Mastering the Entrepreneurial Journey: Work Hacks that can Help

Written By Julie Entwistle MBA, BSc (OT), BSc.

Unlock the secrets to entrepreneurial success with these essential work hacks I recently discovered on entrepreneur.com. Here are some of my personal favourites:

  1. Progress Over Perfection: Don't strive for perfection. Progress is key! How are you advancing your business today?

  2. Proactivity Wins: In business, being proactive is crucial. Stay ahead of the game with a solid operational and strategic plan, adjusting as needed for success.

  3. Embrace Discomfort: Feeling uncomfortable is a sign of growth. Avoid the "Success Trap" by staying comfortably uncomfortable with the help of a coach.

  4. Build a Strong Team: Running a business can be lonely. Surround yourself with mentors, coaches, and partners who challenge and support you.

  5. Invest in Growth: Invest in your employees and yourself. See expenses as investments that yield multiple returns, fostering continuous business growth.
