One of the biggest reasons people do not succeed in achieving their goals is not because they do not know how to do it, or timing is not right, or, they don’t have the ‘right’ skills. All those reasons can be worked on. The only and number reason is OUR OWN MINDSET. Having a strong mindset is critically important for success in business. Let’s take top performing athletes. They spend their whole entire career focusing on maintaining a strong mindset because they know it raises their level of performance overall.
Take the same attitude towards our personal life, and you will achieve your goals.
In network marketing, if you create and develop a strong mindset, you will increase your performance, productivity, and develop a bigger group.
Mindset is the key factor that separates a success marketer, to one who simply stays average, thus failing. Take two athletes who have the same skills, same built, and have the same endurance. Who would win? The one with the stronger mindset. It’s mental toughness that makes all the difference.
You’re probably thinking, well how is someone who is outgunned and outmanned going to win? Well, it all boils down to a superior state of mind.
Having a strong mindset is a simple process so let’s not make it complicated. Remember K.I.S.S., not the band, but the acronym. Keep It Super Simple! So let’s stick to the basics.
Here are seven steps that I have used to achieve a strong mindset, and that you can also use to achieve a greater level of mental toughness in your business.
1. Physical Conditioning. If you regularly play the game by staying in the field and doing it, you begin to develop a level of natural toughness. By working your business consistently everyday, you will begin to develop mental strength. Think how a callus is created. The more you abuse an area, the tougher and thick skinned it becomes. Well, the same thing works on the mental side. If you keep your head in the game and the same abuse comes your way (no shows, cancelled orders, shrinking downline, etc) you naturally develop a thicker skin.
2. Listen and Read Everyday. Learn form others that have already experienced it. Wouldn’t you want to know why or how someone has overcome obstacles or odds and constantly wins under pressure? I know I did, and you should too. Read or listen to someone that inspires you towards greatness. Spend at least 30-60 minutes everyday. If you don’t do this, you’re cheating yourself to your full potential. Not having enough time or being too busy is NOT an excuse. Focus on working hard on YOU.
3. Be Positive. It is true, what you speak and think about, you become. If you spend time thinking about how you are going to only fail, or how bad you are doing, or unsuccessful you are, you will continue to stay there. On the other hand, if you spend time using positive affirmations like, “I am successful and attract powerful people to my business”, you will become those very things you think and talk about. Write down positive and powerful affirmations that are in present tense and hit you emotionally. Read them everyday, and if you think this if crazy, network marketing is NOT for you. This works, it trains your unconscious mind to make these things a reality.
4. Associative Conditioning. Ever get mad and fed up about where you are? Well get angrier, and do something about it! That’s what associative conditioning is. If you associate enough pain with where you are right now, and so much joy from your life as you want to design it, you will take the necessary actions to change it. This is powerful stuff. Take a moment and think about where you are today. Are you the best you can be? Do you want more? Create a strong association between where you are and the pain you get from it. This will motivate you quickly to work towards what you want and away from the pain.
5. Visualization. Have you ever imagined what your future looks like? Where you would live? What you would be driving? Where would you travel? Take a moment and visualize a movie. Got it? Repeat it daily. Now cut some pictures, words and paste it on a dream board. Create a physical collage of your visualization. Top people use this strategy to get them where they want to go. By having a strong imagery in your mind, it is difficult to be mentally weak.
6. Reinvent Yourself. Whether be acting or real, reinventing yourself does work. If you think you are timid, shy unsuccessful, reinvent yourself. Begin today with a new set of eyes. Be what you want to be. Not what you are. Actors do this all the time. Reinventing themselves is part of their careers. Act the part that you want to play. Start today!
7. Concentration. Ok this is the final step. Focus. Whatever task at hand, you must remain totally focused. Athletes are a prime example. Tennis players, football players, basketball players, golfers, etc.
A golfer can’t let their mind wander off for even one shot. You have to focus on success and winning. There is no other option. You have to beat your opponent. And in the case of mindset and business, your biggest opponent is YOU!

Apply these 7 principles in your life and business to build a strong mindset, and you will find yourself having greater success in everything that you do.

1. Physical Conditioning

If I were asked what the ‘one’ biggest obstacle is that people face, both personally and professionally, it would NO doubt be Resistance.

Have you ever brought a treadmill and let it gather dust in the attic? Have you ever bought a book or a course to find it still sitting on your shelf unopened a year later? Are you a writer who doesn’t write an artist who doesn’t paint, an entrepreneur who never starts or follows through on ideas?

Then you know what Resistance is.

If you were to effectively deal with Resistance, you would accomplish anything you want. Unfortunately, most will never see it. They’re blind sided by it. They miss it all together.

This if critical for those who are serious about achieving greatness, so pay close attention.

I want to give you a quick look at what we call Resistance before I show you a couple of ways to rid yourself of this nasty habit. And yes, it IS a habit. You’ll see in a moment that this has more to do with YOU than anything else.

There are only two types of Resistance:

1. External Resistance – not having enough resources; money; ‘other people’ discouraging your efforts.
2. Internal Resistance – doubt; fear; denial; complacency; easily offended; ignorant; drama.

Notice which list is longer.

We recognize and ‘see’ the external. It’s the ‘internal’ stuff we often don’t see. These are the conversations going on in our head. These are the stories we often tell ourselves about why we ‘can’t’ do something. Stories like: your lack of education, bad luck, unfair competition, your unsupportive spouse or partner, your low metabolism, the place you live, etc, etc…

You do realize this is YOUR story, yes? You are emotionally attached to it, often times unconsciously committed to it, and using it daily as either excuse, as permission, as security or as a shield. You’ve most likely bought into it hook, line and sinker and have come to believe it is reality.

It’s common, but MUST be dealt with if you want to break down the barriers that are most likely holding you back from getting what you want…

To move past Resistance at some point, you must let go of YOUR story. We all have one (or many)…

Here’s two ways I’ve found to be ultra effective:

1. Before you will be able to overcome your resistance in life (be it financial, personal, professional, or whatever) you will need to stop everything right now and take a moment in writing your big obstacle, road block or fear is. Did you write it down?

   Why the inner battle between what you say and what you do? What are you telling yourself? What’s your story? When you recognize this, you’ve created awareness. Once you become aware of this mismatch you can then, and only then, get to the root of the problem and overcome resistance…but only til then.

2. Now that you are aware of what’s going on, you can start analyzing your thoughts. So what is it you’re telling yourself about why you can’t write that book, or lose those ten pounds, or start that new business? What’s your story? Write it down.

   You probably don’t even noticed what you were saying to yourself. Most are sleep walking through life. They never stop to identify the breakdown between what you say and what you do. They don’t even hear the mind chatter. They have no awareness. YOU do now, just by going through this simple exercise. Don’t take it lightly.

It’s your internal resistance holding you back from all you know you want to be and do in life. What you’re selling yourself is the source of it. Why are you buying into it?

When you can overcome Resistance, you go from Amateur to Pro. You get to decide…

Take action.
