Whether you are an entrepreneur already or just thinking about becoming one, you probably know that you are going to have to find a business that you love. You know that you are going to have to work hard to make your business succeed. You know that you are going to have to sacrifice some things to do well. ​

However, you know that, in the end, it will be well worth it.

​Here are some super power entrepreneur tips.
​​
  • Watch your money carefully. Be frugal. Watch every penny that you spend. Be careful with what you buy. Don’t keep a lot of overhead, unless you really need to have it on hand. You can always stock your shelves once you realize what sells and what does not.  Lean startup.  Eric Ries.

  • Take care of yourself. You are going to be very busy but it is very important to take care of your health. Make sure that you eat right and exercise. You need to get enough sleep or you won’t be able to run your business the way that you need to.  I stayed up for 50 hours two weekends ago breaking a world record.  After 24 hours it was taking a serious toll on me.  Get your rest, trust me. Sleep in when you can. You'll have plenty of mornings to wake up early when you actually hire full-time employees on payroll.

  • Learn to delegate. You are not going to be able to do everything that you need to do in your business so you are going to have to learn how to delegate certain tasks. You may want to hire a bookkeeper or a virtual assistant to help you with some of your work.  I know it's hard.  It's scary giving people your passwords.  Sometimes they don't do things the same way you would have.  But let them run with it.  People should have aligned visions, not identical.  Let the difference be perfection instead of imperfection.  

It is important that you watch your money carefully when you are an entrepreneur. If you overspend, you won’t have a business in a few months. You also need to take care of your health or you won’t be able to do your job! You need to learn to delegate some tasks. Even though you own the business, you don’t have to do everything!
