Sometimes I wonder what are more prevalent, Entrepreneur Success Stories or Entrepreneur War Stories. I know that for me it’s about a 50/50 split. However without one it’s pretty hard to have the other. I’ve hired, and unfortunately fired, my share of people throughout the years and there are always a few key things to keep in mind when trying to weigh the scale to the Entrepreneur Success Stories side.
· EVERYTHING is a victory: This is something that can’t be said enough. I remember when I would get ecstatic when my phone would ring from some of my Marketing. As time goes on you begin to narrow your target and have fewer and fewer “Tire Kickers” but in the beginning that’s a sign that your work is working. Even if you lose BIG you’ve still got to be grateful that you were even in the game to begin with. Most people sit on the sidelines and never play.
· Enthusiasm: Without it you might as well go wait in line for Day Labor. It’s contagious. When your energy is high people around you feed on it and want more of it. This is an element to Entrepreneur Success Stories that requires no money, time or effort. Remember, you’re an entrepreneur by CHOICE so be happy about it and DECIDE to be successful
· Accountability: Remember, there is no more boss. The person to keep you on track now is YOU. If you have a habit of always looking for other reasons for your failures, you’re in the wrong field! There is nowhere to turn and nowhere to point that finger. EVERYTHING that happens in your business is a DIRECT reflection of YOU. Now look at the bright side, when something great happens you can say, “Hey, I did that!”
· Repetition: Now this is a two way street. If you are not producing the results you like, stop repeating the same behavior and actions. However, if you’re beginning to see some successes, keep doing what you’re doing. The book The Outliers by Malcom Gladwell has a terrific chapter in it about becoming a Master. In the book it says you must have 10,000 hours logged. Think about it, 10,000 hours of repeated success is in itself is an Entrepreneur Success Story.
· Complacence: I almost threw up as I wrote that word. The second you begin to rest on your laurels and pat yourself on the back you have allowed laziness to creep into your head. I don’t know what your goals are, but complacence is the death of all unachieved goals. ALWAYS be striving. It’s like a video game. OK, you beat level one now it’s time to continue to the next level.
Remember, this isn’t life or death, this is Business Building. So take the added pressure off and remember to celebrate your victories, bleed enthusiasm, hold yourself accountable, start your 10,000 hours and never stop striving for more success. Keeping these things in mind may help you write some of your own Entrepreneur Success Stories.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
