What does it to be an entrepreneur

What does it take to be an entrepreneur?

With the UK economy in full re-build, it will be the entrepreneurs, who create jobs, through innovation and by putting their ideas into action. Being an entrepreneur or business owner is not an easy thing to do and with so many new business startups perhaps more than ever before, you have to ask yourself one question:-

Am I ready?

Being an entrepreneur requires a passion, determination and courage that few people actually realise. You will experience the highest of highs coupled with the lowest of lows. At times, your mind and resolve will be tested to the limits and only when you face real adversity will you know whether you truly are entrepreneurial.

Entrepreneurial Leaders

Entrepreneurs are natural leaders that inspire and innovate through ideas and creation. An entrepreneur must accept and realise that he is not skilled in every aspect of business and day-to-day operations. The skill is knowing when and where to seek help and how to use it and in what quantities.  Always stand up and be counted even when things go wrong. When your ideas work, ride them, when they do not, evaluate and reapply.

Your idea

If you are starting a business then you must test-drive your idea. Do not keep it to yourself, as you are not re-inventing the wheel. Put your idea out there, as that is the only way to know if it is going to work. Use your friends and family to test drive your idea but also use people who do not know you, as they will answer honestly without emotion. Above all, listen to them, as they could be your future customers.

Finance

Do you have adequate finance to get your business where you need it to be? If you do not then you have two choices: – either wait until you have secured enough money to fund the business or start it knowing that you will require investment at a later stage. Some investors prefer to see something tangible, live and working. Be careful and choose wisely.

Employing people

During my career, I have employed thousands of staff. I have learned only recently at a great cost that you must employ the best person that you can and if that means you have some kind of profit share then do it. Getting employment wrong, can cost you time, money, grow and can have a negative impact on your business. When I met and interviewed David recently he reinforced that to me.

Business planning

Your business will change as soon as you create it. A business pan rarely goes according to plan. Keeping an eye on costs is key and reviewing your monthly costs is essential if you are to survive.

Always look at your three month cost base and if you are not making money then ensure that you either decrease costs, increase sales or your GP to stay above water. Always remember that if your business makes 10% net profit after all expenses then for every £10,000 in turnover you achieve you earn £1000. Every £1000 that you spend requires you to turnover another £10,000 just to make it back.

Time and resources

Entrepreneurs work long hours and often take home less money than they were paid by the jobs they enjoyed prior to starting in business. I would advise that you have a second income while you build your business. The less you draw from the business, the stronger it will be in the long term.

Your resources are everything and the contacts that you make will help you grow your business. Business networking is an essential tool for any business owner and there are many business-networking opportunities for you to explore.

Business Networking

Business networking is a vital tool for your business. Get out and join as many business networks as you can. Entrepreneur networking will help you make new contacts that you can later use to your advantage.  Raw Business online offers free online business networking. Every registered member also receives a copy of Raw Business Magazine each month. Join as many networks as you can and make as many new contacts as you can.

Dr John Demartini interviewed by Bradley Chapman

It was one of my greatest pleasures to interview Dr John Demartini recently in London.I attended two of his seminars and was truly inspired by his amazing delivery and inspirational speech.

I read the book “The Secret” about five months ago and have been taken in by the Law of Attraction. Thinking positive can change your life. At times, especially in business we can get down when things do not go our way and running a business is not easy and becoming successful is an even greater challenge. Sometimes it can take us two, three or four attempts to get it right.

John was truly inspiring and it is no wonder that he has travelled the world spreading his words of wisdom. Here is my video with Dr John Demartini. Please feel free to comment below with your thoughts and experiences on the laws of attraction.

Raw Business Magazine interview extract:-

Dr John Demartini interviewed by Bradley Chapman

I read a book called “The Secret” a few months ago and it has had a profound effect on the way that I think, feel and act every day. The book is essentially about the Laws of Attraction and how by using positive thoughts, you can bring positive change into your life.

The book was suggested to me by Peter Boolkah, who is my Action Coach. I ordered the book and started to read it. The book talks about attraction and how simple the message is that like attracts. For so long that I had been sending out the wrong message. By sending out the wrong message and negative thoughts meant that I was attracting more negativity into my life.

It is so easy when you are facing adversity or have been going through challenges to turn your thoughts into a positive state, however when you do, some really interesting things can start to happen.

The last few years have been quite challenging for me both personally and in business. I am now at a point where I have started to turn a corner, but I still have to deal with some back issues. Despite the adversity that I have faced, I feel that the future is going to be ok. I have now accepted that the adversity is as John says “a balance of pleasure and pain”.

The funny thing about acceptance is once you decide to let go, new opportunities open up for us. I now believe that the things that I am currently doing every day are a pathway to where I am actually going to be in the future. In the past, I guess I was a little like a salmon swimming against the stream. I believe that in life, that we all have some kind of Achilles heel, the big question is whether we choose to deal with it or not.

Reading the secret has had a big impact on my life. One of the contributors is a guy called Dr John Demartini. I had no idea that I would be introduced to John, let alone have the opportunity to attend one of his events and interview him personally.

I attended two of his events in London recently and was totally inspired by his journey, his words and his ability to captivate an audience, inspiring them to take immediate action to change their lives – Forever!

Dr Demartini is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on human behaviour and personal development. He is the founder of the Demartini Institute, a private research and education organization with a curriculum of over 72 different courses covering multiple aspects of human development.

His trademarked methodologies, the Demartini Method and the Demartini Value Determination, are the culmination of 38 years of cross-disciplinary research and study. His work has been incorporated into human development industries across the world.

Dr Demartini travels 360 days a year to countries all over the globe, sharing his research and findings in all markets and sectors. He is the author of 40 books published in 28 different languages. He has produced over 50 CDs and DVDs covering subjects such as development in relationships, wealth, education and business. Each program is designed to assist people to activate leadership and empower themselves in all seven areas of their lives: Financial, physical, mental, vocational, spiritual, family and social.

I met up with John at a hotel in the Strand and spent about 45 minutes chatting to him, on and off the camera. This man has touched me in a way that I have never been touched before. You can view my Raw TV webcast interview with him by clicking on the player.

After a painful relationship break up in 2007 Bradley left his home, taking with him a few black sacks of clothes.

Bradley said that within three years he would have interviewed some of the UK’s highest profile entrepreneurs, built a successful business network and published a leading UK business magazine… that was in 2007.

Today Bradley has interviewed and worked with some of the UK’s highest profile entrepreneurs including Charlie Mullins, Phil Hall, David Gold, Richard Farleigh, Jacqueline Gold, Max Clifford, Caprice Bourret and Rachel Elnaugh. He has successfully created the Raw Business entrepreneur network that has thousands of members and has published 15 editions of Raw Business Magazine, which has been read in over 70 countries worldwide.

Bradley was invited in January 2008 to speak at the British Library for the Inspiring Entrepreneurs series of events titled “Business Nightmares”. He talked about his first business-networking website called Million Impossible, which he launched in 2007. The event was headed by Rachel Elnaugh, former Dragons Den panellist and owner of Red Letter Days. Bradley’s speech was warmly received by the audience after he raised the volume in the auditorium by asking over 250 people to network with each other in the audience.

Bradley is a down to earth, passionate, determined and courageous entrepreneur that has a unique style of motivating and inspiring business owners, entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneur to take the first steps in business. He also has an ability to bring business, employees and team together to fight for one cause – SUCCESS!

Personal recommendations:

“I recommend Bradley, his company Raw Business and of course his business magazine Raw Business. Motivation plays an important part in any business owner’s career and if you are struggling to find yours call Bradley and he will fill you with energy that you can turn into bolts of lightning to positively impact your business”.

Thank you Action Coach Peter boolkah from Bradley Chapman

I have now had three meetings with my Action Coach, Peter Boolkah and we have not even started to uncover what we will achieve together.

Peter has helped me look at myself before anything else and I have to say I feel great. The business has had its ups and downs and as I am sure, you will all agree – That is part of being an entrepreneur.

Two things he has helped me with so far

1 – Am I happy in what I am doing?

2 – Is my work life balance in order?

Peter has made me look at the business holistically, taking emotions out of the decisions I am making. He also suggested I read a book called “The Secret” which has already influenced my life in a positive way.

I am no longer fighting the universe, instead learning to go with the flow and accept what comes my way and by accepting that good things have started to happen.

I feel more energised and more comfortable with what the future will be. I spent so long fighting against positive forces by telling my adversity story over and over again. Instead, I should have been talking about and sharing my aspirations.

It is not just Peter that I have to thank for this positive change in my life but also some other talented Action Coaches who have also inspired me with their words, stories and belief and I would like to thank them personally:-

Mandy Hildred – http://www.actioncoach.com/mandyhildred (North Yorkshire)
Clive Sury –  http://www.actioncoach.com/clivesury (Yorkshire)
John Davison – http://www.actioncoach.com/johndavison (North Yorkshire)
Nick Ruddle – http://www.actioncoach.com/nickruddle (Essex)
Ian Christelow – http://www.actioncoach.com/ianchristelow (Suffolk)

Thank you all for reminding me that man on journey who can get lost in the day-to-day hubba of running a business can find himself – As long as he reaches out and accepts that some things have to change.

If you are looking for an Action Coach then stand by for our 12 page interviews, information and promotion of some of the UK’s highest results performing Action Coaches in the next edition of Raw Business Magazine. I have even had the great pleasure of interviewing Brad Sugars, founder of Action Coach Worldwide, who, I am pleased to announce is our front cover interview feature.

I liked Action Coach so much that I now have my own coach. Peter you are amazing! Thank you for your time, belief and support during these few weeks. I love you man.

If your business is based in Essex and would like to talk to Peter to see how he will help your business then call the Boolkah hotline on 07773 773 560 or visit his website at http://www.actioncoach.com/peterboolkah/
