10 Ways to Have a Successful Mindset
I always believed that your business would only be big as YOU are as a person. Your business will be able to grow as much as you will.
Once business owners and entrepreneurs get this point they start developing success habits, which include taking care of their health. They start exercising and eating healthy, they develop their physical strength and health.
However, in order to be truly extraordinary and successful you’ll also need to develop your mental strength and develop a healthy mindset.
Business is tough and demanding and you will need to train yourself in the art of what I call “Falling forward”. Meaning that when you fail in something you’ll need to use it as leverage to the next goal and project.
Here are 10 things you can do in order to develop your mental muscles for success:
1. Stop Feeling Sorry for Yourself
Stop feeling sorry for yourself when things don’t go right for you. When a situation turns bad for you instead of feeling that the world is against you and that life is “not fair” train yourself to say – “What can I learn from it?” (and make sure you follow up on it) and just simply say… NEXT!
2. Reclaim Your Power
No one can make you feel bad or inferior unless you let them! You are in absolute control over your actions, thoughts and emotions. Learn how to master your emotions and thoughts and work with them in a way that would support you.
3. Start Loving Change
I think one of the reasons both Nisandeh and I are successful is that we hate standing still and when things become “normal”.
I think our biggest fear is not the unknown but that things would become too comfortable and known and we start operating on automatic mode.
Start loving environment that allows you to keep changing and developing all the time and you will develop those mental muscles for success.
4. Stop Worrying What Other People Would Think
If you wish to be successful you will need to stand out of the crowd. You will need to focus on what is right FOR YOU not about what other people think or if they would like it or not.
You will need to develop those mental muscles that will allow you to navigate situations where people might not like what you do or say. You’ll need to stop trying to please EVERYONE.
5. Stop Complaining
You cannot become successful as a victim. Part of being a victim is complaining on stuff that you have no control over, like, traffic, lost luggage and… other people.
When things go wrong recognize that you are the one that is in this situation and just focus on what CAN YOU DO, focus on what solutions can you find for this situation.
6. Take Calculated Risks
In order to grow you will need to take risks. If you keep avoiding them you will miss all the opportunities that are out there. You will need to develop your ability to take calculated risks.
This is different than jumping ahead and taking foolish risks. You’ll need to learn how to weigh benefits and think thoroughly through the process of worst-case scenario versus the benefits and opportunities that you have.
7. Enjoy Other People’s Success
It takes a big person to feel genuinely happy and excited for other people’s successes. You want to develop that ability.
Stop feeling jealous or resentful for what others have achieved, instead look at it as footsteps that have been carved for you; on your path for success.
8. Learn to “Fail Forward”
Learn the ability to use every failure as a chance to improve. All the successful entrepreneurs I’ve met (or read about) share that 80% of their ideas failed. It takes only 1 good idea to make it a great success.
You want to be able to make as many mistakes as possible in as shortest time as possible to become a success and thus develop your mental strength. Be willing to fail again and again and again, so every “failure” will bring you closer to your ultimate goals.
9. Stop Having an Entitlement Attitude
No one owes you ANYTHING. No one promised you a rose garden when you have a business. Get ready to work hard or even better, work smart and don’t look for short cuts.
10. Think long-term
Whether you are starting a new workout or a new diet, or a business you need to realize that you are in for the long-term. You want to be able to develop the patience to see the results that you wish.
Most people are looking for immediate gratification and therefore want instant results. Extraordinary successful business people have a long breath and are willing to do the work for the long-term and not be discouraged when results are not showing up immediately.
Now I’m curious….
Do you have the mindset of extraordinary successful people?
