In the start, it was the dorm, the laptop, and a big idea. Then I read about journaling. Which raised another question. How can Entrepreneurs build a better business by journaling every day?<\/p>\n

<\/span>Start Your Day with Morning Pages<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
In The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron talks about morning pages.<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\nMorning pages will set the tone for your day. Additionally, it will empty your mind to think about what is most important for your business.<\/p>\nYou might have seen people having fancy diaries in which they write all about their life. But wait, there is a huge difference between keeping a diary and writing a journal.<\/p>\nAlso Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/8-morning-rituals-for-uber-successful-entrepreneurs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 morning rituals of highly successful Entrepreneurs<\/a><\/p>\nIn a diary, you record all the actions that have happened on that day. While writing a journal goes one step ahead. In the journal, you analyze and retrospect your day.<\/p>\nYou write whatever inspires you, and if you’re an Entrepreneur who is willing to build a better business by journaling every day, you need to learn how to make the best use of journaling every day.<\/p>\nWhen you’re small, you might have written a diary, or maybe not. In both cases, you know what to write in a diary, but now you’re grown up, and you don’t know what to write in the journal. Well, the good news is you’re here to learn more about journaling for Entrepreneurs.<\/p>\nSo, here are some things that you can write in your journal:<\/p>\n<h2><\/span>Log in Every Piece of Idea You Get<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n“Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so” <\/em><\/strong>~William Shakespeare<\/em><\/p>\nThe thing with writing everything down is that you never know which of your ideas will change the world.<\/p>\nKeep a journal with you at every time. And if you cannot carry a journal, <a href=\"https:\/\/discussion.evernote.com\/forums\/topic\/21176-how-i-use-evernote-to-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">use Evernote to keep track of your ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\nHere is my screenshot of Evernote where I am brainstorming some ideas for my next blog post.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8774\" src=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blog-ideas.jpg\" alt=\"blog ideas for startup business\" width=\"833\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blog-ideas.jpg 544w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blog-ideas-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blog-ideas-370x220.jpg 370w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blog-ideas-270x161.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px\" \/><\/p>\nIt is not about making sense of ideas. For now, write whatever comes to your mind. Write raw ideas. And later, you can craft those ideas for perfection.<\/p>\n<h2><\/span>The Lessons Learned<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nAs an Entrepreneur, you will fail a lot. And if you do not learn from those lessons, they will keep repeating themselves.<\/p>\nEvery day you will be faced with good or bad experiences. What successful people do, is recognize the pattern when they get successful and analyze their failures.<\/p>\nYou can journal what have you learned from your mistakes that day.<\/p>\nIf you stumbled upon a presentation with a client, write that down. You missed a deadline, write that down. You messed up and order, write that down.<\/p>\nEverything you write, ensure that on weekends you’ll analyze the mistake and see what went wrong.<\/p>\nUse your failures to ignite the fire within. And use that fire to move toward success.<\/p>\n<h2><\/span>Fire Up Your Pressure Cooker<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nJournaling is an amazing way to release some pressure off your back.<\/p>\nDid you get a passive-aggressive, condescending, or downright hostile email today? Did a client yell at you for something that was out of your control? There’s no more perfect place to vent your workplace frustrations than in the privacy of your own journal.<\/p>\nIn your journal, jot down the response you really wanted to send to that colleague or client. Read it a few more times if you want, then let it go.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8775 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket.jpg\" alt=\"pressure cooket\" width=\"900\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket.jpg 900w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket-370x236.jpg 370w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket-270x172.jpg 270w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket-470x300.jpg 470w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket-570x364.jpg 570w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pressure-cooket-740x472.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\nWith journaling, you can take off all the pressure and clear your mind for better understanding.<\/p>\nJot down all your worries and it will help you make well-informed decisions.<\/p>\n<h2><\/span>Collect Compliments<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nIt might feel a bit odd at the start, but once you start jotting down the compliments you get every day, you’ll see how blessed you are. How amazing you are. And how great it feels to get appreciated by the people you love and total strangers who are true about how you work and see the world.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8776\" src=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/collect-compliments.png\" alt=\"collect compliments\" width=\"865\" height=\"865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/collect-compliments.png 700w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/collect-compliments-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/collect-compliments-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/collect-compliments-370x370.png 370w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/collect-compliments-270x270.png 270w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/collect-compliments-570x570.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/p>\nReading compliments, again and again, gives you a feeling of accomplishment. A feeling that cannot be replaced by anything else.<\/p>\nWhen you’re feeling down, just look at the compliments you’ve received. These compliments make your Entrepreneurial journey a lot easier and worth pursuing.<\/p>\n<h2><\/span>Envision Your Future<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nA person without a clear vision of the future is like a bird with no feathers.<\/p>\nBad Entrepreneurs live in their past, while great Entrepreneurs envision their future.<\/p>\nWhile you’re on your way to success, you need to visualize where you want to be in the coming years.<\/p>\nWrite every day. Where you want to be soon. What rewards, achievements, and successes do you want in the future?<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8777\" src=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/evision-your-future.jpg\" alt=\"evision your future\" width=\"837\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/evision-your-future.jpg 640w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/evision-your-future-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/evision-your-future-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/evision-your-future-270x152.jpg 270w, https:\/\/branex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/evision-your-future-570x321.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><\/p>\nThe great thing about writing things down is that, when you write things down, half of the battle is already won.<\/p>\nUse every sense you have.
