Follow These 8 Behaviours to Ensure Success as an Entrepreneur!
I have discovered, after much research in self-development and Life Coaching, 8 similar behaviours between the successful entrepreneurs and those making all the money. If these 8 action steps are followed daily and consecutively – there is no doubt in my mind that success will come your way!
REPLICATE YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL HERO- Either find a local entrepreneur that you look up to, or even an international highly successful one like Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey. Start to study them, not just their actions but their mindset as well. Read their Biographies, ask yourself – what do I believe their values and beliefs would be? What would their daily activities involve? If you can, organise with your local successful entrepreneur and ask them if you could have a coffee with them to learn from them. You will be surprised, most successful ones will be happy to share their success.
PICTURE – Olympic athletes visualise winning their race 100’s of times before actually doing it. What this does it creates a neural pathway in the mind of what it believes has happened, so when faced with the actual event, the mind can tell the rest of the body what it is supposed to do. Science has proven this increases chances of success, wealthy entrepreneurs do the same. Give it a try – visualise yourself as a successful entrepreneur – focus on what is happening around you, how you feel, what you say, how you hold yourself and what you hear. Do this daily, and it won’t be long until you find it a reality.
GOALS – Although these seem easy and not relevant – they actually are imperative to success. I mean you can’t get to a desired destination in a car, without first thinking of where you want to go. Success as an entrepreneur is the same, and the more specific you are with your goals, the higher chance you have of success. It is also a good idea to have short, medium and long term goals. When writing them down, don’t focus on HOW you are going to get there, that will come, just on where you want to go.
DAILY ACTIVITIES THAT PRODUCE PROFITS – Obvious, I know – but even I am guilty for being distracted by non-income producing activities! The best thing you can do is to sit down and write up the actual tasks that bring in money – whether it be marketing calls, placing an ad or even having a meeting with clients. Once you have your list of direct income making activities, do at least 1 -2 of them EVERYDAY.
EXPECTATION – Expect that you will be successful. This again helps the unconscious mind to replicate what it is hearing / seeing. If it has an expectation of being a success, then it will do everything it needs to to for fill this truth.
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE – Focusing on what you have, will only attract more to what you have. Focusing on what you don’t have, will attract more of the feeling of lack. Whenever you start feeling that you are focusing on being broke, or on not having enough – stop, and write down ten things you are grateful for. This will shift the energy that you are sending out and help you to re-focus. The more positive you are, you start to notice more positive things and attract more of what you want.
CONTINUAL GROWTH / PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT – This is very important – remember to never stop growing. All the successful entrepreneurs have open minds and are always learning. Watch Oprah – she is always learning something new on her show. And with those new Learnings she continues to grow her empire. “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” Charles “Tremendous” Jones
COMMITMENT – Sometimes you may feel like you are going up a stream without a paddle – I have felt that often. I have even felt that sometimes I am actually going backwards. What I have realised though – is to never give up. Stay focused on your goals and stay committed. If you are determined, no matter what obstacle comes your way, you will ALWAYS find a way to continue towards your goal!
A thorough understanding of the above 8 behaviours, and making them regular habits will only increase your chance of success ten-fold. Enjoy the experience and journey you take in achieving your goals. Don’t forget to reward your successes and learn from the setbacks, success is on the cards – good luck!
