Stop blaming economy and take complete responsibility for every thought you think and action you take. However much we may try, it is impossible for us to change any one or the, circumstances. Make a commitment to stop blaming economy, people and environment. The only thing that you have complete control is your THOUGHTS. This is easier said than done. Practicing Daily Target Praxis as in Simpleology-101, doing Yoga and using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) have helped many people monitor their thoughts and actions.

Stop undervaluing Yourself and work on raising your self esteem daily-As an Entrepreneur, you are bound to fail several times. As a child you may have been conditioned to punish and reward system. Hence subconsciously you may punish yourself for your failures. This can show up in the form of low self esteem or self neglect. Read ing self help books, writing affirmations and attending seminars on self esteem works very well.

Stop thinking that you know it all, but become a curious student of life and business-After we complete college we are desperate to get an employment thinking that the learning is over. However this is not true for an entrepreneur. Every day you are either learning to do something, train some one or lead some one. Hence commit to read trade publications or listen to training audios or watch How to DVDs on your business and personal development matters.

Stop avoiding money conversation and Make a commitment to learn about money: You may have good or bad connotations about money. To operate as a successful entrepreneur, you have to let go of some of my old /wrong/bad conditioning towards money and allow yourself to learn and absorb prosperity consciousness. The book "Money is my friend" by Phil Laut can help you in this direction.

Stop multitasking, be focused on one task at a time, ensure completion first and then perfection: As entrepreneurs, you will get carried away by new ventures and lose focus OR you may want it all perfect to start something. As woman entrepreneurs, we love to multi task. While multi tasking does benefit moms and corporate workers, it may hurt an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur gets paid for results and not for activity. Hence you must be laser focused in one task at a time, deliver results and get paid faster.

In the initial stages of listing a business for sale, all the attention is placed on getting the business in shape so it presents as strongly as possible, sometimes doing a business valuation to arrive at the most appropriate listing price for the business and discussing the tax implications to the seller of the business. Tom West is the owner of Business Brokerage Press and he has a great saying that most sellers and buyers don’t understand until they get into the negotiations of the transaction and it is – You name the price and I’ll name the terms.
