EMPOWERING BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM
YOUR LIFE
1. Your experiences are shaped by your thinking.
Even obstacles have a value when you can see
it. You can develop convictions that will help
you to feel happier and achieve more,
regardless of the situation.
• Consider these empowering beliefs that you
can start using today to transform your life
through the power of positive thinking.
2. I understand my potential. You can achieve
amazing results when you put your mind to it.
Feel excited about reaching your true potential.
3. I count my blessings. List each thing that you
have to be grateful for. Remember to include
the smaller items, like warm socks or tart
cranberries. Expressing your appreciation
reminds you of how rich you are.
4. I learn from mistakes. You can make setbacks
work for you by focusing on the lessons that
they contain. Flubbing one job interview can
teach you how to ace the next one.
5. I find meaning in adversity. Tough times can be
the most rewarding phase of your life. Know
that you can emerge from any challenge with
greater wisdom and courage. Look back at the
obstacles you've already overcome, and
reassure yourself that you can handle what's
ahead.
BELIEFS TO MAKE YOU STRIVE
1. I take responsibility. You are in charge of your
life. Hold yourself accountable for the
outcomes you create. Celebrate the fact that
you have the power to determine your own
future.
2. I apply effort. Figure out your definition of
success so you know what is worth working for.
Give yourself credit when you're making
progress rather than comparing yourself to
others.
3. I leverage my strengths. You have your own
individual strengths that you can draw on.
Figure out what you're good at and what you
want to do. Let that knowledge guide your
choices.
SUCCESS TIP OF THE DAYPaint Tracks Towards Your Desired Destination Without goals, you will get lost in the jungle of life. Although you may reach your destination, the means of reaching it might not be within the standard of your morals. Reach your goals guilt free and swiftly. Remember that everyone has goals of their own, be sure to openly communicate them with others.

An upbeat attitude increases your happiness and productivity. Question your old assumptions so you can replace them with a new sense of certainty about yourself and your future. Adopt empowering beliefs that build up your confidence and prepare you for greater success. Start today. You'll be glad you did!
BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE
This may seem like a weird way to boost confidence
at first glance, but trust me, it works like a charm.
We tend to lose our confidence in ourselves and our
abilities when a task, problem, job, or situation
overwhelms us. We can’t grasp it all and the endless
list of things that need to be done seems like too
much to tackle. So don’t.
BREAK IT DOWN
Take Baby Steps
Keep working away, taking little baby steps at a time
until everything is done and you’ve reached your
goal. Your confidence will naturally grow with each
task you complete and each step you take.
Take A Look At How Far You’ve Come
Take a close look at how much you’ve accomplished
in life already. Looking back at what you’ve done will
boost your confidence. If that sounds familiar, it’s
intentional. One of the reasons why the last strategy
worked so well is because it also makes you look
back. Frankly, there’s just no better way to boost
your confidence.
Keep Looking
So when you’re looking at something smaller, or
something that can’t easily be broken up into baby
steps, spend a little time reflecting on all the
amazing things you’ve done. Dig out some pictures,
look at your photos, or curl up with your journal,
read through it and revisit all your past
accomplishments. With that boost of confidence
you’ll be ready for whatever life brings.
TWO CENTS
Confidence takes work, if you continue to belief in
your own power, your confidence will fly through the
roof. Accept yourself, accept all of your
imperfections. Let go of the need to be perfect,
confidence is the stepping stone to your success.
I believe in the power of confidence, I also believe
that you should know yourself.
Keep an ongoing lists of all of your strengths and
capabilities. List all of your qualities and embrace
them. Wake up in the morning with all of the good
inside of you and and be sure to keep yourself
motivated by keeping your word to yourself by
honoring your list of things to do.

Mistakes That Can Cause Disaster in Your New Business
Starting and running your own business can be very lucrative and fulfilling. It's also very challenging. Most small businesses fail. It's necessary to avoid the common pitfalls of small business ownership if you want to experience success.
Most small businesses face considerable financial challenges at first. Ensure that you're not making avoidable errors. Educate yourself before taking the plunge.
1.Small business owners can avoid many of the mistakes that lead to disaster: Failing to listen to customers. Find out why customers buy your product or service and why they don't. Customer feedback is imperative.
* Too many small business owners are so in love with a particular idea that they refuse to change to accommodate the market. Your customers are your best source of information. Conduct surveys or ask informal questions. Be flexible and change your approach when the feedback dictates it.
2. Weak leadership. It isn't necessary to be Attila the Hun, but small businesses require strong leadership. The typical employee in a small business often isn't considered qualified by larger firms. You'll frequently be faced with employees with limitations. Your leadership is necessary to drive and inspire them.
3. Undercapitalization. When you barely have enough money to keep your business afloat, any small mishap can disastrous. You're also forced to do anything you can in the short-term to pay your bills. That's a poor way to run and grow a business. Ensure you have the funds you need to get your idea off the ground.
4. Not understanding the importance of marketing. New business owners are often convinced that their idea is so amazing that marketing is secondary. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most businesses need to spend around 15% of their annual revenue on marketing to survive. This amount can drop as the business gains traction.* Small businesses need a marketing budget. When planning your business, ensure you have the funds necessary to let the world know that you exist.
Running a small business requires a wide range of skills. With so many hats to wear, mistakes are common. It's not necessary to be perfect, but the biggest mistakes can be avoided. Making a critical mistake can spell the end for your company. Learn about the critical errors business owners make and make plans to avoid them and remember business is your friend!

Social media sites have become an integral part of
your marketing strategy online.
You can capture new leads and build a core
community of loyal customers, all by leveraging
Facebook, Twitter, Periscope and LinkedIn.
1. Connect on Facebook. The audience is huge but
so is the competition for attention. Create a
Facebook Page for your business and
proactively build your fan base. Invest the time
and resources needed to keep them engaged.
★ With careful cultivation, you can also keep in
touch with influential bloggers and press,
network with key partners, and stay
connected with your best customers.
★ While you’re at it, promote your special
events and buy some inexpensive, yet
effective Facebook ads.
★ Keep an eye on how e-commerce options
evolve on Facebook.
2.Share information on Twitter. Twitter is ideal for
getting information out to a large audience, but
it’s important to be careful in how you interact
with your followers.
★ While you can post links to your site or
special offers, you’ll also want to provide
relevant information, tips, or commentary to
balance the promotional messages.
★ Search Twitter for people in your local area
and follow other users you admire.
3. Make new business connections on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is all business. You can expand your
professional network, ask other users to
recommend your services, and enhance your
company’s visibility.
★ Use the group discussion and question
features to consult with colleagues in your
industry.
Each of these social media sites has different
strengths. Use them in combination to market your
business effectively.

SOCIAL MEDIA BENEFITS
TRACKING YOUR MARKETING The first step in determining whether your
marketing is making you money is to track its
results. This means finding out where paying
customers are finding you. It may sound difficult,
but there are ways to do it.
Tracking your customers. It’s actually pretty easy if
you're doing business online. You can add tracking
codes to your URLs to signify where each customer
came from. Or you can create separate pages for
each of your campaigns. Then you can simply view
your web stats and see which customers came
from where.
In the offline world, finding out how your customers
found you can be a little trickier. You can always
ask if you see them in person, but if you have other
people serving customers for you, they may neglect
to do so. You can also ask how customers found
out about your business on mail order forms, but
they may or may not answer. Still, it's important to
make the effort. If you ask every customer, you
should get enough answers for it to be useful.
Crunching the numbers.Once you have determined
how much you've made from a campaign and how
many customers you have versus how many
prospects, you can start analyzing your data.
For more information on tracking your marketing
SETBACKS .
Setbacks are a fact of life. If you're not planning for
them, then you're not thinking realistically about where
you're going. A sure way to handle any setback, is to to
accept that they happen, as well as to let them happen.
While this might seem to be ridiculous or even
dangerous advice, the fact remains that setbacks are
how we learn, or at least how we should be learning. As
odd as it may seem, when you allow setbacks to occur,
you prevent future setbacks by learning to avoid them.
Think about the last time you learned any new skill.
Better yet, think about learning how to ride a bike, or
ski or skate. The first time you attempted any of these
things you were awful at it. In fact, you were probably
awful at any of them for quite some time. You were
also very likely afraid, not only before and during your
initial attempt, but also before and during each
subsequent attempt, again for quite some time. You
probably fell down, a lot. You also probably hurt
yourself, perhaps seriously. If you think back on it
honestly, learning any or all of these new skills was, in
the beginning, a series of setbacks.
If you bring that same mindset to any adversity you
currently face, you will continue your record of
success. Every experience, new or familiar, comes with
the potential for error. When you see that the mistakes
you make are actually signposts on the road to
success, you become unstoppable.
