The mindset is the most important tool you posses. It is about tweaking your head into the pre destined direction.
There are three »free« tolls that you must start using on your own advantage. One we call vision, the other are goals that you set and the third is “support group” that we call motivation.
Without vision you wont succeed, cause through vision we are able to see »a clear picture of our fullfilled goals in our minds«. The way to aproach it is to start things with the end in your mind.
I bet If you think of yourself, every success you had, it all started with the vision.

One of the biggest things holding people back is a “victim mentality”.
Formulate and stamp your mind with a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Never allow to think yourself as failing. You must be aware that seeing glass half full requires same amount of your mental work as seing it half empty. Your mind will start to seek the things that will fullfill your picture with successfull puzzles from your environment to make the glass half full.
The size of your vision will dictate the size of the result.
YOU are valuable. Don’t sell yourself short.

Focus on the big picture. Don’t worry about the details of how you will get there.

So now we talked about vision, which is the big picture of where you want to go.
And what we need to help us reach closer to our vision are goals. Picture it as a neccesary steps that we must undertake to reach them.

1) they should be specific (measurable)
2) they should be serious, but attainable
3) they should have a deadline

# VERY IMPORTANT: Write your goals down, and keep them in sight.
# You can have short term goals, long term goals, and everything in between.
# Re-evaluate your goals periodically.
# When you reach a goal, be sure to celebrate for a few minutes before setting the next goal.

For example: I set a goal to earn more than in my day job in one year, that is around $15,000 of net profit before November 1st. 2010. Short term, to make my first sale till New Year 2010 and middle term is set till march to earn 50 $ per day

Keep in mind that you will need to keep setting new goals for yourself as you build your business. As you will continue with progress, it will become more apparent what your goals should be, so write them down frequently as you go through the process.

One of the most commonly asked question is “How do I stay motivated and take action?”
This can be achievable by setting yourself a specific goals.
Goals = short term
Vision = long term

In plain words this can be described as motivation supports goals and goals supports your final vision.
Your primary motivation should to be tied to your vision.

For example:
Feeling good about yourself or living a certain lifestyle = long term

# Your vision needs to inspire you for the long term.

# This business requires self motivation.

# Externally influenced motivation is not a bad thing. It’s a natural part of life… But it’s not enough.
# Internal (intrinsic) motivation will keep you going when the going gets tough, that can be, in my case:
-my faith
-a certain lifestyle i want to live
-my family
-a sense of fulfilling my purpose

We will round this mindset paragraph, with an action step: what you have to do is to think about finding your vision. Seek the start with the end in your mind. No problem whether your vision wont motivate you for the long term, you can still tweak it later. The main thing is to start takeing action. Which guides us again to yourself. It all starts with you, it involves a choice, and the choice is yours (no pussy thing here).

We all started with small shoes…but some people are stucked with them forever. Remember that you choose how your shoes will fit you later.
