Commitment

To get to where he is today, Errol notes that he has had to invest enough time to understand his audience and build a strategy and often tweak, and optimize what works. 

Pivoting

There are often a lot of unprecedented moments when you are trying to scale your business. Whether it is market-driven or from within the organization, it is crucial to adapt effectively as you push to meet your goals. For Errol, he has had to reinvent his processes along the way and encourages other entrepreneurs to seek alternative solutions when faced with mounting challenges, and never give up on their ventures.

Give it your all

For any entrepreneur, putting your customers and employees first is critical. Interestingly, the more vested you are in providing your expertise, the faster you will accomplish your personal and business goals. Errol encourages other entrepreneurs to be committed and give their all towards, no matter the cost. Deepak Chopra puts it this way; ‘the easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.’

Believe in yourself

Entrepreneurship is all about taking risks. Having self-confidence is the first step to success. Besides, to live a life of high achievement, you must fully believe in yourself and your abilities.
