Five Strategies to Help you Break Free of What is Standing Between You and Your Success
The first of five strategies to help you break free of what is standing between you and the success you desire: Don't Go It Alone
"Mindset Traps of an Entrepreneur"... they plague many business owners, and I am sure you would like to see some strategies to break free of these pesky little patterns that can be standing between you and your success. If you are a business owner who has not yet delegated or still struggles with figuring out how to better leverage your time by having a team, you may be suffering from mindset block #1 which is the I have to do it all myself syndrome.
How would you know if this is you? See if you related to any of these statements -
"No one could do it as good as I can."
"I'm not comfortable asking for help"
"I couldn't trust someone"
"I should be able to handle it all"
Many of us struggle with this concept and the cost is really high. The first thing I do with a business owner is to look at where they are wasting their precious time by doing things that would be better outsourced. There is the tactical piece of "How do I do this" but mostly, the place it breaks down for people is when they have the mindset block of having to do it all themselves. Very often this comes from family messages and early training about not giving permission to be vulnerable or receive support.
The first step is to make an assessment about where you are in this area. If you haven't yet mastered delegating and outsourcing (or just reaching out for support/encouragement), is it that you don't know how or could it be a mindset block?
If you push past the first sentences and find what's on the other side, you'll discover the golden nugget. For example, if you relate to the sentence, "I'm not comfortable asking for help" take it the next step further and ask yourself why. Would you feel stupid? Would you lose credibility? People think you are less than or too needy? What's the story under that? If you unravel the story that's usually unconscious or not quite in your reach, you can finally ask the magical question...Is It True? Once you look at it from this perspective, you can begin to chip away at the old belief/block so you have freedom to make a new choice. To further this questioning process, look into the work of Byron Katie. She's got a quick way to turn your erroneous thinking around. On her site go to the Do the Work section and get started taking back your power.
Next post, we'll journey together into how to blast through Trap 2. You'll be surprised how some simple shifts can really make a big difference.
Blessings,

Success Strategies
- How to get the results you want now?
Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are:
The Power of Choice
Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this.
The Power of Focus
The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives.
The Power of Commitment
This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.

Legal due diligence
- It seems like you've gotten a lot of advice on how to "value" your prospective venture. But here is something else to keep in mind: do the legal due diligence.
1. What type of structure is it? Corporation, LLC, etc? Is it in "Good Standing?"
2. Does the business have any written contracts, if so with whom? (E.G. advertisers, vendors, employees)
3. Who owns the intellectual property? Copyrights to content, trademarks?
4. How is revenue generated? How do the sellers want to be compensated? Are they willing to do an earn-out?
5. Are there any lawsuits pending or threatened?
These are just a couple ideas....

In basic terms it is the energy of Gravity conserved and reused = (Auto engaging and disengaging shafts) = perpetual motion
Perpetual motion + static friction generated in a pipe = free static electricity
Free static electricity converted to usable electricity = Free usable electricity
Free usable electricity generated by the constant friction generated by an auto engaging and disengaging machine that conserves the energy of gravity in a overcrankable clock spring
The weight is easilly lifted back up the shaft with the aid of a double pully on ropes
