increased sense of hope and self-confidence. When your emotional energy
is intact, you will be more in touch with your business and able to perform
better at the job you love to do.

Failing to take the time to nurture your emotional energy can leave you
with a lack of motivation that could be detrimental to the success of your
Home business. Here are some tips to help you sustain an adequate level
of emotional energy:

 Put your needs first and live your life for you. For instance, if you
want to invest in a method of business that seasoned veterans are
afraid to try, do it anyway if you have the means and the
motivation. When you waste your energy trying to make everyone
else happy, you will effectively drain the emotional energy that you
need to make your business a success.

 Surround yourself with positive people who support your vision and
care about your business. Avoid unhappy people who spend their
days nagging, complaining and going on and on about their
problems. These people will suck the life right out of your company.
Work with individuals who inspire you and motivate you to be your
best, and in turn are motivated to perform well themselves.

 Make sure there are always ideas that are fresh and immense on
your agenda. Make big plans for your next vacation or something
else you can work toward as a goal. When you have a goal or
reward to look forward to, it will inspire you and stimulate you to
perform at top level. Your goals should give you a reason to wake
up in the morning and go to work. Hope converts directly to
emotional energy; moving toward a goal will not only increase your
level of happiness, but it will also inspire you to keep up the good
works so the rewards keep coming.

 Live for the here and now. Forget about past business ventures that
failed. Focus on moving ahead and what you plan to do next and on
down the road with your Home business. It is impossible to plan for
everything; be sure your plan is flexible enough to give you
adequate leeway to accomplish your goals.
 Abdominal breathing works well when you are feeling anxious,
irritable, insecure or impatient to soothe such negative emotions.

 Pay it forward by expressing detailed appreciation to your
associates and partners through specific emails, notes or telephone
conversation.

 Approach difficult situations with new perspective, learn from your
mistakes and grow from your experience.

Remember that you control your own destiny, which will be much easier
to do now that you have learned to increase and sustain your level of
emotional energy.
