Being an entrepreneur gives you the freedom to put your unique skills and perspectives to work – to create something new. It’s an exciting challenge, and rarely a straightforward path. Here are a few tips from my experience as a first-time entrepreneur:

Focus on your passion – Your passion will drive you, just remember to stay focused. It’s easy to get distracted and pulled off course. Resist the urge!
Persistence – Once your sight is set on the vision, go for it with persistence. If one approach doesn’t work, come at it from a different angle. If you’re not getting the response you want, re-package your message and try again.
Have fun – Lighten up a little and try to enjoy the journey. You’re embarking of this new venture because you love it, right?
