I have discovered, after much research in self-development and Life Coaching, 8 similar behaviours between the successful entrepreneurs and those making all the money. If these 8 action steps are followed daily and consecutively - there is no doubt in my mind that success will come your way!

DELVE INTO THE MINDS OF THE WEALTHY - Write down the values and beliefs of the entrepreneurs you admire or hope to be as successful as, and simply adjust yours to be the same. Another great idea is to actually find a local successful entrepreneur and ask if you can have a coffee with them to ‘pick their brain’ so to speak. Obviously compliment them, and then explain why you admire them so and ask if it is possible that they would share a few lessons to help you on your way to success. If you can’t do that, read the biographies of people like Richard Branson, or Donald Trump and learn that way. Replicate success - and that is what you will get, copy the behaviours of the lazy, and that is also what you will get! Which do you want?

ENVISION - Scientists have proven that visualising can increase your chance of success. The more often you visualise, the more the subconscious mind believes that it has happened, and therefore starts looking for ways to make sure it behaves in a similar way. Do this regularly and you will “train” your mind for success. Sit in a quiet spot, visualise your most successful day as an entrepreneur. Take notice of what you are doing in this picture, what you say to yourself, what others say, how you feel, how you stand / walk, and any other significant points.

GOALS - Although these seem easy and not relevant - they actually are imperative to success. I mean you can’t get to a desired destination in a car, without first thinking of where you want to go. Success as an entrepreneur is the same, and the more specific you are with your goals, the higher chance you have of success. It is also a good idea to have short, medium and long term goals. When writing them down, don’t focus on HOW you are going to get there, that will come, just on where you want to go.

DAILY ACTIVITIES THAT PRODUCE PROFITS - Obvious, I know - but even I am guilty for being distracted by non-income producing activities! The best thing you can do is to sit down and write up the actual tasks that bring in money - whether it be marketing calls, placing an ad or even having a meeting with clients. Once you have your list of direct income making activities, do at least 1 -2 of them EVERYDAY.

BELIEVE - Believe and expect that you will be successful. Expectation is a powerful tool when it comes to the law of attraction. How many times have you expected (to the core of your belief) something to happen, and it did - or vice versa. Expect your success and it will happen!

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE - Focusing on what you have, will only attract more to what you have. Focusing on what you don’t have, will attract more of the feeling of lack. Whenever you start feeling that you are focusing on being broke, or on not having enough - stop, and write down ten things you are grateful for. This will shift the energy that you are sending out and help you to re-focus. The more positive you are, you start to notice more positive things and attract more of what you want.

IMMERSE IN SELF-DEVELOPMENT - The true successful entrepreneurs are ALWAYS learning, always evolving. The more you grow inside, the more you will grow in business, finances and so on. Plug yourself into self-development courses regularly to learn.

PERSEVERANCE - Commitment and perseverance is key to surviving obstacle and actually arriving at your goal. Vow now that you will never give up until your goals are achieved. With commitment like that, you have no other choice but to succeed, not matter what is thrown in front of you.

Follow these 8 behaviours daily and I guarantee you will be successful in your own right! Good luck, I can’t wait to hear about you one day, and to learn from you!
