I have discovered, after much research in self-development and Life Coaching, 8 similar behaviours between the successful entrepreneurs and those making all the money. If these 8 action steps are followed daily and consecutively - there is no doubt in my mind that success will come your way!
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.
ENVISION - Scientists have proven that visualising can increase your chance of success. The more often you visualise, the more the subconscious mind believes that it has happened, and therefore starts looking for ways to make sure it behaves in a similar way. Do this regularly and you will "train" your mind for success. Sit in a quiet spot, visualise your most successful day as an entrepreneur. Take notice of what you are doing in this picture, what you say to yourself, what others say, how you feel, how you stand / walk, and any other significant points.
GOALS - Although these seem easy and not relevant - they actually are imperative to success. I mean you can't get to a desired destination in a car, without first thinking of where you want to go. Success as an entrepreneur is the same, and the more specific you are with your goals, the higher chance you have of success. It is also a good idea to have short, medium and long term goals. When writing them down, don't focus on HOW you are going to get there, that will come, just on where you want to go.
INCOME PRODUCING ACTIVITIES - Although obvious, this is actually an important one to state. I mean, how many of you (and let's be honest) have gone to do some money making work, but become side tracked with organising "important" things, or creating new systems, or having lunch - when you should have been doing marketing calls? Write a list of the actual core activities that brings in money to your business. Once you have recognised what these are - make sure you are doing at least one of these a day!
EXPECTATION - Expect that you will be successful. This again helps the unconscious mind to replicate what it is hearing / seeing. If it has an expectation of being a success, then it will do everything it needs to to for fill this truth.
GRATITUDE - Yes, I am talking about the "Attitude of Gratitude". The more you focus on the positives of the situation - the more you will notice. And this works vice versa. For example - stop for a second. I want you to look around the room you are in right now and focus on every object that is blue - that's it, start listing them all in your head. Ok, now what I want you to do - and do this as soon as you finish reading this sentence - is close your eyes and list all the things that are brown - close your eyes now. How did you go? Hard isn't it? That is because your mind was so focused on the blue it didn't notice the brown. Focus on what you are grateful for and that is all you will notice.
CONSTANTLY DEVELOP - Plug yourself into self-development programs, read books on improving yourself in finance, personal, health, relationships, business, etc. The more you continuously grow the more open to opportunities and success you become. The top entrepreneurs and successful people are always learning, growing and developing new ideas from what they learn.
PERSEVERANCE - Commitment and perseverance is key to surviving obstacle and actually arriving at your goal. Vow now that you will never give up until your goals are achieved. With commitment like that, you have no other choice but to succeed, not matter what is thrown in front of you.
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! - 15224
