MAUI TRAINING 4 – Mindset is everything

You hear it again and again from leading internet marketers – mindset is everything.

But what does this really mean?

At a recent 4-day internet marketing training workshop I attended in Maui, Hawaii, the focus was largely on the nuts and bolts of running an online business.

Plus there was a chance to go out snorkeling at the end of it all, see the photo.

But as internet marketer Misha Wilson stressed, having the right mindset it crucially important if you are sitting home, alone, beavering away on building a business online.

Failing to embrace the right mindset is one of the main reasons why the vast majority of online business wannabes fail. So out of the 90 plus percent of people who fail, this is the potential game-changer.

Having the right mindset is not just about “feeling positive” and repeating some woo-woo affirmations. Having the right mindset involves mentally putting yourself in a state of believing you are on track, that you have what it takes, and tuning out any negative comment.

This negative comment could be from friends and family. But it could also be the little voice in your head, your subconscious, telling you it’s not possible or repeating negative messages that you have taken in from way back when you were a kid.

Coach Gemma James helps people grab control of their lives and steers them on the path to success – whether it in with an online business, a career, or in family life.

In a training session she recently gave online, she stressed the importance of minding your words. This was not a call to avoid swearing online. Instead, she told viewers about the importance of the things you tell yourself, very often subconsciously, things that hold you back or prevent you from achieving your dreams.

We all have these negative messages rattling around in our brains, typically a negative message that says you are not good enough at something, that you lack something, that you will be negatively judged over something.

So the aim of anybody taking to the internet to build a business online needs to be to put yourself in the right frame of mind, to say you are actually in the process of achieving success, and that you are a cool dude or gal. (Okay, this doesn’t have to get silly, but the point is the more you pump yourself up on a regular, daily basis, the more chance you will have the frame of mind for success.)

This pumping up of your mindset needs daily action. Read something positive. Watch an inspiring video. Repeat positive affirmations. Dream about what is coming your way. The more you visualize what you desire, the more of a chance there is you will have success.

There is a lot more to mindset than can be quickly laid out here. But I think you get the point. Having the right mindset – coupled with action – can lead you to success.
