Starting a small business can be a great way to increase your revenue streams. I highly recommend that everyone attempts business ownership at least once in their lifetime.
Below are the most effective ways to get started and grow your business:
- Vision boards, but for a business. What do you want your business to be? What kind of clients will you attract? What kind of an office will you have? Unlike an actual business plan, you can use your imagination with this one. Get creative.
- Keep an eye on any negative emotions. Do your best to control your emotions while working with your business. If you notice yourself getting upset/depressed/anxious, take a break until you are back to a more positive (or at least neural) mindset.
- Many successful business men and women swear by mantras. Personally, I prefer Sanskrit mantras as they have been around for thousands of years (but you can also create your own). The two most potent mantras for this purpose are 1) “Om Gam Ganapataye Namah” for obstacle removal, and 2). “Om Shree Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha” to increase profits/abundance.
- Try to learn something new about your field/industry every week. It can be reading a professional article, watching a seminar or taking a class. I have noticed that this has the power to turn a struggling business around and help an already successful business expand. In fact, I have not yet met a business person who did this and wasn’t successful.
- Qualify leisure time is a must. When not working, make sure that you are enjoying your time off and invest in relaxation. Spending your day off watching Netflix(unless you truly enjoy doing so) is probably not going to cut it. If you can, I recommend indulging in a spa visit or a nice restaurant. Anything that will bring you the maximum enjoyment and peace. It’s not an accident that the wealthy love to pamper themselves.
