Two Simple Mindset Tricks for Entrepreneurial Success

Want to know what sets uber-successful entrepreneurs apart from the wannabe entrepreneurs?

It’s not the money, or grand ideas, or even influential friends.

Though all of those things are nice to have, they’re not a requirement of success. What is a must-have, though, is a good attitude. Without it, you’ll always be battling yourself, and can be exhausting.

Without a good mindset:

• You will allow yourself to believe your ideas are not good
• You will remain convinced that you aren’t smart enough
• You’ll be confident that someone else can do “it” better

And before you know it, you’ll have talked yourself right out of launching your newest program, asking for that new joint venture partnership, or writing a book. In no time, you could be back at your day job, working away on someone else’s business because you don’t have the confidence to build your own.

But a simple mindset change can make all the difference to your success.

Shift One: Dress for Success

Ladies, this one is for you. When we work from home, it’s easy to fall into the habit of wearing yoga pants and t-shirts to the office. After all, why dress up for the dog?

But if you are looking for a simple and easy way to instantly shift your mindset, ditch your yoga pants and top knot and break out the mascara. You’ll suddenly find you feel more professional and more confident too.

Shift Two: Never Let Scarcity Fuel Your Decisions

Too many of us entrepreneurs operate with a scarcity mindset rather than approaching our business more from a place of abundance. Instead of telling yourself, you can’t afford to work with a coach or hire a virtual assistant, try reframing your thoughts.

Rather than thinking, “I can’t afford to attend that event,” ask yourself, “How can I earn the money to invest in this trip?”

Rather than saying, “I have to do everything myself because I can’t afford to hire a VA,” remind yourself that your hourly rate potential is much more than you’d pay a virtual assistant. Then fill those hours you’re saving by outsourcing with money-making tasks of your own.

By reformatting your thoughts, you’ll turn that negative money talk into positive solutions that help you grow.

Here’s to creating the life you LOVE!
