The Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 brought along a surge of new aspiring entrepreneurs, with a record-breaking level of applications to form new US businesses, hitting a peak of 1.8 million. For entrepreneurs in 2023, the following tips from Dee Agarwal, a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2014 and seasoned C-Suite executive, can prove indispensable.

Capture Trends & Technology

Entrepreneurs must stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in their industry while also being vigilant of their competition's movements. "It's not only important, but essential  to embracing new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and automation to streamline business processes and gain a competitive edge," says Dee Agarwal.

Another critical factor is the rising emphasis on sustainability, which is becoming an increasingly important factor in the success of businesses today. "To stay ahead of the curve, I recommend incorporating eco-friendly practices into daily business operations by reducing waste, using sustainable products, and supporting local communities. Tapping into new technologies that drive efficiencies can be one way to do this," he says. As customers become more environmentally conscious, staying updated with their evolving needs and preferences is vital to gain their trust and loyalty.

Take a Customer-Centric Approach

Being customer-centric is another key factor in achieving success as an entrepreneur. "Personalizing the customer experiences by understanding their needs and preferences while leveraging their feedback to improve products and services continually is essential," points out Dee Agarwal.

In addition, it's crucial to meet customers where they are by building a strong online presence in today's digital age. This can be achieved through the use of social media platforms, and investing in search engine optimization to improve online visibility, while also utilizing online advertising to drive traffic to your website.

Find a Mentor

Networking is a critical component of entrepreneurship, enabling entrepreneurs to expand their reach, build valuable relationships, and discover new opportunities. "Attending industry events, joining business organizations, and connecting with other entrepreneurs can open up new doors for growth and success," Dee Agarwal points out.

Seeking mentorship from experienced professionals is essential for entrepreneurs to gain valuable insights, guidance, and support as they navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship. "Find a mentor who can provide personalized advice and has achieved goals in line with your own," Dee Agarwal recommends.

Entrepreneurship is a challenging yet rewarding journey. By embracing technology, focusing on sustainability, being customer-centric, building a strong online presence, and networking, entrepreneurs can stay ahead of the competition and achieve long-term success in their ventures.
