Brief Explanation: 

Lord Ganesha is considered the deity for removal of all obstacles in our life. Hence
it is customary to pray to Him first before starting any new activity whether it be
pooja, new business or a new journey. Thinking about the Lord who has a pleasant
face (prasanna vadanam) will help us overcome all the obstacles that might arise in
our task.
