Ask SCore“SUCCESS THINKING”

— IT’S ALL ABOUT ATTITUDEAs a small business owner, you’re not

just “the boss.” you’re also the leader, theperson employees, vendors, customers,and prospects look to for guidance, sup-port, and confidence. And being a leader iseasier than you think. it begins with a pos-itive, “can-do” attitude that your businessdelivers what it promises, and can achieveany goal.

This is called “success thinking,” and it’sfound across all successful enterprisesbecause the entrepreneurs made it conta-gious among their teams. They emphasizelong-term potential over short-term think-ing. They learn to innovate rather than hes-itate, and shun the status quo as they seekto spark new interest and enthusiasminside the business.

When you focus on the collective suc-cess of your business as a whole—not anindividual person, project or product—youcan accelerate success by identifying a fewprofitable activities and making them hap-pen ever more flawlessly and quickly.

one way to spread success thinking isby encouraging communication acrossyour team. Generally, those around youneed more information in order to feel suc-cessful. Let them know where you thinkthe business needs to go, the problems itfaces and what keeps you up at night. Asktheir advice about what you are doingright, what hurts and what needs fixing.That way, everyone has a bigger stake inyour success. What’s more they becomemore inspired to find new, better ways ofdoing things as well.

Positive thinking breeds confidence,which should always be encouraged. butdon’t become blinded by it. Writing inAmerican express’s oPen forum, entre-preneurial consultant and author mikemichalowicz says small businesses oftenset goals, then fail to adjust them when the

dynamics of the environment changebecause they see their thinking as infallible.

“being positive isn’t a bad thing, it issimply being overdone,” michalowicznotes. “being negative isn’t bad either; itsvalue is just being ignored. So start gettinga little more negative in business. it willpositively help you.”
