b'Your willingness to start from scratch as a business owner is crucial to finding long-term success -- here\\u2019s why\\nIf you\\u2019re considering starting a business, one of the things that you absolutely need to be prepared for is to start from the very bottom.\\xa0\\nI don\\u2019t say that to be negative -- I say it because all-too often, people go into entrepreneurship with rose colored glasses, and then get discouraged when they realize that they don\\u2019t have any social media followers or an email list that tumbleweeds could blow through.\\nWhen you\\u2019re first starting out in business, you\\u2019ve got to be OK with starting from scratch. And because you\\u2019re likely doing something that\\u2019s brand new to you, you\\u2019ve also got to be OK with not having the same clout that you might have had in your career.\\xa0\\nSure, you might have a ton of experience on your resume and an excellent track record -- but you\\u2019ve probably never owned and operated a business before. And it\\u2019s a whole different ball game!\\xa0\\nSo that\\u2019s why it\\u2019s so important that as an entrepreneur you have a strong capacity for zero. You\\u2019ve got to be willing to start with nothing, get in the trenches, and do the hard work.\\nNow here\\u2019s the good news, sweet friend. You won\\u2019t be in this place forever! With time, effort, and the right strategies, your business is sure to grow.\\nBut when you start in the right frame of mind, and know in your heart that things don\\u2019t happen overnight, you\\u2019ll be much better equipped to handle all of the ups and downs that come along with the wildly exciting ride of entrepreneurship.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, I\\u2019m diving into what it means to have a strong capacity for zero, and how you can strengthen yours.
