- Recognizes its importance:
The first step is to become aware of the problem. Your emotions are your enemies. God gave them to you so you can feel joy and peace. Jesus felt joy, joy, sadness and pain, but never let your emotions dominate.
Your emotions are a good servant but a bad master. Do not be controlled by them. When starting your business, you must be willing to invest time and effort to prepare emotionally in the same way in which you are ready to learn everything.

Unlike what many people think, a business is a deeply spiritual. It will be much easier to cope with the difficult times that will live in your business if you have spiritual strength.
I’m not talking about a religion in itself, but a personal relationship with a God who wants to be the partner of everything you do, including your business.

Your emotions are a product of your thought processes. If you think bad things and constantly meditate on all that can go wrong, your emotions will be negative too.
Read your Bible and fill your head with good thoughts to which you can turn to in times of doubt.
- Control what you speak:
“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45) If your thoughts are negative, negative talk. Apart from creating a negative atmosphere around you, you proclaim your own failure, because “life and death are in the power of the tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21)
Discipline yourself and seal your mouth. Make a habit of saying only good things, even in the darkest moments. Or just do not say anything.
- Surround yourself with successful people:
Our medium and the vast majority of people we are bombarded daily with news and negative comments. It is important to find people who share your vision, you will build and spread their enthusiasm and winning attitude
