From my experience with business owners, the most successful ones tend to stand out in a few key ways. They have deep expertise in their industry, trust their abilities, and put customers first. They’re passionate about their work, embrace failure as part of the process, and excel at communication and team building.

They also have a strong sense of timing when it comes to hiring and firing, prioritize long-term vision over short-term wins, and are always looking for ways to improve.
