Mindset Gems for Work at Home Women

As entrepreneurial women, working on our own, we don't have a boss looking over our shoulder. This means we have to motivate ourselves. Staying in an open-minded, positive place is crucial to our success.

With that in mind I wanted to share a few Mindset "gems". These are gems I've used myself and were reinforced at my recent Mindset Retreat with Fabienne Fredrickson.

1. Start your day with time for yourself, before your kids and definitely before your business. Set the tone for your day. Ideally journal, read your intention statement, read from a book that has uplifting messages, listen to a guided meditation, or exercise listening to something motivational.

2. Be purposeful about the life you're creating. Know what you want, when you want it and how you want it. Personally, my goal is to do what I want, when I want with whom I want.

3. Embrace change. If you're not happy with the results you're getting, something's got to change. Recognize that the change starts with your thoughts.

4. Make a decision that you want to make a change. The strength and conviction of that decision will set your intention out into the universe.

5. Step into the fear. When we're scared of something we procrastinate taking action. The key is to step into the fear => make the call, write the article, sign-up for the program. When I'm scared to do something, that's my sign that it's what I need to do to move forward. If I do it first thing, the rest of the day flows.

6. Notice your feelings and use them as your barometer for what you're thinking. Catch yourself quickly when you find your energy lagging, or your thoughts going into a less than positive place.

7. Do something that causes you to shift to a more positive vibration - hug your child, listen to music, change your environment, call a friend, take a shower, or go for a walk-whatever works for you. Staying in a funk doesn't serve you or your business.

Those are just a few gems. I promise I have a lot more to share on Mindset. In fact, an entire section of my upcoming Direct Sales Success System addresses this subject because it's truly the key to success in direct sales (and really any entrepreneurial venture). The bottom line is that with a clear intention of what you want and why you want it, you'll be able to achieve your financial goals. Not only that, you'll have fun in the process.
