How to become a successful entrepreneur?

The Internet is a giant whirlpool filled with listicles that cover the qualities that one must possess to be successful, apparently everybody knows about it! Evidently there are too many, not just few that would make anyone a success.

Among the many qualities that I came across while doing my modest research for the blog, there were few characteristics that I found noteworthy. The few that stood out that not just make you successful but set you apart in this world where you want to write your unique story.

Passion
when there is a chance that you might spend a lot of your daily life at the business choice that you have figuratively given birth to, possession of core quality called passion comes pre-requisite. You lose that fire called passion you lose the interest in the business which would make drive success farther away.

Perseverance

If it were any easier everyone one would be doing it, that alone could be good enough reason for us to keep trying and never even thinking about stopping even after multiple failures. The roadblocks that one might face while getting closer to their goals are the stepping stones that would make your journey worthwhile. Perseverance, despite every odds that are placed against, should be one of the greatest attributes an entrepreneur must proudly possess.

Learn and improve, always!

Having one success should not quench your thirst to innovate and improve. A person stops growing when he stops learning. Most successful people vouch for the fact that their success still depends on their realisation that they are always learning from others, sharing knowledge with each other. It is always in the best interest of one’s business to have their eyes and ears open to the world of positive knowledge and information.

Risk-taking

Every business goes through the phase where the entrepreneur goes to a dilemma of choosing to stay in or break free out of his comfort zone, which is called risk taking. It is only through exposure one could face their fear of failure. Never let your fear stop you from taking a decision that could potentially grow your business to heights that you have never even dreamt of.

Finally, you don’t have to accept every quality in your life at the very moment, only the ones that you can closely relate to. If you believe in your idea, the world will too!

Prince of Truffles

Ian Purkayastha's teen revolution didn't include high school music groups, opposing his instructors or humiliating fashion experiments. For him it was: "dark truffle ravioli with foie gras sauce". What's more, couple of years after, Purkayastha not just recollects the "stunning" taste of that dish, yet he's transformed himself into one of America's driving truffle dealer/tycoon.

In 2009 he took up his post as North American sales director for PAQ Gubbio, a main Italian truffle maker. At that point in August 2010, straight from secondary school graduation, Purkayastha left his Arkansas home and his American mother and Indian father to move to New Jersey, outside New York, where he could be closer to the activity.

Emanuele Musini, director of PAQ Gubbio, said he found his American wonder amid a food show in 2008. Only 16, Purkayastha had begun his own particular business Tartufi Unlimited.

With the truffle season finishing on February 2011, Purkayastha had two kilos (four pounds) left over and was pondering what to do with them. Crisp truffles just keep seven days and after that they require solidifying, which brings down the worth. He was fortunate: while driving the comapany vehicle to a Fedex office, a friend happened to call to request two kilos that he needed to supply to a Latin American customer. Purkayastha has always clearly had that touch with business. He relates at the beginning of his career investigating online where he found some produce in France, transported by Fedex. He paid $150 for a large portion of a kilo (one pound), and sold them to the neighborhood gourmet experts and made a 600 percent margin.

Purkayastha doesn't lament his unusual career path. He knows his priorities and needs and was removed from college subsequent to missing exams. The reason was that he needed to talk at a Truffle Festival in Oregon.

If you know you are good at something, don't let anyone stop you from believing in yourself and pursue it, including you.
