Hi there fellow entrepreneurial warriors. Yes, we are warriors and this is war. Being an entrepreneur is not for the timid masses. Sound like a cliche? Super. Get over it, and let’s continue. As promised, I wanted to follow up my last post with a series of “Wealthy Jedi Mind Tricks” as I like to call them. This will be a series of calculated actions and processes I’ve used in my own life, to push myself further and achieve more every day.
The first of my 10 ‘Wealth Jedi Mind Tricks’ is to do what you fear the most. Many times I’ve found that what we fear most is taking action. Making that phone call, getting that website up, writing that article, starting that business, placing those ads, putting yourself out there. “What if people think I’m dumb?” “What if they think my ideas are stupid?” First off, the only people that will think you’re dumb, and that you’re ideas are stupid, are people who lack confidence in their own abilities. Individuals who are at the top of their game, secure in their abilities, view someone on their road to success, as a victory and triumph.
Pay no attention to negative people, for they are only looking in the mirror, while speaking to you. They simply don’t realize it. But you do, because you’re a warrior and you think like one. Keep in mind that the more successful you become, the louder the losers scream.
So, all of the above is just to say, who cares if some people think you’re dumb, or your ideas are stupid. You don’t. Because you realize that really, they only think that of themselves. They’re just putting it on you.
Okay, so now that you don’t care what the people watching on the sidelines think, let’s move on.
I also find that sometimes we don’t take action because we are worried we will fail. Well, here’s the bottom line. You don’t get to be successful without failing. Just hurry up and take action, and the faster you fail the faster you’ll succeed. How will you ever know what works if you don’t try anything? How will you ever know what an enormous outrageous all-out-massive-success-story you will be, if you never take action? You wouldn’t.
But that’s not you my warrior friend. You take action like your life depends on it. Because you know what? Your life DOES depend on it. The life you dream of each night when you sleep, depends on you taking consistent action each and every day towards your dreams.
As a warrior, you know that action is king. It bears worth repeating: ACTION IS KING. And often times, the things you fear the most, are what will bring you the greatest success. Not only for completing the actual action, but what’s more important is that you’re conditioning yourself in the core of your being to realize, that what you feared, was indeed not even worth fearing in the first place.
Taking action on what you fear the most creates a confidence and fire within you, that cannot be achieved any other way. In an instant, your entire world changes. What you previously thought impossible, you now know, is ‘already in the bag.’ It’s done like dinner. You know you will have it, and as a result, you do.
We each have our own battles every day, but understand the most important one, which takes place in your head, is only a game. And since you’re the only player, you choose who wins.
See you on the front line.
