How do the wealthy make their millions and make it look so easy? They seem to make money effortlessly, yet for us it seems so hard. What you will find is that most of the successful entrepreneurs have similar behavioural attributes that encourage success. If you follow these 8 simple steps, which are activities of successful entrepreneurs, then you will be joining them in the near future.
DELVE INTO THE MINDS OF THE WEALTHY - Write down the values and beliefs of the entrepreneurs you admire or hope to be as successful as, and simply adjust yours to be the same. Another great idea is to actually find a local successful entrepreneur and ask if you can have a coffee with them to ‘pick their brain’ so to speak. Obviously compliment them, and then explain why you admire them so and ask if it is possible that they would share a few lessons to help you on your way to success. If you can’t do that, read the biographies of people like Richard Branson, or Donald Trump and learn that way. Replicate success - and that is what you will get, copy the behaviours of the lazy, and that is also what you will get! Which do you want?
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 - 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.
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.
APPRECIATE - Focus and appreciate everything you have. Some of you may have heard of the saying “Attitude of Gratitude”. This will attract more positivity into your life. For example, let’s say your mind is a search engine and you put type in the word “POVERTY”. What are you going to get? Hundreds of websites that will talk about poverty - how is that going to make you feel? Poversish. Ok, so let’s do the opposite - what happens if you type in the words “SUCCESS” or “WEALTH”, what do you get? Hundreds of positive sites on success and wealth. Your mind is the same, so only type into it what you want - not what you don’t want.
CONTINUAL GROWTH / PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - This is very important - remember to never stop growing. All the successful entrepreneurs have open minds and are always learning. Watch Oprah - she is always learning something new on her show. And with those new Learnings she continues to grow her empire. “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” Charles “Tremendous” Jones
COMMITMENT - Sometimes you may feel like you are going up a stream without a paddle - I have felt that often. I have even felt that sometimes I am actually going backwards. What I have realised though - is to never give up. Stay focused on your goals and stay committed. If you are determined, no matter what obstacle comes your way, you will ALWAYS find a way to continue towards your goal!
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!
