Video: Survival As An Entreprenuer

This video talks about many personal challenges with which every entrepreneur struggles. Having been through many of these experiences myself, I attest that much of what is said in the video is true. I recommend this video to all those 99ers embarking on entrepreneurship



Some thoughts I'd like to highlight:

Do not worry about the prospect of failure. Instead of worrying, focus your energy on positive thoughts and building a plan.

Adapt to the changing phases of your business. Sometimes everything will go your way, other times nothing will go as planned. 

Practice optimistic thinking. An optimistic thinker sees person-to-person interactions as a possible client, friend, partner, or employee. A pessimistic thinker perceives each personal encounter as a challenge, a threat, or something with a harmful connotation.  A pessimistic thinker might call themselves a risk taker while an optimistic thinker shouts opportunist.

Learn to absorb rejections, disappointments, and setbacks.

Exude confidence by knowing your strengths. Humans naturally feel comfortable working with confident people.
