As a mobile marketer you may have seen two people start a business concurrently. After some time, one is wildly successful the other a complete failure. Though these people were endowed with the same resources and the two had the desire to succeed, you may have been puzzled by the huge variance. Well, success in any business requires certain basics. Here are the top ten characteristics of business people who make it big.
1. They are disruptive.
This means coming up with a totally different, but cheaper way of delivering the same results. Think of Skype. It is quite disruptive, don't you think so? It eliminates the exorbitant cross border phone charges.
2. They aim big.
The energy involved in running a $100,000-a-year business is the same as that of managing a ten-million-a-year business. Mobile marketers who succeed know this and they pursue big dreams. They go for the big clients, high return venture and technologies that offer the biggest leverage.
3. They network.
They have good relationship with investors, advisers, employees and customers. With a broad network, the ability to make important, global-sized changes is made possible. In addition, it becomes easier to borrow success concepts from other industry and apply them in mobile marketing.
4. They have a plan B
Successful marketers plan for better or worse. They look at the worst that can happen and prepare for it. However, they work tirelessly to make the best possible scenario materialize.
5. They persistence.
Persistence means working tireless in the realization of a vision. It means being flexible in the face of changing circumstances. It doesn't mean being blind and rigid to change.
6. They are honest.
Successful mobile marketers don't exaggerate the benefits of a product or hide material flaws. They don't knowingly associate with people or products that are mediocre. They are excellent and will sell products truthfully without regard to expense.
7. They hire slowly fire fast.
It is important to get hiring right the first time. This may take time research and patience. People who make it big realize they can't do it alone and that employees are key to their success. In this regard they hire without haste. However, in the event they realize that they got the wrong person on board, they fire without restraint or regret.
8. They break rules.
The rules of entrepreneurship are not immutable laws of nature. You can break them without suffering the consequences that would come by breaking laws of nature. In other words, successful marketers question rules and sometimes ignore listening to all of the rules all of the time.
9. They launch early.
The biggest profits in most businesses go to people who go in early. To go in early you need to be alert to opportunities that present themselves all the time. Often, you need to train your intuitive abilities to guide you. In most times when you go in early institution may be the only reference point.
10. They are good marketers.
Marketing is an indispensable trait of business owners who think big. It is a discipline that should not be delegated or outsourced. Marketing is the bloodline of any business and business owners who succeed masters it more than any other field.
