Recessions and Peaks

In business there will always be low and high points for growth. Now it depends solely upon yourself how you manage each one. How you manage them decides how terrible a low may be or how excellent a high may be. Just keep in mind that you have the control over all aspects of your business and you will be fine. Don't make excuses. Instead make reasons and examples as to why you want more highs than lows and keep your business alive! Always remember the main reason why you began in the first place. If it was just about the money then your doing it all wrong. Instead look past that and know you and your business can serve a greater purpose. I know you will do well in your business and with your passion! Keep building your own personal brand!

Never Underestimate

When building your business and your own personal brand, by expanding your network, you must not underestimate someone's potential to help your business grow. In fact that can be one of your biggest mistakes to make, if you let it. When building your business of course you have a dream and see it becoming the way you set out for it to be. However, if you become uptight or superficial, and to sum that up a typical Type A personality, then you will only be hurting yourself in the long run. Be honest and be complete. Always be open and get to know someone first before you may determine they aren't exactly right for your business. Remember always the rule of thumb, "The more people you screw over your 10% more likely you'll get screwed over each time. You don't want to be that guy who builds a multi-million dollar company to just loose it all because maybe a partner or even an employee wipes you completely out. There are many companies in which this has happened, for instance Enron would be a great example. Be right and live just and without any wrong intentions!

Know where you want to go!

Everyone I can not stress to you enough the importance of knowing where you want to go in life! Each and every step you take on your road to success you can either do blindly or with a purpose, it's really up to you. If you'd much rather live everyday with importance, which is the one I prefer you to take, then set goals for yourself and memorize them! Set a goal for each day, week, month, year, two year, five year, and ten year. Write them all down somewhere, so that just in case you have something to refer back to! Never stop believing in your dreams, and know that you can make them a reality as long as you strive for them each and every day. Also, it is not uncommon that right when you might be on the verge of giving up, something changes and you can see your dreams once again! Never stop, never quit, and never give up!
