For the next 7 weeks, my friday blog will be dedicated to a chapter in my just released book; Think #Digital First. I won’t be sharing too much information from each chapter as it’s important you read the book from cover to cover, for your business to really benefit from what I have written.

Think #Digital First is essentially a step-by-step guide designed for creative entrepreneurs, business owners and sales and marketing managers that shares with them the importance of having the right mindset to focus on technology, sales and marketing. Understanding your strengths to building the right team around you and knowing the different platforms, social networks and the right digital tools are so important when integrating them into your sales and marketing to help you market your brand online, saving time and getting sales to grow your business.

How many times have you wanted to take that next step in your business or personal life but haven’t felt ready to take on the new challenge? I know I have. Change is constant and without understanding this, and readily accepting who YOU are and YOUR worth, your business will not succeed.

Something I mention in my book is about being a successful entrepreneur and the attributes one would associate with this. What would YOU define as being a successful entrepreneur? Is it money, energy, enthusiasm? To see what I believe defines a “successful entrepreneur”, you’re just going to have to read my book!

I remember being sat in my friend/business mentors car and I stopped to question myself allowing myself to feel vulnerable. It might not sound like a positive as it was extremely emotional, however it was one of the best things that could have happened. Why? Because it has helped me make intelligent business decisions that has got me to where I am today.

Have you ever asked yourself; “What am I doing wrong?” or “What’s Important to ME?” You have to question yourself, find out what you love, invest in yourself as an entrepreneur and find your own voice. Don’t get caught up in the fear of business and know that there will only ever be ONE of you, and if you don’t #ExpressYourself, you won’t be able to take that next step on your business journey.

Chapter 1 of Think #Digital First is all about building your own personal structure and journey and really believing in yourself. Next week I will be writing about Chapter 2; Framework for Success – #TheChoiceIsYours.
