5 Tips For First Time Entrepreneurs by Yorubago(f): 8:38pm On Dec 15, 2015
Are you a first time entrepreneur? Are you worried about how to go about it? Do not fret? We at Angel startups have collated five ways to help you as you start out.

1. Brand yourself.
No matter what you do, it is important to have a strong personal brand. As an entrepreneur, branding yourself is your only real security.

2. Write down what you learn.
Writing down the things you learn on a daily basis is important too. Some days are harder than others, and having a journal of all of the things you’ve learned will give you strength when you’re feeling weak.

Learning is an asset, and your lessons can help give you reassurance when you feel like giving up. It can be that "money in the bank" when there's actually not any money in the bank, and give you the courage to keep fighting

3. Use LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a very effective business tool. You can network with pretty much anyone, read blog posts and show off your accomplishments and expertise on your profile.

4. Get a part-time job.

If you don’t have regular income coming in from your startup yet, get a job, even if you have support or savings. It will help alleviate your monetary stresses, which can create an unhealthy mental state.
You need to be strong as possible to take over the world through business, and the last thing you want to think about is how to pay rent next month. Plus, at your part-time job, you can tell everyone about your new business, and potentially gain users, clients or customers depending on what type of business you’re creating.

5. Don’t ever give up.
If you’re an entrepreneur, be an entrepreneur. Don’t listen to the naysayers. If you fail with one idea, start another. You’re an entrepreneur, no matter what, whether up or down, success or failure, you’re always an entrepreneur. Remember that.
