As an entrepreneur having a positive attitude is very important for several reasons. Before we go into them, let’s be clear that having a positive attitude has nothing to do with pretending everything is peachy-keen when it isn’t.
It means you can find and see the bright side of situations and in business — especially your own business — this is vital. With that in mind, let’s go through some situations where keeping your chin up truly helps you as an entrepreneur.
- People will doubt you — this is a tough one and it is important to keep in mind that your loved ones want what’s best for you and if they see you headed for what they think could be a fall, they often become dream stealers by discouraging you “for your own protection.” People who are jealous of you will doubt you too for different reasons. Your positive attitude comes into play here because you will need to pick yourself up and avoid complaining to them when discouragement swings by for a visit.
- Business has learning curves — just like a real job, is nothing like the college classes we took to get it, running a business takes your life in a whole new direction with twists and turns and scary hills. Seeing the bright side and realizing the light at the end of the tunnel is not a freight train takes a positive attitude and outlook. Distractions and lack of focus pulls many folks out of their entrepreneurial dreams because it didn’t look this challenged from the outside.
- Business takes time — we see successful people doing what we want to do: having time for family, living in the neighborhood they love, driving their dream car and it’s such an adrenaline rush to realize we can do it to; but how long did it take them? A positive attitude keeps us knowing we can do it but part of maintaining a positive attitude requires staying grounded in reality and business takes time; sometimes much longer than we had anticipated. This is one of the learning curves and a time when many will attempt to talk you out of your dream of entrepreneurship so seeing the bright side is crucial.
Find an environment of positive entrepreneurial people who are supportive and cheer you on. They will be your lifeline in developing and growing your business.

Yes, definitely beware of the “dream stealers”, they will hunt you down like a mad pack of wolves if you show hunger to do something that is not “the norm”.
That is part of the challenge of an entrepreneur, especially before you are fully proven.
Thanks for the post Josh.
Hey Wayne,
That is funny! “A mad pack of wolves”…
I’m sure you came across them early on your business venture. I know I did! Today the pack of wolves either run the other way or join a pack of abundance…
Chat with you later.

Hey Josh, Great Post.
Einstein said, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.”
I think that this is much the case with internet marketing. Everything you learned about marketing before this point, has to be re-learned for the internet. It is definitely not the world college prepared us for.
It is better.
Hi Chris,
It’s nice to see you here!
Oh yes! I had to re-new my mind about marketing. What I do today with internet marketing you’ll never learn it in college. What you and I do we have to think outside the box. In college it’s all about what is inside the box and everyone else knows what’s in it…
Stop by again!
Josh
It can be scary sometimes and some of us are afraid of our own courage. Push on anyway!
Visualize your success. This is so important. Because if you can see yourself being successful that all you need to do is put one foot in front of the other and go there.
Hi Ilka,
Thanks for sharing additional information on how to maintain positive. This is the kind of information people need to hear.
Again thanks for your knowledge.
