Small Business Inspiration
Posted on June 20, 2012 by Lola Rotimi-Sosanya
You can see the law of attraction everywhere. You draw everything to yourself. The people, the job, the circumstances, the health, the wealth, the debt, the joy, the car that you drive, the community that you’re in. And you’ve drawn them all to you like a magnet. What you think about you bring about. Your whole life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go in your head.
- The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne
Many large, successful businesses started out small. It only took one dedicated, motivated person to turn that idea into a largely profitable organization. Do not be discouraged by the competition in the area or by your own self-doubt. Everything starts small and you never know if your business could become wildly successful and change your life! Use the small business inspiration provided in this article to fuel your desire 
to create your own company.
Starting a new business can be an intimidating process. After all, to make a business succeed, you will need to invest lots of time and money. While this can be daunting, do not be discouraged immediately. While starting a new business is difficult, in many cases the rewards outweigh the stressful starting period. If you are starting your own business, odds are that it is something that you are passionate about. If the business succeeds, not only do you get to work with something you love but also you are your own boss. This is an opportunity many people dream about! Don’t miss out just because you are afraid of failure.
Believe in yourself and stay strong. When you think positive thoughts, you attract positivity into your life. Think about your actions and act in a way that will attract things that will make your business successful. By remaining optimistic, you will increase your personal confidence. If you are confident about your business idea and your personal entrepreneurship abilities, chances are that others will also be interested in your business. If you simply think that your business will be successful, that positivity may translate into investors. If you don’t know how to start planning the business, research it online or talk to professionals who have succeeded in the business world. If you do not have the finances available, ask friends and family if they would be willing to invest, contact a venture capitalist or angel investor firm, or visit your bank to look at loan options. There are many resources that can help you start your own business. Do not let fear or doubt deter you from following your dream.
If you set a goal for yourself, do not stop until you achieve that goal. Picture what you want the business to become, stay driven, and make it become reality. If you envision what you want and plan towards it, you are more likely to achieve it. If you feel that this article motivated you or you have any other tips to share, please leave a comment below.

great post… we wouldn’t choose self doubt would we?
Here’s my suggestion on what to do when we spot self doubt.
Identify the emotion behind it….most likely fear
Decide what you’d choose to feel instead…confidence
Put your hand on your heart and breathe deeply…focus on feeling confidence until the fear subsides
Thanks for the advice Simon!
