Summary: <p>Listen to episode 139 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Build a Business Startup: Entrepreneur Psychology. Adapted from The Power of Mental Demand, and Other Essays by Herbert Edward Law.</p><br> <p><strong>Motivational Podcast Excerpt</strong>: <em>The difference between those who achieve mediocre success and those who rise high above it is in this mental resolution, this development of a purpose, this pushing of a business. It is not necessary to the creation of a great business that you understand and realize at the beginning the complicated problems that you will have to meet and master. But it is essential that you recognize the necessity of doing each thing as it arises to be done, and doing that thing well, doing it the best within your power. </em></p><br> <p><em>Whether you are a master of mechanics or of media, you became so by learning one thing at a time. The person who now controls great interests may have seen the time when they had only the slightest knowledge of the interests they now so easily direct. Remember that the exercise of a faculty increases its power. Thus as you exercise the faculties called out and required in building your business, their power to meet conditions grows. </em></p><br> <p><em>Having resolved on your business, now proceed to push it and push it with every hour that you devote to business. Do it thoughtfully; put into it every mental force that you have at your control. The constant association, the high resolve with the efforts that sustain and back it up, give you added strength for the problems and duties of tomorrow. </em></p><br> <p><em>Having once resolved upon or desired a calling, a vocation, a business, you will naturally be drawn to it. There is a direct force that carries you towards the object of your desires. Every day you are both consciously and unconsciously working to an end. And if the end is the building of your business, then every day will find you doing those things which advance you step by step in that direction.</em></p><br> <p><strong>Related Motivational Podcasts:</strong></p><br> <p><a title="Podcasts for Entrepreneurs" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/the-psychology-of-business-for-entrepreneurs-startups/">The Psychology of Business</a></p><br> <p><a title="Success Tips for Small Business" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/the-inspirational-book-of-business-success-tips/">The Inspirational Book of Business</a></p>
