Hey Friend, Making 6-7 figures is not even that much in todayâs day and age. Donât believe me? Try getting there. You must aim higher, find and surround yourself with those who can lift you up. When you joined this daily email newsletter, I shared with you I wanted to "Earn" your long-term trust. Iâve got subscribers that have been with me for 5+ years, clients of over 10+ years - that love to buy, that keep buying over and over again. I also promised that Iâd share my number one lesson about the mindset with you, which I want to do in todayâs email. To come up with what you'll read below, I sat down and asked myself a hard question: "Whatâs the most important thing Iâve learned about the power of mindset and its impact on success over the last 16 years of being a full-time entrepreneur?". Thatâs 16 years of "Not having a boss" but actually relying on MYSELF to get paid. ⦠and my answer might surprise you. Are you ready for it? Here it is: Take care of URGENT things by being short-sighted. Yep, thatâs it. Read that again. Itâs not to plan for the next 5 or 10 years. Itâs not trying to make a quick million bucks. Itâs not to find a co-founder. Itâs not to go "all in" and mortgage your house. Itâs not to try to do 10 things on social media. Itâs to take things one small step at a time with the right guidance of a mentor. Not to rush. To plan and assess risk carefully. You see, most people think entrepreneurs love risk. In reality, every successful entrepreneur Iâve met (even billionaires) HATES risk. Iâve met multi-billionaire; Richard Branson and as a fan of his work, his personality, and his Virgin companies I can tell you personally heâs actually very risk-averse. Myself included. Let me share a story to illustrate my point... Iâm sure you know Richard Branson. The way he started Virgin Atlantic is a perfect example of how successful entrepreneurs minimize risk upfront. In 1984 he wanted to start an airline, but he also knew that a brand new Boeing 747 would cost a cool $100,000,000 to buy brand new. So what did he do instead? He leased a used Boeing 747 from AerolÃneas Argentinas on the condition that if Virgin Atlantic flopped, he could give back the plan without any consequences. Of course, Virgin Atlantic was a roaring success, but Richard did a great job capping the downside risk while maximizing the upside. Instead of trying to secure dozens of planes and taking on the incumbent airlines, he was deliberately short-sighted and focused on selling tickets for just ONE flight. Then two flights. Then three. Then four, etc. And as they say, the rest is history. The quote that best encapsulates this mindset comes from Martin Luther King Jr: "You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Iâve had this simple yet powerful quote nearby me itâs served me well. Read any business magazine and youâll see advice to "THINK BIG! SWING FOR THE FENCES!! GO ALL IN!!!". ⦠but in reality, when you research successful entrepreneurs and business owners, they minimize the downside, think in small steps, and take carefully calculated risks. If I had to summarize the mindset traits that have helped me over the last two decades, they would be: Put one foot in front of the other. Donât let big goals stop small progress. Make meaningful progress every day on something thatâs important. Have only one priority at a time. Not ten. Break your ten-year goal down into a goal for this year, this quarter, then this month. Donât talk about your goals with people who you donât aspire to be like. Failures are inevitable. Embrace them. Just learn from them and quickly move on. Donât tolerate mediocre people who try to bring you down. Hire the best so you become the best at what you want to achieve. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. That last one is probably quite timely at the moment, isnât it? Hereâs the thing if you donât take care of yourself, your cash flow, your business then you canât help others. The best way to get cash + clients coming in is to have the right funnels that do your marketing & selling for you... OK so thatâs my lesson about mindset - Take care of URGENT things by being short-sighted. Very counterintuitive I know, but itâs served me well over my career. Tomorrow Iâll share my best lesson about focus, Iâve spent oh gosh a great many multiple figures just to figure out how to actually focus. In fact, I paid a gentleman $35,000 to "upgrade my ability to focus", Iâll share with you tomorrow. I know youâve probably got a million things on your mind right now and Iâm confident tomorrowâs email will help you "keep the main thing the main thing".
