I've talked about this topic before but not in this way so if you're NOT experiencing GREAT SUCCESS currently in your business and YOU WANT MORE, then read on.

You see, in a GOOD economy many small business owners and entrepreneurs can 'slip by' and succeed to a certain degree, maybe to where you're 'comfortable'.

But in a not-so-good economy, you have to be ON YOUR GAME at all times, right?

Well, a big part of being on your game includes, not only having products and services that your customers want at prices they will pay; but it also includes YOU, the business owner, having the right mindset so the Universe understands and gives you what you want.

But having the right mindset is more than just setting intentions, writing out your goals and a plan or speaking affirmations to yourself every day.

In addition, if one day you have a clear, positive picture of what you want and then the next day you may be a little less focused, a little down in fact or maybe a little doubt or worry has crept in and you can't escape it...then guess what?

You are sending mixed messages to the Universe as to what you want, when you want it and how important it is to you.

There are 4 Steps to Creating a Powerful Success Mindset that you want to follow so that you set yourself up for Success, not for Failure:

1. Define and overcome limiting beliefs - you have to first find out what it is, deep inside, that's causing you to be stuck, depressed or lack the confidence in yourself that you know you need to be more successful. You need to find out where your thinking is skewed around money or love or self esteem like "Why do you make decisions based on what you have (or don't have) instead of what you NEED to do?"

2. Create empowering beliefs - then once you find out what you need to shift, you have to take inspired action towards shifting and changing that thinking and acting every day. It's not easy and this part could take months and months (or even years I've seen!). You want to get to a place where there is no fear, doubt or worry holding you back. You want to be uncomfortable, that's when you know you're stepping out in a BIG way.

3. Love for self and others - like I mentioned above about having confidence in yourself and a positive self esteem (100% all the time), this is nearly impossible for most people, we all go through times when we're tough on ourselves for one reason or another. But you have to STOP THAT; seriously, if you want to truly succeed. You have to have complete faith and love for yourself and others that it will all work out and that you will succeed regardless of ANY situation or obstacle that may arise.

4. Owning your own personal power - this is where it all comes together and it shows all the time. You live, walk, talk and even write your clear brand, your message, your vision (like I discussed in last week's ezine), your ultimate lifestyle, your self confidence and you are truly ON YOUR GAME all the time!

Now, these things don't change overnight, they take some time and often take others to help you move through them too. But don't get discouraged, just get started now. If you want that 'magic pill' or 'quick solution' to success -- good luck trying to find it.

What I know about successful people is that they are always working on improving themselves and learning more. They invest in themselves, their businesses and take time to work on this stuff.

That's how I did it; I hired a couple coaches who helped me in the areas I needed to work on and I moved through this much faster than I ever could have on my own. I can help you too, I'll show you EXACTLY what to do.

Hopefully I've given you something to think about as far as how you can become more successful in your business.
