No matter what industry you\u2019re in, there\u2019s always a million little problems and tasks when a business is first starting up.<\/p>\n<p>But besides these everyday business things, there are also the deeper, more conceptual issues to contend with: How fast should I be working? What\u2019s the right business philosophy? How does one maintain a clear head while working hard? How can I effectively give back to my community? Considering these more ephemeral questions \u2014which might, in fact, come up just as often as the \u201creal-world\u201d problems\u2014 &amp; coming up with business affirmations to help work through them can be a deeper challenge than many entrepreneurs expect. &nbsp;We decided gather some insight into how to stay committed and thrive by looking to some of history\u2019s great writers and thinkers for these real world business affirmations that can help you invest more wholly in your creative endeavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThink in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2014William Blake<\/p>\n<p>So this verse by Romantic poet William Blake might have to be re-worded for those who keep a night schedule, but its essential message is critical: sleep is so important to the long term viability of both your health and your business. The CDC recently reported that 1 out of 3 adults don\u2019t get the sleep they need (that\u2019s 7 hours a night if you\u2019re between the ages of 18 and 60, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine). Chances are, if you\u2019re just starting up a business or trying to take it to scale it to the next level, you\u2019re sleeping less. However, good sleep should be a top priority for you and your team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYour mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2014William S. Burroughs<\/p>\n<p>This is some great advice if you find yourself struggling to figure out a problem or <a href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/3-decision-making-tips\/\">make the proper business decision<\/a>. Although perspiration and grit are necessary for this process, if you find yourself repeatedly hitting a wall, it might be best to step back and decompress. Oftentimes, moments of creativity and innovation come when we stop trying to force them; so heed this thought from the Beat bard and novelist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2014Confucius<\/p>\n<p>This quote from the 6th-century Chinese philosopher hints at the need to pace your developing business. As described by Phillip Soriano in his suggestions on <a href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/bootstrapping-your-business\/\">how to bootstrap a business<\/a>, sometimes you have to recognize that you can\u2019t commit all your time to it all at once, especially if you\u2019re just getting started. Figure out the pacing that ensures that you still get the time for<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>sleep, fun, friends and family, and just keep at it. Sometimes, a slower pace ensures that you\u2019ll make less mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf there&#8217;s a book you really want to read, but it hasn&#8217;t been written yet, then you must write it.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2014 Toni Morrison<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be freaked out if the idea you have seems like it\u2019s never been done before. Trust the Pulitzer Prize winning novelist! Innovation is always about risk-taking, and sometimes, it\u2019s just about trusting your vision. Consider Daniel Lewis, who couldn\u2019t find a great suit at an affordable price, so he made his own, and then <a href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/brooklyn-tailors-interview\/\">started his bespoke clothing company Brooklyn Tailors.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou can\u2019t build a reputation on what you\u2019re going to do.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2014Henry Ford<\/p>\n<p>A simple but insightful thought from a titan of industry: reputations are built on your accomplishments, rather than your goals (though, of course, your goals and dreams are indispensable). Remember this whenever you think you can rest on your laurels\u2014vision is of the utmost importance, but what you\u2019ve done is what will matter most to your customers and stakeholders.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6324\" style=\"width: 1803px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6324 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/TuesdaysTogether-Atlanta-July-03.jpg\" alt=\"Business affirmations can be posted by your desk to keep them fresh in your mind.

This quote from Ben Franklin offers perspective on the importance of paying attention to detail: all those small expenses add up. (It also helps when you have access to simple, transparent and fair <a href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/small-business-loans\/\">small business loans<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cNo act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2014 Aesop<\/p>\n<p>Philanthropy is fast becoming an essential way of building your&nbsp;brand, and small business owners everywhere are starting to understand that they should give back within their means. Not only will it help on the business end of things\u2014 giving back to the community or causes that you care about will help you stay committed, since acts of kindness make you feel good. And sometimes, the business model might radically scale up when you hit on an opportunity to both help and drive business, as <a href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/good-beer-clean-oceans\/\">Saltwater Brewery<\/a> did. So bear in mind this thought from the ancient Greek philosopher Aesop; it resonates just as strong now as it did 2,500 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>What quotes, mantras, or&nbsp;business affirmations do you live by in your day to day? &nbsp;Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We looked to great thinkers and doers from throughout history for these&nbsp;business affirmations&nbsp;that will help keep you fresh, dedicated, and at the top of your game.
