Do you have a good idea that you are about to release to an expecting market? A market that will wonder how they earlier at all could have managed without your innovation? Then you are up for a really good time. I urge everyone to do this, at least once in your lifetime. Let the dwelling entrepreneurship skills in you take place! It makes you grow and learn in a way that you never get in an employment situation.

But at the same time I want to give you a word that may get you to sit down and think through what you are about to do. Since it may, at the same time as it gives you your best time in your life, give your worst nightmares ever. It may result in horrible times, work fatigue and personal bankruptcy. Here you can use a military expression:

“Only the prepared survive!”

I consider myself by no means to be an incredibly successful entrepreneur, who has made trillions of money on an IPO or a buy-out, or created serials of successful startups. Unfortunatelly. But I still have my experiences and lessons learned that I may share with you, if you decide to read on…

Everyone wants to be successful. Not everyone is successful. But I believe that everyone can become successful. It is more a matter of knowing how and when to become successful and in what circumstance. If you never start to think about how you want to be or be perceived as successful the only option is to become it by pure chance. And that seldom happens. I believe in setting targets for yourself and work with something that gives you energy and joy. These are the best circumstances and gives you the highest probability of becoming successful. Below I give you my thoughts on what may help you to become successful.

Being likeable; good or bad, types and reasoning

When I am out running in the woods around Gothenburg I often choose to run without any disturbances like music or accepting incoming phone calls, even if I always have my iPhone with me. The reason for this is that it is so insanely interesting to listen to my own mind, wondering around along different thought tracks. One word that appeared in my mind during a run was “being likeable”. While I am running physically, my mind is taking me elsewhere psychologically. Sometimes to the extent that I wonder how I physically got to the point where I find myself waking up from daydreaming while running.

likable |ˈlīkəbəl|(also likeable )
adjective
(esp. of a person) pleasant, friendly, and easy to like.

“Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet – thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing – consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust.”

There is a saying that we shouldn’t re-invent the wheel over and over again, which I in general find as a sound advice. Instead we should innovate! This is also especially brought forward by several several platform providers. They use this as a reason for them to tell us all that the only software platform we need is their super platform, since it is capable of connecting everything with everyone, and dig out the best available ideas from everyone, if you just have enough deep pockets to engage the needed consultancy hours to allow everything to connect to everyone. But there is a reason to question this old saying. Why?

So you’re the new second tier top level manager at work? The custom is to give you one hundred days before slamming down on your achievements at work. You’re desperate to spend these one hundred days wisely. But you’re also stressed by a tight introduction schedule. There are tons of people to meet, shake hand and exchange stories with and evaluate their future contribution to your success. So the time left over for strategic thinking is limited.

Most people that has come to a position where they get to decide over resources or manage people have got some traits that attracts others and create an aura around you. You are fit to be a leader. You have something valuable that is worth treasuring. Do you treasure it? Are you taking care of your management skills as delicately as you should? If you do, you have the opportunity of making a difference in other peoples life. That is a feeling, when you finally notice it, that is more valuable than any high salary any fantastic employer can offer you. You get the rewarding feeling that people around you listen to what you say and act accordingly to how you act. You are a leader and you have followers. You will find this reward and feeling if you stay true to and follow the inner compass that most of us have and make good use of. My believe is that 99% of all inner compasses in the world point in the right direction. Most likely your true inner compass is pointing toward a position where humanity, doing the right things for others, being kind and using humour is dominating as well as practicing good leadership, developing sound business plans, developing yours and others competence and supporting innovation.
