Law of Attraction/Millionaire Mindset/Tips for Entrepreneurs/ Internet Marketing

I am often asked, “How do I even begin to work on my mindset?” My first answer usually is, “You need to begin working on your mindset daily! ” Part of creating a Millionaire Mindset is being willing to “train” your mind to think about what it is you want with a clear vision and focusing on your vision over and over. The key to receiving the RESULTS you want is believing it is already on its way to you! You ACT as if you already have what it is that you desire! It’s a done deal! I will tell you that this is an art and an art is perfected by training!  No, it is NOT  easy, however if you work on training yourself to “Shift” your thoughts, it will shift your energy and you will start to experience a huge shift in your results. My question to you is are you committed to creating the reality in your business and your life that you truly want?

I have a client that is extremely talented and has an on-line business, but she wants to move that business to a whole new level. In fact, her goal is to reach a million dollars in the next twelve months. Her first step in that process was working with her belief system and making a decision.  We needed to look at what is her belief around money? Does she really believe she can earn a million dollars next year? Has she made the decision? You have to decide and stick with your decision…no wavering, no doubt…be willing to walk the walk and talk the talk and do what it takes. Does she really believe it is possible and is it congruent with her belief system.  If she was currently making less than $100,000 and wanted to move to the million dollar mark, it would be a big jump and she might not actually “believe” in the leap.  Guess what?  She has made the leap is doing the hard work AND she is now well on her way toward her goal. We have created a blueprint for her business that incorporates both mindset and solid business principles that she is following.  It’s a blueprint that maps out how she gets to the million dollars. She is clear about her decision, her blueprint and she was and is willing to do the work!

Where are you on your journey? If you were taking a boat trip for four days, would the captain of the vessel have a destination? Of course, he would have done his homework, charted the way, checked the weather and knew exactly what he needed to do to get to the appointed destination. As an entrepreneur, you need to do exactly the same. Make a decision where you are going. Chart how you are going to get there and see yourself already there.

Make a switch today and start “charting” your success journey!

Wow! When I watched this video and the story of Natalie Merchant’s newest album, I was so “inspired”. First of all, the fact that she took five years to create this work of art and that she allowed the flow of creativity and inspiration to move her through the process was amazing.

We live in a world of wanting instant inspiration, instant success and instant results. Instant gratification. The reality is that sometimes creativity is an inward process and more about our mindset than we realize.

I was recently attending an internet mastermind event and the realization that so many creative souls were wanting instant business, instant success and instant recognition was so prevalent. (Me included!) The leader spoke quite clearly about building a business one step at a time. Her particular journey has been well over ten years with lots of ups and downs and now great success. She succinctly pointed out that her journey was a process and she worked on her mindset daily.

There are many times that we see the outward results without looking at the path that was necessary to get those results! As entrepreneurs, some of our greatest challenges are to stay on course, check with our inner voice and mastermind with other entrepreneurs to share our ideas, businesses, and journey so we can collaborate and learn from others journeys as well as support each other!

Natalie Merchant could have produced an album a year for the last five years. She instead chose to listen to her inner voice and to connect with her creative muse. You can tell that it was an amazing process of discovery. Imagine discovering words written long ago (in poetry) and bringing them back to life in song!

What are you doing today or this week or this month or this year to stay on YOUR journey? To be on YOUR path, not someone else that you admire and would like to be like, but authentic to who you are and your gifts. Take inventory today and get back on YOUR creative path…..Wake up. Leave your sleep.

Are you willing to look at your belief systems and start making changes …….today

What do you imagine would happen to some of the wealthiest people if they were to lose a significant portion of their income? Can you imagine Bill Gates sitting in a corner crying about what he had lost, or can you see him getting back up and fighting his way to the top again? How about Donald Trump and his reactions to public attacks? You may be thinking, yeah but these are extraordinary men with the connections and ideas to succeed. Both of those things are true, but it is neither the connections nor the ideas alone that will launch you to super success. You are going to need a little millionaire mindset fighting mentality!

Having the right contacts, heritage and even family wealth to start off with is great and surely makes being wealthy easier, however when you look at the number of stars, heirs and lottery winners who have lost their fortunes you have to wonder. Starter money, the right schools, family connections and a rich heritage are great places to start because they give you the opportunity to learn the mindsets that will keep you wealthy for the long term but they are not guarantees of success.

So, what exactly will guarantee your success? To find the answer to that question you must look to the brilliant minds who have achieved this status. Henry Ford summed up the millionaire mindset quite nicely when he said that whether you believe you can achieve or not, you will be correct. These people simply believe that they can and will be wealthy and then search out the ways to do just that.

How can you begin to tap into this powerful mindset? First thing you must do is negate the possibility of failure! No matter how many times you miss the mark you must learn from the process and begin again, many people have bailed out of the game just at the moment their greatest achievements were about to happen! Never quit, never give up and believe you can be successful.

Today I want you to tune into YOUR Millionaire Mindset!

Did you know that your mindset is related to how you react to people, places and events. Let’s look at failure for a moment, when you fail in some endeavor how do you react? Do you hang your head in shame, beat yourself up, hide in a hole or turn around and say, “Well that didn’t work, maybe this will!” One of the greatest minds of the past millennium, Thomas Edison, is quoted as saying “Failed? – why we haven’t failed, we only know the thousands of ways that won’t work!”

This attitude is a huge part of YOUR Millionaire Mindset and too many people simply miss out. Fear of failure is a big obstacle to many individuals. Many times people will quit when they are on the verge of success, whether it is an invention, creative idea or a work related project. (I have certainly experienced that myself!) The next time you are sure you cannot make it another step, consider Florence Chadwick. Florence Chadwick was the first woman to swim the English Channel both ways. Her next swimming feat was to navigate the 26 miles from Catalina to the California coast line. She swam for 15 hours with her goal firmly in sight, and then a thick fog rolled in which obscured her view

Despite the encouragement of her trainer and mom, she gave up and got in the boat, less than one mile from the shore! When asked about it later she admitted that being unable to see her goal was too much for her. On her next attempt the same thing happened but this time instead of getting in the boat, she focused on a mental image of the shoreline she desperately wanted to reach. Not only was she the first woman to finish this crossing she did so two hours faster than her male counterparts. When you can keep an image of what you want to achieve in your mind nothing can stop you.

I work on on this mindset daily! Part of having a Millionaire Mindset is being willing to “train” your mind to think about what it is you want with your clear vision and keep focusing on that thoughts over and over. The KEY is believing that whatever it is you are wanting is already on its way to you! Are you willing to take the time to truly become that which you desire and want to be.

Start training your mind daily!

There is a saying, “you get what you need when you need it”. I think of it as synchronicity and power flow. When you need it, it will come. Always. Always. Well, today is no exception and when I saw this video…the timing was perfect. All week there has been excitement and news about the World Cup going on in South Africa. There are excited fans and just a sense of comraderie in the air with others who share the love of the sport of soccer.

Well, life is sort of the same. We are all playing the “game” and are constantly winning, losing or learning lessons that take us to the next round. Many times we have to get up, dust ourselves off and start over again. Somedays we don’t have the energy to move forward with our goals and we have to sit with them and wait until the next wave of energy or direction comes, then we can get back on track.

As the video so aptly states Failure is NOT important. The fact is, in many instances, it can be one of the greatest of life’s lessons. There are days, moments, minutes, weeks when we feel like what we are doing is not working. Our goals don’t seem to be clear and we have lost sight of what it was we were aiming for in the first place. That is the time we step back and just take inventory. Go deeply within ourselves and question what it is we really are trying to accomplish or achieve. The one thing to keep in mind during these times of self evaluation is that we are NOT failing. We are winning. We are winning at facing this journey of life. And we are PLAYERS. We are “in the game”.

So for now….let’s all enjoy the game of soccer and the game of life. Failure is not important…what you do to overcome it is!

One of the hardest things for me to do is to do nothing. And yet, I know and have learned over the years, that when you don’t know what to do next, what step to take, or what action to take the very best thing to do is NOT to do anything! Just be STILL and wait.

We all recognize that we are a society where doing “more” is the accepted norm; it’s a part of the American creed. And…please hear me clearly, there are times when making a move at the right time or doing what needs to be done is necessary. However there is definitely a time to be still and wait. – wait for the next thing to come, the next signal which will direct you when to make your next move and to trust that in the stillness the answer will com.

I am a list maker. I make out my list most every morning and I actually love the LIST. My daughter is also a list maker (I think it is an inherited trait, like doing crossword puzzles) or I suppose you might say I am right brained, a doer or whatever label you may want to attach to me. However, I KNOW when I am not grounded and need to just, step back and breathe, be still and wait for whatever the next step might be. It is a discipline which might even be a lost art.

When I moved to the mountains some years ago after having perfected the art of “doing”, one of my top priorities was to “know” a day. What does that mean? It meant I was so caught up in the day-to-day of my business and being “busy,” that I didn’t KNOW the day. How did it start? Did the sun come up roaring over the mountains in a cloudless sky or was it obscured by the clouds and felt like a “lazy day”? Was the wind blowing and in what direction? Did it change or stay the same?

I thought to myself, “What IF I only had a few days left and I knew it? What would I want to do? Besides being with those that I love, I would want to experience the day, breathe it in, be grateful for it, know the essence of what it was like, because you know what….no two days or alike. And then there is also the night! AH….. The night! Same thing…no two are alike.

I know that many of you are busy entrepreneur’s starting new businesses, running current businesses, taking care of families and starting new projects daily. I listen to you say that you are on overwhelm and that there are not enough hours in the day to do everything you need to get done. I also hear from clients that they are on a technology spinning wheel set on “automatic.”

I totally can relate to that. When I get too much on my plate and my mind is way too busy and things are swirling around I know it’s time to be still and wait, catch up with myself ( my authentic self) and STOP …. It’s time for me to do one thing: DON’T DO ANYTHING.

Here is my method. Schedule it in to your calender….Set aside DON’T DO ANYTHING TIME. You’ll be surprised what comes up!

In an interview with the author Geneen Roth about her new book “Women Food and God,” Oprah said, “This is an opportunity to finally end the war with weight and unlock the door to freedom.” Those of us that have been following Oprah for the past twenty years know that she has struggled with her weight and has experienced both ends of the “scale”…great weight loss and great weight gain. As women, I know very few that don’t think they need to “lose” weight, even if they are a size 6. Geneen says “The choices we make about what we put in our mouths are only stand-ins for the beliefs we carry in our minds and our hearts! WOW! We’re back to beliefs again!

I haven’t read the book, however I am going to order today! It fits in perfectly with mindset and beliefs we have around all aspects of our lives. Take the time to read the interview at http://www.oprah.com/health/An-Excerpt-from-Geneen-Roths-Women-Food-And-God In the meantime, you may want to order the book under my “Recommended Readings” Section on the right hand side of the blog.
