8 Common Behaviors of All Successful Entrepreneurs

One of the most difficult challenges of sticking to your goals personally and professionally is changing your behavior. Goals like improving your health, reaching a milestone, or revising daily routines aren’t easy. In fact, studies show that our brains don’t like change, are wired for laziness, and have a limited capacity. Ouch! And we often fail because we don’t practice the correct steps. As with any process, there’s an order to follow. For example, when administering first aid, it’s vital to work sequentially. Before caring for an injured or ill person, you should obviously call for help. Then you check for breathing and a pulse to determine if CPR is needed. Next, if a wound is present, you must attempt to protect yourself from bloodborne pathogens before trying to stop the bleeding. Or let’s say you’re painting a room in your house. Obviously, you need to choose your paint color (will it be Arizona Dust? Blissful Blue? Soft Candlelight? Gallery Gray?) and purchase the proper amount. You should then prepare the area. You’ll likely move furniture, tape off the trim, and cover the floor with a drop cloth. After all, you wouldn’t want to open that fresh can of paint on an unprotected carpet! Putting in the time for preparation saves you a big headache (and extensive clean-up) later on. Likewise, there are steps to changing behavior in order to successfully reach your goals. Let’s take a closer look at what’s required.  I’m the author of many books, including, Excuses Don’t Count; Results Rule, Live Life with No Regrets, No Excuses, The Guide to Stopping Procrastination, The Power of Visualization, My Gratitude Journal, the Work Life Balance Emergency Kit, and The Roadmap To Success with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard, and more.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™  #accountabilitycoach #stopprocastination #limitingbeliefs #timemanagement #goalsetting #goalachievement #procrastination #businesssuccesstips #entrepreneurialmindset #mindset #businessownertips #smallbusinessownwers #businessgrowth #businessaccelerationUnlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

As a business owner, you’re constantly on the move. There are a million things that constantly need your attention and you’re making decisions left and right. Moving fast is just a way of life.Making quick decisions, however, is not necessarily the same as making good decisions.When you dive into cognitive psychology and economics, you’ll discover that there is an actual science behind the act of decision-making. The ideas of fast and slow thinking as two different modes of thought, were first described in Daniel Kahneman’s book Thinking, Fast and Slow.According to Daniel, we have a two-system way of thinking: Thinking Fast (System 1) and Thinking Slow (System 2). Keep listening for more on how to recognize these systems within yourself, and how harnessing the power of each one can help improve the quality of the decisions that you make.Thinking Fast (System 1)An easy way to think of System 1 is that it is your gut reaction to experiences in your life. It is arguably the stronger of the two systems, and we tend to default to thinking fast, or reacting quickly, before moving on to a slower processing of events.Thinking Slow (System 2)System 2 is the slower, more thoughtful sibling to System 1.While System 1 is the younger sibling who screams “Let’s go!” and jumps off a roof into the pool because it seems fun, System 2 is the more responsible older sibling who takes time to assess the risks of jumping off of the roof and decides it’s probably better not to do it. Apply Fast and Slow Thinking to Your Business I’m the author of many books, including, Excuses Don’t Count; Results Rule, Live Life with No Regrets, No Excuses, The Guide to Stopping Procrastination, The Power of Visualization, My Gratitude Journal, the Work Life Balance Emergency Kit, and The Roadmap To Success with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard, and more.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™Unlock a blueprint to creating and having your ideal business and ideal life by scheduling your free consultation with me today!

Entrepreneurs are extremely driven and have a knack for getting what they want. Though they’re often under immense pressure and juggle multiple responsibilities, the best entrepreneurs seem to handle everything with grace while still coming out on top. So, what types of behaviors allow them to get ahead and win that we can implement? Let’s explore eight habits that successful entrepreneurs swear by. Whether you’re just beginning your entrepreneurial journey or find yourself questioning your next move, you can find inspiration and direction from these eight habits. Nearly half (42.6%) of entrepreneurs fear failure, despite evidence that business owners need to be comfortable with failure and learn from the experience. This fear of not succeeding is what’s detrimental to businesses, not the failure itself. The fear of failure is obviously bad for your business, so you need to quickly learn to overcome it. How an entrepreneur deals with failure impacts how their direct reports bounce back from them also.Want more proven business success tips and resources?
