Batyrev not only shares his experience, tells real cases from practice, but also gives practical advice on how to become a successful businessman. Here are some of them:
Before you start your own business, gain experience: learn to play by the rules that are established in your chosen field. There is absolutely no point in organizing a business without having any idea what rules it is run by. Before you start your own company, work for some time in any management position.
Never do the work for your employees, even if no one can complete it better than you. As soon as the specialists feel weak, they will immediately stop making efforts - but what's the point if the manager does everything himself?
"Customers are our everything." Customer focus is the basis of a successful business. Use all available resources, spend your personal time, but be sure to solve the client's problem - it will return to you a hundredfold. And train all staff to this approach.
If you dream of becoming a successful businessman, but have not found the necessary qualities in yourself, do not despair. There are very few truly talented people in the world who have a natural business acumen. First of all, an entrepreneur is a person who makes himself, this is a person who truly loves what he does. Love your business or find an occupation to your liking, and you will undoubtedly be able to turn it into a successful lifelong business.
