Building a big business is possible only if you believe in yourself. It is not going to be easy. But you can do it if you believe in yourself, why you are doing it, and your power to make it happen.

‘Always say yes, and work out the how later.’

According to Olivia Carr, ‘There are no rules in business. You are allowed to change your business model, pivot at any moment, do whatever it takes to make your business and yourself a success. Don’t let old thinking or fear of what others will think hold you back.’

‘The key to taking risks is to find the right balance.’

‘Life and business are about choices: some you make consciously and others, unconsciously.’

‘It’s also important to note that there is no end point with inner work. It’s a constant journey and one in which you can continue for the rest of your life.’

Commit to taking small daily actions towards your vision.’

The better you are at handling your own personal finances and budget, the easier you will find managing your business cash flow.’

‘Don’t find customers for your products, find products for your customers.’

Learning to prioritise your own needs and emoti0nal health can help you to become more resilient and to better manage the challenges that arise in your personal and professional life.’

Adversity reveals character, and the harder the challenge, the more you need to dig deep, get creative and resourceful, try multiple things until something works and then you repeat this process over and over until you have overcome the hurdle you were faced.’

Building positive and mutually rewarding relationships in business is another critical foundation for becoming self-made and successful in business.’

Connection and feeling connected-truly connected- is a basic human need.’

If you don’t like what is going on in your life, then you have got to change your day.

Focus on others, not on yourself. Serve others, not yourself. That is how you are going to change your day.

‘Serving others requires a shift of focus toward the way you work, rather than the outcome of your work. It requires a shift in focus from feeling threatened or ‘under fire’ at work, to feeling challenged and useful.’

You can do it. To change your day, according to Andy Core, ‘Refuse to complain. Instead, infuse your day with expressions of appreciation and gratitude.’

Make it a goal to change the atmosphere in your workplace or home to one of relational strength, not stress. Remember to serve, and not shine.’

Settle on a set of patterns and attitudes that you believe will gain you the greatest possible fulfillments and satisfaction. And then stick with those patterns and attitudes. Don’t budge from them.’

Explore more of the ‘inner you.’ Choose to create an attitude that becomes the atmosphere in which you live and work.’

Think about mini-patterns now so you don’t have to think about it later.’

Decide where you need to jump in and make a change in your day.’

Be honest with yourself and own up to your junk hours.’

Take time to reflect on the way your daily behaviors produce attitudes, feelings, and ideas.’

‘Be a DO-KNOW-BE: Lasting motivation is an experiential lesson.’

‘Remember, ‘Nothing in your life gets better until your daily patterns do. But, when your daily patterns get better, everything gets better.’
