What Your Business Really Needs - Your Positive Mindset

How to keep your mindset and your business on track
1. Know your WHY. Why are you starting a home business?
2. Avoid people who will run you down.
3. Stay in contact with leaders in your business, those who are
successful now.
4. Stay focused on key things you have identified that really make
your business work. Don't waste time on other activities.
5. Read or listen to the masters. Find someone who inspires
you, who you can follow.


You must know why you are doing your business. Keep it in front
of you all the time, your list, a picture or two. Keep the goal firmly
in your mind.

A good example of this is a story I heard that I have always
remembered of a young sales person who had found a really nice
home which he REALLY wanted. This was in the early 70's he was
working on commission making a good living then but he needed
$10,000 (a large sum then) by the end of the month to close on
this house. Did he think how hard it would be get that money?
No he went and got some pictures of his family and himself in and
around that house. Then he set to work and by closing on that home
he had the money he needed.

Most of us don't have this kind of example in our own lives but
we can learn from his focus, he carried those photos around with
him looking at them often as he pushed himself to do the extra
work that was necessary to meet his goal.

Keep your WHY close to you visually, go over it in your mind after
your prayers in the morning right through the day. Try it you will see
a big improvement in your focus.


Avoid people who run down your dream. Sounds obvious, duh?
Sounds that way but we all know of times when we have been
deflected from our work by such people. Avoid these people who
do nothing but denigrate your dream of starting a home business.


Now that the negative bit is over lets concentrate on the positives.
Get in touch and stay in personal touch with the leaders in your
business. Watch them, listen to them, read what they write. I'm
thinking it is sort of like trying to absorb a little of them. Putting
their qualities together with the drive from your why: (why you
started your home business) and your other good qualities, which
we all have, can potentially make you even a better leader and
have even more success than the leaders in your business now.

Tall order isn't it? But really think about it. Absorb all you can from
your leaders their good qualities can become your qualities but
not if you don't try: watch, listen absorb.


Your new home business will have many activities. You need to
focus on those activities that will move your business forward
and will move you toward your goal (remember your why)? Don't
spend time organizing your files, putting your stamps in piles, I
don't know there must be many useless things to do. Get busy
and identify specific activities the sales and or service that will
make your business grow.

Finally listen to the masters. Those who have already been a
huge success in your industry or in other areas of life. Find
those who you want to emulate and read and study their lives.
I'm going to share some of those people who I am following in
later posts. Maybe you would like to mention one of your favorites?

Tie these ideas together in your life everyday and your mindset
can't help but be lifted. Let me know how it works for you?
