You have made the change, quit your job and invested your entire savings into your new business. But that alone will not guarantee its success. Below are some of the aspects which are important to the success of your business.

Assertiveness:

Have self-confidence. Show off your work and do not be afraid to step up to prospective clients to let them know that you and your company are capable of delivering excellent work. 

Passion:

It will take you several months or perhaps even years depending on your type of business before you starting enjoying the fruits of your labour. During that difficult time a lot of business owners close shop, but if you are passionate about your business, the road to your goal will seem very short.

Commitment:

You have to be very committed; be open to new things and be more than willing to experiment. For example, if a particular method of advertising is not bringing you the desired results, change it. Do not be rigid. 

Networking:

To be a successful entrepreneur, you need to learn the art of networking. As often as you can, meet up with people in your field of business and attend conferences or seminars, even if you have to pay. This will also give you a chance to showcase sell your business to would be clients.

Good family relationships:
