10 Mindset Shifts That Helped Me Become a Successful Entrepreneur
In my 20s, I was that employee who hated ALL of my jobs and I felt stuck in a life that wasn’t what I really wanted. I’d look around at work and I’d always feel like I wasn’t supposed to be there. But I felt stuck and I wasn’t sure if there was another path that I could take in life. I felt like I had all this untapped potential inside of me that was waiting to be unleashed, and I knew it wasn’t going to happen in the 9-5 corporate sales jobs I was working in.
Because I’m not the type to settle for a life I don’t really want, I kept searching and searching for another career path on into my mid- to late-20s. And I eventually stumbled upon the online business and branding world. And once I found it, I knew it was the career path that I’d been searching for all along!
But despite knowing it was the right path for me, my momentum to making real financial progress with my business was really slow — because of my mindset. In my head, it seemed far fetched for me to have a fully online business that could actually pay all of my bills. And I didn’t know anyone else who was doing it, so I wasn’t sure if it would even be possible for me.
But here I am…almost two years after leaving my last corporate job and I made it happen! And I’m grateful that even in a pandemic, my online business is still thriving!
In this episode, I reflect the 10 mindset shifts I had to make to go from an employee who hated her jobs, experienced layoffs, was fired before, was demoted before AND I used to have a car that smoked because I couldn’t afford a car payment, while working at this cheap, racist paper company — to successfully becoming a full-time business owner, living comfortably off of money I’m making all on my own doing work I enjoy, on MY terms!
These mindset shifts are important because the way you think is the #1 factor in your success as an entrepreneur. Many people think it’s all about implementing the right strategies. But if your mind is in the wrong place, you won’t ever implement the strategies to begin with. It’s really 90% mindset and 10% strategy.
