The Small Business Success Program

Build Business Success Week By Week

By Susan Ward, About.com

The Winning Formula To Increase Success

A more relaxed, confident you equals increased business (and personal) success.

That's the simple theory behind the Small Business Success Program, a free online business course called "10 Weeks To A More Successful You".

People don't become more relaxed and confident overnight. Nor do they become more successful without direction. The Small Business Success Program is designed to build business success by providing you with specific success-oriented tasks that allow you to build a repertoire of successful behaviors over time.

Small Changes To Increase Success

Small changes can make a huge difference, especially when we apply them consistently. Think about changing your eating habits, for instance. If you just resolve to eat a healthier diet, your resolution will fail because you don't have any specific changes to put into place.

But suppose you resolve to switch from using butter to using a low-fat margarine, and continue to do so for a year. You would end up with healthier arteries, and perhaps even lose weight, giving you even more health benefits.

Increasing your business success works the same way. Making small behavioral changes consistently over time reaps benefits, and one success builds upon another.

We can't change other people. We can only change ourselves. The Small Business Success Program will give you the information and encouragement to make the small changes to your working life that can make such a huge difference to what you accomplish, and how you feel about what you accomplish.

Each Week Of The Small Business Success Program Includes:

  • A Small Business Success Strategy
  • Tips on applying the success strategy
  • Related reading resources
  • A Homework Assignment, where you apply the success strategy

So let's get started building business success!
