Love what you do. It's the raw passion that keeps most entrepreneurs and business models improving. By enjoying what a company produces or the service it offers will keep a person focused to overcome even the largest obstacles.

Learn from others. Having worked in the industry or studied an industry for a period of time creates the desire and knowledge to implement a new idea that would improve the industry.

Constantly take action. Having the drive and commitment to work 24/7, have no sick days and no holidays during the start-up phase is imperative, and is a clear indicator of a desire to succeed.

Make a plan. Create a 10 page plan that covers start up ideas, financing sources and an action plan to achieve success is a must for any business start- up.

It's never too late to start. Many entrepreneurs started up in later life after building an understanding of business or an industry. They then utilized that experience to start their own business.

Be mindful of your attitude. The attitude of the founder will set the tone for the business. Negativity, laziness and entitlement waste time and money while they tarnish reputation. Success largely depends on making mistakes and accepting blame in stride. Owning up to and facing challenges head-on is what makes a business owner a leader.

Take baby steps. Risk management is an essential factor in any start-up, and balance is vital. Entrepreneurs can absorb losses more easily if they take smaller risks in the beginning. Those will provide essential and productive lessons.

Learn how to self-promote. Confidence and a good elevator speech can take any pitch to the next level. The first marketing any company experiences comes from its founder. Spend time learning how to share vision without coming across as "salesy." Don't be afraid to ask for the sale, but remember: the client is always the focus.

Olympus Marketing Inc. believe it is important for entrepreneurs to succeed as wealth and a high majority of jobs are created by small businesses started by entrepreneurially minded individuals; many of whom go on to create big businesses. People exposed to entrepreneurship frequently express that they have more opportunity to exercise creative freedoms, higher self-esteem, and have an overall greater sense of control over their own lives.

Olympus Marketing Inc. believe the key to business success lies in creating a positive customer experience and have spent years within the industry to develop strategies that boost customer loyalty and increase customer satisfaction.
