How often have you muttered the phrase “they have the wrong mindset.” This is usually the remark I make about a person with the wrong mindset.
But your mindset is an important one when you’re thinking about starting an online business or service.
A good mindset doesn’t create success right away, but the wrong mindset will certainly limit your results.
Here are some common wrong mindset statements that I eventually realized had to be changed.
1. I can work when I want to.
False! When you first get started, forget about your social life because you’ll be putting in many long hours of work to get your internet business started.
The way you look at things and how you handle situations will make the difference of how your business plays out.
You can get up earlier every morning, or even stay up later after you get home from work.
2. I can get rich quick!
I was guilty of this for sure. But when you stop being a “biz opp hopper” looking for the next game changer.
Run away from anyone who tells you about a quick or easy way to get rich quick, they are lying to you.
3. I don’t need a business plan.
If you’re going to build a business, don’t take shortcuts because you need a business plan.
This applies to an online product or service business as well as the traditional brick and mortar business.
If you want to be successful then put in the work, build long term assets and be consistent.
4. Now that you have an internet business, you don’t need a boss.
It it is to be, it is up to me! You are your own boss.
If you don’t believe that you can do this, then do yourself a favor and QUIT right now.
You may not realize this, but you’re in the lead generation business.
Once you start generating leads, you can focus on strengthening those relationships with those people so they can get to know, like and trust you.
Your self belief system is #1.
So if you’re self defeating yourself like this you have to put a stop to it NOW.
When you find yourself saying “I can’t, I hope, I will try, ok I’m going to try that” then STOP yourself right there and correct what you just said.
Once you believe in yourself, no obstacle, person or any setback can stop you.
