More information about Complete Library of Enterpreneurial Wisdom-- and author Ginger Marks -- follows the excerpt.

When you first decide to take up the mantle of business owner usually you are filled with excitement. In this stage we eagerly seek opportunities to tell everyone we come in contact with about our new business. We often begin by telling them about all the wonderful products/services we have to offer and then if they seem even remotely interested we might even tell them how they too could join our team. This is what we’ll call the Excitement Stage.

However, as the excitement dies down we soon come to realize the importance of putting together a business and marketing plan. This is a simple stage to complete so don’t fret. Most importantly this sets the groundwork for your plan of action that will ensure your business’ success. To accomplish this Planning Stage all you need to do is sit down with a pen and paper and commit to writing what you want to accomplish and how you are going to go about getting it.

As an example let’s say you want to have four new clients/customers each month for the next twelve months. Next you list the details of how you will accomplish this. Realize that in order to obtain four new clients each month you will need to share your business with at least four times that number of people. Remembering that old saying, “Some will, some won’t, so what!” will help to get you past the nos that are sure to come.

Once you have a solid business and marketing plan in place, follow-through. Mary Kay offers this one extra piece of advice that all business owners need to embrace. That is the habit of repeating the saying, “Why not me and why not now? It’s my turn and my time to succeed.” Adopt this saying as your own.

Only your lack of action will stand in the way of your success. Venturing into unknown territory is the scariest part of new entrepreneurship, but once you take that first step you will find the second step comes that much easier. In order to implement your business plan you must take action. Therefore, Initial Action is the third stage. Whether that means you must pick up the phone, go out and physically talk to others, or even network online you must accept the fact that it is up to you and you alone to take the action to make your business succeed.

Now that the initial action has been taken your business is on the move. The next phase that we all go through is the Question Stage. What was I thinking? Did I do the right thing? Questioning your ability to make it work is a normal reaction at this point. This occurs when we begin to listen to others and lose sight of our dream and our goal. You make several phone calls and don’t make any headway or have a conversation with someone that puts doubt in your mind and you begin to doubt your capability. If you refocus on the positives you have accomplished instead of the negativity that is plaguing your mind you will bounce back quickly from this stage.

Visualization is the next important stage. See yourself in that brand new car or home. Picture yourself on vacation in some exotic locale. When you take the time to give form and voice to your goals you implant the seed of that success in your very being. This is why so many companies realize the value of creating dream boards. Focus on the prize and not the bumps in the road. Keep moving, keep dreaming, and keep doing.
