- Learn from people who have established themselves successfully.
Successful entrepreneurs often worked for others in their field of choice before striking out on their own. As they get trained they always make sure that they follow instructions from their mentors to its true intent. After spending a few years in the industry under an excellent mentor, which provide a good launching pad, they'll go on their own.

Confidence and a good elevator speech can take any pitch to the next level. The first marketing any company experiences comes from its founder. Spend time learning how to share your vision without coming across as “salesy.” Don’t be afraid to ask for the sale, but remember: the prospect/customer is always the focus.
- Constantly take action.
Successful entrepreneurs are movers. They don't procrastinate. They focus on activities that demands constant forward momentum. They always have a clear overview of their list of priorities and are prepared to take actions accordingly.
- Investing on their self-education and keeping themselves up-to-date.
Successful entrepreneurs read about successful people and their businesses. They realized the importance of learning from the wealth of knowledge that's been provided by successful entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc.
- What's your attitude?
Your attitude will set the tone for your business. Negativity, laziness and lack of discipline in implementing your strategic plan will waste your time and money and tarnish your reputation. Success largely depends on your attitude in dealing with failure/setbacks.. Owning up to and facing challenges head-on is what makes a mere business owner a leader.

Exercise, sleep and diet play a central role in ensuring you implement these policies successfully. All of them drive attitude, motivation and relationships.
Successful entrepreneurs tend to follow a structured, daily schedule of rising early, exercising and observing the regular daily meals.
