3 common myths about what it takes to succeed in entrepreneurship

3 common myths about what it takes to succeed in entrepreneurship3 common myths about what it takes to succeed in entrepreneurshipTake advantage of opportunities that present themselves, even if youre strapped for time.For new entrepreneurs, a wealth of advice and wisdom exists from veterans who have traveled the lonely path before. But its necessary to separate fact from fiction. The path of the entrepreneur is already fraught with risk and uncertainty. Take a look at three myths below to avoid these common pitfalls.Failing is coolRecently, I read a New York Times article about Silicon Valley founders and their startup failures. They wore them as a badge of honor as if its a big accomplishment to bankrupt a company. The underlying message (not being afraid to fail) is noble. The acceptance of failure, however? Thats far from noble.In Jason Fried and David Heinemeiers book Rework, the authors ask a simple question Why fail?Failure is sometimes necessary in order to achieve greatness Thats the message that needs to be heard mora clearly in tech. The market may simply not be ready or willing to accept your idea. You may be ahead of the curve. Does that mean your entire business model is a failure? Certainly not. With that being said, opening a coffee shop with a friend or familys money and sitting in the back all day playing Pokmon Go is not a reasonable excuse to bankrupt your company.Failing is a necessary evil on the path to big accomplishments, but it should not be an overwhelmingly accepted circumstance.Your time is your most valuable assetSince Tim Ferris released The 4-Hour Workweek, entrepreneurs have been watching the clock. They want to ensure that they dont waste their time by working on something they are not 100 percent on board with. Entrepreneurs have convinced themselves that their time is extremely valuable and that every moment should be spent on building the next Facebook. Nickel and diming your time, however, is only holding-gesellschaft your company back.Recently, I emailed the CEO of a technology startup here in Atlanta. I offered to get together for coffee and discuss his sales strategy. He replied quickly, letting me know that he was looking for a VP of sales and would be very interested in speaking with me. He then asked a few follow-up questions regarding my experience with SaaS sales. I told him about the companies I had worked with in the past (an impressive list) and requested a time and place to meet.I was planning to tell him in our meeting that I was currently in the process of co-authoring a book with someone who created the modern SaaS model I simply did not want to divulge that information via email. Before I had a option to explain this, he replied and told me that he wanted someone with more SaaS experience. His time was valuable, and he would not be taking the meeting.Because he was under the impression that taking a coffee meeting may be a waste of his time, he missed a possibly fruitful opportunity fo r his company. I take almost every meeting that comes my way now because you never know who is going to bring what to the table. And that is exactly how you create something out of nothing.I recently invited a gentleman I met at a networking event for coffee at my office. With no preconceived plan of how he might make me money, I chose to explore the opportunity. Today, he and I are working together on a deal with a Fortune 500 company that will result in significant profits for my firm.Say no to everythingThe fact is, to become wealthy, you need to say yes to almost 90 percent of the opportunities you are presented. You then need to explore them critically and make your determination. You need to fully realize the potential that surrounds you. Some of my best deals have come out of the meetings that I initially thought were going to be a waste of time. Be open to opportunity and constantly remain on the lookout.If nothing else, remember to stay vigilant in networking and dont close yourself in. Time is money, but time spent forming bonds with peers and embracing opportunities is priceless. Examine your failures rather than blindly accepting them. By doing so, youll empower yourself to get ahead. Finally, keep in mind that many renowned businesspeople have traversed the same uncertain steps, but they met their goals by knowing how to disregard poor advice or damaging myths.Mizra is theFounder of iSocialYou, helping business ownersgenerate more leads using the power of digital and social media.BusinessCollective, launched in partnership with Citi, is a virtual mentorship program powered by North Americas most ambitious young thought leaders, entrepreneurs, executives and small business owners.

Do not disturb Why our bodies press snooze during winter

Do not disturb Why ur bodies press snooze during winterDo not disturb Why our bodies press snooze during winterHave you ever noticed that in the summertime, youre full of energy and want to stay out of the house as long as possible, but once winter rolls around, you find it impossible to get out from under the covers? SAMEIf this is the case for you, dont worry its not all in your head. Winter has a major effect on our bodies, mainly due to the lack of sunlight. During the cold, dark season, our bodies produce more melatonin (the sleep hormone) than usual, which causes the disruption in our sleep patterns and mood. Our bodies are naturally programmed to know when to sleep, but they tend to get a little confused with winters shorter days and longer nights.Have you ever heard the term Seasonal Depression? Well, its a very real thing With an increase in melatonin comes a decrease in serotonin (the happy hormone), which causes you to feel sluggish, anxious, and depressed, and you may eve n have trouble sleeping. All of these are common symptoms of the appropriately acronymed disorder SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder.)Unfortunately, we cant control the seasons, but we do have the power to control how our bodies react to them. So now that you know youre not going crazy, how we can help our bodies from wanting to press snooze during winter? For starters, VITAMIN D Natural sunlight is obviously the best way for our skin to absorb the vitamin. I know its a struggle to get outside when its freezing and gloomy, but your skin still does receive vitamin D on cloudy days, so try going for a walk around the block a few times a week. The crisp cool air will be koranvers to wake you up and put a pep in your step. If its absolutely unbearable to be outside where you live, you can still get your daily dosage of vitamin D by eating foods such as egg yolks and fatty fish if youre not a fan of these, then simply take a vitamin D3 supplement daily. Love WellnessMood Pillsare also a he lpful supplement for battling the blues and enhancing your mood ??Another useful tip for battling too much sleep in the winter is sticking to a sleep routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, and aim for only the necessary eight hours of sleep a night. As soon as your alarm goes off (make sure its far from your bed so youre not tempted to hit snooze), wake up and be productiveYour diet is also a factor in boosting your energy during this time. Make sure your plates are colorful by filling them with vegetables and fruits, and go for the lighter meals that are easier to digest.Try to work exercise into your schedule - even if its just for20 minutes- three days a week to get your body moving. If youre still having trouble waking your body up, then opt for a light therapy lamp/box, which is used to mimic outdoor light and help ease the symptoms of SAD.Its inevitable to want to just stay incozy PJs, snuggled up with a blanket all day. But with a few tweaks to your dail y routine, you can survive the winter season and win the battle of the snooze button.This article was originally published on Brit + Co.

3 Things You Have to Give Up if You Want to Be Successful

3 Things You Have to Give Up if You Want to Be Successful3 Things You Have to Give Up if You Want to Be SuccessfulAn uncomfortable, but powerful, truth that took most of my twenties to internalize is this Therbeies an opportunity cost to everything worthwhile in life. No matter what youre trying to accomplish, youll have to give up something in order to make it happen.In building my career as an author, speaker, and host of the Unmistakable Creative podcast, Ive had to give up many things along the way. Here are the three big ones1. Other Peoples Definition of SuccessWhen I welches in college, there was an unanimously agreed upon definition of what success looked like. While it wasnt explicitly stated, it was implied through peoples conversations, behaviors, and decisions.But by this definition, I was a complete failure. I had no prestigious jobs, no Ivy League MBA, and a bank balance that was close to zero upon graduating from Pepperdine in 2009. At 30 years old, I was basically sta rting from scratch.At some point, I realized that I had to give up other peoples definition of success. While this is one of the most difficult things to give up because its so deeply embedded in our cultural narrative, its also incredibly liberating and ultimately leads to the fullest expression of who you are and what matters to you. Other people arent going to live with the consequences of the choices youve made. So why would you live your life according to their values?In a conversation I had with Yanik Silver a few weeks ago, he told me a story about a client who wanted to become a billionaire. When he asked why, the client listed a number of reasons, most of which didnt require a billion dollars.By understanding the essence of our goals- what it is that we believe our achievements will bring us- its easier to give up other peoples expectations.2. Fear of JudgementFor years, Id have conversations with family friends and distant relatives about the work that I was doing. Every t ime I talked to one of them they would say, So, still blogging? Trying to explain that there was far more to what I was doing felt like a lost cause. It reminded me of this conversation that Dani Shapiro referenced in her book, Still Writing The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative LifeIve thought of all the times that Ive been asked if Im still writing. Ive been asked this by acquaintances and strangers, even by fans, readers of mineIve asked around and discovered that every artist and writer I know contends with a version of this question. Its asked of writers who are household names. Its asked of photographers whose work hangs in the Museum of Modern Art. Its asked of stage actors who have won Tonys. Of poets whose work is regularly published in the finest journals. No one who spends her life creating things seems exempt from it.The fear of being judged keeps so many of us from taking a shot at our most ambitious dreams.At a certain point, I realized it wasnt my job to convince the people that what I was doing was important, meaningful, and valuable. I had to give up the need to be validated by certain people. The people whose opinions I did truly value- my business partners and really close friends- didnt judge me at all. They supported me and could see a light at the end of the tunnel even in the moments that I couldnt.Once you give up your fear of judgment, your ability to work changes quite drastically. You become more present, productive, and start to gather creative momentum. You focus on the process, not the prize, and you start to see progression toward the life you want to live.3. Any Baggage Related to the PastWe all have a past. Its filled with wonderful experiences, and also filled with horrible things such as bad bosses or an ex or two that pulled the rug out from under us.At some point, you have to give up whatever resentment you have toward people, circumstances, and experiences from your past. Otherwise, your future starts to look an awful lot like your past.When you give all that up, you end up ditching a lot of baggage. You walk through the world with a sense of lightness, peace, and freedom that makes its way into everything else that you do.For years, I was angry at all the bosses who fired me. When I finally gave up this feeling up, I realized these people had given me a gift and lit a fire under me. Because ultimately, I wouldnt be doing what I am now if I hadnt been let go.Giving things up isnt just about sacrifice. Its also about gain. When you give things up you create an opening in your life for other things.If you want to live life on your terms, in the long run, you might have to give some things up in the short term. Maybe you sacrifice comfort and security in the present for a greater sense of possibility in the future.Ultimately, its up to you to define the meaning of success and what youre willing to give up in order to have it- and figure out if the outcome will be worth it.This article was originally pu blished on Medium.
