5 Things Successful Entrepreneurs Will Continue Doing in 2023
Success leaves clues.
That’s one of the most important lessons I’ve learned as an entrepreneur. I don’t need to figure it out by myself. There are plenty of other people who are where I want to be.
They’ve been doing it longer, and better than me. I should pay attention to what they’re doing.
My least favorite saying is self-made.
You’re not self-made.
Other people taught you everything you know. You need to give credit where credit is due. If you were actually self-made, you wouldn’t know anything about anything.
I have 100s of mentors, and 99% of them don’t know I exist. I’m quietly watching what they’re doing online and following in their footsteps.
When I started writing on Medium, I paid very close attention to the writers a few steps ahead of me. Not just the top 1% writers. People who had a few thousand followers. I studied all of their articles. I noticed which topics did best, what photos they used, the types of headlines.
If you want to become a more successful entrepreneur, you need to see and understand what other successful entrepreneurs are doing.
