Some child entrepreneurs start their businesses expecting immediate profits. When they don't make profits as quickly as they think they should, they quickly get impatient with the profitability of their businesses. Once impatience sets in, they start making irrational decisions and start loosing credibility as entrepreneurs. Young entrepreneurs often don't know the importance of winning the trust of potential customers.
Many adults are already skeptical about buying products or services from young entrepreneurs.
When the young entrepreneur compounds the problem by arriving late or not arriving at all, these customers rarely give them a second chance. Young people that are serious about their businesses make an extra effort to prove to their customers that they can be as punctual and as dependable as adult entrepreneurs. You should dress neatly when in contact with potential customers. A neatly dressed young entrepreneur sends the message that he cares about the way he looks and, hence, is likely to care about the quality of his work. You should be prompt when you show up to do the job or give customers an estimate of what it will cost to provide the service.
