One thing that I worked on which was vitally important for my growth is Mindset.
I had to learn to think like a millionaire before I could become one, I had to learn to think like an entrepreneur instead of thinking like an employee.
I had to stop blaming other people for my problems and start taking responsibility for my life. I was a professional blamer up until this point. I walked away from blame and I took responsibility not for what happened to me but for how I responded to what happened to me because life’s going to happen to all of us.
If it’s always somebody else it has to change in order for me to be happy and successful then I am probably never going to be happy and successful because the world isn’t going to change to whatever I want things to be.
I decided I was going to set up my life so I would be happy or successful with or without someone else or something else changing. That’s when my life began to change. It’s a mindset thing.
I had to learn to stop being so impatient with my expectations because the biggest challenge in network marketing is the expectation gap. I’m expecting things to be easy but they are hard. I’m expecting a lot of different things.
Then, I learnt to trade expectation for appreciation, and just be grateful for the opportunity that I was presented with. Learning how to be grateful instead of resentful and learning how to understand the laws of entrepreneurship.
The laws of entrepreneurship is this; you’re going to be underpaid for a significant period of time and then you’re going to be fairly paid for a short period of time and then you’re going to be overpaid for a very long period of time.
You have to be willing to trade the underpaid for the overpaid and most people are not. Their mindset can’t handle that. That’s why most people quit after a few months because they cannot handle it.
There’s a side of foundation you build and the other side where the skyscraper is. But if you’re not seeing the skyscraper while you’re building the foundation, you’re not supposed to.
So let’s begin by thinking differently, develop skills and get rid of the limiting beliefs in the mind.
