Be likable: top habits of likable people

When you meet someone new, do they like you at first, you think? What if you realize that a lot of people don't like you? What if you suck at the small talk?

It's best to realize that the first five minutes of meeting someone is the most important, you'd want to tweak yourself a bit to become much more likable.

Here are some tips:

• Always talk about something genuine. Don't make every conversation about business. Be yourself, but in a business-like way. You don't want to reveal personal details too much in a conversation that might involve a potential business clientele.
• Also, realize that everyone is probably better than you at something. Don't be insecure, but rather let them be better than you.
• Humble yourself, and allow people to talk about themselves as well. Let them be better, and avoid the ego.
• Don't be afraid to show some vulnerability, kind of like being humble. When people realize you have soft spots too, they won't mind warming up to you!
  

Budding entrepreneur? START NOW!

What do you tell yourself all the time when you're thinking about being an entrepreneur? What is the real story behind your dream? Why skip following your dream?

You qualify your first step to being an entrepreneur  by dreaming, thinking of the problem you want to focus on, and planning out a map of your future. Is it that simple? The beginning may seem like a simple process, but it may not be. It is the most important part of the work.

Great companies have been built by innovators who saw a problem (an opportunity!), where they could put together a qualified solution. They marketed it to the right customers, and succeeded. How do you reach the right customers? That's the challenge!
