Create the Mindset for Business Success!

Having the 'Mindset for Success' is vital for achieving your business vision and key business goals. Experience has reinforced my belief that a big part of a 'success mindset' is good thought processing.  I'd like to communicate an example of 'poor thought processing', the impacts of it and also share with you a simple and very effective model that I utilize with clients that will help you to create a 'mindset' that will empower you to generate more of the results that you want this year.

Just for a moment: Please read and open your mind to the following statement:

Your thoughts influence your emotions (feelings) your thoughts and emotions influence your actions and your actions effect your results.

And once again because its important:

• Your thoughts influence your feelings (emotions);
• Your thoughts and feelings influence Your actions;
• Your actions effect Your results!

* Think of how you got here? You & I are the 'result' of specific actions that where fueled by specific thoughts and feelings*

You might be saying SO WHAT? - so let's use a business example and lets pretend that:

Your a Business Owner and responsible for driving sales and your current thought processing is:

No one's buying, there's a recession, whats the point - they'll just say no anyway, everyone's struggling.........

How would you be feeling thinking that way?

I am assuming - unmotivated, flat, anxious etc...

So thinking and feeling that way - What revenue generation actions are you likely to take?

I am assuming - not making sales calls, not following up, not asking for the sale, in other words - complete in-action!

And if there is complete inaction......What will the results be?

I am assuming - you will not make your revenue targets for the week, month, year.  I am assuming a result will be stress caused by worry because no matter what you do you've still got fixed expenses to pay and another result may be you beating yourself up, labeling yourself as a failure and the result of that is even more lost self-esteem...

Where will this thought processing take you and your business?

The cause and effect relationship between your thoughts, emotions, actions and results is powerful do not underestimate it.

I hope that demonstrates to you the link between your thoughts, emotions, actions and results and the effect of poor thought processing, also GET that YOU are never the 'RESULTS' the results are just an 'effect' of your actions.

So now WHAT?

If your currently caught up in this...What do you do? How do you break the loop?

Right now...You grab a pen/paper and you work backwards by answering these questions:

• What results do I really want in my business?
• What will achieving these results really give me?
• What actions can I take to generate these results?
• In order to be taking those actions....How do I need to be feeling?
• In order to be feeling that way.....How would I need to be thinking about myself, my business and my customers?

Then consciously choose to think that way and make it your number 1 priority right now because when you change your thinking you will change your results!

P.S. Next blog: I'll be sharing simple affirmations that will empower your thought processing for more empowered actions and better results.
