If positive thinking is the first step in becoming a successful entrepreneur than just think how far it will get you when continued in the long run. Start by being positive with everything you think and do, tell yourself "today is going to be a good day" and then start working hard at what you want to accomplish. When you begin to think positive in your own life the positive vibes will be passed on to other people and eventually your whole team will be in a better mindset and therefore more productive for you and your business.
