Mindset And Business

Running a business can be a very up and down thing. There are times where everything is going great and you're making a lot of progress in your business but there are also times when you may feel stuck, or out of new ideas. This can be a very discouraging feeling and is not an easy thing to overcome. That being said, what I have noticed is my mindset surrounding my business directly affects my progress. On weeks where I am feeling a little more discouraged I tend to put less effort in, and thus get less results versus weeks where I am feeling really good and have a more positive mindset surrounding my progress in my business. My latest goal for myself has been to find ways to recognize and correct any negative thoughts or feelings I may have about my business sooner rather than later. I have been able to do this by doing a few different things...

1) Taking short breaks to check in with myself and how I am feeling so I can readjust if needed.

2) Creating a list of "little wins" that I can look at whenever I feel discouraged

3) Asking for help from people around me whenever I need new ideas or even just a little encouragement.

As I have started to put these techniques into practice I have noticed that I am feeling a lot better about the work I am doing and I am slowly but surely seeing more steady progress in my business.
