1) Address.
Every startup needs a leader with a vision. During difficult times, the CEO needs a clear idea of the ultimate mission and how the company must get there. A good business leader keeps the long term in mind while addressing the immediate needs of a new company.
2) Speed to market.
You can’t be second when it comes to startups. Especially with the rate of technological development, the faster a startup can produce its service or product, the better chance it has of delivering it to customers. Young companies have to compete with established industries. One of the reasons companies are successful is that they reach consumers first.
3) Financial knowledge.
Successful startups know how to work within a budget. Managing finances and keeping a young company free of debt it can’t pay is key to success. Startups need to do more with less.
4) Well communicated.
Like early career builders, young companies can gain an edge by knowing a few well-connected people. These companies use their social network for their first clients, investors and mentors. As the old adage goes, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
5) Dedication.
Startups need leaders who are willing to work hard and stick to their goals. This leadership inspires others to commit to a strict work ethic, aligned with the company’s mission. All employees must be committed and dedicated to the goal.
6) Perseverance.
Even when times get tough and the road to success offers bumps and roadblocks, new businesses must persevere to succeed. Most start-ups quit when money is tight or disagreements arise between the founders. Successful companies excel in troubled waters and remember their ultimate goal in difficult times.
7) Quick to Adapt.
Successful startups are comfortable with change. Leaders who know how to make smart decisions without a clear roadmap can seize opportunities that the most cautious companies may miss.
8) Know how to attract investors.
Money talks in the business world. Without seed funds, businesses can never get up. Smart business leaders know how to raise capital to give their million-dollar ideas a chance.
9) Trust.
Startups need an unwavering commitment to their mission and goals. Without confidence that the company will succeed, the startup will dissolve in the face of initial obstacles.
10) Efficient time managers.
There is no downtime when it comes to startups. If the leaders of a company are not dedicated 24 hours a day, success is unlikely.
11) Execution.
Anyone can have a million dollar idea. It takes courage and strategy to put an idea into action. Knowing how to execute distinguishes successful businesses from those that fail.
