"It's hard to be big, when little has got you". - T.D. Jakes

There are many reasons why new entrepreneurs fail in their new business endeavours.  Lack of capital, no connections, quitting to early, and not working hard enough, are all well know reasons why many new entrepreneurs do not make it.  One reason that is grossly over looked is an entrepreneur not doing the necessary mental reprogramming needed to make it as CEO.  Most new entrepreneurs do not come from an affluent family, or from the upper echelons of society.  Most new entrepreneurs come from lower middle class, or poor beginnings, which is out of their control and is okay.  The problem with that is, growing up in these circumstances we develop a certain way of thinkin, which is contradictory to what we want to do as buiness owners.  Most people who come from these areas are trained to think small, play it safe, and not to take risks or chances.  On the flip side, people who are successful are there for a reason.  People who are successful think big, want more, and take calculated risks.  In order to be successful as an entrepreneur, who starts out in very humble beginnings, you have to do daily inventory of your thoughts.  You have to always be operating on the mind set of an entrepreneurs, and CEO.  Your success as a business owner, and your employees, depend upon it.
