If you are looking to start your own business or are already in business, here are my TOP 7 picks and tips.

TIP #1: Never…Ever…Quit.

Running a business is not easy and you will have plenty of frustrating moments. The most important thing to know and practice is to NEVER EVER QUIT. No matter how bad the situation may seem like and how bad you look at things, you must NEVER QUIT!

TIP #2: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone.

If you want to have a successful business, you have to make the decision to step out of your comfort zone. If you got to do things that you are not used to and this will help your business then do it. If you don't then this may hurt you and your business. Doing things that you don't normally do or are afraid of doing, is really the best meaning of steping out of your comfort zone.

TIP #3: Focus on Your Goals.

Goal setting should really be defined as a person creating the future in advance by writing these goals on a paper and doing what ever it takes to make it happen. You need to know what you want to achieve and WRITE it down on a piece of paper.

TIP #4: Be Able to Make your own decisions..

People don't reach success in business because they are not able to reach a decision themselves. They let other people around them influence them by their negative opinions. They allow their friends and family to make those decisions for them. Think about that. Didn't that happen to you a few times in your life time? It happens to many and that is why so many people fail in business or in any other part of their life.

TIP #5: Only Take Advice from Successful People.

The only way to make your business a success is either by doing it yourself and learning the hard way or you can take the better way and learn from people who are already successful in that field. What you don't want to do is to go to your family and friends and ask for advice about something that they may know NOTHING about.

TIP #6: Choose your words carefully. Don't Say "I Can't."

If you keep telliing yourself that you can't do things then your mind will help you and encourage you not to succeed because you keep telling it to yourself. Your "computer", which is your brain, will be programed to do that for you. What ever you tell it consistently, it will do. So keep telling yourself that you CAN succeed and see what happens.

TIP #7: Using too many negative excuses.

Successful people in business don't know the meaning of having excuses in their life and in their business. It is like a foreign language for them. For every challenge that comes up in their daily business life, they find the solution while many who don't start a business, always find excuses and reasons why they will not start one.
