My name is Boysie Gordon, and welcome to Boysie Talks Business.
Welcome to episode 29!
In the last episode, I discussed community building and shared a couple of the strategies I used to grow my Instagram account to 1,600+ followers and Medium to 800+ followers.
Today, we are diving into something that I feel holds people back from achievement. We will be talking about the most optimal mindset for entrepreneurial success.
Let’s Dive In!
Bad Vibes = No Money
I want to start off by discussing bad vibes.
THERE IS NO PLACE FOR IT IN YOUR BUSINESS
Not from clients
Not from employees
Certainly not from you
I hear people complain about not making money, and it confuses me.
We live in a cause-and-effect world…
If you do the right things, you get the right things.
So when you aren’t making money (desired outcome)…
You have to assume that what you are doing is the problem.
If it’s your fault… why complain?
The reason many people fail to make money is because they are ego-driven!
There isn’t a reality in their mind where they see themselves as the problem…
But the truth?
Entrepreneurship is nothing more than glorified self-development.
If you aren’t the problem, then you can’t be the solution.
The Best Mindset?
The best mindset is one where you can’t lose!
Think about this…
Imagine if someone sees their losses as an opportunity to improve…
And their wins as confirmation of a good decision.
How could they lose?
They see BOTH the wins and losses as feedback.
Unless there’s some other hidden outcome I haven’t heard about…
That means they GAIN something valuable from both instances!
Easier Said Than Done
Sure enough, everything is easier to talk about in theory…
But how do you do it in reality?
I personally have maintained this mindset for about 4 years,
And I haven’t stopped growing since!
I still get upset.
I still get emotional.
I still feel pain.
This mindset isn’t about becoming invincible!
It’s about translating the feedback you get from your circumstances.
It’s about putting yourself as the solution to the problems you face
It’s about making logical decisions after the emotional outcomes
It’s about acknowledging the opportunities in all situations
I learned early on that my disappointment and sadness came from a lack of direction. Over time, I accepted the fact that whether I was happy or sad, the problem wouldn’t go away until I fixed it.
Soon after that realization, I began focusing more on the problem and less on my emotions.
Now, I have accepted disappointment and pain as parts of the ongoing journey!
Sure, it hurts sometimes, but I haven’t reached my destination.
