All human beings are born with a mind capableof some measure of success. No matter the size of the measure, anything above total failure is success! Therefore, I beseech you to banish all negative thoughts; to be replaced by a positive, success-laden attitude. And allow me, if youwill, a new twist to an old dictum: "Failures are not people who have failed at something. Failures are people who have stopped trying anything!"....How to Use Psychology for Business Success is written for the employee, the self-employed, and those wishing self-employment. Emphasis is placed on making a success of whatever your calling through positive thinking, through experience, and through the art of dealing with people toyour best advantage....Not everyone wants to be an employee; not everyonewants to be, or can be, self-employed. Nevertheless, everyone can be a success!

The eBook "Psychology of Business Success" by Wayne L. Anderson is a comprehensive guide aimed at helping business leaders achieve extraordinary success through the application of psychological principles. As part of Anderson's Pocket Leadership series, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding and harnessing the power of one's mindset to overcome business challenges. Anderson argues that success is deeply tied to how individuals think about business and themselves. He introduces the concept of a "boundless business person," someone who is not constrained by traditional limitations and who approaches business challenges with a positive and open mindset. The book provides practical advice on how to redefine personal and professional constraints, encouraging readers to adopt a "blue ocean" strategy—creating new markets rather than competing in existing ones. Throughout the eBook, Anderson explores various psychological concepts, such as the influence of thoughts on emotions and actions, and how these can be leveraged to foster a successful business environment. He discusses the importance of self-awareness and self-definition for leaders, urging them to understand their core values and behaviors to lead effectively. The book also delves into the nature of success, suggesting that it is a journey rather than a destination, defined by personal goals rather than external benchmarks. By applying these principles consistently, Anderson believes that leaders can transform their organizations and achieve significant growth and innovation.

Towards a Psychology of Entrepreneurship examines a theory of entrepreneurship, its empirical base and its implications. First, it argues that a psychological approach is necessary to understand entrepreneurship. Second, it argues that any theory of entrepreneurship should use active actions as a starting point - entrepreneurship is the epitome of an active agent in the market, rather than a reactive agent. Third, it discusses an action regulation theory to better understand the psychology of entrepreneurship. Fourth, it provides examples how this theory can help to understand entrepreneurial success. Finally, it suggests intervention programs to help entrepreneurs to be successful at growing their organizations. Towards a Psychology of Entrepreneurship presents a descriptive definition of the entrepreneur. It also emphasize that entrepreneurship does not necessarily imply the start-up and growth of business organizations but is a more general phenomenon of starting social organizations and changing organizations. Thus, it also includes social entrepreneurs in its definition of the entrepreneur - thus, founders of social service organizations are considered part of the entrepreneurship landscape.
