Habits Of An Entrepreneur

As a former athlete and an entrepreneur for over 25 years, I have learned that mindset is everything!  If your mind is weak and wanders, your success will wane.

You must be able to keep your composure in spite of others or outside influences.

You must be able to press on when the wind and the rain are blowing in your face.

If you do, you will be richly rewarded and you will know the feeling of accomplishment and that your perseverance has paid off.  Very few people actually experience this.  Do you have what it takes to be one of them?

As an entrepreneur, you know what you want.  You are laser focused and willing to sacrifice so that with time and effort, you will be living your passion.


7 Habits To Cultivate On Your Journey To Pursuing Your Passion


1)    Pursue Your Passion – If you are truly passionate about something your blood will rush and your heart rate will increase when you think about it and are in the planning stages.  Once you start taking action this will build and you will truly enjoy what you are doing, no matter the sacrifice or effort you need to invest.  This passion becomes your purpose and you know you are moving in the right direction.

2)    Be Optimistic – When you are happy you will perform better.  Promise yourself that you will remain strong and focused and that you will not let outside influences disturb your peace of mind.

3)    Remain Balanced – Yes, your passion is your purpose, but to remain healthy, you cannot only focus on one thing in life.  You need balance in work and play, and you need to take care of your health.  If you are not physically healthy, your mental energy will wane and you will not be able to focus on your passion or your end goal.

4)    Nurture Relationships – If you feel that you meaningfully connect with other people, whether it be with a spouse, child, friend or business partner or co-worker, you will be much happier and healthier.  Treat those people how you want to be treated and be conscious of the words you use.  Give them the respect that you want to receive.  When you have offended one of them, be a strong person and forgive.  This is where you develop kindness and character.  Be honorable and a person of integrity.
 
5)    Lead From The Front – As an entrepreneur, you are a leader.  It is your goal to empower others.  The best way to do this is to lead by example. 

6)    Be Willing To Grow –You need to be open to embracing new ideas and new ways of doing things.  This will help you to overcome any obstacle. Successful entrepreneurs continually educate themselves and seek personal and professional growth daily.

7)    Express Gratitude – Don’t forget to be grateful, and don’t keep it all to yourself.  Express it.  Be vocal.  Make a habit out of expressing your gratitude.  There is always something to be grateful for.  Get up grateful for the day before you and go to bed with gratitude for all you have.


Cultivating new habits can take time, but it is worth the effort.  Practice them in all areas of your life, personal and professional.  Habits take time to develop, but if you are a true entrepreneur, with persistence and a proper mindset, you can live your passion.  Develop these habits and expect success!
