Importance of Self-Confidence
and Optimism
I think its’ important to see this clear path and not be
discouraged when people throw stones at it, because
they will. You will have to be willing to see the path,
believe in it, and have the stamina and persistence to
stick with it. You have to stand your ground and
have confidence.

Competency: Snapshot
Do your homework prior to starting the business.
Make sure the market truly needs your service or product.
Finally, make sure you can differentiate your service or
product from the competition in a way that is beneficial to the
customer. Stay focused on your goals, but be flexible enough
to modify your business plan to match what the market is truly
asking for. As evidenced of why this is important: 75 percent
of my firm’s revenue today is from services we did
not offer in my original business plan.

Planning Essentials for Entrepreneurs
 Describes the
basic idea that is
the foundation
for the start-up
and outlines how
that idea can be
turned into
reality
“Someone once said: If you don’t know
where you’re going, any road will take you
there. You need to know exactly where you
want to go, what route you’re going to
take, when you will arrive and what you
are to do upon arrival—no guesswork at
all. You need to determine whether there is
a demand for your service and, if so, what
constitutes your market.”
