There will be a time when something goes wrong with your business. A missed deadline, a late delivery, a broken computer. When these things (or others) happen, it feels like a disaster, and there is nothing you can do.
Except there is something you can do. Stop. Stop thinking negatively, take a minute and breathe. You have enough within you to overcome these little barriers to success, because that is all they are, little barriers.
A good client will understand if you call them in good time and explain what has happened. Be honest with them and yourself. A late delivery can be rescheduled and computers can be fixed, or at worst, data can be retrieved. There are solutions for most problems you could face and you are capable of facing and overcoming them.
Take each obstacle as an opportunity to learn and move forwards, not backwards. This can only make you and your business stronger.
You've been doing the same old job at the same old place and its making you miserable. So why do it any more?
Is the fear of failure holding you back from starting your own business? I mean, you have a fantastic idea and are really good at what you do, so why not go for it?
Money is important, as we sadly need it to survive, but isn't your own happiness more valuable than a big income? Look back at that job that makes you so unhappy... Dont you deserve a better, happier life doing what you love?
Take the plunge into self employment and start the business you've always dreamed and talked about. There are bound to be pitfalls and difficulties along the way, but you will be working for yourself on your own terms, and that is what is important.
You can run your business and enjoy it, business doesn't have to be boring!

Just take a minute and think about you do every day whilst running your own business... Come on, your own business... You're in charge!
You are responsible for so much every day, from checking email and post at the start of the day, to switching off the lights at the end of the day, and everything in-between. It is incredible when you think about it, and you must hold on to that feeling.
Every aspect of business can be approached with this feeling, with humour, energy and excitement. Make your passion for your business contagious. I'm not suggesting a lack of maturity or responsibility when it comes to business, far from. If you ran your business like a child, you could be bankrupt within a year!
Take time to enjoy what you do every day and be happy doing it!
