When
As an entrepreneur, it’s always important for me to stay true to my craft and continue to grow my little ole dot com with unique and original content, all while taking xoJohn to the next level. I decided early on in my career to take the simple approach with life by following these simple rules:
- I start my day by reading one of my favorite quotes:
“Having a rough morning? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That’s called purpose. You’re alive for a reason. Don’t give up.”
If this isn’t a pick me up, I don’t know what is. You are here for a reason. Find your purpose and start living.
- Ignore negativity: let’s face it: there will always be people who won’t get what you do and often try to put you down. Why give it any attention? Ignorance is bliss and it should not be a part of your life.
- Remain humble: I can’t stress this enough. Don’t let your ego get the best of you. A little success can trigger a little cockiness, but always go back to step number one when you feel that urge coming on.
- Surround yourself with good people: Sometimes they are hard to come by, but start with family and people you grew up with. More than likely, they will know you best. These people should exude positive energy, show loyalty, and tell it like it is when things get tough.
- Believe and trust yourself: If no one else believes in you, you must believe in yourself. Make yourself number one, “numero uno.”
- Don’t give up: Quitters never win in life and winners never quit.
- Laugh A Little: I personally just want to spend the rest of my life laughing! After all, it makes the heart grow fonder and the abs a lot tighter!
These are simple steps to achieve a healthy lifestyle by starting from within and mentally preparing yourself for obstacles that you may face as a business owner or in your everyday life.
