Increase Results with These Powerful Mindset Shifts

Guest post by: Janis Pettit

Article Overview: You often hear people talking about the Millionaire Mindset and how developing one can alter the course of your business. I believe that’s true and I’ve seen it in action. But some people object, saying that making a million dollars isn’t the reason they started their business. Well it’s really not about whether you want to make $100,000 or millions. Millionaire mindset is just a way for you to grasp the concept of having a way of thinking that is so powerful, joyful and honest that it’s worth a million bucks.

Increase Results with These Powerful Mindset Shifts

You often hear people talking about the Millionaire Mindset and how developing one can alter the course of your business. I believe that's true and I've seen it in action. But some people object, saying that making a million dollars isn't the reason they started their business. Well it's really not about whether you want to make $100,000 or millions. Millionaire mindset is just a way for you to grasp the concept of having a way of thinking that is so powerful, joyful and honest that it's worth a million bucks. Last night I watched a movie that brought back with full emotional impact a very painful time in my life. It was like watching my life story replay itself on the TV screen. It touched me in a deep emotional place that reminded me clearly what put me on a spiritual journey to profound inner growth. It also reminded me of how far I'd come--from being unsure and lacking in confidence to being able to tap into my inner power in a way that has allowed me to achieve many of my dreams and help hundreds of others in a big way.

The moment you tap into the emotional core where your deepest desires and dreams are stored and you make a true resolution to do what it takes to turn that desire or dream into reality, you've begun building a millionaire mindset. Every time you waver you only need to return to that place that touches you deeply and renew your resolve.

Then you need to uncover whether you truly believe you can make your goal a reality. Do you have an inner knowing that you can have a successful business, a great lifestyle, financial freedom? Or do you have doubts? We all have doubts and fears form time to time, but learning to recognize them for the mental clutter they are and learning to act anyway knowing that they aren't true is part of that millionaire mindset.

Take a few moments to reflect on each of these mindset jewels and see if you can be honest about where you need to change the way you think.

Believe you can make your dreams a reality

If there is a nagging voice that says, "why even try, you know it won't work" then you may need to question why you're putting yourself down. Just wanting something badly and visualizing it will not make it so if you don't take the right action. If you don't believe you can turn that dream into reality, you will act accordingly. You also need to feel sure that what you're doing is truly what you want to do-not what someone else thinks you should do. I often ask new clients this: if you had several million dollars would you still be doing what you're doing? If the answer is, "yes. I'm passionate about it", then you're on the right track.

Come from a place of love, not lack

Successful entrepreneurs who are also happy and well respected are excited about their work and they love helping their clients-in fact they help them with love. At the same time, they don't enable their clients but hold them to their commitment to reach their goals.

People that are afraid that they won't ever have enough clients or that they need to siphon clients from their competitors usually struggle to launch and flourish. This is a lack mindset rather than a mindset of abundance and it affects everything you do. When I hear people say that they need help but can't afford to get it, or that they need to spend money on marketing or technology to grow their business but have no money to spend, I know that they are scared to believe and invest in themselves. Why would clients flock to someone who doesn't believe and trust in themselves and in the decisions they make? Would you invest in working with someone that never spent a penny to improve themselves or their knowledge?

This is about loving yourself enough to willingly pay for the help and resources you need because you are determined to do whatever it will take to do what you were meant to do in the world.

Stay detached

Stay detached from your failures and successes. You will experience failures in your business-marketing that doesn't work, products that don't sell, ideas that go no where. Having a millionaire mindset means you analyze what went wrong, and start over without letting it stop you cold. Stay detached from your successes as well. When you succeed you can feel good while realizing that it's just one step in an ongoing journey. Detachment means you are calm and peaceful, not on a roller coaster ride with each success or failure. It doesn't mean you are lacking in caring or compassion.

Surround yourself with the right people

Surround yourself with people who believe in you but won't judge you. These are the people you can go to for advice and trust they have no personal agenda. Surround yourself with people who are where you want to be so you can observe and learn from them. Surround yourself with people who will hold you accountable and who will celebrate your victories with you. Consider working with a small business coach or mentor. This will help you overcome negative and defeating thoughts and habits that could hold you back.

Look each day at the actions you take. They will tell you what you're thinking. Renew your determination and resolve to improve each day and your business will flourish.

Run a major competition - You beat me to the punch LoveInventions! I was just on my way to post this! The idea is simple: run a competition for a major prize to get people posting. In this case Darren put up a $729 Nikon DSLR up for grabs as the top prize. The winner was selected randomly and each post you wrote gave you another chance to win. [quote:1nc4sv0r]The Goal - the aim of the exercise was simple. To sign up new members to my forum and increase page views. My hope was to have a bumper month but also get new members signed up to have an ongoing impact on overall activity going forward.[/quote:1nc4sv0r] [quote:1nc4sv0r]Results: Traffic - Over the full month traffic was increased 66.7%.[/quote:1nc4sv0r] [quote:1nc4sv0r]Results: New Members - Recruiting new members to the forum was another goal of the competition. We’d had an influx in January of 1803 new sign ups as a result of a previous smaller competition but since had been around the 1200 per month. April however saw a boost in numbers by an extra 2823 members.[/quote:1nc4sv0r] [quote:1nc4sv0r]Results: Activity - Another bonus related to increased traffic is the increases in user activity on the forum. Here’s the increase in new ‘threads’ to the forum (up from the 1500’s to just over 4000 for the month). And here is the increase in new posts (up from 1400 per month to over 43000 for the month).[/quote:1nc4sv0r] [quote:1nc4sv0r] The Downside So far it’s sounding fairly rosy isn’t it. Increases in traffic, members, activity and even earning are all good. However there was two downsides. 1. Moderation Workload - I have an amazing team of moderators to DPS but the month of April was the hardest that they’ve ever worked. I totally underestimated the extra load upon them in setting up this competition. It has made me reconsider how I run future competitions. 2. Impact upon Quality of Reader Interaction - over all the increased activity of the site brought in some wonderful new members who are interacting on the site with genuine interaction. However a small number of new members were just there for the competition - even though I made it clear that spammy entries wouldn’t win. This impacted moderators workloads but also the overall morale on the site a little. I think we managed to contain it but again - next time I run a competition it’ll not be based upon post numbers but rather some sort of quality level of interaction.[/quote:1nc4sv0r] What do you guys think? Is it worth testing out? Considering we already give out over $1,000 in month prizes, what would be the ultimate prize that we award at the end of the competition?
Treasure Hunt: Inside the Mind of the New Consumer - Treasure Hunt: Inside the Mind of the New Consumer Michael J. Silverstein 2006 From the inside jacket: "Today's consumers can seem impossible to understand, and even harder to please. For instance, the average mall shopper will spend about $100, then leave when she hits that limit. SHe'll probably buy shoes rather than clothing, because she doesn't want to think about her dress size. And the store most likely to get her money isn't the one with the nicest display or the deepest discounts - it's the one closest to her parking spot." Okay, ladies here at evancarmichael.com? Do you follow this generalization? I myself go to bookstores, and nowhere else. Being self-employed in a home office, I don't need to buy new clothes, but I confess I did buy a new pair of bike shoes recently... The Introduction states: "This book tells the story of how middle-class consumers around the world are reshaping the consumer-goods market by trading down to low-price products and services, trading up to premium ones, and avoiding the boredom and low value that increasingly characterizes the middle. These consumers, mostly women, are better educated, have more disposable income, and are buying with more sophistication than ever." Table of Contents 1. The Bifurcating Market 2.

Re: Book Review - The Freedom Formula - Hi Shri, Thanks for your input. I have read a bit of the book. Now I say something which many may know, true freedom comes from the true source of Freedom. We read this in Luke 4v17-18. ......has sent me to proclaim freedom for the....proclaim of the Lord's favor. Later it reads, the people were amazed. She mentions God, but what about his son Jesus, who died and rose again. Jesus. Powerful. More and more people asking questions, why are we here and what is the purpose for our life. All the answers are in the Bible, which stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. A very successful guy in the US is Joel Osteen from Houston Texas, with over 40'000 people meeting every week. He has written a book: "Your Best Life Now" Well worth reading, too. Regards Beat
