KEY TAKEAWAYS
The most critical thing in business is having the right psychology and mindset along with business concepts such as systems, process and sales. Having all the tools in the toolkit will lead you to success and the life you want to have and where you want to be with your career. Fear – false evidence appearing real, fear is something from your psychology. The fear emotion helps us to gauge and react to possible danger, but the same emotion drives people to not take chances in business or take more control in their lives. It is critical to realise everything is in your mind and what you are feeling is a self-limiting belief. It’s what you do to manage this emotion and ultimately this is a decision requiring implementation of processes and tools to change things. Achievement and fulfilment are based on focusing on growth and contribution. How can you learn more? do more? be more? Contributing more will create a greater sense of purpose. Gratitude in its simplest form is the way you begin to overcome fear and self-limiting beliefs. Fear and gratitude can’t exist in the same frame of reference in your mind. Fear focuses on all the things that could go wrong whereas gratitude focuses on all the things that have gone right, it is the opposite paradigm to fear. Fear places us in a place of insecurity and uncertainty and we become stressed wondering about not if but when something will go wrong When you shift towards gratitude-based thinking it places you in a stable position of thankfulness where you are able to recognise the positives in your life. Having a positive view about how you view life opens your mind to other positive things. Fear is inevitable it is simply part of the process of going through life, building a business and taking risks. Better to take a risk and fail than not take a risk at all. You never ultimately fail if you do something, learn from it, adapt and go again.
