THe major characteristic of 
successful entrepreneurs you 
can use today
It’s great to have goals, it’s important 
to have ideas and it’s imperative that 
you have a system to follow if you 
want to be successful…
…but one consistent thing that successful 
entrepreneurs tend to do, which takes little or no 
resources is…
…implement things fast.
And implementation for me, I suggest it is for you 
too, is a balance between doing something new 
and understanding what’s possible.
Not everything you implement will work so don’t 
expect it to…
…which is why speed of implementation is such a 
critical factor for successful entrepreneurs.
Speed of implementation can be everything.
When you spot an opportunity grab it and take action 
because this is something only a small proportion of 
people do and that’s key.
If you have taken a Kolbe test, which by the way if 
you don’t know about or worse still do know about 
and haven’t done…
…you will most likely show up as what they call a 
high “Fast Start” personality and that’s great.
But here’s the thing. Serial entrepreneurs like me 
can do too many things and starting is one thing, 
but…
…taking something to its logical conclusion is 
where the results come from.
So much as I want you to learn how to spot 
profitable and relevant opportunities and then take 
action on them…
…I also want you to know when to put them to one 
side for the time being and focus on implementing 
things that matter.
Let me just take you through the elements at play 
when it comes to being a successful entrepreneur…
…this way when you use your hunger, passion 
and vision to take action and implement your 
ideas, you will have some basis on which to take 
that action.
So the first thing is that the components that matter 
when taking action are…
You – it’s amazing how many people fail to be 
what I call selfish when taking action.
Only do something, as I say because you want to 
or because somebody is paying you too and 
preferably both…
…never feel forced or obliged to implement 
something, unless you have a legal or moral 
obligation too obviously.
Next I want you to be very clear on the market you 
are adding value to and therefore any promotional 
activity you do is right for that market.
And by the way, if you need any help on 
marketing…
…I’ve created a full hours worth of video training 
on this free which you can get via my website 
AdrianFleming.com…
…so I don’t want to take up time here, but what I 
will say is after you watch the training is that you 
will see why I believe there are…
…an infinite number of marketing opportunities 
now and all you need to do is test some and find 
out what works for you and your specific needs.
I also need you to be aware of the impact 
implementation will have on other people, this may 
be customers, staff, friends and family…
…but you must appreciate that those around you 
will be impacted by your implementation so make 
sure you know…
…what impact your actions will have on others, 
even if they could be negative for them, so long 
as they are right for you.
You also need to be thinking about human 
resources in what you implement, so take account 
of this and plan accordingly.
And then we have the systems.
Now as an entrepreneur you are motivated and as 
such do too many things yourself and take on 
things that would be best to delegate…
…but if you can use systems or systemise things 
your speed of implementation can really benefit 
you and generate results consistently and over 
time too.
Obviously when implementing something there will 
be changes and that’s fine because it’s a good 
thing but here’s something you need to be aware 
of…
…just moving outside of your comfort zone is 
where you will most likely find you greatest 
opportunities…
…so yes, being out of your comfort zone will be 
uncomfortable but…
…it will also allow you to learn, develop and likely 
profit from your experiences and as such continue 
to develop your skills and ability.
Now you know that you should be implementing 
things fast and that this will involve change and 
being outside of your comfort zone…
…I want to give you some things to look out for 
because minimising risk is another key skill I can 
help you develop.
So first of all, when you implement things, be 
mindful of creating stability as quickly as you can 
too because when you manage this correctly…
…and it may require you to learn new things and 
take advice from third parties, you are building a 
strong base to grow on.
If you struggle to get stability in what you are 
doing, step back and take a look at what’s causing 
the variations and issues…
…and focus on them first, it will help you measure, 
monitor and refine things faster.
Next is the fact that some of the things that will 
work will be counter intuitive, so just because 
that’s what others do doesn’t mean that you should 
be doing it.
I also ways recommend that you see what’s 
working and look to improve it.
Equally, you may be in a market or situation that 
warrants lateral thinking, so again, relating to 
being outside of your comfort zone…
…do assume that what you should do is not 
necessarily in line with your initial thoughts and 
assumptions.
And to just add to the aspects to consider, you 
may be implementing things that create value, not 
just money…
…so measure what happens rather than seek 
validation for your ideas and implementation 
because…
…when you implement something, as a test to 
start with, understand what happens, why and 
how best to refine it or even stop doing it…
…you can create a continual culture around 
improvement and progress which will allow you to 
profit and benefit from continually.
