Base on tested and proven successful entrepreneurs of mine,I would say that the number one advice for someone who wants to start their entrepreneurial journey is to be passionate about their idea and to have a clear and well-defined vision. When you are passionate about your business, you will have the motivation and drive to overcome obstacles and keep pushing forward, even when it gets challenging. Additionally, having a clear vision for what you want to achieve will help you stay focused and make strategic decisions that align with your goals.

One answer is: trusting in the service or product you want to sell. You have to make sure what you're offering, does the exact thing it is intended to. This way, you can gain trust from your clients and they can easily refer others to you.

The number one advice for someone wanting to begin their entrepreneurial career is, make a list of your top five skills, do an internet research about what problems you can solve with your skills, pick a problem and the corresponding skill, and find the easiest way you can think of to put your skill to work right now.

You do not need clear vision. You do not need passion. You need to have a legitimate desire to resolve a problem with your skill. Clear vision and passion will come later. Beware of the popular belief that you need a clear vision and passion to be successful. What you need is to take ACTION. Right now!

Follow your value system. You will not regret it. Examine your talents, your attributes and your affinities and develop an idea for entering a business that you would enjoy.

Our existence and our mental universe are driven by factors that we as individuals inherit through the gene pool, as enhanced by our experiences in life. In short we are most at peace when we are in sync with the personal value system that has evolved as a result of the above factors and when we are permitted to pursue our values in our personal and professional endeavors.

If we cannot achieve that harmony we will seek change.

Find the niche that satisfies the above and you will find the long term spark for success you are seeking.

Number one piece of advise...determine the one thing that you can do to add value and do that everyday. Want to write a book...write for 30 minutes everyday. Need to market your business...figure out what causes sales and/or builds relationships and do this everyday.
