Assalamualaikum..
Assalamualaikum Karim Hakimi, firstly I really want to thank you about your sharing target. It also makes me interested to become a successful technoprunuer like Steve Job. Beside that's, as we know the Hadith "Nine of ten the door income is from the business." So that's, it is very good for you to involved in bussines.
ReplyDeleteBut Hakimi, there’s not so easy to achieve that if you don’t have a good plan or strategy to achieve that. As we know, a technopreneur is an extension of an entrepreneur, and makes use of technology to make a new invention and innovation and thereby exploits his achievement in the market to make money. And here I attached some strategy and skills that you need to take serious if you really want to achieve your goal.
Be Extraordinary. If you do the same thing as everyone else, it’s hard to be successful. It is important to find the edge and then push past it. That is how you become noticed and get what you want. Whether it is money, meaningful relationships and/or a sense of personal accomplishment, the extraordinary person attracts them all.
Start Now. There are many factors that go into become a success in both your professional and personal life but the one factor that is required is taking action. Most people miss out on reaching their full potential because they never start. They are always preparing, planning and waiting for the best time to start. If I waited until I was ready, I would not have a coaching practice, a website, a blog, a workshop, etc. The stars rarely align and you will never be completely ready so just start now and adjust along the way.
Hunt for Good Mentors. People who “make it” usually credit their success to a mentor or a group of mentors who really helped guide them to get to where they are. Mentors have gone down the road that you want to travel and can guide you to get to your destination faster than if you went at it alone. If you want to be healthy, you would find a mentor who is already healthy. If you want to be rich, then you have to find someone who is already rich. What surprises me is how rarely people engage in mentoring relationships and those who do usually find mentors in only one aspect of their lives. If you want to be successful, be active about finding mentors that will help you achieve what you want. Jeff Goins has a nice short article on finding mentors.
Build a Support Group. While mentors serve as a guide with whom you review your past actions and plan your next steps, a support group are your companions that help you with during the actual execution of your plan. This may be in the form of a mastermind group or accountability partner where you keep each other accountable for your goals and to help each other deal with situations that may arise while you are on your journeys. It is extremely helpful to have someone you know that is willing to listen to your frustrations and self doubt and to encourage you and remind you of how far you’ve already come. Lastly, I also hope that one day you really will achieve your target to become a successful technopreneur. (Amiin)
