Winning Mindset, #1 of 10

#1. Winning Mindset

Setting and achieving worthwhile goals! This is where success happens! It’s easy to get stuck at the beginning of the process with assessing our current situation and setting great goals without following them through to completion. Setting goals without achieving them equals failure to achieve your own worthwhile, pre-determined goals.
Some Keys to Effective Goal Setting
#1 Have a Vision – Create a VISION that is worthwhile, BIGGER than MONEY, and potentially achievable. Write this down, by hand, into YOUR Dream Book or your Goal Book. Communicate this vision to your Team.
#2 Know your Passions – Pursue what JUICES you, pumps you up, invigorates you and rewards you for the doing.
#3 Be Frankly Honest – Setting goals means being honest with yourself and others. Listen to Chapter 15A of Think and Grow RICH! As Billy Shakespeare wrote, “To thine own self be true.”
#4 Set Goals that are Yours to Achieve – Your goals must be literally “Your Goals.” Overcome FEAR with Chap 15B
#5 Live Your Life in Action – Set goals then Act On Them. Stay in Motion.

Entrepreneur Mindset also includes the willingness to take rational, calculated risks; the ability to DECIDE, often without all the data available; a drive to succeed; a willingness to INNOVATE, do it DIFFERENTLY, to stand out from the crowd; and an ability to hear criticism, fair and unfair, and weigh it without a knee-jerk acceptance or rejection of it.
