Keep a Positive Attitude When Facing Entrepreneurial Challenges

Podcast 4: How can you keep a positive attitude when facing major challenges as an entrepreneur?   Move around and take time to do things you like to do. When at work, get up from your desk and out of the office for breaks throughout the day. And when away from the office, do some physical activity you like to do. That may be playing golf, taking yoga, running, or just spending time outdoors. Create a support group. Whether it’s a spouse, friend, family member, associate, etc., you need to find someone who can give you positive encouragement and listen to you vent about your issues and problems. It’s not good if you keep everything bottled up inside, and sometimes if you say what’s on your mind, solutions become more evident. Set a reminder. Write “think positive” on a post-it note and place it on your desk, put a rubber band around your wrist, place a photo of someone less fortunate in front of you, or make a list of the top 10 things you are thankful at the moment… whatever works for you to remind you that things aren’t so bad and you have a lot to be happy about.
