It is time to believe in ourselves and embrace positivity.  Do not let the cynical and pessimistic state of mind rule us.  Do not let the voices of the negative few dictate the mood.  Every successful entrepreneur has to have:

·        Extra dose of optimism

·        Idealism

·        The strength and will power to keep going

In order to have those successful elements, you need to:

i.              Be Positive

-      Positivity is one of the most important determinants of entrepreneurs.  Positivity is a powerful motivator.  It breads hope and perseverance. It compels us to push boundaries and fight against all odds.

ii.            Have Hope

-      With hope, we’ll never cease to dream.  It enables us

§  To have great ideas

§  To take risks

§  Not to give up on ourselves, on others and on our vision.

iii.           Have Supportive Network

The concept of collective positivity have great impact.  Find a group that will be there for us to lift us up when we fall, the optimistic ones who will cheers us through the darkest part of our journey.

          Build network and learn from mentors, advisors and seasoned entrepreneurs in our community who are willing to share openly and constructively, with a positive mind set to build things together.

Positivity does not mean blind faith.  It means being fully aware of how tough it is and getting fully equipped with the right gear and guide.  It means approaching it with a good attitude and have the right people to cheer you on, rain or shine.

When we believe in the best of each other, we can really make an impactful difference.  Let’s challenge ourselves to work together and move forward with positivity and mind set of abundance.  Take small, steady steps; keep putting one foot a head of the other toward our goal.
