MLM MINDSHIFT

Welcome!

When building an MLM or Network Marketing business, there is a very real danger of becoming stuck and hitting a point where growth and income have plateaued or may have not even started.

You need to be building your team, and if you are not, you will be feeling bored, frustrated and overwhelmed.

You would have started your business because what it could offer you in terms of lifestyle would have made you feel happy. Building something you could call your own. Maybe more time with your family, or simply being able to manage your time the way you want, and possibly many other reasons.

But what has happened now? Why are things not going as planned?

How do those that succeed in these businesses do it? How do they create their millions?

They start RIGHT HERE…….By creating a Mindset that has them laser focused on their outcomes and the steps they need to take to get there.

THESE 3 STEPS ARE GOING TO HELP YOU INSTANTLY THINK THE SAME WAY

STEP 2: Understand Your Mindset

From the research of Stanford Psychologist, Dr.Carol S. Dweck Ph.D., we can understand how we live our lives from one of two different mindsets – A Fixed Mindset, or a Growth Mindset.

Those that live with a Fixed Mindset believe that their personality, their potential, and their intelligence are all framed and determined at birth, whilst those that live with a Growth Mindset believe that their personality, potential, and intelligence can be improved. They believe that we are all born with a ‘clean slate’, and every person on this planet can be whatever they choose to be. They decide to improve their life situation by learning, applying themselves, and by failing.

Some examples of Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset language are:

If you have a Growth Mindset, how are you using it?

Are you using it to your best potential, and you're on track to creating the life you want?

Or do you know where you want to be, and just don’t know how to get there?

If you have the vision of where you want to be and are prepared to learn and do what it takes to get there, then you are heading in the right direction.

If you have a Fixed Mindset, ask yourself these questions:

Am I happy where I am at right now? Y / N

Do I want to stay where I am at right now? Y / N

Do I want a successful life? Y / N

Do I want to choose how I live my life? Y / N

Am I prepared to change to a Growth Mindset Y / N

If your choice is to change to a Growth Mindset you are probably now asking: “How do I do that?”

I’m glad you asked.

STEP 3: How To Create A Growth Mindset These principles will help you create a Growth Mindset. Just keep progressing in the direction you want to go by building and expanding your thinking around these steps.

How To Create A Growth MindsetSTEP 1

Recognize that there are two different mindsets

Look for evidence by researching people who have achieved high levels of success

STEP 2Make a decision to change your mind

Change your internal language

Choose to learn

STEP 3Embrace challenges

Do your best to find success - Effort

Be motivated by setbacks

I understand that sometimes this is easier said than done. And some people have many things that weigh them down with their thinking making it hard to move forward.

If this is where you are at the moment, that is fine. As long as you are prepared to move forward, then there are simple tools to help you get moving.

Conclusion Do you run your business with a Fixed Mindset? If so, I do hope these tools are helpful to you so can expand and grow. And equally, don’t look at this as a setback, more so, look at it as an opportunity to get the outcomes you have always desired.

If you already have a Growth Mindset, continue to develop your potential. Make your journey one of leadership and learning, and create ways to foster alternative views and constructive criticism within your team. This will expose any setbacks, and allow you to make the necessary changes to move forward.
