Ever have one of those days when everything seems to be falling apart? You server goes down, you lose a big client, or you forget to schedule that important meeting. It’s like the world is caving in below you and your business is in pieces. Those days absolutely suck.
We’ve all been there. We all have those horrible days as entrepreneurs. But here’s the funny thing: most of us never really appreciate the good days when things don’t fall apart and everything goes well. We just chalk it up as a normal day. A day when nothing falls apart.
I think that we need to change our mindset just a bit. We need to really learn to appreciate those days when things go well. Every time you have a day when things fall into place: you make some money, get some clients, and spread your business, you need to be mindful of that and really realize and recognize that you are having an awesome day!
It’s like losing a girlfriend or someone you really love. You really don’t know what you’ve lost until it’s really gone. Then you’re like: “wow, look at what I have lost! This sucks! I feel horrible!”
So you should think of your business in the same way. Every day that you are able to wake-up, get out of bed, work on your business, speak to clients, and make an impact on this world, you need to consider yourself lucky. You need to appreciate what you are able to do. And you need to always remain cognizant that being able to run a business and affect peoples’ lives is an amazing thing.
Appreciate your time as an entrepreneur. Embrace the good days. Understand that the bad days are just steps leading to the good days. Don’t take your business for granted, because it can be gone in a second.

A good exercise is to write down the top 5 good/great things that you did or that happed for your business each day. Have a special notebook to do this; or do it in a Word file. Write down things like if you landed a client, increased the number of viewers/buyers to your site for that particular day, increased the subscribers to your newsletter, had a great idea for marketing, or if you took action on an innovative idea you had, or anything good that went on in your business that day.
