… growing leaders was too refunded and calm for me, but growing entrepreneurs was too wild and chaotic for me. So I decided we needed to grow a combination of the two … and thus the EntreLeader was born.”

An entrepreneur focuses on starting a business, while leaders tend to be focused on keeping a business going.  The entreleader is a combination of entrepreneurs and leaders. They lead a start-up company to grow into a thriving business.

The EntreLeader

Debt weakens your company and puts it at risk of failure. Unfortunately, the majority of small companies fail because of cash flow problems. Create an emergency fund to avoid the temptation of going into debt. Save extra cash to cover your business or yourself in times of unexpected difficulties.

Try to avoid debt. Ensure you have an emergency fund.

"EntreLeadership is defined as the process of leading to cause a venture to grow and prosper."

Without a clear plan for what you want to accomplish, you will not achieve your goal. A simple to-do list can keep you on the right path. When you look back to the tasks completed, you will see that you’ve done a list of meaningful tasks.

Prioritise to-do lists

A good sales team will convince your customers to buy your product. Sales are not about tricking people into buying your product. It is about giving people a positive experience by showing them that you care about their needs and providing appropriate information about how you can fulfil those needs. If you can earn their trust, it is more likely that they will become a customer.

The sales team
