Success requires the right mindset

Success has everything to do with your mindset and the habits you build for dealing with challenges.

Avoid a victim mentality

Don't become the victim with no control. Accept that change is normal and possibly the reason you saw an opportunity to start your business. Look for new opportunities.

Seek input for the team and mentors

Don't try to carry the weight on your shoulders only. Team members are often closer to the customer and have some valuable insights.ย ย 

Ask advice from peers, your advisory board, outside experts and mentors. Keep an active mentor relationship with a few peers to discuss your business challenges and strategy.

Revisit your goals and business purpose

Don't allow a setback to sidetrack you from your vision. There is seldom one path to a goal, so take the time to re-focus on your vision and find alternate routes to reach it, perhaps using a much better idea than the first.

Ensure to learn from your progress and challenges. A business challenge can remind you that your interests have changed or that you did not use the best path.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
