I have been saying all along that all business enterprises first started as a thought, an idea, a dream, an intuition, of the business owner.

All riches begin as a state of mind. This has been the secret of the ages.
Based on my own study, it seems that business owners or entrepreneurs are people with vision, daring, and positive mental attitude.
A positive mental attitude – or positive thinking– is the starting point of all riches, whether they be riches of a material nature or intangible riches, said the world-famous author Napoleon Hill.
The following are the five easy ways to start and grow your own business, using positive mental attitude.
1. Associate yourself with successful and positive people. People have vibrations and influences, and the influence people have over our own personal energy is amazing. When you have people around you who inspire you, believe in you and want you to succeed, there’s no room for doubts.
As what Napoleon Hill, in his “Think And Grow Rich” said many years ago: “What your mind can conceive and believe, your mind can achieve.”
2. Always think positive and make a positive affirmation. Holding positive thoughts in your mind and repeating it by way of an affirmation daily will give you amazing results.
It has been long established that repeating positive affirmations has been shown to get people through tough times and to actually help them truly believe what they’re saying.
Visualizing yourself to be the owner of a successful business, before it come to reality, and making affirmations like: “Everyday in every way I am building a profitable business” will someday make your thoughts come true in reality.
Many successful businessmen and women have used the same affirmation strategy to attain their success.
3. Avoid negative thoughts. We all have negative thoughts from time to time, however, negative thoughts and emotions can derail us and prevent us from achieving all we desire.
When you find yourself thinking negative thoughts or having negative emotions, make sure that you forget it and replace them with positive thoughts, and focus on your goal, objectives, dreams and aspirations.
The affirmations mentioned above are a great way to turn the negative into the positive
4. Set goals/intentions and let it go. The law of attraction says that we attract what we focus on the most. However, desperation, needing your business to be a success, sends mixed messages and a lot of negativity into the universe.
Set your goals and intentions and then let them go. A certain amount of faith in yourself and in the power of attraction is necessary.
5. Be grateful. Gratitude is perhaps the single most powerful and positive tool for success. When you’re grateful for all of the wonderful things and people in your life the challenges you face seem significantly less important and are more easily dealt with.
Conclusion:
Success is within your reach and with positive thinking or mental attitude you can accomplish anything you set your sights on. Embrace these five powerful mind success strategies and you’ll build a better business and live a happier, more satisfying life.

Great reminder, Eli! I agree 100%.
It is believed that the difference between vision and hallucination is that you are the only one who sees your hallucination. All your points support the notion that having the right mindset will advance your cause. Point 1 rings especially clear for me: surround yourself with people who can see (or at least are receptive to seeing) your vision. You don’t need people who automatically agree with everything, but you need colleagues who are open to ideas.
Great post!

I’m not sure I agree with forgetting about negative thoughts. If you are negative about something, it’s worth investigating why. Turning a negative into a positive is definitely the thing to do, but if you try and ignore or forget problems, they will not go away and may resurface when they’re something you don’t have a choice but to face.
Total negativity can affect productivity, but the reality is, business is not always good. It’s better to face up to the negatives than pretend they don’t exist.
My visits here have always been fulfilling! The five points you mentioned are not only applicable in business but in every activity we do.
Dwelling on negative thoughts could cripple a person but it is inevitable as we live in an imperfect world. I definitely agree with you that one should learn to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts. As a popular Bible verse says “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” – Philippians 4:8 (NIV).
Once again thank you for sharing a striking post with a valuable message. This is surely what I need to have a clear mind and to act correctly to the challenges I face in life. I really appreciate all your encouragement and for being such a very good friend.
You are always such a positive influence on me, Eli, as your latest post has given me reason to think and to apply what I have read. Also, your comments on my blog are always so insightful and inspiring. Thank you!
I’ve recently started a blog, the information you provide on this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you for all of your time & work.
Eli, another good article. You also seem to parallel the thoughts of “The Secret”. Thinking positive, eliminating negativity and goal setting are corner stones of this great movie. Businesses are well served by these three points. It is true that some people thrive on negative focus and how they are able to overcome, but the majority of people perform better with a positive mind set. Dachai C @ Paidlikeaceo.com
