The following is a list of the key traits of entrepreneurs for developing a business growth mindset. Take action by working on these mindset tips to achieve further success in your life and business.
Positivity
Nurture your ability to see the best in any business situation and use your ability to turn problems into challenges and therefore, opportunities for growth. Figure out what you consider to be positive both in your life and business. By saying a quick ‘thanks’ a few times a day for your successes will help you remember what you’re working for. Expressing gratitude is one of the most powerful methods of increasing positivity.
Intuition
The ability to listen to your unconscious mind to understand what’s really driving you when it really matters. Intuition is not an easy thing to learn, so the best place to start is to clearly identify your core beliefs and business values. If you haven’t written these down, then you need to as part of your business plan and then keep them at the forefront of your mind when you’re making important decisions. That way you’ll find the things that are most important to your business goals and future success you will push you in the right direction.
A Love of Learning
Nurturing and developing your business skills, beliefs and knowledge through a variety of methods. If you’re lacking a desire to learn new things, try to focus on what it was that drove you to set up your business and start implementing those personal motivations into your daily routine to encourage your mind to look for inspiration.
Learn From Failure
Cultivate the habit to be able to take a step back from your business experiences that didn’t go to plan. Then reflect on the event and understand how to avoid making the same mistake again by going back in your mind to re-evaluate every step that didn’t work out, from preparation through to execution. It’s also a good idea to take an objective view of the situation and ask someone else who was present for their perspective. Making notes of what didn’t go to plan will help you to prepare and overcome them in the future.
Perseverance
Constantly keep your goals written down and be clear in your mind how you are working towards them. Even when you think the odds are against you, the key is to be well-prepared and persevere in maintaining your vision. Just remember what you’ve planned and are working towards and keep that as your main focus. And even if some of the smaller steps towards your planned goal don’t work out, keep the end goal in mind and this will push you forward.
Delegate to Others
Clarity in knowing when to give others the opportunity to take something off your hands, and who is the right person for the job is the most important part of delegation. The key point when you pass work on to someone else, is to make sure you have planned clear objectives, constraints and deadlines that you think are important. And implementing a great two-way communication process for feedback will also bring any other key influential factors to your attention before they get in the way.
Follow-Through
Deliberately set some time aside each day to focus on follow-through. This means taking the time to reach out to others to maintain connections and build business relationships by making phone calls, sending emails, and meeting face-to-face with clients, partners, or other important people. If you allocate time each day to get this done it will soon become an essential part of your business mindset routine.
Be Flexible
Flexibility is another difficult skill to actually teach yourself. In order to be flexible, you need to make planning your top priority which means the ability to make alternative plans when issues arise in the most effective way possible for your business. So, set aside some productivity time each day to prepare for issues to arise and create contingency plans to work around them the instance that they pop up …which they will!
Goal Setting
Having a very clear idea of your business goals will help you identify these larger objectives a top priority. So, make sure you have a written business plan with long-term goals, and the marketing elements to turn these into shorter-term strategies and tactics to achieve them. By writing them down will help you maintain your “Vision” or “End Game” to work towards and achieve.
Action Planning
Highlight on a daily basis which aspects of the “The Business Growth Mindset” you’re going to work on. Then plan in the actions you’ll take to achieve these, how you’re going to do it and by when.
