If you’re anything like our team here at Atlas Hartmann, you’re eager to learn and sharpen your entrepreneurial skills. As a small business, we are used to sharing knowledge and offering guidance as needed. Today, we are going to transfer what we teach in our office to this blog so that we can pass on the success tips and tricks that we’ve accrued over the years. Are you ready to take the next step in your career as an entrepreneur?
To start, we want to remind you that your journey is your own. Don’t compare yourself to your colleagues. Instead, build your business at your pace. If you try and rush your progress, you’re going to hit barrier after barrier. Don’t waste your time on tasks you’re not prepared for yet. There is no shame in being self-aware. Grow at a speed you’re comfortable with. Trust us when we say that if you follow this advice, you’re going to develop into an influential and unstoppable force!
“Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear and how to be free from it.” – Veronica Roth
The number one destroyer of entrepreneurs is fear. The hardest thing that you will ever do is take that first step out of your comfort zone. It’s difficult to embrace the unknown. However, to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to embrace what frightens you. Our team members here at Atlas Hartmann believe that the greatest obstacle to overcome is accepting failure. The fear of not succeeding has stopped many entrepreneurs in their tracks. What we teach our people is that they have to shift their way of thinking. There is no such thing as win or lose. You either win, or you learn. Every time your career takes a hit, be a sponge and soak up as much detail as you can. Now you are better equipped to take the next step and the next hit.
We want to wrap up this short list of tips with one that correlates with our company values. All successful entrepreneurs are surrounded by like-minded, intelligent, resourceful, and dedicated individuals. At Atlas Hartmann, our business practices are designed to help our team members reach their full potential. We want them to exceed every goal they set. Why? Because in doing so, they are strengthening their skills AND our business. Build up your team with those who will stand by you and are as eager to excel as you are!
Before you go, we want to leave you with one challenge. Before you head into the office again, stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself, “Am I doing what it takes to succeed?” Don’t be quick to respond, either. Take your time and mull over what the truth really is. Successful entrepreneurship boils down to whether you are willing to self-reflect and be open about what you’re doing right and what needs improvement. If you’re up for the challenge but need guidance, reach out to our recruiting team by emailing contact@atlashartmann.com. We’re currently hiring and are excited to speak with you!
