Welcome To October

Success starts in our minds.

Over this past weekend, the church I attend had a community-wide outreach to people who live in economically challenged areas. We gave out groceries, a hot breakfast, and toiletries along with social service resources to them. It was called the motel outreach and we went to a local motel and knocked on their doors to give them little bags of toiletries and resources aka hope. We asked their names and began chatting with them about their life. We asked them if we could pray for them about anything and many times people said yes, can you pray for my finances.

I would say 9 times out of 10 this was the prayer request.

We prayed for them right then and there. As I drove away after we were done and took a snapshot of what I just participated in and looked at the motel a little dilapidated but not much. I saw someone had put beautiful plants outside their door to spruce up the place. Meanwhile, others left their areas not as well kept. I turned to my right and saw something shocking: a whole area in the flood zone where people were living in tents. I then turned and looked across the street and saw very nice condos or apartments and thought:

What is going on here?

Why do we have such disparities in this city?

One thing cropped into my thoughts: Mindset

If you have no hope, life has just beat it out of you then your life will start to take shape as a result. This is clearly what happened to my fellow neighbors. 

Are you thinking with a success mindset?

Many times I will run across business owners who are so busy that their business is falling apart. I offer suggestions for resources that could help them get back on track like using the services of a virtual assistant professional. They never act on my suggestions. Instead, they continue to slug through their business doing the same thing and things slowly start to fall apart. It usually takes some kind of “crisis” to momentarily snap them out of it and spur action to take place. 

This month I want to take a look at what are the actionable steps to take to move from a “stuck” mindset to a “success” mindset. Do you have an accountability partner (s) to help you get stuff done, What are habits that other successful entrepreneurs do, what are some tools we all can use and what will it really take to get it all done. 

I want to motivate and empower you to take action on some of the information that I will share to move your business forward.

Keep IT Sunny~
