Your attitude will make or break you, and no matter how much you try to get around it, this simple truth is universal. But it’s not just about believing in yourself as everyone should believe in their ability to succeed. It’s also about good ideas, smart moves, and genuine interest.
What separates a successful business person from an unsuccessful one is simply the system that they used to create that success. This system may be unique to each person, and you may not be able to realize success with another persons techniques. However, it is in realizing the importance of creating your own system that your success will then begin to appear.
How do you do this?
- Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Analyzing your successes or failures too critically always results in lowered achievement. Giving yourself time to grow and learn is a natural part of becoming successful, and it is integral to self and career development.
As you grow, both as a person and as an entrepreneur, certain truths will begin actualize. You may begin to understand how leveraging your time via independent contractors, for example, will cost you more initially, but may result in thousands of dollars of increased revenue later. Without taking the time to try and understand how or what these methods are, you may be losing out on profit and valuable time.
This is why you need to approach your life with all of your doors open. This allows new ideas to enter and exit your perception, and you will eventually find one that makes sense. You may discover it at any time, so you may find it handy to carry around a small notebook to record important thoughts. These days, you can probably just pull out your Palm Treo and type it in.
- Live, breathe, and revel in your goals. Experience your success in your mind, and do whatever you can to make it a reality. Don’t be afraid to work hard if you think that there is the potential for results. And never, ever sell yourself short. Your personal value is the only set price you will ever have: don’t sell yourself for less than you deserve.
When thinking of new strategies or opportunities for success, try to see them from a customers point of view. What might make perfect sense to you may seem confusing or disoriented to them. This is especially important as, without customers, you have no revenue.
And, most importantly, never quit. Push on until you are forced to quit or give up, but never arbitrarily make that choice. Though you may not be seeing success now, it may find you in days, weeks or months from now. Your hard work will pay itself off eventually, just give it time to let it.

When you’ve mentioned your article about Palm Trio vs Crackberry, I remembered that a friend of mine switched from Crackberry to Trio 650 (not the new ones with Windows, but the original Palm) due to the keyboard layout, menu navigation and the battery life…
On topic… I do believe that the most important thing is never quit your original plan and just follow it, eventually you’ll be there where you want to be.
Attitude is everything.
I used to have a No Fear shirt that asked “Are you afraid to die. Or just afraid to live?”
I don’t have the shirt anymore, but I kept the attitude.
Nice shirt..lol
