Just like preparing a meal, different people have different specific spices and methods in preparing the same meal, but then there are spices that is a must have.. So in entrepreneurship, there are ingredients that are must haves to make your business, whatever it is, to be successful. So what are those ingredients?

Spare Time

For a person trying to move from 9-5 to entrepreneurship. You need to evaluate, test and analyze your ideas to be sure that it is ready to be launched and to do this, you need to have enough spare time. With an effective Time management, you will be able to balance your regular job and test the waters of your prospective business. This will help you decide on the ideal time time to transition from 9-5 to self employment..

Strategy

Everyone needs a strategy to achieve anything in life.. So while you are researching on your prospective business with your spare time, put some strategic plans in place to achieve your goals and reference each tasks.

Stress Management

You have probably heard that self employment equals freedom.. Well, it is not like that in the early days of self employment, especially if you really want to be successful.. Starting a business can be stressful but you need to learn how to remain calm, approachable especially towards your employees amidst the storm.

Persistence

The earlier you accept that failure is inevitable in business, the better for you. A successful entrepreneur looks as failure differently, they see is a stepping stone to success, an opportunity to keep trying and an opportunity to gain various experience while trying other methods.. So be persistent till success comes knocking.

Trust

No one likes a micro manager, a person who likes to control every aspect of a business. Learn to delegate roles and trust your employees to do their jobs. Trying to do everything yourself will drain you emotionally and psychology which will make your business suffer.

Break Rules

Entrepreneurship is all about taking risks and if you want to truly achieve something amazing, you have to go all out, be different, try so many new things that could be out of the norm.. This doesn't mean going against your set principles, it simply means defying the odds to achieve something unique..

Believe

If you don't believe in yourself, who will? This is the most important ingredient in entrepreneurship. If you believe in yourself and your business, people will follow you.
