PUSHING TO THE FRONT<br />

or project, consider the potential upside of the opportunity.<br />

How will it impact your life? Is it the right time in the market?<br />

For you personally? What risk is involved and what is the<br />

financial commitment? Make sure all sides of the equation<br />

make sense for your life and for your business.<br />

5. Find customers immediately. In most of our business<br />

endeavors, we have started with a potential client. This has<br />

rationalized the risk, given us a point of valuable feedback as<br />

we build a business, and started us off on the right foot. There<br />

is no greater risk than building a business without making sure<br />

that there are potential customers. Give yourself peace of mind<br />

and the right start by finding a customer immediately!<br />

Finding the right opportunities came naturally to us as we focused on a<br />

particular industry throughout our career and aligned our growth through<br />

observation and need. However, starting businesses and seeking these<br />

opportunities took courage, energy, and skill, and in order to do this well,<br />

we had to be focused, aware, and confident. Early in our careers, we<br />

spent our free time listening to training tapes, attending seminars and<br />

workshops, and reading books on sales and marketing. Throughout our<br />

professional career we have practiced ways to harness our thoughts and<br />

to understand how our thinking influences our success.<br />

In 1978, we were introduced to affirmations, and they hugely influenced<br />

our lives. What is an affirmation? It is a declaration that is focused<br />

on a positive outcome or attitude. For example, Alan has used<br />

affirmations like, “I am an excellent speaker, well prepared, logical and<br />

completely at ease before any group” to give himself a boost for public<br />

speaking, and “I especially love, cherish and enjoy Bonnie” to maintain<br />

a special and endearing attitude toward his wife.<br />

Use affirmations to build your confidence, to help you accomplish goals<br />

in your life, and to become the person you want to be. Every affirmation<br />

is a reflection of your subconscious and inner truths and helps you<br />

realize your goals. In order to succeed in business, it is important to be<br />

confident and positive. Negative thinking will only hinder your growth.<br />
