Being an entrepreneur is tough but the rewards are so worth it.  If you are struggling with a start up or hitting some road blocks with your business, you may find a motivational pep talk just what you need.  So below you will find some great ways to restore your bruised ego, banish your second guessing and fill you with enthusiasm.

1. Remember and Revisit Your “Why” Often-Revisiting the reasons why you decided to start your own business, blaze your own trail and stop working building another person’s dreams is the start.
2. Create A Vision Board-Create a vision board and put it where you see it!  You can glance at your vision board and see the reasons you are doing what you are.  
3. Write Down Your Goals-Research shows when you have clearly, written goals you are more likely to achieve them.  Write it down, make it happen.
4. Make Sure You Break Your Long Term Goals Into Short Term Goals -Having short term goals that are more attainable can be used to give you markers on that longer road to your long term goal.  Celebrate the small victories that lead you to the ultimate victory.
5. Create SMART Goals-Make sure you have goals  that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely
6. Find Your Inspiration-Start collecting great quotes, stick them on your computer, on your vision board and anywhere else you will be able to see them often.
7. Talk To Your Mentors-Find the people that inspire you and talk to them.  
8. Detach From The Negative People/Thoughts-Negative people have an excuse for every solution.  They feel they are unable to reach their goals and they want to prevent anyone else from reaching theirs.  They will crush your dreams and zap your energy so that you can be just as miserable as them.  After all misery loves company!  Get far away fast!
9. Be Consistent-No business building dream will be easy.  There are no overnight success stories, they only look that way from the outside.  You will encounter obstacles, resistance, failures and disappointments.  They will all help to make your stronger, to guide you in the right direction and help you grow.  Look at them as opportunities to evolve and remember failures pave the road to success.
10. Keep Moving Forward-Failure Is Not An Option- Failures are just ways to guide you to adapt different ways, adjust your sales, change your direction but not derail you on your journey.  Keep going, one foot in front of the other.  Just keep moving forward no matter how small the step.  You will get there!
11. Remember Your “Why”-This is so important it bears repeating! Revisit why you are on your journey.  Imagine what life will be like if you do not continue toward your goal.  It is so worth it!  Believe in yourself and just keep going.
