5 Steps to Elevate
your Mindset
- Awareness – We can’t fix what we don’t know exists. However, once we are aware that limiting beliefs exist and that an upgraded life is available to us, there isn’t anything that can stop us.
- Belief – A great mentor once told me that each of us have a thread of success in our fabric of life, meaning that we have all had success somewhere in our lives. That success provides evidence to the fact that if I have exceled that area of my life, then I can excel in any endeavor of life. All I must do is apply the same core fundamentals of success in the new endeavor as I did in the past. Belief in oneself is the most important fundamental we must create in our mind to succeed.
- Clarity – What do I want? I am amazed at how many people have never clearly identified exactly what they want in life. As the great Yankee catcher Yogi Berra once said, “If you don’t know where you are going, you might end up somewhere else.” Napoleon Hill said in his epic book Think and Grow Rich, “You have to have a clear, concise, mental picture of exactly what you want.” The picture must be developed in the mind, then committed to paper, then put to action for execution.
- Principals – Developing a set of success principals to live by is vital to upgrading your life. Life, business, and success do not care how you “feel.” At the end of the game, the scoreboard tells the story. Winning in business and life requires determining exactly what is important to you, and the most effective ways to execute the goal. Develop the following mindset: “Every day I wake up, dress up, and show up.”
- Action – Once the Awareness, Belief, Clarity, and Success Principals have been established, you are ready to act. Action needs to be taken whether you are ready or not. The most important step of acting is to get started. Put one foot in front of the other, and keep stepping forward toward the goal, despite any fear or doubt that creeps into your thoughts. As momentum builds, so too will the amount of action. Get started now!
