Here's how" "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 selfimposed barriers make it difficult to work at peak levels of performance. This guide will help readers explore perceptions they have about themselves and identify hidden weaknesses, frustration, and fears rarely talked about. They will learn to manage these factors to avoid sure failure and to enhance, instead of detract, from business growth, work performance, profitability, and a more meaningful 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 issues based on those the author has taught to thousands of business leaders"--BOOK JACKET
