Entrepreneur Mindset

Last Updated 4/1/2020

If you want to succeed in business, you must have an entrepreneur mindset. Your thought process is key in the way you maneuver through life. It’s one of the defining factors that determines whether you succeed in ventures pursued or not. Check out life quotes and simple success hacks used by the top 3%.

When something negative happens in our lives, we too often ask ourselves “Why me” or “What did I do to deserve this,” instead of seeing the circumstance as an opportunity to learn and grow. We instantly go into victim mode, spending too much time overthinking everything and feeling down on ourselves.

Bad situations challenge us to change and expand our way of thinking. Instead of asking “why me?” ask “what can I learn from this situation?” or “what could I have done differently to have achieved a better outcome?” Never underestimate the power your thoughts have on your life. Train your mind to see the positive in EVERY situation you are in, confronting challenges with optimism. Don’t waste anymore valuable time, dwelling on things you can not change, but use those same situations as a means to learn, evolve and grow. Watch how this change your life.

Success is all about sacrificing the now for later! Do what they won’t, to live like they can’t.

Where you are and are not in life right now is because of decisions you made. You cannot change the road conditions, but as the driver, you can steer in the direction in which you would like to go. The reality you create is shaped by what you focus your attention on and the thoughts that you manifest for yourself. Your future is what you make it.

You and another person can be placed in the same predicament and have two different outcomes based on the way you both decide to look at/handle the situation. Your thought process is key in the way you maneuver through life. It’s one of the defining factors that determines whether you succeed in ventures pursued. It’s imperative that you TRAIN YOURSELF, your mind, to see the positive in EVERY situation you are in. There’s always someone worse off pushing through. You have no excuse. Use logic and rationale in problem solving. You cannot change your situation by giving up…and being negative only causes unnecessary stress both mentally and physically. Be a proactive thinker. Stay optimistic in your future, continue pushing forward and continue training your mindset. Vital. Positive thinking leads to a rewarding life with much growth and opportunities.

Procrastination is a thief of time. Why put off until tomorrow, what can be done today. The time is now. Your first step may not be your best step, but it’s a step in the right direction. Let’s go!

When you find a need you are passionate about fulfilling, perfect your craft first and the money will follow.
1. People pay for expertise.
2. People are drawn to consistent, dedicated individuals, and WILL support you based off your passion and determination in what you do.

Knowledge is not power alone. Just because you know something don’t make you powerful. It makes you aware. The power comes with action, using what you know and turning it into something more. The action brings the experience. The experience brings the knowledge. We must stay active mentally and physically. Mind-feeding. Seek the answers and stop waiting for them to find you. Then use those answers to solve problems. People pay for expertise. Lets be experts in what we do.

*It’s important to remember that the human capital is your most valuable asset.

Stay optimistic. Life is full of lessons. Regret nothing and learn from everything!

If you are the only person in the room with all the answers, how will you grow? Surround yourself with those who can teach you or you can bounce ideas off of. Time is more valuable than money, so make sure you’re spending it learning, growing, building and evolving. Just like school, once you’ve completed and outgrown one level, you must advance to the next to continually elevate and stimulate your mind.

If your goals make you nervous, believe me, you are on the right track. Setting goals helps us grow and expand, pushing ourselves to transform in ways that we could only imagine. We hear all the time that we need to set realistic goals. What exactly does that mean? It sounds like you have already begun to set limitations on where you could go. Lets set goals, not limits. Strive for bigger. Strive for better. Step out your comfort zone and become so uncomfortable that you transform into a person you once only dreamed of becoming. Envision the exact life you want to live, not one that your current situation allows, and set S.M.A.R.T goals to get there. We have a lifetime to grow, so shoot for the stars.

Those who don’t know you now, will know you soon enough. Stay quiet and let your hard work speak volumes. Keep improving your product and learning your craft. Brand and market yourself crazy. Appeal to the masses. Stand out while everyone is busy fitting in. Work so hard that people line up to be on your team. Hustle so hard that a simple logo will tell your story for you.

According to “The Millionaire Next Door” authors Stanley and Danko, being wealthy in America has more to do with hard work, saving diligently, and living below your means than it is about inheritance, advanced degrees, or even intelligence.

Money management is important when looking to scale your business and prepare for retirement. You must practice discipline in saving and in spending your money. And this doesn’t take putting tons away all at once. Consistency is everything. Find a number/percentage you are comfortable with and never look back. You won’t even notice it’s gone. After a while, it will just feel like a bill that needs to be paid. “I couldn’t believe how much I was able to save in 3 years.” You work hard NOW to enjoy the benefits LATER. Just because you have it, don’t mean you have to spend it. Let’s practice self-control and healthy money habits starting today!

“If you do not separate from your distractions, your distractions will separate you from your goals.” – Carol Sankar

There will be a natural process of elimination that occurs on your journey. Anyone who is toxic and refuses to grow and change whether family or friend, must be left behind until they are ready to catch up. It’s called separation before elevation. Get ready for it, pay attention and don’t interrupt the process. Time to level up.

The world and everything in it is constantly evolving. If you are unable to adapt, you will not grow. If you do not grow, you don’t succeed.

As a business owner you have to always be aware of the changes in your industry, and make the proper adjustments. This will help with your competitive edge. Stay relevant. Be bold and innovative. Keep a progressive mindset.

Change is inevitable and we can either effect a desired change ourselves, or be subject to the results of someone else’s change. You choose.

If you want to run a successful business you have to know how to focus your attention on the bigger picture. Micromanaging is easy, yet time consuming. You thinking that you can get things done more efficiently or faster than someone else, will leave you spending more time on the simple details rather than actually running your business. As an effective leader, you must trust others to help you build your empire, so that you can focus on planning, strategizing and scaling your business. The only person in your company who is intrinsically motivated to grow your business is you, so do it!

People will dislike you for being different because they don’t have the courage to live beyond society’s standards. The only way to make a change in this world is to be different. So embrace being unique. Innovators are laughed at until those laughing are using the product invented. They called Einstein crazy right? Let’s create the unthinkable entrepreneurs. Dare to be different.

You have to believe in yourself or no one else will. Stay innovative and educated on your product. Sometimes your hustle alone attracts people before your actual product does. People love supporting those who consistently put in the work and those who are expertise in the field.
