Five Entrepreneurial lessons from Tyler Perry;
 We all have unique, gifts, talents and abilities. You may have a number of them. The fact is you can’t focus on all ten at the same time and 1) Expect success or 2) Expect us to buy it. Perry encouraged one bewildered entrepreneur during the Q & A session to simply narrow her focus and master one thing, allowing that to become her feeder for future opportunities. He shares that television and the big screen were always a goal of his, but he created his niche and built his following around plays first. Let’s be realistic; No one can trust someone who is identifying himself with a couple of  jobs at the same time.. Even if you can do all of those things, choose what you love more and roll with it then all of your other hidden talents come out once a relationship is built – not on your business card. The general public, won’t take you or your business sensibilities seriously unless you're this tactical.

  Know up front that people will come and go on your journey to success and that is their job. Tyler  identifies them as boosters. Some people are only there to help you push the rocket off the ground. Once you’ve launched, its high time a few folks fell off. Everyone can’t handle where your dreams  are taking you and that’s fine. You just have to be willing to accept that some people come into our lives for a reason and a season. When their time is up, we have to be content with letting them go. . If you have to kick them to the curb for being underhanded, let them go . Either way it goes, understand the gift of good-bye and just let them go. Business will thrive once you do.

Always be a "finisher ".  A good entrepreneur always completes what he starts up. Endurance and patience are hardcore traits  you must possess if you are to become successful. Once you begin something ,prepare yourself to finish it. Don't leave things unsettled!

Learn from your past experiences. Experience is a  lesson of its own , whether positive or negative ,there is always something new to learn ,if you don't learn what you want,you obviously learn what you don't want. our past will always be an idea generator try and utilize it.
