Mohammed Al-Bayat is a real estate tycoon continuing his family’s business legacy. The family just happens to be one of the wealthiest and most prominent in SAUDI ARABIA. Despite this, Mohammed puts 110% effort into his business career and shares three ways he stays focused to achieve his goals.
Self-Motivation
A positive mindset is one of the most critical tools in an entrepreneur’s arsenal. You must maintain the right mindset in order to succeed. Part of this mindset is believing in yourself. After all, if you cannot believe in yourself, how can you expect others to do this? You must be motivated to overcome challenges and hurdles, devising ways of doing this yourself and not relying on others. While outside assistance can be sought, it is not always guaranteed.
Innovation
Innovation is the key to almost any business. Innovation means thinking outside the box and being a step ahead of your competition. You must think in terms of the future, not the present and certainly not the past. Innovate to come up with reasons why someone should come to your organisation instead of someone else’s. Innovation shows your colleagues and customers that you are dynamic and open to change.
Self-Management and Emotional Intelligence
Entrepreneurs are their own bosses. Since you don’t answer to anyone, you must have good time management and organisational skills. Essentially, you have to manage yourself. If this is a weak point, work on it immediately. Emotional intelligence, or the ability to control emotions and handle interpersonal relationships, is another must when it comes to achieving goals. There is a saying that when you come to work, leave your emotional baggage at the door. While this might sound harsh, it is right on point when it comes to running a successful business.
By utilising these three simple techniques, you will find it easier to stay focused and achieve your goals. And when you achieve these goals, you are on the right path to success.
