on this, it really tastes sweet!

All the best to you

I think success is scalable. As long as things are manageable and you have enough you can be happy -regardless of how large or small the endeavor. Maintain balance even if you grow. Be conscientious/keep a clear conscience.

My success isn't the same as your success. How much do you want to make in your venture? How many chains of your business will it take for you to be satisfied? Do you see success as something that will be the end all, be all, or is it ever progressing?

These are things I tend to take into consideration when I measure success in my startup business.

the only true knowledge is in knowing you know nothing

I thing that succeeding means that's
as a human being your finally seeing the benefits of your labours, suffering,pain and restlessness ,
and finally everything is all falling into place

When You are able to take over the responsibilities an become responsible of each challenges to face... You Achieve The Success.

Obviously this is not a thread focused on your specific business strategy but more on the mindset of what it takes to stay driven and on target with your goals.

For me, I set a ladder of achievements which peaked with my ultimate goal but as I climbed higher and higher towards my initial goal I noticed changes in how important that specific goal was.

I needed to be flexible to account for changing conditions and priorities. Nearly halfway up my ladder to success, I adopted a range of ultimate goals which would cover the efforts of my climb.
This way my past accomplishments still worked towards my final rung.

During the climb, things tend to get in the way. While my ultimate goal remained it was often sidetracked by life. When this happened I worked hard to get back on track because I kept my goal in mind even tho I wasn't working towards it at that time.

Once fully back on track, I reviewed my diversions and found a way to use those experiences towards my ultimate goal.

I kept a notebook with each rung laid out of possible methodology to make it to the next rung.
Each rung had requirements which needed to be accomplished before I could move to it.

My success took a lifetime but I made it to where I wanted to be. Each achievement along the way were little successes which inspired me to push myself to the next level.

It wasn't immediate. It wasn't one fell swoop. It was a series of little wins which allowed me to reach the top.
It requires patience and perseverance, dedication and commitment, plus, lots of support and encouragement from other people. Mostly tho, it takes focus on your part.

Things will get in the way.
Things will try to derail you.
People will try to dissuade you.
Time will change things.
Circumstances will change.

Set a plan.
Start with the easy stuff and chalk those wins up as mini-successes.
Progress to more and more difficult accomplishments as you gain knowledge, wisdom and experience.
Keep your ultimate goal in mind.

Well now, since I started in my business when I was 19, and I'm still at it now, at age 66, I guess you could say I've been somewhat of a success at what I do.

First off, I'm in construction & remodeling. I made sure my knowledge base was as wide as I could make it. I found that I had to make my customers as pleased as I could, so that they would refer me to their friends. And I informed them of what I could do, beyond what they hired me for.

I started off charging less than the going rate. Not so much that they questioned my ability. I also would toss in touches that they weren't getting from others.I'd also jump into doing something for them, if they had something fly apart that was unrelated to what I was called for. And NOT charge them for it.(Beyond something that required a part or piece. Then, they would buy it)

I never ran out and bought tools before I had a call for them. I rented where I could. If it grew to I needed a tool for more than one customer, then I'd buy it.

I made myself available at odd times, if they needed it. Several times I would work nights, weekends, just to help a customer in a lurch. That pays off more than you know.

Be HONEST! If you can do it, say so. If not, Also say so! Sometimes, one would ask me to take a crack at repairing a problem. If once you get into it, and find yourself over your head-STOP. You'll only make matters worse. But ask no money for it.Let them decide to pay you for your effort, if they choose to.

Deadbeat customers are everywhere. Work within the laws, don't take matters into your own hands. Judges see that you were on the up and up, and will award you accordingly. Just make sure you stay within your limits of what you might loose.

Have at it. I hope you're a success.
