Fear of the unknown? The occult perhaps?

Or just plain and simple “That is not for me, it’s for hot shot successful people”.

Well, the latter is not that far from the truth, but you have to wonder how the successful became successful. Mindset would be one factor that is for sure.

Its Not A Load Of Mumbo Jumbo

In fact mindset is the basis for everything regarding success, achievement and taking action – whether its in our every day lives or in business. If you have the correct mindset, the rest follows in a logical and effective sequence.

So as I have already explain, mindset is very much the basis, the fundamental core for attaining success, whether this is in our every day lives or our career or our business. If you can adopt the correct mindset, everything follows in a logical sequence, a success circle that continues to rotate and rotate, gathering more and more momentum.

Let’s look at why that is…

If you have the right mindset and believe that you can be successful at something, however you define success, as this is of course depends on what you are doing, then you will be motivated and want to take more action
The more action that you take, the more success you will have, and having that sense of achievement will encourage you to want to take even more action.

So are you with me so far on this one?

Reinforce Your Beliefs By Taking Small Steps

So you’ll now understand that the more action you take that yields great results will lead to you maintaining your motivation and focus. This leads to your belief becoming more and more convinced that you can achieve your goals.

I have no doubt in my mind that the more you believe, the better and more effective your mindset becomes. This leads to you taking more action, which leads to you achieving better results. It is in effect as I mentioned earlier, a cycle.

Let me give you an example…

Imagine that you’re trying to run a marathon. You believe that you could do it, but you realise that running 26 miles is quiet an achievement. But with that belief instilled in your brain, you begin your training.

One Small Step For Man …

Weeks pass, and because you think you can do this, your training progresses. You began by simply running 2 miles at a time, but now you’re running 10 miles at a time.

Your belief and enabled you to take action, and by taking action you’ve achieved good results, as you’re now running 5 times the distance that you were a few short weeks ago.

And this in turn gives you more belief and motivation, and in the ensuing weeks you’re able to run 12, 15 and 20 miles at a time – so your mindset is cementing your belief and this is making take more action.

When you take more action, you get better results.

So as you can see, it does indeed start with mindset, and the same applies to most things that we’d like to achieve, from business goals to personal goals.
