English: Having a successful business is not about ideas. It is about making those ideas happen.

Rutooro: Kutunga bizinesi ekurakuraine, tikiri kugira ebitekerezo byonka baitu kutekka ebitekerezo ebyo munkora

English: Set goals and have a plan for your business success. Without a clear destination, it is all too easy to get lost along the way or to make decisions that take your business in the wrong direction.

Rutooro: Wetereho emitendera norulengo rwokukurakuranisa bizinesi yawe. Obworaba otakikozire, noija kumalirra okozere encwamu embi eyeratwara bizinesi mumuhanda gutahikire

English: It takes time to grow and build a customer base. Be patient and do not be discouraged when you don’t see immediate results, rather, keep working hard. Once you’ve established yourself and built a good reputation, word-of-mouth will spread and your business will prosper.

Rutooro: Nikyetagisa obwire bakasitoma kukwetegereza. Gumisiriza otahwaha amaani nobworaba otakozire kurungi, baitu ikara nokora namaani. Obworamaliriza kuhamya bizinesi yawe kurungi, abantu nibaija kugambirangana kandi bizinesi yawe ekurakurane

If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. And, if you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.

No business can afford not to move forward. It may be at the top of the heap today but at the bottom of the heap tomorrow, if it doesn’t.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it

See things in the present, even if they are in the future.

Money is like gasoline during a road trip. You don’t want to run out of gas on your trip, but you’re not doing a tour of gas stations.

Don’t worry about failure; you only have to be right once.

The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.

The only way you are going to have success is to have lots of failures first

Do not be embarrassed by your failures. Learn from them and start again. The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me

Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great

Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical.

English: Provide exceptional service to keep your customers coming back.

Rutooro: Bawembaganiza mubuhereza bwawe nukwo ba kasitoma bawe baikalege nibagaruka

English: Do you know your target market? If you do, you will position yourself to meet their needs.

Rutooro: Omanyire nibaha abarukwetaga ebintu rundi obuhereza bwawe? Obworaba nkimanye, weteke harulengo rwokubahereza kusigikirra habyetago byabo

English: Hire the right people for your business to ensure business growth. Avoid redundant staff; they are a cost to you.

Rutooro: Kozesa abantu abobulyo mu bizinesi yawe nukwe ekurakurane. Oyetantale abakozi aborwandaro habwokuba nibakugarra enyuma

English: Always welcome client feedback because it helps you make changes to your product/service, as well as improve your marketing and customer service strategies.

Rutooro: Ontangirre kandi ohulirize bakasitoma bawe ebibarukugambira hali bizinesi rundi obuhereza bwawe habwokuba kinu nikikuyamba kuhinduramu hobwoburungi bwa bizinesi yawe.
