Nobody understands.
Have you ever felt this way?
The journey of entrepreneurship can be a turbulent one. It stretches your mental capacity, and your emotions on a daily basis.
And as you go through all the ups and downs that come your way, if you’re not connected with other business owners, it may seem like everything you experience is unique to you.
But if you talk to enough entrepreneurs, you’ll quickly learn that many of the struggles they experience are similar. The details may be different, but there are a number of other dreamers who have had challenges quite similar to yours.
There are many battles you have to fight when it comes to building your business.
There are challenges like knowing how to get started, where to find clients, or even how to not let social media suck hours of your life away each day.
But honestly, those obstacles are nothing when compared to the battles that go on in your head.
And it’s how you respond to those pesky mental barriers, that ultimately will determine your level of success as an entrepreneur.
Do you like to hang out in your comfort zone? In a world filled with uncertainty, it seems like a great place to be. But if you stay there too long, you’ll end up settling for a business and life that’s less than you’re capable of. Find out why, and get actionable steps to take to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Do you believe in soul mates?
In life, do you believe that there is that perfect person who is best for you? That one person that when you find each other, the two of you are destined to live life happily ever after?
Whether you embrace this concept in love or not, in business soul mates totally exist.
For every business, there is the perfect customer. And when your business is united with that ideal customer, magic happens.
You’re able to serve and delight this client like none other. And she won’t be able to get enough of what you have to offer. No other option will do.
Finding and serving your ideal customer is essential if you want to build a business that thrives.
So in the rest of this post I’ll go over what you need to do to figure out who your ideal client is.
Working for someone else can totally suck.
The people in charge tell you what projects to work on. They determine how much money you make. They’ve got a point of view on just about every aspect of your daily work.
Frustrating, isn’t it? Especially if you want to do work that maximizes your talents and abilities.
But as a business owner, you don’t have these worries.
You’re in charge. You can run your business exactly the way you want to. And since you’re the boss, of course things work out the way they’re supposed to.
The truth is, most businesses don’t work this way.
Successful entrepreneurs know their businesses do well because they’re not the boss. Here’s why.
Lots of businesses both large and small, treat their customers as if they don’t want them to stick around.
They treat them like a transaction. Like people whose money they want to take, and then shoo them away as quickly as possible.
But if you want to do well in your business, you’ll recognize that this isn’t a smart strategy at all. That’s because smart business owners know that the biggest prize in their business requires them to take a completely different approach with their customers. Find out.
“It’s really hard to find like-minded people.”
Have you ever felt that way?
Have you found it tough to find good people to surround yourself with as you build your business?
If so, you’re not alone. It’s a frustrating feeling to know you need a rockstar crew, but not being sure about how to find them.
And that’s no bueno.
So today we change all that.
Today, I’ll pull back the curtain on a simple way I personally use to find multiples of all four of the people needed to build a rockstar business.
Ever felt like you just needed to be pointed in the right direction? You can have a guide that will whisper in your ear which steps you should take to get to your Promised Land for your business. All you have to do is invest the time to take the right first step. Then you’ll be on your way to building a booming business.
Finding the confidence you need to build the business can be tough. But not letting fear keep you from moving forward is an important aspect of being an entrepreneur. In this interview, find out how Henneke, founder of Enchanting Marketing overcomes her self-doubt to build and grow her business.
Does a mean person live in your head? Many of us deal with a vicious inner voice, also known as imposter syndrome, or the Resistance. But if you don’t find a way to silence that inner voice, you’ll never be able to build a business. Check out this post to find out how to silence that harsh inner voice once and for all.
Have you ever felt like you were wandering aimlessly?
You’re not sitting around doing nothing. You’re busy. You’re putting work in. And time.
But even with all your effort, sometimes it feels like you aren’t any closer to your goals than you were six months ago. And that’s super frustrating.
You have a good idea of where you want to go. You can taste how great things will be once you get to your desired destination.
But instead of taking the direct route to your dream business, it feels like you’re on a never ending detour. Read on to find out how to get pointed in the right direction.
Fear can be paralyzing. Even though most of the time, our fears our never realized. In this interview with Brian Clark, CEO of Copyblogger Media, he talks about the right way to think of fear, how to conquer it, and other tips on growing a booming business.
Ever wonder what the secret weapon was behind all the super successful people? Sometimes it seems like others are building a business with lightning speed, while you move along at a turtle’s pace. That can be frustrating. The truth is, those super successful people do have a secret weapon. And you can have it too. Here’s how.
You can live a lifestyle that you want. One that allows you to do the things you want. Spend time with your loved ones, travel, and afford luxuries you may not have been able to in the past. This is possible. You can also have a business that makes a big difference. You can have them both. You don’t have to choose. Find out how.
Sometimes the path to our business success can be a rocky one. We may fall down. Our worst fears may happen. But we can survive our failures. In fact, you can even thrive after them. But you have to learn from them. And you’ve gotta keep moving forward. That’s just one of things you’ll pick up from my chat with Danny. There’s lots of other good stuff you won’t want to miss in the interview too. Check it.
Ever wonder what the key ingredient was that separates those who have wild success with their business from those that don’t? It’s not money, formal education, or even connections. It’s something you absolutely have the ability to possess. And when you use it appropriately, you’re guaranteed to achieve business success.
Isn’t it a fantastic feeling when you check your bank account and are able to see the fruits of your labor in your business? And when that money does come in, it can be tempting to spend it.
But is spending the money you earn the right thing to do? Or should you save it?
That was the question TRY Business community member Rosemary had. And today’s post is a brief video with my response to her question.
Wondering what you need to do to get your customers to fall head over heels madly in love with you? Wonder no more. In this episode, I chat with Jerod Morris about the tactics he’s using to get his customers to fall head over heels for his new blog www.primility.com.
Wanna know something cool? All the things Jerod’s doing to woo his customers are tips that are included in the eBook 95 Ways to get your customers to love you.
Some entrepreneurs seem to never make a mistake.
It’s as if everything they touch turns to gold.
Their customers love them. They’re eager to scoop up whatever these business owners have to offer.
You look at them and want that same magic touch with your business.
Fortunately for you, you can have it.
And it starts with making the right choice with your niche.
Yesterday I paid a visit to the staff at my favorite hotel. I only left them last week, but I couldn’t stay away. I just love them!
For me, uttering the “L” word doesn’t come easy. But when I say it, I mean it. And with the many businesses these days that do their very best to do nothing more than just satisfy customers, coming across one that I can say I actually love is quite remarkable.
