Get Involved
The more you can get involved with all aspects of the business the easier it will be to become a success. You may find yourself leaving certain aspects of the business to the professionals and outsourcing certain bits, which is fine, but make sure you learn about these aspects too. What’s more, it will break up the tedium. So be there when it comes to web design, or logo design, or product manufacturing, and learn how to better keep your books, or learn about IT security. The more you get involved, the more chance you will have at being able to understand and grow your business.

Be Passionate
This is not the be all and end all of starting a business, but it does help. It’s like any job you’ve probably ever had. You may not have liked it, but you still got the job done. Those that you did like, though, well you got the job done way better. The same goes for starting a business. The more you have a passion for it, the easier it will be to endure the rather unglamorous aspects of it, and thus the more you will like Monday’s. In fact, if you like what you are doing, and what you are trying to do, then the more chance you have of making Monday your favorite day. ​

Be Enthusiastic
It is infectious and contagious and addictive. It doesn’t matter whether it is being enthusiastic with clients, customers, employees, suppliers or investors. These are all people that will be scrutinizing your business and judging your abilities to manage it. As such, be enthusiastic about everything and with everyone. Be enthusiastic about the tech you have invested in and the new head of finance you have employed, and everything else. This energy and positivity you have will go along to way to inspiring confidence in others. You have to be a salesman. It may not come naturally to you, but it is something that you will have to learn how to do and love. 

Be Polite
Your biggest asset is going to be your customer service. Every startup in the world has one problem; funds. That’s where customer service comes in. You may be worrying about how you can compete competitively, but this is a pointless worry and that is because people don’t buy the cheapest option, they buy the best value. As such, if your customer service is tip-top, and you instill a level of confidence, personality, and trust in your customers, then you are going to see repeat business. That’s what the research says anyway.
