Entrepreneurial Success Is In your Head

Italy road up Entrepreneurial Success Is In your Head

What you are thinking on the inside reflects in your attitude, words and results on the outside.

Guys, have you ever asked a female, “What’s wrong?”  You received the dreaded “nothing.”  You know better, she knows better.  Even worse, you are no closer to a solution.  Your thoughts, or at least the general tone of those thoughts, reflect to everyone around you.  I am just as guilty as other females of doing this “nothing” comment.

Have you ever asked your teenager “How was school today?”  Sometimes we receive a grunt and sometimes it is “fine” Have you ever asked your spouse “How was work today?”  That answer can either be a full dissertation on a word by word basis or that same “fine” which actually sounds like “I don’t want to talk about it.  Don’t ask.”

Locking emotions up inside prolongs the agony and stifles solutions.  Even more than avoiding any possible solutions to the issue, it makes everyone around you uncomfortable.  How do you feel when a boss, co-worker, family member or friend does that to you?

Entrepreneurial success depends on a positive attitude and open communication.  If you can not communicate with your employees, co-workers and clients, your business is doomed.  Equally critical is a positive attitude.  The more you lock off your communication, the more you chase away your entrepreneurial success.

A positive attitude and open communication are Siamese twins; it requires both to achieve entrepreneurial success.  Without a positive internal attitude, you will never project a positive external attitude.  The best actor or actress in the world can only sustain a role for a limited period of time.  Hiding your feelings or “fake it until you make it” has a limited shelf life.  Just as you see through the mood of others around you, they see through your mood as well.  Consider for a moment how you feel when you believe someone is either not telling you the entire truth or is intentionally misleading you.  You lose trust in them.  Without trust, you will never achieve entrepreneurial success.
Hiding or faking your thoughts and feelings equals deception.  Pretending to think, feel or speak something different than the truth, will come back to haunt you.  How do you snap out of a funk?  Think of something which makes you happy.  Take a walk to clear your head.  Yes, you could go eat chocolate but that would not be a wise long term solution. Movement and reflecting on positives always increases the positives.

Get your head back into a positive thought pattern.  Bring your feelings back to positive memories.  Focus on all of the good things in your life.

Once your thoughts and feelings are positive, you can openly communicate.  When you open up, the others around you will communicate more freely as well.  The major turning point in your entrepreneurial success is your internal thoughts and feelings.  As Jim Rohn, noted business philosopher said “Work harder on yourself than on your business.”

Positive thoughts and feelings coupled with open communication and you are on your way to entrepreneurial success.
