Practice makes better.

You need to be kinder to yourself when you are learning a new skill.

It’s like a teaching a child to read or write for the first time. They don’t bring home their first project from school and you go “Woooww that’s terrible! I can hardly read that! You should give up now little dude”

Of course not! You say, “That’s amazing, I can’t believe you wrote that! You are getting better and better watch time, keep going buddy”

Why not afford yourself the same grace when learning a new skill? 

Sooo you messed up the first time, and second time that’s ok! You didn’t fail, you learned and next time you will be better. 

You can do it! 

Practise your new skills every day. 

If you want to get paid more than a lawyer or a doctor does then you need to invest the time to study too. To hone your craft.

It’s like a student doctor going nahhh I don’t learn that I will just start with surgery.

As Eric Worre said “ If you don’t study, if you don’t practise you are going out there like a blunt instrument on the world” 

Are you willing to invest in you? For things to change YOU have to change, for things to get better YOU have to get better. 

Your income will never exceed your personal growth or your investment in yourself. 

Personal growth and development will make you better, stronger, wiser! 

If you have no time…when turn your car into a drive time university. There are spaces and pockets in our everyday which we can use to make things better.

If you have no time now…invest more of it…so that in the future you can become free of its constraints.

Secret Life Hack

One Thing you can do right now to work out what you want. 

If you can’t work out what you want to do with your life when work out what you don’t want. Often it’s an easier mindset for people to tap into at first. 

Once you have worked out what you don’t want in your life, then write a list of 5 successful people that you admire. 

What is it about them that you like? What similar traits do you they have? What traits do you have in common with them?

Chances are you admire them as they are some things in them you see in yourself and that’s what resonates in you.

Ask yourself…what would I do for no money? What do others say you are great at all the time?

Often we know exactly what we need to do  or what we would love to be doing it’s just a matter of unlocking those skills, or at least admitting them to ourselves!

The Top 5 Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs.

Everyone dreams of a life where they can have freedom of choice. Freedom from the 9-5, freedom of time and eventually financial freedom. But do you have what it takes?

1. True grit

Having true grit means that you can see the long goal, you have a powerful motivation to achieve the long goal and this perseverance means you can get over any hurdles or obstacles that fall into your path along the way. You are the driving force to realising your own dreams and goals and you don’t let challenges stand in your way. 

Being on entrepreneur requires dedication and endurance. 

2. Positive thinkers

The physical and mental benefits of being a positive thinker is so greatly overlooked. Words that you speak, not just out loud, but also to yourself have the power to transform the energy around you and either create a wonderful reality or conjure up a shit storm. 

Positive thinkers understand business is hard but their attitude means they are willing to work through the hard times and they have an expectation of success and happiness. It’s not about ignoring the tough times, it’s about thinking, “What am I learning here?” and not “Why me?” It’s an key part to effective stress management too. 

3. Never stop growing and learning

Being a student of the world around you not only means you learn the new skills you need to run your business, it also means that you can get rid of old beliefs and assumptions and open your mind to new ideas and information. Your personal growth is just as important as your business growth if you want to be a success. Being open minded also means you will be coachable. Learning from what successful people in network marketing have done and following the systems in place for you gives you your best chance of smashing this business. 

4. They show up.

Showing up is making committed, consistent effort in your business everyday. Showing up to trainings and to company events is essential but it’s only one part of the story. It’s about showing up everyday in your own life, when no one is watching too. Making daily efforts to grow your business, to learn new skills, to be a leader all mean you are showing up.  Make showing up your new habit.

5. Self motivation.

The business dictionary gives the definition of self motivation as “Ability to do what needs to be done, without influence from other people or situations. People with self motivation can find a reason and strength to complete a task, even when challenging, without giving up or needing another to encourage them.” Essentially they have listened to the training, they have a vision, they have a goal and they work towards it. 

The great thing is that choosing to be an entrepreneur isn't dependant  on your background, your education or your past. It's only dependant on what you are willing to do now, today, and the steps you need to take to a better tomorrow.  With these five traits you can change lives, fulfil your dreams and live a life of freedom.
