At times, there have been impossible responsibilities and a lot of difficulties. Then again, personally, I’m quite jovial, with not much worry. I do my best, which is moderation, and failure doesn’t matter. |

Are You Sabotaging Your Start-up Success?Susan L ReidWhen it comes to starting up your business, are you your own worst enemy?From time to time, it's perfectly normal to feel wistful about that home-based small business that is taking so long to manifest. Sure, you've been diligently ticking off the tasks you need to do to make your start-up happen. Yet the journey that was once so fun and exciting has begun to get bogged down. Tasks are taking so much longer to complete, and you're beginning to doubt yourself.
You owe it to yourself to make sure you aren't doing some of the common things that hinder many women entrepreneurs’ chances of start-up success. Four Signs You May be Sabotaging Your Start-up SuccessOver the last seven years I've helped hundreds of women successfully start up their home-based businesses. Here are the four most common actions and attitudes I've observed in my clients that may also be sabotaging your efforts to build the business you've always dreamed of having. 1. Adopting a futile mind-set. If this sounds like you, it's easy to turn your negative mind-set into a positive one. First, take the pressure off yourself to get your new business going by any specific date. Also, break down your to-do list into small, bite-size segments that leave you feeling energized and successful. 2. Turning to comfort food (or drink) to manage your disappointment. If you find yourself turning to food to stave off the wolves of doubt and fear, it's time to get up and then open up. Find a friend you trust who will walk with you in the evening and open up to her about what’s bothering you. Sharing your start-up concerns while sharing the miles will invigorate you physically and motivate you professionally. 3. Spending time with friends who are disillusioned with entrepreneurship.
4. Isolating yourself.
Can you see yourself thriving and being happy as a small business owner? If so, you owe it to yourself to make sure your actions support your vision. Consider the four common signs that a woman entrepreneur is sabotaging her start-up success. If you see yourself in them, now is the time to turn things around. Don’t get bogged down with doubt. Get energized and excited. Then get on your way to start-up success. Copyright ©2011 by Susan L. Reid, DMA Dr. Susan L.
