Yes, that was a smart question, because who would honestly answer "no" to such a provocation.
Â
But even if you haven't started your online business yet, or especially if you already have, and no matter how well things might be going, you know they could always be better.
Â
So the REAL question is actually this: how BADLY do you want to make more money?
Â
Enough to actually do something about it?
Â
Because the truth, the real hard truth that every online business owner needs to come to terms with is that 90% of your ultimate success or failure will happen INSIDE YOUR OWN HEAD.
Â
Controlling what you THINK you can achieve, what you are actually willing to BELIEVE you are capable of accomplishing is probably the biggest obstacle that you will have to overcome.
Â
But you know what really drives me crazy?
Â
This is the part I can't do for you.
Â
I can give you all the steps, all the to-dos, all the resources, and all the programs. I can tell you how to develop your avatar and how to structure your home page and how to get people to find you online and how to promote a product that will actually sell.
Â
But what I CAN'T do for you is make you believe in yourself. I can't make you be more persistent, or more willing to take risks and make mistakes. I can't control your thoughts or your beliefs. I can't fix your mindset.
Â
But at the end of the day, it's really the only thing that matters.
Â
So the question is then... how do you fix your mindset? What can you do to strengthen your mental game in order to become the kind of entrepreneur who doesn't quit, the kind of person who will lead your online business with confidence?
Â
Here are three practical ways to improve your mindset:
Â
1.) EMBRACE YOUR FAILURESÂ
Â
The truth is that REAL personal growth ONLY actually comes from trial and error, and from overcoming obstacles and hardships. It comes from making big mistakes and surviving them. It comes from having your heart broken or from experiencing giant disappointments and somehow finding a way to go on. It comes from experimenting and seeing
what works and what doesn't work.
Â
And that means that every time you mess up, you have the opportunity to be better and stronger than you were before. So don’t fear failure, embrace it.
Â
2.) PRACTICE POSITIVITY
Â
Positivity is ultimately a daily choice to stay optimistic and determined instead of pessimistic, negative, or apathetic. It’s not about ignoring your problems or pretending that everything is okay when it isn't. Blindly thinking that everything is going to be okay when things are clearly going wrong is actually delusional.
Â
Instead, real positivity is a willingness to confront the brutal facts of your reality, whatever they may be, and yet never lose hope that you will prevail in the end.
Â
3.) TAKE OWNERSHIP
Â
Ownership is all about taking complete responsibility for your own success and failures. It's about knowing, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that no one else is in charge of your life and your business. You can't always control every circumstance or every opportunity, but you can control how you choose to respond.
Â
And make no mistake—this is HARD.
Â
It's human nature to want to blame other people or our circumstances when things go wrong or when we fall short of our goals and expectations. It's SO much easier to point the finger than to acknowledge our own shortcomings. And it's way easier to give up when things get hard, especially if we have a legitimate excuse for quitting.
Â
But that's exactly why taking 100% ownership for your life and your business is so incredibly powerful, but also so freeing. When you take ownership, you don't have to worry about what happens to you, how other people may treat you, or what obstacles come your way, because ultimately you are in control.
Â
At the end of the day, mindset work is an ongoing process, something you’ll have to keep working on. And yet, ultimately, nothing will be more responsible for your success or failure than your ability to just keep going, no matter what.
Â
Heavy stuff my friend, but fortunately there are tools to more easy overcome all the hurdles and obstacles showing up along the road. It's an All-In Package covering you 100% from the moment you decide to make it happen.
