Be Fearless

The ONE thing the successful entrepreneurs I know have in common is that they aren't afraid. They don't fear: 

making decisions; 
doing mistakes; 
losing their money; 
asking for it; 
getting help; 
going out their comfort zones; 
risk; 
working very hard; 
living with nothing; 
challenging the usual; 
pursuing ideas; 
being criticized; 
talking to people; 
saying no; 
change; 
and ultimately TRYING.

Refilling Your Energy

Owing a business demands a lot from your physical energy. Like sports you need to put in significant energy to be in good form. Therefore, it is extremely important to set time apart, where you shut down everything to recharge your batteries. 

When doing so, it helps going to places far from urban activity and where you can get the less human contact possible. This way your mind holds the minimum day-to-day data. In this condition, you will be able to see the big picture again. Thinking clearly on what is working or not. So when you come back to take the business reins, you can do it with an improved strategy and your energy fully recharged to implement it.
