[Think Like An Entrepreneur Thursday] Ep. 16 Learning to Be Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a great day to talk about an important concept of being thankful as an entrepreneur.

So many times we’re focused on the end goal, which is very important.  However, along the way we forget to celebrate the little things.  I’m probably one of the worst at actually looking back and celebrating the small victories.  I suffer from the ‘now what’ mentality.

If we never take that time to celebrate how far we’ve come or acknowledge the small victories in our business, we will burn out.  Sure you may not be as far as you hoped, however, you’ve probably learned a lot and have come a long way in that time.

One of the things I talk about is to write down the questions you don’t know the answers to when you first start out. If you’ve been putting time every day aside for your business, I would bet a ton of money, that if you went back to those questions, you would be amazed at all that you know.

I’m always amazed when I look back at all of the things I’ve learned.

Today is the day where you don’t focus on where you’re not at and where you want to be.  Today I want you to focus on how far you’ve come and all of the things you have learned along the way.  Tomorrow you can go back to looking at your end goals.

Get in the habit every night writing down the opportunities that were presented to you that day.  

What are you thankful for?  Post it below.
