Determination

determined1Without determination none of your goals as a business owner will be achieved.

What is determination?

a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult, the act of finding out or calculating something, the act of officially deciding something.

As a small business owner you must maintain that level of determination you had when first you made the leap to running your own business.

With ownership comes complications, frustrations and often set~backs. Your level of determination will dictate how you work through such issues.

Are you adjusted to the long, long hours you are putting in? No 9~5 these days! No long weekends. Most likely you are working longer hours than you had anticipated and (hopefully) enjoying it. After all, you ARE the boss!

Winners are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

Determination will get you through. But you must also take a break, get some fresh air, run to the gym to get those endorphins pumping! Keep your eye on the goal.

“A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.”
John Christian Bovee
 
“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”
Colin Powell

If determination is not one of your strong suits, perhaps you need to rethink your desire to start your own small business. Not everyone has the degree of perseverance it takes to continue in the hard times…and they ARE inevitable!
