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.

See the different marketing ideas I'm using to sell my books

-128

I've been looking at ways to expand the sales of my mystery shopping book. It's had some initial interest and I want to capitalise on that interest and turn it into book sales. There have also been a couple of positive reviews already. It's one of those things that every time you talk about it, other people are really interested in what you have to say. It's a topic that everyone has some interest in, either what you do or becoming a mystery shopper themselves. To assist with the book I've started a blog that mixes hints and tips from the book with my daily experiences as a mystery shopper. Each blog entry prompts the reader to take a look at the book. The blog can be found here.

I have also set up a basic promotional YouTube video to help with the book sales. The idea behind these two things is to get people to like the look of what is going on and then go on to buy and read the book. But the next questions I have are-


  • How are people going to find the blog or the YouTube video?
  • Who is my target market?
  • How will I reach them?

The people who I think will be mainly interested in mystery shopping are university students and the mothers of children that are at school. I live quite close to a university city so I thought that the below poster could get me a bit of traction. I'm going to put it up in a few places around the city that I know students frequent. I hope that more readers of the blog might mean more book sales. Finding the mothers might take a little bit more doing. I'm thinking that the forums mothers frequent such as mumsnet might be somewhere to look. I know from sites like Money Saving Expert  don't allow people to advertise their own products on their forums so mumsnet may be the same. Aside from these two areas, it's a case of searching and thinking more about potential readers and how I can reach them.

The poster looks like this-



Wish me luck!

Days of relative inactivity must stop

-22

After a great Fathers Day and the photographs I took (see previous blog) I've had a couple of days if relative inactivity. Now I've been working for 8 hours a day in my employed role for the last two days but it's stopped me from getting in with the task in hand - making money.

That said, it's mainly the administrative side of things I've let slip, with the mystery shops, paid surveys and selling tasks in the PC having been left behind. I did manage to procure about 200 books for the princely sum of £3 yesterday so there is progress being made on this front. eBay is where this purchase originated and I'm on the lookout for joblots of books locally at a good price. The next task here is to add them to my inventory on Amazon to have them seen by the public and hopefully to make sales. I think that the sale of only one of these books will pay back the outlay and the mileage, and there will be some in there for my children, for the local playgroup and charity as well. So everyone wins, to a degree.

So tonight after work (another 8 hour shift) tomorrow morning and tomorrow evening will be set aside for catch-up as suspect my email inbox will be showing over 200. And about half will be money making opportunities from survey companies or mystery shopping companies. Looking forward to it!
