Ways to Create a Successful Business<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

Looking to run a successful business? You can <\/span>create success<\/span><\/b> and become a role model in your industry with hard work, determination, and by following these 4 tips and strategies. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip One: Think BIG<\/span><\/h2>\n

Successful business owners must <\/span>Think BIG.<\/span><\/b> No matter how bold or ambitious your plans, you can multiply them by 100 or even 10,000 percent. Here\u2019s how:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identify what success looks like<\/span><\/b>.<\/b><\/span> Success starts with defining what it means to you. Whether it’s revenue, growth, or partnerships, identifying your goal is key.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Know your why<\/span><\/b>.<\/b><\/span> Clarify your purpose and <\/span>know your “why.” Once your WHY is clear, the WHAT and HOW will naturally follow.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Plan for success.<\/span><\/b> It\u2019s vital for you to set short-, medium-, and long-term SMARTIE goals. Involve your team and track the daily progress you make. Embrace challenges, learn from them, and work on improving.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thinking BIG requires perseverance, resilience, and continuous learning. To create a successful business, you need to believe in yourself, surround yourself with supportive people, work toward your goals step by step, and celebrate every accomplishment.<\/span> <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Tip Two: Diversify <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The global energy economy is creating abundant job opportunities. Renewable energy is expected to generate thousands of jobs in technology, construction, utilities, manufacturing, and more. Unfortunately, minority-owned businesses and workers are still underrepresented in the industry.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    According to the American Clean Power (ACP) association<\/a>, women make up just 30% of the clean energy workforce, and black workers 8%. Women occupy only 15% of energy corporate boards, and people of color just 6% of them. The industry needs to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in hiring practices. ACP is working to gain insights into diversity approaches, and companies should adopt an open-minded approach to value all employee skills. We should all come together and collaborate to build a more diverse and resilient clean energy industry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Tip Three: Evaluate<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
