How Important Is Your Mindset?


This is an answer you have to tell yourself on a daily basis. Whether it is in your home based business, your brick and mortar business or even for your financial future, for you and your family. If you don’t step up now and start to plan for your future. When will you? Where will you be in five years from now? Do you have a plan of action, to make your future brighter for you and your family? If you don’t you will be in the same situation five years from now, that you are in today. Do you think your 401k will be enough for your retirement? Do you think social insecurity will be there for you? Right now the baby boomers are retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day. If all of them got a SS check for $1000 per month, SS will be at 75 billion per month. Still think we will get SS when we retire?

It all comes down to your mindset and it is time to start now, not five years from now. My last blog was about procrastination and that is where it all starts. Stop procrastinating and change your mindset now. I attended a business presentation last week. The gentleman who gave the presentation was nineteen years old. Nineteen! He is still young and has the proper mindset because he hasn’t been exposed to all the negativity that most of us have had to deal with over the years. Does that mean it is too late for the rest of us? I think not. If you change your mindset right now you will still have a shot at your own personal greatness. It is up to you…

The first thing you need to do is to start writing down the things you want to achieve over the next 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. It is called “Goal Setting” which I will get into detail in a later blog. It doesn’t take much to start thinking about where you want to be in that amount of time. There are vehicles that will get you there you just need to start looking for them. Get out of your comfort zone and start making your future look bright. After all isn’t that what you truly want. We can all dream about our futures but without a vehicle to get there, all they are, are dreams…

Start paying attention to the greats, such as Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Warren Buffet, Steve Down and the like. These are financial experts who are now giving us information to brighten our financial futures. Ask yourself this question? How much television do you watch every day? Are you willing to get out of your comfort zone and use that time to work toward your future? If you do not get out of you comfort zone now, when will you? In five years or maybe never? Do you think that 70 year old working at McDonalds wants to? Chances are they have to, not because they want to. This country is headed for two classes very quickly, the rich and the poor. Our middle class that has thrived so much over the years is now disappearing. So now is the time to take action in your life and get out of that comfort zone…

The biggest danger to the youth of today is the "instant gratification" mindset that's been instilled in them for a couple of generations.

Yes, it is a mindset. And yes, it can be changed - but not without effort. The laws of inertia apply both to things in motion, and to things at rest.

But with every deliberative action, inertia is replaced by momentum. That is our task, and it's one that is being well met!

Keep the good stuff coming!
