8 Behaviours to Ensure Success as an Entrepreneur!
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!
MASTERMIND THE WEALTHY / SUCCESSFUL- Read the books about those idols you want to be like - whether it Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump or Richard Branson. Actually write down what you believe are their Values are, and the daily activities they do, that got them to where they are. Once you have them - do them! Copy the behaviours of a lazy person - what do you get? Lazy! Copy the behaviours of a successful person what do you get? Successful!
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 -All successful entrepreneurs have goals, and they write them down. Have Long term goals and short term goals. It is a great idea to have a goal notebook. If you haven’t done it before, start off with small daily or weekly goals. Like - I have achieved 20 marketing calls this week. Once you start achieving quite a few, then stretch yourself. When writing goals - don’t worry about the HOW, just put your goals out there and get on with your daily activities. You will be amazed how clever your unconscious mind is at finding ways to make what is possible.
DAILY ACTIVITIES THAT PRODUCE PROFITS - Obvious, I know - but even I am guilty for being distracted by non-income producing activities! The best thing you can do is to sit down and write up the actual tasks that bring in money - whether it be marketing calls, placing an ad or even having a meeting with clients. Once you have your list of direct income making activities, do at least 1 -2 of them EVERYDAY.
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.
If you pursue your goals, dreams and desires using these 8 behaviours - calling yourself a successful entrepreneur will be only natural. Good luck! Enjoy the journey, reward your triumphs and learn from your setbacks! Success is yours.
