Self doubt attacks every one at some stage in their lives. As business owners, we are definitely not exempt.
During a storm, the rudder on a ship keeps it moving in the right direction, even if it is more difficult to do. As with a business plan, when things get tricky, we can refer back to the business plan and no matter how much we are doubting our own abilities, if we stick to the plan, we carry on regardless.
The best time to get a win is off the back of another win. That means that if you have a business plan and follow through on something in your plan, and you succeed, you will then be in the best frame of mind to do it again...and again... Just stick to the plan.
Without clarity of what we want to do, other peoples goals become more important. When you have your own direction set, it becomes easier to say no to what other people want you to do, at the stake of compromising what you really want out of life.
