THE POWER OF A MINDSET BLUEPRINT
Introduction
Some people say that the one thing successful entrepreneurs have in common, that everyone else is missing, is guts and courage. Others say that success is based on little more than timing and luck while others believe there is a 10,000h our rule.
Have you ever wondered why some people always seem to come out ahead? No matter what they touch, it turns to gold? Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have such an effortless journey with success and abundance greeting them at every turn?
Success isnât about working harder. Itâs about knowing which actions to take and when to take them. Itâs not the sheer amount or volume of action, itâs the right actions at the right time that makes the difference.
Unleashing Your Inner Entrepreneur
The process you will be learning in this part literally connects four parts of your brain, allowing them to work synergistically. By rewiring your brain, you shed old habits and patterns by thinking and acting differently. You begin to think and act like someone who already has the result you want to achieve. Youâll notice all sorts of signs pointing you in the direction you want to go, in order to begin developing the meta stories you will create later on.
Youâll be doing things you never had the courage to do before. Youâll also notice that your financial mindset begins to shift. What used to be considered a lot of money, all of a sudden seems like pocket change. Instead of feeling like certain things are âdifficultâ, new patterns will empower you to take action on your goals.
Resetting Your Financial Mindset
Your perspective will begin to change. You may suddenly realize that most entrepreneurs shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars (of their own or investor) to start a new venture.
If you think $20,000 is a lot of money, then for you it is; but for many it is not a lot of money. At one point I too thought $20,000 was a lot of money.
I also used to think $200k was a lot of money, and as long as I felt that way, I never earned more than $60-70k a year. Only once $200k seemed no different than what $20,000 had felt like a year before, did I actually begin to make significant progress.
Can I Do It?
The process itself isnât a secret. In fact, the basic premise of this process has been used for hundreds of years by millions of people. Iâm asked all the time, âWhatâs your secret to success in business?â The following is an exchange I had with a new referral Read Carefully and see if you can pick up my logic.
Q: How do you pick up new skills so quickly? Whoâs your mentor?
A: No one and everyone. I learn best through observation and then I visualize the outcome I want, and then take actions based on gut instinct. Growing up, a formal education was not an option for me. I became really good at learning by myself.
Q: Is it because you are really smart and intelligent?
A: I wish. I never finished at the top of my class, ever. I was an average student and struggled to have attention and focus and I still canât spell. My IQ is barely above average.
Q: Iâm not computer literate and barely know how to use Facebook. What do you suggest for people who say theyâre not tech savvy?
A: As an entrepreneur, you donât have the luxury of lacking necessary skills; you can learn anything you decide you must learn.
Q: Iâve tried several other businesses and opportunities and none of them worked for me. How is this different?
A: Two things: Entrepreneurs donât âtryâ things. They make decisions, adjust, adapt, and then they make it work.
Q: Can I outsource the parts of my business that I donât like?
A: Yes, but make sure the trade off against your time to do it yourself is worth more to you.
Q: Which one thing do you think is the most critical for a new digital entrepreneurâs success?
A: A mindset thatâs properly programmed with success logic. Once you learn how to think and act a certain way, you can do virtually anything you decide to do.
Q: How do I get that mindset?
A: Itâs easier to change the world than it is your mind. People would rather work 50 or 60 hours a week for decades than spend one hour a day programming their mind with success logic. You have to really want it.

Well Glen, that was a good post--one thing I got from it is that knowledge is power--Knowing what the right thing to do is and when to do it! However, when you have the mindset to succeed than nothing can stand in the way of that success!
