[00:10:00] Knowing Your Business Direction

The very first step to knowing your business direction and knowing who you are is just to do what you love.

Because if you do what you love the money will soon follow, and you’ll be happy in the direction that you’re going.

Find that one thing that you are passionate about, get very clear about it, cut out the noise, and just go after it.

As we all know it takes money to make money, so you should be happy in what you’re doing so you don’t get burned out in the beginning while you build up your business.

Never let someone else’s opinion shape your reality.

It’s all about finding your calling, your purpose, and then finding out how to monetize what is around you.

[00:13:24] Changing Your Mindset to Find the Money

When you change your mindset you will see that money is all around you and as entrepreneurs, we get to write our own paycheck.

So, it’s really just about where is it?

If you talk to the right people and show them what you’re committed to they will show you what you have.

The best thing you can do is plan out every aspect of your life such as your vision, your plan of action, your goals.

As well as your character, spiritual life, and social circle ECT. You essentially create a GPS for your life which will keep you on track so you don’t get lost.

Then you find your tribe such as this podcast and stay close to others who have their life structured as well as you do.

It is very important to be around people who strengthen you, understand you, and are going in the same direction you are.

Structure your own reality because if you listen to others you’ll never get off of the treadmill.

Then once you build your own life blueprint you have to put everything into action.

Without action, nothing will ever happen.

A great book to read is by Charles Giddens and he talks about how you have to put 10 units of energy in to get 1 unit of results out.

But, once you get what you been working so hard to build, it will flip and now be 1 unit of energy to get 10 units of results.

This is another version of the 80-20 rule. There isn’t any magical fairy dust and you will have to work.
