Several years ago one of my high school students gave me a pin with these letters on it: “NEVER STOP LEARNING.” I love that pin and wear it regularly. It illustrates my philosophy about life in general. No matter what my age is; no matter what my occupation is; no matter where I live, I never want to stop learning.
How many people do you know who never crack a book after high school and/or college? For some strange reason, many people think after they receive that diploma, they have “learned it all” and there is no need to expand their knowledge or exert their energy to improve themselves.
Well, in the entrepreneurial sphere, there are all sorts of reasons to seek self-improvement and to be always learning new techniques through which you can expand your business income.
1.One reason this is necessary is the person running his/her own business must keep motivated. You must keep focused on your goals. There are too many distractions and derailments around us and we can lose our inner direction sometimes unless we stay on track. No one else cares about your business like the owner does (that’s YOU!). And you must keep self-motivated in order to achieve the level of success you are aiming for.
How we perceive ourselves has a great bearing on how successful we are in business. Dr. Joyce Brothers, a well known author, columnist and psychologist says,
“An individual’s self-concept is the core of his personality. It affects every aspect of human behavior: the ability to learn, the capacity to grow and change, the choice of friends, mates and careers. It’s no exaggeration to say that a strong positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life.”You must accept yourself before you can really like anyone else or before you can accept the fact that you deserve success and happiness. You must feel you “deserve” success and happiness before those things will be yours. This is a healthy self-esteem, not an oversized ego.
The person with a poor self-image can easily see how positive thinking, goal setting would work for others, but not for himself.
Every one of us has weaknesses, faults and some overbearing traits. On the other hand, we also have some outstanding positive traits we are particularly known for. We are unique, one-of-a-kind and an exclusive!
As we begin to work with numerous people in order to build our business, those little irksome personal traits will spring their heads and before long, we can feel defeated and be tempted to withdraw. Not good for business, right?
