What is the secret? How do the wealthy do it? I’m sure you, like me, have tried numerous ways of making money – but to no avail. After much research and actual success myself, I have discovered 8 behaviours of the wealthy mindset – that if followed, will give you success in whatever you put your mind to! Follow these and you will be a successful entrepreneur in no time!
REPLICATE YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL HERO- Either find a local entrepreneur that you look up to, or even an international highly successful one like Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey. Start to study them, not just their actions but their mindset as well. Read their Biographies, ask yourself – what do I believe their values and beliefs would be? What would their daily activities involve? If you can, organise with your local successful entrepreneur and ask them if you could have a coffee with them to learn from them. You will be surprised, most successful ones will be happy to share their success.
VISUALISE – This may seem a bit odd at first, you may feel like you are day dreaming but it works. The mind can’t differentiate between what is real and what isn’t. For example, if you held a banana in your hand and looked at it – then put it down, closed your eyes and imagined you were holding a banana – the same neurons in the brain fire off. Visualise success on a daily basis and eventually the mind believes it is real and replicates your subconscious behaviours to ensure that it does happen.
GOALS – When driving your car, do you first think of where it is you want to go? That is right, you need a desired destination before driving. This is the same when becoming a successful entrepreneur. You need a desired outcome. What is very important is to actually write these goals down, and be specific. Write them in the present tense so, like with visualising; your subconscious mind believes it has happened. Don’t stress about HOW you are going to get there, this will come, just make sure you have the destination written down.
ACTUAL ACTIVITIES THAT PRODUCE INCOME – Yes, this may seem obvious, however it is imperative to the success of your venture! And, let’s be honest here, how many of you have actually procrastinated and done the organising of office activities, instead of the marketing and advertising, because it was easier and you just wanted to “get it out of the way”. Write down a list of 10 things that you can do daily that will actually bring money into your business. For example: marketing calls, advertising and meeting with clients. Once you have written your list make sure you do at least 2-3 of these EVERYDAY, then watch the money roll in!
BELIEVE – Believe and expect that you will be successful. Expectation is a powerful tool when it comes to the law of attraction. How many times have you expected (to the core of your belief) something to happen, and it did – or vice versa. Expect your success and it will happen!
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE – Focusing on what you have, will only attract more to what you have. Focusing on what you don’t have, will attract more of the feeling of lack. Whenever you start feeling that you are focusing on being broke, or on not having enough – stop, and write down ten things you are grateful for. This will shift the energy that you are sending out and help you to re-focus. The more positive you are, you start to notice more positive things and attract more of what you want.
CONTINUAL GROWTH / PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT – This is very important – remember to never stop growing. All the successful entrepreneurs have open minds and are always learning. Watch Oprah – she is always learning something new on her show. And with those new Learnings she continues to grow her empire. “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” Charles “Tremendous” Jones
COMMITMENT – Sometimes you may feel like you are going up a stream without a paddle – I have felt that often. I have even felt that sometimes I am actually going backwards. What I have realised though – is to never give up. Stay focused on your goals and stay committed. If you are determined, no matter what obstacle comes your way, you will ALWAYS find a way to continue towards your goal!
A thorough understanding of the above 8 behaviours, and making them regular habits will only increase your chance of success ten-fold. Enjoy the experience and journey you take in achieving your goals. Don’t forget to reward your successes and learn from the setbacks, success is on the cards – good luck!
