An entrepreneurial mindset is a set of beliefs, thought processes, and ways of viewing the world that drives entrepreneurial behavior and success.

There are many benefits to having a strong mindset as an entrepreneur. For example it

Helps you to align your life with your success

Helps you to operate from flow not force

Helps to reinforce your most intimate beliefs, attitudes and feelings about yourself

It strengthens both your confidence and resilience

All of which you need to build a profitable and impactful business . If you’re like most people you’re likely wondering how to get there.

Don’t worry boo I got you.

Here are three ways to cultivate your entrepreneurial mindset .

Spend time with other entrepreneurs

Research says we are an average of the top 5 people we spend time with!

If you’re around people who play small you will to! If you’re around people who believe in themselves and take risks you will too!

It’s imperative surround yourself with people who understand your journey and are supportive of it!

Take some time to foster relationships with entrepreneurs who have been in your shoes. Learn from their successes and failures. This will help you to foster a growth mindset, which is one of the best tools you can have to create the success you desire and deserve!

Get comfortable being uncomfortable

There is nothing comfortable about being an entrepreneur.

I am saying that to be honest!

Being an entrepreneur involves rejection, risk, failure, embarrassment, anxiety, criticism, tears, and self doubt.

None of this is fun!

But one thing I have learned along the way is that whenever you take a risk, you will either win or you’ll learn. And failure is the best teacher there is.

Prioritize learning and growth

It’s tempting to look at a successful entrepreneurs and assume they’ve got it all figured out. But the most successful entrepreneurs will be the first to acknowledge that they’ll NEVER know it all. They’re constantly pursuing new knowledge and new ideas. They are constantly surrounding themselves with people who push them and individuals who they can learn from.

Make personal development a part of your lifestyle. Hire mentors and coaches that support you with moving towards who you’re truly called to be. Every day, create a routine aligned with your success. Move your body, set aside time to read blogs, articles, and books that help you increase your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and feel even more motivated and inspired to move forward.

Strengthening your mindset doesn’t happen by accident. It’s something you must be intentional about because in our day to day life we are often distracted by things that have nothing to do with our overall growth- most of which come from our thoughts and beliefs.

And you’re responsible for your own disturbances.....

By now, you’ve probably figured out that achieving success as a coach requires more than being an inspiring person, but if you’re like most people you’re wondering where to get started.

It doesn’t matter what social media site you use video needs to be a major part of your social media strategy.

Video has a higher perceived value in the online space because video content typically performs best with most algorithms, based on the fact it captures a viewer's attention for longer.

In my new bundle Leveraging The Power Of Video you will learn how to:

- Magnify your unique vibe as you confidently close more clients without burning out

- Create a streamlined video strategy

- How to keep your audience hooked while being true to yourself

I read recently that LeBron invests a million a year into improving his body so that he can be his best and earn a NBA salary of $40 million a year. That means he invested 2.5% of his salary into the thing that is responsible for his salary. And that’s just his financial investment I can only begin to imagine the time investment he makes into his vision.

When you think of your goals & what you’re working towards what are you doing to invest in them?

Soooooo many people are terrified of investing and this is why (I am saying this from a place of love 🥰) so many people remain in the same exact situation- feeling unfulfilled, feeling that their dreams are too far fetched, and feeling bitter watching everyone else around them progress ....

I get it, investing in yourself can seem scary or risky but if you want to up-level you can’t stay in your comfort zone or even rely on your current way of thinking to get there.

If you want to up-level your mind, business and life you will need to invest strategically which includes spending money on books, seminars, business training, business/networking events, travel and anything that improves your mindset & grows your network.

When you’re about to invest and you’re beginning to feel that fear ask yourself are you making a decision from your current way of thinking or are you making a decision aligned with your future self?

Make the decision today that your future self will thank you for because at the end of the day you’re your greatest asset

In the coaching space it's easy and tempting to compare your business, clients and offers with everyone.

Can you relate to this?

The trouble with that is it can cause you to get thrown off and also lose track with the value you bring to your audience.

I find that many coaches get shiny object syndrome because they do not have the clarity, or confidence to focus on their greatest strengths.

Then in turn when you feel unaligned or frustrated this can cause your focus and in turn your revenue to slip. Then before you know it you're struggling with shiny object syndrome.

Let's be honest with the online space being a big part of coaching now its eacy to get distracted by shiny objects. Every.single.day you are looking at new coaches, new offers, new content which can entice you to fall victim to shiny object syndrome.

Today I want to talk about how to avoid shiny object syndrome as a coach Join us in the coach to clients academy here: https://www.nicolyawilliams.com/coach-to-client

A daily routine is a great way to become more efficient, save time planning, procrastinate less, get more tasks done, and achieve your goals. With a set routine, you will spend less time each day creating a unique action plan. Instead, you will wake up knowing exactly what you are going to do and how you will execute your tasks. This saves you time that you would normally use contemplating what to work on next or preparing for unexpected decisions.

Creating a standard outline for your day can help you prioritize your objectives to ensure you achieve them. If you already have a plan, you will procrastinate less since you do not need to build up willpower to do it, it becomes a habit. With a daily routine, you will have more time than usual, so you can complete more goals that you set out for yourself on any given day. Additionally, a routine reduces unnecessary stress and allows for a more calm and peaceful work-life balance.

The workday of an entrepreneur can be challenging and long, but a routine will help you produce meaningful and consistent services for the most important part of your business, the clients.

How to Create a Meaningful Routine for Yourself

The hardest part of a routine is simply beginning it. There are many strategies on how to create an effective morning routine for yourself and you can tailor these tips to fit your individual lifestyle.

First, you should take the time to write what you want to be a part of your routine. You can decide which items to prioritize, what timeframe these tasks should be completed in, and schedule-in breaks or buffer times. This planning process will allow you to be mindful of creating an effective routine.

Once you have your goals outlined, it will be much easier to visualize how you will start implementing these habits into your everyday life. A routine becomes a habit over time, so you are not expected to have a flawless new lifestyle overnight. Patience with yourself as you build your good practices is key in allowing the routine to be sustainable.

Common Habits to Include in Your Morning Routine

Everyone will have different needs and goals for a morning routine, so modify these habits to suit your personal life.

In the morning, strive to wake up as early as possible. You can begin by arising a few minutes earlier than you normally would and slowly adjust your alarm until you are always waking up at the desired hour.

Working out in the morning is an incredible way to jump-start your mind and help you feel better. Exercise is healthy for both the mind and body. By starting your day with your favorite workout, you will think clearer, get more done, and feel less stressed.

Start your day with your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or lemon water. Giving yourself small pleasures in the morning can set you up with a great mood for the rest of your workday.

Spending time asking yourself meaningful questions about your goals can help you become more aware of your deepest desires and what you want to achieve. A common question to ask yourself when you wake up is: “If today was the last day of your life, would you still want to do what you’re about to do today?” If the answer is no, you can understand how you can better allocate your time and resources to maximize your day and become happier at work.

Reading or listening to inspirational quotes or podcasts first thing in the morning can start your day off right. If you are surrounding yourself with positive affirmations, you will create a more optimistic attitude and atmosphere for the day.

Meditation is another habit many successful people implement in their morning routines. Practicing deep breathing and other meditative exercises help you calm down and clear your mind before you begin your workday.

You don’t NEED a coaching certification to become a coach. However having the knowledge, the integrity, and the tools to facilitate and support your clients on a deeper level is so important

We live in a world where anybody can call themselves a coach …and a lot of them are great! But if you’re really serious about standing out as a coach, it starts with truly knowing you can deliver results. The coaching space is highly unregulated. Many people call themselves coaches and have great intentions but don’t really have the expertise the experience or the knowledge base to back them up. When you get certified by a credible source you get to validate your commitment to your business. Credentialing proves to clients that you have the skills that it takes and it helps you get noticed in a sea of “pseudo-coaches.” My certification program is officially opened.

Becoming a coach can have a huge impact on your professional and personal life. Whether its because you want to explore coaching to further develop your ability to help others, or a desire for a sense of purpose, becoming a coach changes you and your relationships for the better. Many people love coaching and decide to take it a step further by becoming certified as well. Choosing to become certified as a coach is very honorable step yet it can be overwhelming. It seems like now a days there are certification programs coming from all over, and for most people that can be overwhelming.

In today’s podcast episode , I will share how to find the best certification program that works for you and your business model.

Trying a one size fits all approach to expanding your brand is a sure fire way to burnout and blend in

None of which you truly want

If you want to become a highly sought after coach you must stand out

Sure it may feel like you’re going against industry standard

Yup it will certainly feel a little scary, but it will be beyond worth it.

Here are three ways to stand out as a coach

Learn to leverage your authenticity - It’s easy to fall into the cookie cutter coach approach (that’s what I call it) where you’re doing what every other coach is doing, but that’s the best way to blend in and in turn get lost on the sea of other coaches. If you want to increase your income and impact you have to be intentional about standing out.Too many coaches are pretending to be something they're not. Changing their voice, showing up in a way that doesn't match who they really are etc. Doing this is not allowing you to create a sustainable brand. Instead identify who you truly are and give yourself permission to show up from that place. For example, I do not cus on a day to day basis. Therefore when I write blogs, or do lives etc I don't cus there either. I don't want my clients to come to me and find out I am someone totally different behind the scenes than I am when I show up online.

Learn to run your business around your lifestyle - Some people are meant to work through dusk to dawn and some people aren’t . When you create a brand the best thing you can do is create one aligned with the lifestyle you live otherwise you will find that your business takes over your life and in turn you become somewhat resentful of it. Instead identify how you can find a healthy balance between the two. For example I walk a lot to clear my head, now when I get amazing ideas while walking I will go live to share what is on my heart. I do not care if I am sweating bullets or look crazy. I in turn get to not only exercise, but also connect with my audience at the same time.

Be yourself and while doing that give other people permission to do the same. When I first started my business I wanted to be everything but myself- I wasn’t sure if who I was would make a big difference. But the more I tried to be and do whatever everyone else was doing the more exhausted snd defeated I became. When I learned to simply be me I was more intentional I was more aligned and most importantly I created more success. For example everyone and their mom will tell you that you have to niche down and stay there. I unapologetically avoid the term niche and have allowed myself to be multipassionate. Because of this I also call in dream clients who are also multi-passionate and I get to fully support them. This is why I love helping other coaches fully embrace and leverage their authenticity, because after all it's your greatest asset.

Your “money mindset” is simply your set of beliefs — usually subconscious — about money. It’s the way you approach earning, saving, spending, and sharing in your life. Your money mindset is a result of your experiences and relationship with money.

If I am being honest most people struggle when it comes to money mindset and creating one that serves them. In today’s video I am going to talk about 4 money mindset shifts you need to make to create a money mindset that aligns with the success you desire and deserve

Sales is a service – we have to do away with the concept that sales is something bad or sleazy. When you sell from the sale you’re actually serving your audience. Think about it wouldn’t you tell your best friend about an amazing restaurant you just tried snd beg her to try it too. That’s sales. When you know you have something amazing to offer it’s your obligation to share it. It serves no one for you to play small. Also sometimes we think that we should give things away because that’s a service but I have come to learn when people pay they pay attention and therefore you selling allows them to really commit to their shifts.

Money is an unlimited resource- they print money every single day we have to stop living with the belief that money is scarce. In fact in the US money is printed every single day for 24 hours a day and In 24 hours, the bureau can print ten million one dollar bills. This is confirmation that money is ALWAYS available.

Money is not bad the obsession with it is (you actually will repel money out of desperation). Money is energy. Therefore the energy we attached money is the energy in which we were receive it. If you have guilt or anger or bitterness around money you are going to as a result receive more experiences that caused you to feel guilty angry or bitter about your money. If you feel grateful in alignment with your money you as a result will attract more situations and experiences that reinforce that.

Abundance is your birthright – In John 10:10 at the Bible says I have come that that they can have life in life more abundantly. Abundance is our birthright ! Sometimes we guilt ourselves into believing that we have NOT want money when the truth is you’re actually living out of alignment by not going after the abundance you deserve!

At the end of the day you can never be poor enough to help someone but when you focus on creating your abundance your impact spreads.

Considering this what shifts do you need to make around money mindset?
