What every business owner must know about Enthusiasm

By Jim Connolly | December 23, 2017

When you’re enthusiastic about your business, everything improves.

  • Enthusiasm builds confidence. This is essential if you want people to hire you, buy from you or recommend you. Enthusiasm also builds your self-confidence, as it changes your internal dialogue from neutral or negative, to positive.
  • Enthusiasm gives you energy. This is essential if you want to have the drive required, to build a great business. It’s impossible to feel energetic and inspired about your business, unless you’re enthusiastic.
  • Enthusiasm is highly attractive. This is essential if you want to become a leader within your marketplace or community. Your enthusiasm makes others feel positive. It inspires them to believe in you.

So, how enthusiastic are you?

Inwardly and outwardly, how enthusiastic are you?

This may help you decide: If you have lots of energy. If people get excited when you tell them about your plans. If you attract the people and situations your business needs, you’re working from an enthusiastic mindset.

If not, you’re probably like the majority of business owners, who lack energy, but have an abundance of stress.

Here’s the thing: As a business owner you have 2 choices.

  1. You can focus on what you want. This fuels your enthusiasm and leads to all those invaluable benefits above.
  2. You can focus on what you fear. This kills enthusiasm. It’s toxic, both to you and your business.

The power of enthusiasm

The moment you consciously decide to live and work with enthusiasm, everything improves. Your decision making will be based on what you want, so you and your business will move in the direction of what you want. Your energy, drive and determination will soar. You will become a magnet for the very things you need the most.

And it all begins with the commitment to live and work with enthusiasm.

So, what are you waiting for?
