It s easy to be motivated by other people but to motivate yourself to achieve a particular goal is something that comes from within. If you are not naturally a self-starter, then you can train yourself to some extent by setting goals and then disciplining yourself to achieve those goals with a plan. A leader is someone who leads, just like a manager is someone who manages. A true entrepreneur must be a competent person to manage but, more importantly, they must be able to lead the way to success. In times of battle or in times of difficulties, people always look for a leader.
Leaders have that quality that inspires others to follow.
If you are going into business, make sure you are in a business where you have some experience or knowledge. You need to have confidence because without confidence you will find yourself wanting in certain situations. Confidence comes from knowing what you are doing, from knowing your subject, from knowing the field you are, it comes from knowing where you are going. All these things can be taught by attending courses or seminars or university to obtain expertise in the era that you are moving into in your business. One of the main keys to success therefore in business is being good at what you do.
