Week 11: Never stop learning- Read books, blogs, journals, research, articles, newsletters, and everything you can get your hands on. You want to be a thought leader in your niche. That means paying close attention to the latest news and information. Don’t assume you know everything there is to know. I don’t care if you’ve been in business for 60 years; there is always room to learn more. There’s no quicker death to success than being stubborn and refusing to expand your knowledge.
You have to exude confidence in everything you do. You have to believe that you’re the very best at what you do. This will become easier the more successful you become. You can’t hesitate and put yourself down because someone’s been doing it longer and earns more than you. There’s something special and different about you, no matter which line of business you’re in.
You don’t have to be a lone wolf. You can earn so much more and become so much more visible if you connect with others. You’ll gain the benefit of their experience and their reach in the market. You can accomplish so much more when you partner up on certain tasks. Don’t look at everyone as the competition, because you’ll be selling yourself short.
You should also be investing in your business. Can you hire someone to help you accomplish more? Is there a particular task that’s holding you back? Hire people to free up time for yourself and to get more done. The most successful people understand what it means to invest to succeed even more.
Week 14: Banish the victim mindset-
There will always be things out of your control. You might feel sick or have bad things happen in your home life, but you have to keep going. Yes, keep yourself happy and healthy, but don’t let anything stand in your way.
You’re not a victim, and it’s time to let go of the excuses. Treat yourself well, but also stay determined to keep on going no matter what happens.
Week 15: Create your own action steps-
You should have action steps for everything you do. It’s so important to create systems in your business. If you have a large, daunting project, break it down into simple steps so you can easily get it done. Don’t let anything intimidate you in business because it’s always possible to power through it if you break things down into small steps. Nothing is too big or too scary for you to handle. This mindset will instantly boost your productivity.
Week 16: Commit yourself to success no matter what it takes-
There are going to be ups and downs in your business. Some days you will wake up feeling pumped and ready to handle the world. Nothing will get you down— you’ll feel unstoppable.
There will be other days where you feel like it’s impossible. That’s when you have to break everything down into tiny steps. Can you work for 5 minutes? Can you work for 10 minutes? Promise yourself that much— you’ll soon find yourself going for much longer than that.
Keep going with the day to day, no matter what. Take baby steps toward larger successes and you’ll reach them before you know it. You have to make every day count.
Week 17: Don’t just dream about it; make it happen-
Many marketers are dreamers. They dream about what will happen if they ever become successful. That’s not you anymore. Instead of dreams, you’re going to have a vision. You’re going to feel and live the success in your vision so it becomes inevitable that you succeed.
You won’t achieve the level of success you want to achieve if you don’t think big. Are you just hoping to earn $2000 in your business every month? Dream bigger— you want to earn $10,000 per month in your business.
Do you want to create a product that sells at least 10 copies? Dream bigger— you want to create a product that sells 100 copies, then one that sells 1,000 copies.
Keep your dreams big and create realistic daily steps that will inevitably get you there. I promise that method will turn you into a success.
Week 19: Focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want-
Do you spend most of your time in fear or most of your time in excitement? Are you scared that you won’t make the mortgage payment each month? Do you worry that your new product won’t sell any copies? That’s the wrong attitude.
Focus on the feeling of peace you get when you envision yourself paying the mortgage with plenty left over. Focus on the feeling you get when you release a product, knowing that it’s going to change your lives and other people’s lives for the better.
Don’t stop here— make your own list. What are some takeaways you got from this list of ways you can become more successful? What do you notice about the people who’ve achieved the level of success you want to achieve? Focus on something new every week so you can adopt new habits of success. This will change your mindset and help you accomplish amazing things in your business.
