How Important is Mindset when it comes to your decision making and your path?

Mindset is very important when it comes to following your dreams, goals and your overall journey.  Rather you are pursuing personal goals or business goals, mindset plays a key role in your decision making.  Your moment to moment decisions will have an impact on the overall outcome. 

 

For example, let’s say that you wanted to start a business.  If you have the right mindset, you’re going to research and try different avenues until you are successful.  That may include looking for grants, angel investors, small business loans or any other ideas that will help you as you’re going towards your goal.   If your mind was not as clear, then it would be easier to overlook something or not have the clarity to allow ideas to flow into your mind.

 

You can't just think about it and it's going to happen. Of course you know you need resources, but at the end of the day, having a clear mind will help you think about ways to get resources or think about ways that maybe you can do your business right.

 

Let’s use the scenario and say that you have a very small budget.  Then perhaps you can build your business up over time until it generates enough cash flow to support the growth that requires more money.  Your mindset is at the core of what will drive your thinking and decisions.  It is super important.  I can't say that enough because the way you think is going to make a big difference when it comes to you following your dreams and doing what you want to do.

 

I know I talk about business a lot because that's an area that is one of my specialties.  This philosophy of mindset not only applies to business, it can apply to your personal goals as well rather it’s a dream job or any other personal goal.

 

There are going to be situations and circumstances beyond our control.  Having the mindset that you will overcome any obstacle that comes your way is like adding fuel to a fire.  It won’t stop the ups and downs from happening, but it will allow you to be resourceful and it will open up your mind to different strategies to overcome the obstacle that is in your way.

 

The challenge for you now is what can you do this week to work towards your goal?  Do you need to do more research?  Perhaps attend some workshops?  Or you can work on networking with people.  There are tons of ways to do it virtually now.  This will help your mindset as well because you will feel forward movement as you chip away at your goals.  Thank you for taking the time to read this today.
