Don't sweat the little stuff.

As a former business owner I know what it’s like to develop a successful business and the frustrations that come with it.

In any venture there are always the little things that come up and throw a wrench in your plans. Some days it seems like every time you turn around something else is going wrong. What makes someone a success is the way they handle those little hitches. Don’t get upset or frustrated. It’s really not a big deal. Things happen and you can’t let the problems get in your way. Just keep your head down and in the game and get past it. Everything can be handled with a little bit of patience and determination. The best part of running into problems is that you learn from them and become better at what you do every day.

Just remember, treat the little hitches not as problems but learning opportunities. Learn from them and don’t let them happen again. Always keep this in mind and never give up. You will be successful before you know it.

I remember reading a quote a few years ago from the musician Carlos Santana. He said, “If you want to create a miracle for yourself, learn to get out of your own way.” This really resonated with me and I keep it in mind every day. Many, if not all times, the only thing standing in the way of your success is you. Just get out of your own way and let it happen.
