Every successful entrepreneur knows that a business is only as strong as its people. Surrounding yourself with top-notch "A players" is not just nice to have; it's a non-negotiable factor for you achieving your goals and making a lasting impact. As Jack Welch famously put it, "If you pick the right people... you almost don't have to manage them.”

However, in today's competitive job market, attracting and keeping those talented individuals takes more than just a good salary and a ping pong table in the break room.

Think of top talent like buried treasure. Successful entrepreneurs have mastered the art of finding the treasure, onboarding the crew to dig it up, and ensuring the ship stays happily sailing to its destination. Let's break down their strategies into five main steps:

By doing so, you'll not only gain a crucial competitive advantage, you will also position your company as the premier destination for the most talented professionals eager to advance their careers. This commitment to excellence is what sets great companies apart from good ones.

Okay, let's be honest – we all want that little extra edge in life, right? That unwavering determination that helps you get things done, no matter what.

Well, guess what? Navy SEALs have that grit in spades, and the good news is that you can actually learn a thing or two from them. It's about how you think and talk to yourself!

Mental Toughness: It's Not Just for Battlefields

We tend to think of Navy SEALs as superhuman warriors, and they can be pretty darn tough out in the field, that’s for sure. What really sets them apart is their mental resilience.

It's about pushing through discomfort, fear, and doubt to keep going even when you want to quit. That kind of toughness is a game-changer in any area of life.

Let’s explore 5 steps to help you think and talk to yourself like a Navy Seal.

Okay, let's get real for a minute. Changing your mindset and self-talk patterns doesn't happen overnight, especially if you're used to being negative which many people are by nature. It's like a muscle – you must train it consistently to strengthen it.

80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy!

95% of our thoughts are the same each day, and on average, 80% of our thoughts are negative!

Your Turn to Take Action

Remember, adopting the Navy SEAL mindset isn't about becoming a different person. It's about unlocking the potential that's already within you. You've got the grit and determination – now it's time to unleash it.

Entrepreneurs are extremely driven and have a knack for getting what they want. Though they’re often under immense pressure and juggle multiple responsibilities, the best entrepreneurs seem to handle everything with grace while still coming out on top. So, what types of behaviors allow them to get ahead and win that we can implement?

Let’s explore eight habits that successful entrepreneurs swear by. Whether you’re just beginning your entrepreneurial journey or find yourself questioning your next move, you can find inspiration and direction from these eight habits.

Nearly half (42.6%) of entrepreneurs fear failure, despite evidence that business owners need to be comfortable with failure and learn from the experience. This fear of not succeeding is what’s detrimental to businesses, not the failure itself. The fear of failure is obviously bad for your business, so you need to quickly learn to overcome it.

How an entrepreneur deals with failure impacts how their direct reports bounce back from them also.

Do you want to boost your business’ profitability and more quickly lead your company to even greater success? Many times, the best thing we can do is look at how others achieved their success that we want for ourselves. So, if you want to experience and enjoy your ideal business and ideal life, let’s look at what wealthy people are doing. You may not be able to afford their limos, mansions, and designer clothes just yet; however, their successful habits are free for you to adopt, as soon as you are ready.

What is the definition of a habit?

So we are all on the same page, a habit is something that a person does often in a regular and repeated way. It is any regularly repeated behavior that requires little or no thought and is learned rather than innate. A habit—which can be part of any activity, ranging from eating and sleeping to thinking and reacting—is developed through reinforcement and repetition.

Let’s now take a look at the 12 success habits that wealthy, self-made people have in common.

Self-made millionaires agree on one thing—building wealth is a multi-faceted approach, and habits play a huge part in it. Thankfully, it costs little to nothing to adopt these 12 wealth-building behaviors. With a little effort, patience, and persistence, you can make one, two, or all of these habits part of your life to help you achieve the wealth you’ve been dreaming of!

Entrepreneurship involves a unique blend of relentless passion, calculated risk, and a healthy dose of self-belief. However, to take that initial spark of an idea and transform it into a truly thriving, scalable enterprise requires something more: Efficiency. It's about maximizing your use of that most valuable resource – time.

According to a study by the Kauffman Foundation, only about 25% of startups actually survive beyond seven years. A key reason? Lack of focus and inefficient use of time by the founders.

The Power of Focus: Identifying Your Highest Payoff Activities
