Mindsets Needed to Achieve Your Goals
The truth is, there is no “secret” to building a successful home business. What it takes is:
Belief
Depending
on your level of confidence, it might be better to suggest you have
faith over belief. For many home based entrepreneurs who struggle or
fail, the thing that gets in their way of success is themselves.
Because they don’t believe they can achieve success, they don’t
do the tasks that need to be done or if they do, they don’t do
them with the right attitude and amount of oomph.
Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” The truth is, when you don’t believe, you don’t have the muscle to work and overcome. Instead, challenges and set-backs are used as proof that you can’t do it. On the other hand, people who have belief keep striving regardless of the obstacles and eventually reach success. Belief is fuel that will help you stay the course.

Have
a Vision
Vision
serves two-fold. First, it gives you a mark to strive for. It’s
difficult to reach a goal if you don’t know what it is.
Squash
Fear
Fear
may be the biggest dream killer of them all.
Take
Action
Success
doesn’t happen without action. Winning the lottery might make you
rich, but it doesn’t make you a success. And when you consider
that most lottery winners blow their money and end up poor again,
easy riches don’t build the skills and character needed to retain
it. Action not only moves you toward your goal, but through it you
learn what works and what doesn’t, you develop tenacity and
persistence, and you build character.
Surround
Yourself with Quality People
Just
because you’re building a home business, doesn’t mean you have
to do it alone. Starting and growing a business is hard work, and
sometimes an encouraging word goes a long way to keeping you
motivated. Coaches and mentors can be very helpful in giving you the
skills and support you need. Mastermind groups can also provide
emotional support, as well as feedback and tips to help you build
your business.
Focus
Having
a vision for your business is a great way to develop focus. The
trick is to not get distracted by shiny object syndrome. Shiny
objects appear to be helpful initially. They’re the brand new
marketing system or get-rich-fast program. Ultimately, they take
away your focus, and waste time and money. When you develop your
vision, you also create a path to achieving it. Stay focused on your
plan and don’t let yourself get sidetracked by shiny objects.
Get
Back Up
More
than anything, success in home business, or any goal, is the ability
to keep striving for success in the face of set-backs and failure.
It doesn’t matter what business you decide to start, you’ll
experience problems and challenges. Many people bump into an
obstacle or don’t achieve the results they want fast enough and
view these challenges as stop signs. But successful people view them
as problems that need to be learned from and overcome. Study any
successful person you admire and you’ll discover he or she endured
obstacles and failures. Instead of giving up, they got back up,
dusted themselves off, and got working again.
