Prioritize Learning Growth It's all too easy
to assume that a successful entrepreneur has it
all figured out. However, the most successful
entrepreneurs readily admit that they will never
know everything and constantly seek new
information and ideas. Make personal growth a
part of your everyday routine. Set aside time
each day to read blogs, articles, and books that
will help you expand your knowledge, enhance your
skills, and feel more inspired and motivated to
move forward.

• Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
• Honestly? Being an entrepreneur is anything but
  comfortable. It entails a lot of rejection, risk,
  failure, shame, anxiety, criticism, tears, and
  doubt... you know, the usual stuff. However, the
  cost we pay for creative freedom and fulfillment
  cannot be obtained in any other way. You will
  miss out on so many opportunities if you allow
  your discomfort to keep you from moving forward.

Place yourself in new and unusual situations that
will force you to grow. Experiment with something
that you've never done before. Get turned down.
It's terrifying but also thrilling.

• Set Goals
• Successful entrepreneurs do not achieve great
  things by chance they set thoughtful goals that
  they care about and work hard to achieve. Small
  victories every day help to achieve big goals.
  Nothing is more empowering than accomplishing a
  goal, and it allows you to accept that you have
  power over your life and can achieve anything you
  set your mind to.

7

• Embrace Risks
• When you take a risk, one of two things can
  happen you either win or you learn. And the best
  teacher there is a failure. It's an opportunity
  to learn, adapt, and grow for the next time.
  Instead of avoiding failure, embrace it. Fail
  quickly and frequently. It will set you up for
  long-term success.

• Spend Time With Other Entrepreneurs
• The people in your life are the most important
  factors in your life. If you encircle yourself
  with negative people who whine that there is
  nothing they can do to improve their situation,
  you will eventually feel the same way. However,
  if you surround yourself with energizing,
  inspiring people, their positivity will rub off
  on you.
• Create connections with other entrepreneurs
  who've been in your shoes. Study their successes
  and failures. Locate mentors or other experts
  from whom you can learn via courses or one-on-one
  coaching.
