The Mental Game of Business

<p>When starting a business, you have to have some confidence that you can actually build it, and I was proud I had that confidence.</p><p>But feeling confident while going into being a first time business owner is like feeling confident and being dropped off in the jungle with no map.&nbsp;</p><p>The confidence can help, but the journey is not something you can really prepare for.&nbsp;</p><p>When I launched my company, Success Champions, I was not prepared for the mental game that I was getting ready to get into.</p><p>Coming from working as an employee in a business, I thought that I outworked most people, I thought I understood how businesses functioned and how they were ran, and I thought there were going to be some easy going times.</p><p>Boy, was I wrong.</p><p>To go deeper, I thought I had a pretty good idea of who I was regarding my character prior to building a business, but I’m here to tell you, you haven’t even met the person you’re going to become.&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re getting after it, doing the right things, putting yourself out there, you’re going to meet yourself.</p><p>For me, the biggest mental hurdle I had to overcome was when I ran out of excuses.</p><p>I didn’t realize how many excuses I had used in my life until I got to the place where there was nobody left to blame.</p><p>Yes, a lot of building a business is skill, but most of it is the mental game.</p><h2>Links</h2><ol><li>Website - <a href="https://successchampionnetworking.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://successchampionnetworking.com/</a></li><li>YouTube Video - (available soon)</li><li>Blog - (available soon)</li><li>Facebook Group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion</a></li></ol><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Success Champion Networking</strong></p><p>Success Champion Networking isn't for the beginning networker.
