The most potent asset in your business isn't money, employees, credentials, or even your products or services. It's your mindset. Your business can only grow as fast as your mind and thinking do. To build a million-dollar business, you need to think like a million-dollar business owner. The following seven principles are essential to developing a million-dollar mindset. Spend 15-30 minutes each day focusing on these principles, and you'll be making the best investment towards building your million-dollar enterprise.
Successful companies and business leaders create causes, not just businesses. They leave a lasting legacy and make the world a better place. To reach the million-dollar level, your business must have a transcendent purpose - a purpose that's bigger than yourself and your self-interests. As the renowned Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl said, "Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue... as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself." What is the transcendent purpose of your business? How can your business make a difference in your customers' lives?
What you focus on in your business is what you'll multiply. If you focus on problems, you'll get more problems. If you focus on solutions, you'll find more solutions. Your attention drives your most probable outcome. Where is your attention in your business right now - on the problem or the solution? How must you shift your attention to reach the million-dollar level?
Your thoughts shape your business and your world. If you're attracting low-income or difficult customers, your beliefs about your income worthiness or the type of clientele that will want your products/services are attracting these customers. Your business is always a reflection of your inner thinking. To level up your business, you must first level up your mind. You must understand the value you offer and set your sights on the customers you want to attract. What challenges are you currently facing in your business? How do they reflect your thinking?
Having hopes, dreams, and visions of becoming a million-dollar enterprise is a good first step, but it's not enough. Deliberate creation comes from deliberate intention, from making a decision that you will take your business to the next level. When you're 100% committed, synchronicity and magic happen. The right people and resources to support your vision will appear effortlessly. Momentum will pull you towards your dreams. Are you wishfully thinking, or are you 100% committed to creating your visions and dreams? What will it take for you to be 100% committed?
Marketing is not a battle of products. It's a battle of perceptions. It all starts in the customer's mind. Perceived value attracts customers to your business, and real value retains them. What are you doing to create perceived value in your customer's mind? Are you winning the battle of perceptions?
Every action has a consequence or outcome. While you can't control the outcome, you can control and are responsible for your actions. If you want a different outcome in your business, you must take different actions. A million-dollar enterprise requires higher-level strategies and performance actions than your past efforts. Where are you getting inferior outcomes in your business? What different actions can you take to create a different outcome?
All riches start in the mind. Your mental attitude determines the difference between a struggling $10,000/year business and a booming million-dollar empire. "As you believe, so shall you receive." If you were to picture a million-dollar business, how would that business be different from what you're operating now? How differently would you need to be to run a million-dollar business?
Mindset changes don't happen overnight. It takes persistent focus, effort, and attention to shift deeply embedded thinking to a new level. However, just 15-30 minutes of time daily to mastering these principles and shifting your thinking can reap much greater rewards in your business than 1000 hours of additional efforts. The creation of a million-dollar enterprise is only a mindset away.
