Hi,

I'm about to open my business and I'm scared out of my mind. I"m scared the customers won't come. I'm scared that even if I work my butt off there might just be that chance of me having bad luck and things not working out for me. I'm going to be doing outside sales the majority of the time but I"m just so scared. Anyone have any good books I can read to calm me down? I would greatly appreciate it.

Kind Regards,

Robert

Read Trump 101: The Way To Success by Donald Trump and Trump: How To Get Rich by Donald Trump. These books teach you how to have the right mindset.

Welcome to owning a business

You might be a bit frantic right now, but that first client/customer will ease all of that. The first is the hardest. The rest will follow - most of the time.

You know, I have this book that my mother gave to me for my 13th birthday. It's all about success quotes from, well, successful people. It states that a successful person cannot be afraid of the negative outcomes because that's how everyone falls, no matter what they're doing. Try doing some self-talk and getting your mind focused only on positive thoughts.

Also, look into podcasts or videos by inspirational speakers. They will lift you up in a way that is indescribable and very helpful.

I hope this helps you out.

Jay, I think the book your talking about is "the secret" -I would reccomend this book, and the book mentioned above written by Napolean Hill, you should also read Napolean Hill's classic "think and grow rich."-very inspirational

Actually, I do have the Secret as well. Awesome book. The book that I'm actually talking about is titled, "Inspirational Quotes."
