New to affirmations and don't know where to begin? Motivational speaker and business consultant Ron Guzik suggests repeating the following "starter" affirmations to yourself:
- I'm doing something every day to move my business forward.
- I learn from everything that happens around me and to me.
- I retain my power when I take responsibility for my actions.
- I am more productive when I focus on solutions rather than the problem.
- I fail only when I stop trying.
- My limits are largely self-imposed; I can change that.
For more affirmations, consult Guzik's book, The Inner Game of Entrepreneuring (Upstart, $18.95, 800-829-7934).
