Behaviors for Business Success Online Course

In by Brooke Ferguson

Changing Your Behavior

We can know and understand what to do, and yet, we still have resistance to the new idea.  Just like when you start a new exercise routine, the mind RESISTS.  If you want to be successful in business and in life, you must learn how to recognize and move past this resistance.  It is stopping you from implementing, taking consistent action, and realizing the success that you deserve.

Most of the time when I am working with business owners, they already know what they need to do!  But, they are stuck in their heads.  Entrepreneurs are notorious for over-thinking and under-performing!  You can’t get more fit just by thinking about exercise.  It is the same way in business!  Thinking up endless scenarios does not a dollar make!  Behaviors for Business Success Online Course will show you how to Get Over It and Get On With It.
