Many people start their entrepreneurial journeys but then they just can’t get their businesses off the ground. You see this happen fairly often.

There’s just so much to do, a lot of which is foreign or unfamiliar. You have to manage your finances, market your company, find clients, and more.

Starting a business and living an extraordinary life as an entrepreneur definitely isn’t easy. But it’s also totally doable if you keep at it.

Below, you’ll discover ten tips for how you can not only survive as an entrepreneur but also thrive.

Let’s take a look…

Spend time with people who are smarter than you

This is by far one of the most important tips for living a happy life as an entrepreneur.

I learned this lesson when I was just starting out and it’s one of the most valuable pieces of advice I can offer. If you don’t have a mastermind group or if you’re not spending time with people who are smarter than you, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

Spend time with people who inspire you

On a similar note, one of the best things about being an entrepreneur is that you get to choose your own colleagues and clients.

Spend time with people who inspire you and make you want to be a better person. Surround yourself with positive people and you’ll be amazed at how much better you’ll feel – and how much more you’ll achieve.

Get rid of negative people in your life

This one should be a no-brainer but it’s definitely worth mentioning. If there are negative people in your life, get rid of them. ASAP.

Negative people will only bring you down and they’ll sap your energy and motivation. Cut them loose and invest that energy into yourself and your business.

Create a morning routine

This is another fantastic piece of advice. To ensure you have a successful day as an entrepreneur, create a morning routine.

Your morning routine should include some time for yourself, some time for planning, and some time for activities that will help get you in the right mindset for the day.

If you can, try to stick to the same routine every morning so that you know what to expect and you can get right to work.

Take time for yourself

This one goes hand in hand with creating a morning routine. As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get caught up in your work and let your personal life take a backseat.

But if you don’t take time for yourself, you’ll quickly become burned out. Make sure to schedule some time each day (or each week) for yourself. This could be time for relaxation, exercise, or just hanging out with your loved ones.

This is especially important if you work from home because often there is no off switch with work when there isn’t a clear separation between work life and home life.

And trust me, even though it might seem counterintuitive, if you work from home and you want to make extra money online and increase your earnings from home, you need some downtime.

Set boundaries

As an entrepreneur, it’s important to set boundaries. You need to be very clear about what you’re willing to do and what you’re not willing to do.

This is especially important when it comes to your time. Don’t let people take advantage of you and don’t let them steal your time.

The same goes for your energy and your emotions. Don’t let people walk all over you and don’t let them manipulate you.

Be prepared to work hard

This one should go without saying but it’s still worth mentioning. If you want to be successful as an entrepreneur, you need to be prepared to work hard.

There will be times when you’ll have to put in long hours and there will be times when you’ll have to work on weekends. But if you’re passionate about your business, it won’t feel like work. (But, again, you still need downtime. You just have to strike the right balance that works for you.)

Take risks

As an entrepreneur, you need to be prepared to take risks. Sometimes they will pay off and sometimes they won’t, but that’s the nature of entrepreneurship.

If you’re not prepared to take risks, you’ll never achieve anything great.

But make sure you do your research before taking any big risks and make sure you’re confident in your decision.

Embrace failure

Failure is part of entrepreneurship. If you’re not prepared to fail, you’re not prepared to be an entrepreneur.

Failures are a way of learning and they’re a way of growing. Embrace them and learn from them.

And don’t forget that everyone fails at some point. Even the most successful entrepreneurs have failed many times.

Network

Networking is key for entrepreneurs. You need to be constantly networking with other entrepreneurs, with other business owners, and with people in your industry.

The more people you know, the more opportunities you’ll have. And don’t forget to give back by networking with others who are just starting out.
