So many people, women, in particular, wonder if they could possibly be good business owners. The best way to overcome this is by learning how to think like an entrepreneur. I know that sounds a little far fetched, but so much of your success in business comes first from your thoughts, feelings, and how you take action. That’s why I’m sharing my top tips on how to think like an entrepreneur. Which all starts with… Not thinking. It’s true. The first step is to stop allowing your thoughts to keep you from taking action in the first place. Step away from the negative self-talk and the limiting beliefs and know that if you truly desire it, then you’re meant to start that business. Once your desire is in place, ask yourself what the best way to achieve it is. That is a very important question to really sit in and figure out the ways in which you can make your desire come true quickly and efficiently. Keep this question in mind as you grow your business and you’re considering new directions. Also, don’t be afraid to take risks. A business owner’s life is filled with moments where risk is involved and becoming comfortable with taking risks is imperative to growth. Every decision you make in your business has some risk associated with it. Just embrace the risk and do what makes the most sense in the moment. But always try to look at your decisions based on where you want to go, not where you’re at right now. If you want to run a multi-six-figure business, don’t make decisions based on your current situation. Take action now toward your dream and make it a point to continue making those higher level decisions throughout! Listen in to hear all of the ways you can switch your mindset and start thinking like an entrepreneur. Your mindset is a constant work in progress and it starts with your thinking. Shift your thoughts and you’ll see huge growth in your life and business. In this Episode: [01:41] Why becoming a business owner was less about thought and more about action for Emily.
