Our mindset comes to play in everything we do. We are always in one of two states, fear or love. With love comes abundance, joy, excitement, happiness, possibilities and with fear comes scarcity, lack, doubt, frustration and a victim mentality along with many more. Your mindset will be the difference of having a business that you will love and enjoy versus a business that fills you with stress and worry. No matter who you are or what experience you already have you have to remember that growing your mindset and growing who you are as an individual is a continuous learning curve.
Think of it like a muscle, a muscle that will get flabby if you don’t work it. The first thing you need to do before even going to work on your mindset is MAKE THE DECISION. The power of your decision is huge and imperative when taking the leap of faith into starting your own business. 95% of what you do and what you create is down to your mindset. To make the decision means that you are 100% in and committed to your business. Anything less creates uncertainty, worry, anxiety and stress. They are fear led emotions. It is likely you will have friends and family that will try and persuade you to try other things and take you off track. Your ego will want you to play small and to question every little thing you do. The power of a decision and a strong enough reason as to WHY you are embarking on this new business will empower you to a whole new level. It will prevent you from quitting when obstacles come your way. Remember the more you drive forward the better you will become. For so many of us we commit to personal growth when the going is good and everything is going our way. This is an easy choice to make, we’re feeling great and life feels good so let’s read more, listen to more audios and action it.
The challenge that you face as an entrepreneur is you don’t have a boss. There is no consequence in not taking action, to not doing the things we know will help us. The reality of it is that we really need to do all of these things when we don’t feel like doing them because we need to do them more than ever. These decisions have to come from you having the strength of mind to say yes to personal development when all you want to do is hide under a duvet and watch box sets on tv. Never underestimate those daily decisions that you will need to make in manifesting a business you will love. It’s rarely about the big gestures, or the overnight success. It is about working on yourself every day to become the person you want to be. Own the kick ass business you are committed to creating. It is also important for you to remember that if you continue doing what you have always done you will continue to manifest what you have always manifested. So a shift in the way you think and feel will shift your actions, which will shift your habits, this will then shift your results. As you embark on your journey on being an entrepreneur you will need to start making different choices. Some people call them sacrifices but I believe that’s a word that comes from scarcity and can effect the way you look at your business.
