The Entrepreneur's Guide to Mastering the Inner World of Business (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780313380020)

This practical book takes the entrepreneur past the business plan and into the toughest business game they'll ever face--self-management for daily and long-term success.

Focusing on the internal blocks, obstacles, and struggles all entrepreneurs face sooner or later, The Entrepreneur's Guide to Mastering the Inner World of Business shows how these unrecognized self-imposed barriers make it difficult to work at peak levels of performance. This guide will help readers explore perceptions of themselves, utilize leadership competencies, and identify weaknesses, frustration, and fears, managing each of these factors to enhance business growth and profitability, work performance, and a more satisfying life.

Each chapter of the book concentrates on a difficult, universal problem entrepreneurs may face, such as managing doubt, worry and indecision, remaining innovative even during stressful times, coping with loneliness, confronting overwhelming "busy-ness," discovering the meaning of success and managing it, climbing up from failure and despair, and knowing oneself. "Ask Yourself" questions help the reader identify the particular issue within him/herself. "Practices" suggest proven solutions for those issues based on those the author has taught to thousands of business leaders.
