Dr. Ammar Idlibi is a pediatric dentist who had ambitions to one day own his own practice. As a result, he took a particular interest in business and entrepreneurship. Being an entrepreneur is no easy task, and requires discipline, perseverance, and an ability to adapt to any situation. Thankfully many other successful businessmen and women have shared advice on how to become a better entrepreneur.
One important thing to recognize is that fear can paralyze you. It is often easy to know your own strengths. Facing and fixing your weaknesses however can cause people to shut down, as they would rather avoid the problem that handle it. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of standing in their own way. A successful entrepreneur does not let fear stop them from self-improvement.
Another way to be a better entrepreneur is to learn balance in work and in your personal life. This is a real challenge, as sometimes the lines between your personal and professional life get blurred, especially as an entrepreneur. So it is important to stay passionate about your work, but not let it consume you and cause you to neglect other things that you love, such as your spouse, children, friends, or family.
Dr Ammar Idlibi has now fulfilled his dream of becoming the owner of his own dental practice, and hasn’t started one, but three. He has learned that becoming a better entrepreneur is a matter of conquering fear, being persistent, and keeping a good balance of his personal and professional life.
