“Whatever you persistently allow to occupy your thoughts will magnify in your life.” -Dennis Kimbro, PhD., Author, Small Business Consultant, and Lecturer for Napoleon Hill Foundation

Your reason for becoming an entrepreneur or having a business of your own is first spark that motivates you to do so. A successful business is determined by how often you are motivated and in balancing various stages of your life. Planning every step that is well thought out is key to having continuous success in your business.

In order to start a business, it only takes one thought. In order to grow any enterprise, business, or entrepreneurship it requires a series of steps that must be actively and consistently developed. To keep your business successful, it must be given constant thought and attention. Your thoughts can empower you, give you energy, or make you act on your desire. Only you can decide which thoughts you must focus on to guide you toward your success.

When your thoughts are expressed to others, they become a reflection of who you are. They can project themselves onto others. So, take charge of your thoughts. Think about how you feel, and how those emotions affect you and carry you through life. These emotions when joined with your motivations determine your end result.

The manner in which your thoughts are displayed, not only in your business but, in your daily life serve a useful purpose. Therefore, it’s important to understand where you direct your thoughts. Focus on good thoughts and keep negative thoughts and feelings under control. Unpleasant thoughts can turn your customers - and friends, away.
