Ronald Kister: Entrepreneurial Tips for Professionals

Ronald Kister has always preferred to do things himself. Even when it comes to basic home projects, he would rather work on them himself than call a technician or professional. “I like any kind of technical or mechanical challenge, and the work that goes along with learning the correct way of doing things,” he says.


He founded RKJ Consulting in 2013. He provides clients with IT management, strategic planning, project leadership and governance, risk management, and compliance services. As the principle owner, his experience includes being an entrepreneur. Here are some entrepreneurial tips for professionals working in any field.

Learn how to enjoy taking risks. You won’t be able to make any financial decision without accepting at least a minimal risk. However, risk taking doesn’t need to cause the entrepreneur anxiety. Learn to enjoy taking risks, otherwise being your own boss might not be your best career choice.


Research is the key to success as an entrepreneur. Make sure that you research every opportunity before making a final decision. If the risks outweigh the possible rewards, it’s probably a good idea not to be a part of it. Don’t be afraid to back out of a decision if the research tells you that you should.
Keep an idea journal for inspiration. Entrepreneurs are constantly coming up with ideas throughout the day, especially at the weirdest places and times. Keeping a journal of all of your ideas will help you remember everything you thought about during the day, and it will also help you sort the good from the bad.
