Creating a Positive Work Mindset

I used to spend every morning as I got ready for work drowning in nonstop negativity.

At the time, I wasn’t doing work that I felt passionate about. Every morning, I’d show up to the office as early as possible, one of the first ones there, just so I could get the day over with and get out of there as soon as I could.

Deep within, I felt empty and lost. I knew this job wasn’t for me, but I had no idea how to get out of it. It paid me decently, plus offered good benefits. That should’ve been enough, right? It felt selfish to desire anything more.

Maybe this is just how life is supposed to be, I thought. Maybe nobody is supposed to be happy in their jobs. You just show up for forty years and put in your time until you finally get to retire.

On top of that, I really, really didn’t like my boss. In the morning, as I got ready for work, I’d run through all of the things he’d done recently that made me unhappy. Then, I’d play stories of made-up scenarios in my head where I’d picture him saying and doing even more frustrating things to make me angry.

So it’s not a stretch to say I’d spend a good one to two hours every morning swimming in a sea of pessimism, gloom, and negativity.

And that was all before I even walked out my front door.

Looking back, I can see just how much I allowed external factors to influence my mindset.

Because the truth is, even if I didn’t like my job, the job itself had no inherent power over my emotions. And even if my boss wasn’t my favorite person, he didn’t have power over my energy, either.

I am the only one in charge of my energy.

Every single day, I choose how I feel.

Not my boss. Not my coworkers. Not customers or clients.

Only I can choose what energy comes in and what goes out.

It wasn’t until I dedicated myself to a consistent morning routine that included meditation, journaling, and positive affirmations that I started to notice shifts in my mindset. More than anything, these practices showed me just how much I was letting negativity control my life.

And it was then that I decided to make a change: to take back my story and not let anything outside of me dictate how I feel.

Do you work in a job you love? Or is it one that pays the bills but doesn’t feel like it’s where you’re meant to be? Are you miserable in your job, only showing up for a consistent paycheck?

No matter your circumstances, you are the only one who can determine what energy you let in, and you’re also the only one who can decide what energy you put back out in the world.

Know this:

You deserve to work in a career you absolutely love.

You deserve to be excited every single morning about the day ahead.

You deserve to fall more and more in love with what you do every single day.

And if you’re not there yet, that’s okay. Choose to view your current position as an opportunity for growth. Find little things every day to be grateful for.

Instead of falling into the trap of stress and anxiety, take deep breaths and allow a wave of calm to wash over your body.

Trust that you are exactly where you’re meant to be right now, and this is leading you to somewhere greater.

Create the Life You Love

While this post is titled 50 Positive Affirmations for Entrepreneurs, it’s truly for anyone who is taking inspired action to create a life they love; these affirmations are for the dreamers, the doers, the risk-takers, and the self-starters. They’re for anyone who has a dream in their heart that they know they’re meant to follow.

You can be a writer, singer, actor, painter, designer, creator, or a maker and still be an entrepreneur.

For those who have started on the path to creating something beautiful with their own talents and resources, you’ve likely already endured hardships and disappointments. Maybe your first try at putting yourself out there didn’t go the way you planned. Maybe you’ve created something truly amazing, but it just hasn’t reached enough people yet.

I know this sounds crazy, but this is what I’ve learned through my own experience with entrepreneurship: the struggle is the gift.

I don’t know anyone who has experienced an easy path to success. In fact, those who we often deem “overnight successes” have usually been working on their craft for years. It only looks like it was overnight to the rest of us because we don’t see the entire journey with all of its ups and downs.

Everyone experiences some kind of hardship on their journey; this is a good thing. Challenges aren’t meant to make you quit; they’re an opportunity to take action. Maybe you’ve been so focused on one path for so long, you’ve missed some other possible paths along the way. Hardship gives you the opportunity to step back and see what you’ve been missing.

And I can also tell you this, as crazy as it sounds: often, our greatest so-called failures come right before the big success. I’ve experienced this time and time again in my own life: I’ll be excited because I think my big break is coming, only to immediately get let down by rejection, seeming failure, and obstacles that seem too hard to endure.

The key is to keep going.

Because every time I’ve kept going despite the seeming failure, that’s when what I wanted to manifest finally came true in my reality.

So for the risk-taker, dreamer, doer, believer, self-starter, and entrepreneur: if you have a dream in your heart, trust that it was meant for you. Keep going, even when it feels hard. Give yourself an abundance of love and compassion on this journey.

Know that you are always worthy.

And know that you are always more than enough.

Below are 50 positive affirmations for entrepreneurs to guide you in your journey forward. I’ve also linked to some more affirmation blog posts below that are all about embracing success, standing in your worthiness, and overcoming adversity.

I hope these affirmations are a powerful tool for helping you step forward on your path as you create the life you deserve.
