So every Saturday morning I do a training with the company I work with. Since I am extremely passionate about Mindset I thought of the idea of doing a blog post on ways to help grow your business starting with having a successful mindset.
Don’t you love it when you get new great ideas?
Man it’s the best, that’s when you know you’re on the right path. It’s pretty amazing what we can accomplish if were open and receptive to new ideas that will impact other people’s lives in a positive light.
1. What beliefs do you need to achieve success in your business?
Try this for one second. Think about the person and lifestyle you live today…now compare that to the person and lifestyle you want to be living.
Is there a difference?
If there is contrast then you need to determine what set of beliefs do you need fill that gap.
If you’re in network marketing and have a belief money is the root of all evil, how to you think that plays a role on your ability to earn more money? Especially since you’d own a residual income business!
If you have a set of beliefs that empowered you, how do you think it would impact your ability to grow your business and have the confidence and certainty other people would feel?
Here are a few ideas behind beliefs:
- I am a genius and I use my wisdom daily
- I believe in myself and my potential
- I have everything it takes to grow my business today
- I deserve to have a thriving business
- I deserve to have freedom and peace of mind
2. Why do you want to achieve your goals?
Alright, so this is something that has been outlined MANY times in MANY different books, Cd’s, workshops, and presentations.
You’ve got to know your WHY. What is your HUGE and compelling why?
It’s always great to be reminded why you want to grow your business because that “why” will help you on the days you just don’t feel like doing it. On the days you get rejected. On the days people tell you NO. On the days you find yourself being lazy. That is why your why is so critically important.
By the way, your why most be larger that just yourself. AND should not just be about money! Really think about the deep seeded reason why you want to grow your business. Focus on that, and it will propel you through to success.
Here are a few examples of a why:
- For your family
- For a better lifestyle and freedom
- For being apart of something that gives you purpose and meaning
- For fulfilling your life vision
3. What are the new habits you must create on a daily basis?
We all have bad habits that we wish we didn’t do right?
For example, one of mine is surfing the Internet. Sometimes I get caught up watching YouTube videos that have no impact on my business and life what so ever. And sometimes I get caught up watching the UFC highlights. OK, so that doesn’t really help me create my life vision….but it is TOTAL escapism.
One of the books I am currently reading is Stephen R. Covey’s, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Right now there are things you’re doing in your life that may not be benefiting you.
What are the habits you’ve created from the minute you wake up until you minute you fall asleep? Use the Law of Comparison here just as in number 1. Compare your habits to someone who is earning the income you want to be earning. Compare your habits to someone who has the free time and lifestyle you want to be living.
Is there a difference?
If so, then figure out what’s working and what isn’t in your life. Watching TV for two hours a day isn’t going to grow your business. Determine the habits you need and make it a habitual way of living.
4. What are your strengths?
What do you do that you’re just NATURALLY good at? What are your unique abilities and core strengths?
If you’re involved in network marketing or own a small business, hire or invite people on your team who will strengthen your weaknesses.
That’s the BEAUTY of teamwork. You don’t have to be good at everything! In fact, you can completely SUCK at online marketing or researching and have a successful business. Why?
Because you invite people to come onto your team who ARE great at what you suck at. That’s the mindset aspect. Focus on strengthing what you are naturally great at, and managing what you aren’t. Invite people onto your team who play at things you have to work at.
Here are a few examples of strengths you may have:
- Persistence
- Online Marketing
- Leadership Skills
- Dynamic Presenter
- Excellent Imagination
5. What help do you need to accomplish your goals?
The faster you recognize this, the faster you will achieve success in your business.
What is one of the most annoying things in the WORLD? A know it all. Nobody likes a know it all. So ask really good questions and get help when you need it.
I am willing to ask ANYONE around the world for solutions to my answers. I’ve been blessed to have been mentored by so many people because of my willingness to recognize when I needed help.
Someone in the word has created and achieved what you want to do, it’s best to follow their path of success.

Hey Ryan, great post! Being in control of your thoughts and being mentally tough is really the key to setting up the foundations of your own success.
You are what you think you are. Which is why I like your first point about determining your beliefs, once you’ve got that sorted out you’re on the right track.
However, I think you need to always go back to that first step and check to see if you’re heading in the right direction, reassess and keep moving forward. Thanks Ryan

Hey Ryan,
Got to see this post from The Unified Tribe. I am relieved that the tribe is gathering great members and content. Like yours!
I love the multiple video idea. I find that I often avoid watching videos when the total time is too long. The way you did it, I was hooked with the first one so I naturally watched them all. Brilliant! I have never seen it done like that.
@annalaura – Thanks! So great to connect with you. I LOVE helping people in these areas, glad I could be of service.
@Benoit – The Tribe is AWESOME, totally love it. I’m the exact same way, the first thing I always do is look at the time, if it’s over 3 minutes I don’t watch it…omg my attention spam is bad!! haha
