subject: How To Cultivate The Mindset For Success [print this page] Success begins with your attitudeSuccess begins with your attitude. Your attitude is determined by your mindset, desire and commitment. The more specifically you know what it is you want, the more you are able to visualize it daily and the more likely you'll do what it takes to achieve success.
Are you sick of being broke? Do you want to fire your boss? How awesome would it be to hire yourself? Are you sick of scams? Are you fed up with life feeling like you're in a downward spiral and not sure what to do about it to find the financial and time freedom you dream about once and for all?
Are you discouraged because you have no idea how to find a real business, one with a proven step by step comprehensive system, where by putting in consistent effort you can actually achieve results and be able to determine your own income potential to change your life?
Economists in a recent New York Times article shared data that trends tracked in prior recessions show job loss and economic downturns actually spark new entrepreneurial business. Think about this for a minute. This actually means that people who are serious and committed can figure out how to make money for themselves.
How serious are you? What is it you need in order to be successful?
What does success mean to you? Write it down, in detail.
Have you ever stopped to think that we are each where we are as a direct result of our actions, our behavior?
Feel like you were just smacked in the face? I hope so. This is a wake up call, a call to action for you if you are sick of being stuck in that enormous rut we so often call life. Sure, events beyond our control can affect our situation. The bottom line is there is only one person who change your behavior and subsequently, your situation. Just go look in the mirror. There is the cause and the solution.
What can you do to improve your situation? Begin with working on yourself, take daily action to become the leader necessary to realize the success you dream about. The potential is in you. In fact, it is within each and every one of us.
The next challenge is to define the characteristics of a real business, one that has built-in leverage for success, such as using the internet to attract people throughout the world who are looking for what you have. Find a business with a proven system, a training platform that has been rigorously tested and refined. This will eliminate initial challenges of not knowing what to do and dramatically reduce the learning curve.
The system needs to include a tested and proven marketing process that for the most part automates the sales funnel. This system should be designed to attract prospects to YOUR business and then to actually qualify and close them FOR YOU.
Sound impossible? If you know where to look and do your homework, performing in-depth due diligence to make sure what you're looking at is real and that you are NOT being scammed, such opportunities do exist.
Make sure the business you are looking into has the principles of a proven, successful business as follows:
* A great product or service providing true value.
* Allows ability to identify an actual target audience hungry for the product/service.
* Details how you market your message to your target audience, even the world.
* Has built-in training from actual top income performers who are passionate.
* Has a system that tracks YOUR business.
* Delivers consistent and exceptional value with integrity.
* Has leadership and community with integrity.
* Has inspirational leadership training for you (Yes, you have to do the work on yourself to become a true leader!).
* You can get paid and make real money (no false promises).
Finding a business with all of these components will allow any entrepreneur to focus on the most important business aspects of building relationships and growing their business.
Be aware, most opportunities that sound too good to be true, are just that, nothing but hot air. Often someone is out to make a fast buck, which means scamming you.
Any real business takes effort and persistence. Remember, "No pain, no gain!"
Once you find a business or program that meets all of the above criteria, you may still be skeptical. Find out if you can plug in to live overviews or trainings to get a feel for the community. Ask if there's an initial money back guarantee. (Yes, any REAL business will require some level of investment of money, of yourself and your time).
The next all-important step is for you to take a leap of faith in yourself. After completing your due diligence, if you like what you see and haven't seen any ominous red flags, commit and take the plunge.
Absolutely make sure you are totally serious and committed. If you are simply going to "Try" a business, don't even bother. You must go in with an "I'm all in and going to do what it takes attitude."
The most successful individuals throughout history did not have "Try" in their vocabulary. They went for it with passion. Think of how many of the most poignant leaders throughout time experienced "failure". Did they quit? NO!
They picked themselves back up and did it again and again. They learned, they grew and transformed. They experienced success.
Write your dreams down and get after them. Taking daily ACTION will have a compounding effect that will make the difference for your future.
