Mindset change is

definitely in order if you constantly think you will fail with your business idea or you think you can't have, be or do something or, you are faced with other people, however well-meaning, who point this sort of thing out to you and you believe them.

Your mindset is the single most important thing in the world to get right and keep right if you want to move forward with your business idea...

And here is my own quote about it...

"You have to treasure your mindset and nurture it like a child"

The simple truth is if you think you can’t about something then you won’t.

Lack of confidence in your ability is an absolute killer and other people can be complicit in the murder of many a fledgling business idea without even realising it.

It is SO easy to be derailed by a single random or throwaway thought, word or action in the blink of an eye.

So, if you are serious about beginning your perfect business and then actually doing something about it, then you need to get a handle on this dream destroyer straight away.

If you feel you are long overdue for a mindset change then...

Let’s start with a definition of mindset

Just so you can start with an understanding of what you are dealing with.

And I quote from one of the great dictionaries of the world - mindset is

A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretation of situations

or

An inclination or habit

Once you understand you have this fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines how you approach life then you can work towards change.

But what do you need to change you might ask?

Well, you need to move away from what is known as a fixed mindset where you find yourself saying

“Well I can’t do this” or “I am too old/young/fat/thin/time poor/money poor”

or other negatives such as

“Well I blame my parents/partner/children/boss/friends” for whatever it is you think you can’t be, do or have.

You then need to move into two very important and alternative mindset change patterns.

They are a business one and a growth one.

If you can’t move away from your fixed mindset and develop these two then, in all honesty it is game over before you even take the first step.

It’s a bit like a battery in a torch;

You can’t make the light shine on the negative settings.

You have to have the positive side facing the right way to make the connection.

You can press the on button for as long and as often as you like but nothing will ever happen and you will never see the light come on...
