Top Tips
Don't let negative energy bring you down
It’s difficult to look on the bright side when you’re surrounded by negativity. Sometimes, we unknowingly give toxic individuals influence over our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Dealing with negativity can be quite a downer. It's important to regain your personal power.
Seek out positive people to keep you balanced. Just like negative people can rub off on you, a positive person can brighten your spirit. Decide that you're not going to allow negative people to determine how you think, feel, and behave. Take back your power and focus your time and energy on becoming your best self.
The only person you have control over is you, so focus on your happiness. Rise above and remain positive.
Develop resiliency on being an entrepreneur
Resilience is achieved through the consistent progress we make each day towards our goals. It is the ability to get up one more than you fall down.
As the saying goes, "Fall down seven times, get up eight"
As an entrepreneur, starting a business requires a lot of work - emotionally, physically and spiritually. It’s a never-ending path of setbacks, challenges, and potential roadblocks from start to finish. The struggles may be inevitable, but the way you frame your setbacks is completely up to you, and may be the very thing that helps you succeed.
