Michelle SerranoA Business-Ready Mindset
Updated: Apr 12
Have you ever thought of starting a business? And then when you're on it, it failed?
You may think that when you have the resources to start a business, you can aim for success but the answer is NO.
Starting a business isn't that easy. It's not just about money and other resources but it's about being prepared mentally and emotionally.
Our way of thinking is an important aspect of our future success.
When we create a business for money and just money alone, you may get disappointed along the way if your business slows down. The right business mindset should focus on giving solutions to someone's problem, how to make your customers happy, and finding new ways to connect with people.
If you are just starting a business, here are some examples of a bad business mindset and habits that you may not be aware of:
Easily makes a decision without proper planning
Believes that money is everything
Won't accept failure
Wants an overnight success
Doesn't want to try new ways to improve oneself and business
Focus on failure and not on learning
Gives up easily without trying
Doesn't want to ask for help
Too lazy to utilize free resources to expand knowledge
Dreaming without doing
We're done with the bad mindset. Let's go now to the mindset hacks. Below are examples of mindset hacks you can use to practice a positive and business-ready mindset:
Create a vision and mission for your business
Be passionate about your business
Do the hardest thing first
Believe in yourself, in your goals, and in your business
Acknowledge the little things and be prepared for the big ones
Give importance to both IQ and EQ
Always remember that it's not all about talent and skills, perseverance matters
Give yourself room to grow
Accept failure as a way of learning
Surround yourself with people who support you and your business
It's normal for us humans to have fears and insecurities. We overthink a lot sometimes and it's okay. Your emotions and feelings are valid. But in order for us to grow and reach our goals is to remove negativity as much as possible in our lives and in our businesses.
Practicing a positive mindset takes time and it's okay if you don't do all of the mindset hacks mentioned above. Recognize those fears, insecurities, and anything that isn't good for you and slowly remove them from your life. Take one step at a time. You'll get better!
