Chapter 5 - What Does Having A Good Attitude Mean To You?

 The topic of attitude comes up a lot in entrepreneurship. 

The reason for this is because not everyone has the type of “good attitude” that can carry them through their entrepreneurial journey. The words “good attitude” could mean different things to different people reading this post, but at the end of the day the principle stays the same and fortunately, or unfortunately entrepreneurship is all about attitude.

That is why today’s blog post is about the type of attitude that I believe you should have as an Entrepreneur.

In the week I was thinking about the kind of attitude I would like to have as an entrepreneur. I had studied a lot of entrepreneurs throughout my life, and they all seem to have one thing in common. They believe that they can do anything. This led me to forming my own philosophy about entrepreneurship, while adopting principles from some of theirs. 

My philosophy and advice is this:

If you are a new or aspiring entrepreneur you should have an “I can do” attitude, and you should always know that you are going places. Delete the words “impossible” and “I am going to fail if I try this” from your vocabulary. Work on developing the kind of attitude where you don’t wait on anybody, or wait for the perfect moment, or for someone to be in the right mood for you to get things done.

Always keep in mind that not every day is going to be a simple day, or an easy one to go through because no matter who you are, you will always have some form of challenges you are going through, whether it be with your children, your business, or with your spouse. However, no matter how big you think your problem is, always remember that you have an abundance of opportunities that you can take advantage of. All you need to do in order to take advantage of those opportunities, is to give it your best effort, and develop an attitude that helps you sustain all the body shots you will be receiving.

Page 110 - Challenging Your Beliefs and Achieving Your Dreams

What is one of the things that is drilled into us from a very young age? Well, that's easy! Don't swear... As most people are aware, from a very young age most of us are taught to not use profanity, but unfortunately most of us are not taught how to not use “bad language”.  The type of bad language I am talking about are things like this: I can’t do this, you cannot achieve that, you will never be like this person because you are lazy, if you don’t pull up your socks you will never accomplish anything in life, I will never be as good as this guy, and unfortunately this is a list that goes on and on forever. This type of bad language acts as the catalyst that fuels our limiting belief structure. If you allow yourself to use this type of bad language in your day to day conversations, you will at some point open yourself up and allow other people to impose their limiting beliefs onto you as well. That is why it is very important to be aware of the type of language you are using, b...

Page 100 - The Page About Questions

 This week I want to talk to you about the power of asking questions. Asking questions must be one of the most important tools any successful entrepreneur has in their arsenal. Simply put, asking the right questions can increase your likely hood of success, and help you connect better with the world around you. The main reason why people feel uncomfortable about asking questions is because they think that there are right and wrong questions, however, this is not the case. Asking questions helps to keep you engaged with the people around you, and it also opens a bridge to being taught something new. A few years ago there was a study published by Harvard Business Review and Mu Sigma (https://hbr.org/2015/03/relearning-the-art-of-asking-questions), which found that out of 200 people with children, 70% - 80% of their children’s dialog consisted of questions, and out of those same 200 people 15% - 20% of their own interactions consisted of questions.  Now, why is this important? We...

Page 95: Learn to Process Issues

In the game of life and entrepreneurship, you are constantly presented with “What if…?” situations. These types of situations can either make or break you as an entrepreneur. In my life I have experienced a multitude of these questions, and I feel like the trick to answering them is to not get intimidated by the question. A lot of the time when we are dealing with certain situations in life, our brains automatically try to reason the situation out, as being either best case or worst case scenarios. This is just human nature, and it is one of the many challenges you will face as an entrepreneur. To truly become a great entrepreneur, you need to become great at processing issues. Whenever something goes wrong, it’s almost always because of a calculation, or processing error. But, this isn’t a bad thing. When something goes wrong it allows us to take a step back, and try come up with reasons to why that specific thing went wrong. By following this process of trial and error, it teaches us...
