Press Release Body: So you had that fantastic business idea, the one that\'s going to
be wildly successful and make you a fortune - even better, you actually did
something about it and started your own business. Good for you! Not everyone gets
that far. Most people sit and day dream about what they might do if only....

\"The world is full of dreamers, there aren\'t enough who will move ahead and begin to
take concrete steps to actualize their vision\" - W. Clement Stone

But you got over the biggest hurdle, that first step and you actually created
something.

Well done - you did more than most. Now you have the day to day details of running
your business so how do you keep going?

There are several things to look at here:

1. What are you good at and what do you enjoy doing? Make two lists - one of the
jobs you like and one of the jobs you don\'t do very well. Take the second list and
have a look at what you might outsource or automate. Do you love doing those
accounts or would your time be better spent in forward planning while your
accountant does the sums? Must you personally reply to every enquiry or could you
create a FAQ which you can post on your website and refer people to by auto
responder? In the early stages of your business you might find you don\'t have the
money to pay someone to do the jobs you hate. Could you swap skills to get the help
you need?

2. Why are you doing this? You need to be motivated to start a business and keep it
going. The best way to do this is to know what the effort is for. What really moves
you to get up in the morning and do what you need to do even when you don\'t really
feel like it? Write your reasons down. Find pictures of that house, or that holiday
and put them where you can see them.

3. How do you deal with those bumps in the road? Not everything you do will be
perfect - sometimes things you\'ve tried will be a disaster - it\'s the way you react
to problems that matters. If you curl up in a ball and give up at the first sign of
failure you\'d better not be in business. It\'s all about attitude.

4. Have a plan and stick to it as far as possible but be prepared to be flexible and
open minded. Sometimes the most unexpected opportunities come and you need to be
ready to seize them. - as Joe Vitale says \'Money likes speed\'.

5. Get a mentor - learn from someone who has done it. Someone to bounce ideas off
and who can encourage you when things get tough is invaluable.

And most importantly, never let anyone put you down and never be afraid of failure:

\"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man
stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs
to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at
worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall
never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat\" -
Theodore Roosevelt.

Don\'t ever forget that!
