The ABCs of entrepreneurship
By Harvey Mackay
I was recently asked by master marketer Jay Abraham to appear on his radio program, "The Ultimate Entrepreneur" along with several others including Stephen Covey and Mark Cuban. In that company, I knew I had my work cut out for me!
Start with the basics: What better way than to create the ABCs of entrepreneurship? Over the past few years I have developed my version of the ABCs of selling, leadership, negotiating, networking and team-building, which are among my most requested columns.
A is for ability. Entrepreneurs excel at identifying problems and solving them fast. They anticipate obstacles and opportunities.
B is for business plan. A successful entrepreneur must make one before doing anything else.
C is for cash because all entrepreneurs need money. Use it wisely, even when you are rolling in it.
D is for delegate. You know what you do well and what you do poorly. Decide what to outsource and delegate these tasks to others.

Mackay’s Moral: Being an entrepreneur is a lot like the ABCs – start at the beginning and follow your plan through to the end.
