An entrepreneur is someone who recognizes great opportunities and makes plans. Entrepreneurs organize, start, manage businesses, and receive profits based on the success of their business. To be an entrepreneur you have to be a positive and proactive person. If you want to be an entrepreneur, first and foremost, you will need to operate within the positive mindset you have developed. Second, you will need to know how to operate every aspect of your business. Usually, this includes:

 Managing the business daily

 Advertising and marketing

 Keeping solid financial records

 Hiring personnel

 Producing finished goods or services

 Being a positive & proactive risk taker

 Being motivated by achievement

A good entrepreneur possesses leadership skills, self-confidence, the ability to listen, a positive attitude, and a proactive mindset. To be an entrepreneur requires taking on a great deal of responsibility because you ultimately hold all of the power in your business. People will be looking to you for direction and counting on you to provide the quality product or service you’ve promised to provide. You have already laid the foundation for the single most important part of being an entrepreneur: you have made the decision and effort to live a positive life. Once that decision has been made and you have taken the steps to begin living in a positive state of mind (steps such as using positive affirmations) you can then focus on finding and developing your passion and ideas.

In this blog series, I am going to provide you with everything you need to get started and all the tools you’ll need to live out your dreams. Throughout this chapter, I want you to remind yourself with positive affirmations that you are successful, you love your job and that you are going to attract an abundance of wealth. Trust your dreams, trust your positive attitude, and trust that by the end of this series you will know what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. I want you to do this because by the time you reach the end of this series, I want you to recognize that you are already successful just by consciously making the decision to be positive and act on that positivity.

Before you take off on a business adventure you can increase your chances of being successful by taking the time to uncover your passion. The quickest and most efficient way to do this is to use the five exercises provided below.

1. Reflect on what you loved to do as a child.

Begin by making a list of the things that you loved doing the most when you were a kid. After making the list tick off the items you would still enjoy doing today even if they no longer seem practical. Ask yourself how you could implement these things into your life now and which items could help you shape your career choice.

2. Make a creativity poster.

Posters are cheap and it doesn’t have to be anything fancy; purchase one, bring it home and place the words “New Business” right in the middle of the poster. Get creative with it: Write it, cut the letters out of an old newspaper or magazine and stick it to the middle, do whatever you would like to do to get started. After you have your “New Business” poster, start surrounding the “New Business” wording with ideas. You can do this by using sayings, articles, images, or anything that inspires you. By surrounding yourself with visual aids of your intentions—and thinking positive thoughts—you make yourself more aware of what you would like to accomplish and your passion will grow.

3. Study people who have been successful in
the area you want to succeed in.

Make a list of people who are where you would like to be. Do your homework, study these people and figure out what they’re doing differently from everyone else to stay on top being the best at what they do.

4. Test doing some of the things you love before making a plan to pursue it.

Create a mock business, think high school project, and play with your ideas. Ask for feedback and suggestions and discover if there is value in what you would like to do. If you’re still convinced you have a good, positive plan after testing it, pursue it! A lot of people jump right in without testing the waters and discover they probably would have been happier pursuing their backup plan instead of the main idea. Get a good feel for what you enjoy and there will never be room for second-guessing or negative thoughts.

5. Take a break.
If you intend to be successful and remain positive throughout the entire process you will have to give your mind a break from business mode every once in a while. Taking a break and indulging in a little fun can help you produce fresh ideas regularly and make you even more passionate about the work you are preparing to pursue.

Rediscovering what brings you the most joy in life and the things you are passionate about is a crucial first step to becoming an entrepreneur. A positive mindset will make your work more enjoyable and productive no matter what you are doing. But, if you combine that positive mindset with something you already love, your success will multiply in ways you haven’t even imagined yet. After you have discovered your passion the next thing you should do is make sure you are prepared to pursue it.
