The Mindset Behind Your Success

We had an amazing guest speaker yesterday at our Coffee & Cards team meeting! For those of you who are outside Arizona or who haven't been able to join us, every Friday morning from 10am-11:30am our team meets to share ideas on how to build your Send Out Cards business.

Yesterday, I invited Kandi Haupt, owner of One Eleven Companies to be a guest speaker. Kandi has a strong life testimonial why she started her corporate training company...a stay at home Mom who was told on Christmas Eve that her husband was divorcing her (what she calls a "Holy Crap Moment")...she had to abandon a life's dream of being a professional singer to starting a career in corporate training. With $1.11 in her bank account, she has built her company on sheer talent, work ethic and delivering on helping her clients get their minds clear so they can get out of their own way.

One of the things I know going from a 20 year corporate career to being an entrepreneur where I am my own boss, is that it is one of the best things being able to create your own day, and at the same time, because no one is looking over my shoulder, I have had moments where the phone seems like it weighs 10,000 pounds and I get every other non-income producing thing done...like the laundry, the dishes, organizing my desk...does this sound familiar to you? I personally have a mentor, and I recommend finding a coach who can shorten your learning curve so you can get moving on your "earning curve" if you try to figure it all out yourself, unfortunately we don't know what we don't know and most people will get frustrated and drop out right before they have a breakthrough. Don't be one of these statistics!

Here are some of the notes I took, although her dynamic personality is something you must experience in person:

You have to have a "shark" in your tank...someone who will hold you accountable.

Put your goals in an envelope and sleep with them under your pillow - it will connect your subconscious mind to your goals.

What does it take to be extraordinary? You must have a "Throw Up Goal" something that makes you so nervous that it makes you want to throw up...if it doesn't then the goal isn't big enough. You have to have a physical reaction to be a worthy goal. You know you're in the right place if you say to yourself "There's no flippin way I can do this!"

It takes the same energy/stress to tackle a small goal versus a large goal.

Billionaires make decisions in 7 seconds. They do not spend time walking around it, thinking about it, analyzing it.

It's not my business what anyone thinks of me.

There is value in walking towards something I'm afraid of versus walking around it and making lists. The longer I wait the harder it gets. JFDI = Just F'n Do It!
Call my chicken list. Get into risk & fear.

It's not about the money - what is your big "why"

Create a space for what I need to show up (like booking tickets to your dream vacation) and then your mind will create a way to make it happen. Remember as kids...we weren't embarrassed to ask, didn't take no for an answer, ask ask ask...am I still showing up in my business like a child?

What are the counter thoughts that compete against what I want?

Scarcity mindset - I don't have enough time, money, people things is a program I am accepting as true. How to counteract that...take an extraordinary risk. Think like someone who is abundant.

Sometimes we don't value ourselves enough to have what I want. Someone who isn't congruent in their mindset and actions will break their word all the time. Successful and wealthy people keep their agreements.

Our mind sees in pictures, you must write down your goals. Move up the time frame on your goals to even faster than your original date to complete.

Here are some of the mindset programs that hold us back:
1. Scarcity
2. Fear of Failure
3. Fear of Success
4. Valuable
5. Not Worthy
6. I don't deserve it
7. Programmed to be right (what do you want to be right about that you won't let go of programs that aren't serving you. Are my goals/dreams in alignment?)
8. Need to be in control
9. The need to look good (I have it all figured out)
10. I'm soooo busy.

What are the top 2 things above that are stopping me from getting what I want?

Fear is a motivator - use it! Run towards your fear and tackle it head on to bust it up so you can get unstuck.
