Use a proven researched method for getting your mindset in the right place for business

In my ‘245 days...’ blog I like to find ways to help the budding startup entrepreneur. I believe that business, like life, is about a continual pathway of improvement. There are so many ways to improve on what you do. Improving your skills in important, but improving your mindset is equally important - and often overlooked.

How much of your success is in your mind? A positive outlook on what you do can actually makes a real difference, but how can you affect this? How can you change your mindset? Is this something they you can get better at?



To be as good as you can at business, it takes many different talents. Your knowledge and skill set needs to be as broad as possible for the industry you are working in. But in addition to this, you need mental capabilities-
  •        Confidence
  •        Optimism
  •         Determination
  •         Focus
  •         Dealing with Setbacks

But what if you need help in these areas? How can you improve here to make improvements in the your business?

Help can be found with http://www.changeyourmind.com/



It works by using a proven researched method of listening to success messages while you are asleep. The busy startup owner doesn’t have hours during the normal working day to commit to extra learning, and your time away from work is precious. So the fact that this can be added to your routine while you sleep is a real time saver. Time is money, as they say.


To get your startup on the right tracks, Dr Teri Mahaney, Ph.D suggests that you take up a start a Change Your Mind program. This means that you get your mindset in the right place from the outset, and you go down the road of self-belief in making the money that your startup business craves. Every startup has this need for income in the early months because that is when you are finding your feet. Unfortunately this is also when the majority of small businesses fail. To become one of the small businesses that succeed, you need as much of a leg-up as you can get in as many areas of business as you can find. To be able to add the success mindset while you are sleeping will be a massive shot in the arm  to your business.

Some of the testimonials on the website show you how much difference these CD’s have made in the lives of those that have tried them.

“The CDs are more than amazing. They are truly breathtakingly life changing and it has given me so much hope.” - Josephine 

I wanted to personally thank you for the difference that SuperSleep® has made in my life. In particular, the Money series blew wide open the "glass ceiling" that I had hit financially.
In the first 2 months of listening to the series, I doubled my income. I am on track to easily make a six figure income for the fist time in my life. I would highly recommend this series to everyone.
The SuperSleep® program is a MUST for anyone who wants to open to possibility and climb over whatever wall they have been facing.

If you can commit to changing your mindset for the better then it will make a massive difference to the business owner that you are. Being positive, being confident in your abilities and being of the mindset that wants to make money are traits of the best entrepreneurs. To be able to refine and hone these behaviours will make a big difference to your startup company.

That's it, I'm taking control!

84

I've let events wash over me the last week or so. I've had so much going in that I've been stuck in a situation where I've not been able to focus in one thing and often ended up not doing anything much of significance. Don't get me wrong, I've been blogging, taking photos, mystery shopping and I've nearly got everything I wanted done around the house, but none of it feels like I've made massive progress or set the world alight-

My photography is moving along really well and I'm happier every week with the quality and consistency of the work I'm producing. My tutor is very pleased with my progress and I'm now 100% set on moving on to year 2 and level 2. My work is getting great feedback in class and on social media. I'm really in a very happy place with all this. In terms of the course, it's time to round up my folder tonight and then next week we are setting up our exhibition and then it's all finished until late September when level 2 begins.

I've been blogging apace and one of my blogs has just reached it's 100th edition-

http://eaboost.blogspot.com/2015/03/100-blog-entries-and-i-look-back-at-my.html

I've decided to commemorate this milestone by producing a week of blogs looking back at the highlights of the first 100. It's an interesting way to look back at all the words I've written and pulling together the themes that I've looked at in terms of estate agency.

Mystery shopping has been going steadily but not spectacularly. We're coming to the end if the quarter and traditionally this and Easter mean that things slow down dramatically. Having said this, I've managed to conduct 6 mystery shops over the last week and I've got 2 in the pipeline. With only one day off this week, I probably won't do much more than that but I'll be looking for  a single day next week where I can conduct 10 to 15 mystery ships and bring in a few hundred pounds.

Work around the house is continuing, but again without feeling that it's flying ahead. The main bedroom is curtain lining away from complete and I'll finish the bathroom on Wednesday. After that there's just outdoor things to complete as spring starts and the weather turns warmer.

Wednesday is also the day when I start my warm weather exercise regime - in starting running again. I'm losing weight slowly but I don't feel that I've for a very good fitness level at the moment. Since finishing the Great North Run half marathon in September last year, I've inly ran once. I generally stop over the winter and I've missed my place in the ballot for the 2015 run but it's time to get fit again.

Downtime helps the mind focus

204

I've been wrestling with the amount of time I spend on setting up my estate agency business. It feels that alongside a full time job, two other small business interests and a family, the work put into setting up my estate agency means that I gave little or no downtime. I'm not talking about hour after your watching TV or playing video games, but some time spent doing not a great deal, and this helps me to reflect on where I am, decide on next best steps and do things like this - writing my blogs. I'm actually typing this whilst on the bus on the way to work (park and ride has changed the face of many cities) and therein lies the problem - every spare minute is filled with activity. Now this blog can be quite therapeutic, and I'm able to use it as a sounding board for me, as much as it provides an insight for you - the reader.

Ill blog again into lunch break, and probably again on the bus on the way home, and possibly again tonight whilst I'm back on the PC.

However, there needs to be more time spent on playing with the kids, family days out, quality time with my wife, etc to ensure I keep a focus on why I'm doing all this.

Don't think that this is a moan about how things are going, it's just me putting down some thoughts and fears about how it's going.

Presently I've got about 100 emails needing some action - the vast majority are surveys, which bring in Christmas spending money. I carry out loads of mystery shops, as I looked at in yesterday's blog. Yesterday afternoon I had 3 jobs to sort out in the bathroom and there's a couple more to sort out in the house.

In all, I need to carry out the following-

*get all the jobs in the house done and straightened our before the business starts

*decide on whether I will continue with surveys and mystery shops when I start the business

*set aside times for certain tasks, such as surveys, emails, time with the kids - in other words, plan my time (I'll get a diary today)

*decide when the best time to stop my full-time job and start full-time in the business is

Looking forward, not backwards.
