Everyone wants to be a highly successful person, but not everyone understands what it takes to be one. We’re overloaded with all this information and tips on becoming successful, but it’s hard to get anywhere if you don’t start in the inner game. Everything becomes more manageable if you start with the right mindset!
Highly Successful People Decide Fast
Deciding is a normal part of our day. In fact, we do it more often than we think! But the main difference in how highly successful people decide is that they do it fast. No reluctance. No doubts. No fears.
I used to have a hard time making decisions because I didn’t trust the answers or myself. I jumped on and off an idea because of fear and worry. It did not get me anywhere, but it exhausted me too much. Does this sound like you sometimes? You can change that.
Highly successful people think this way: If this answers my question or prayer, then trust it and follow it. It’s as simple as that!
Or maybe not.
Most of us are afraid of making the wrong choices. We steer away from anything that could cause future pain, like losing time, losing money, or hurting other people’s feelings.
The secret here is to bear in mind that God won’t let you go too far down that road even if you choose the wrong path. As soon as I internalized this completely, I had the power and permission to make mistakes. It allowed me to just go for it even if I do not have all the answers to the questions in my head yet!
And you would know if you’re on the “wrong path,” by being sensitive to a feeling of being unsettled. Not scared, not worried, but unsettled. I’m sure you’ve felt this at some point before! If something feels off, or if it does not feel aligned to your soul or purpose, then it’s worth taking a backtrack.
Highly Successful People Don’t Need Guarantees
“Do I get a 30-day guarantee?”
“Is there a satisfaction guarantee?”
I was all about the guarantee. But highly successful people do not need that. Here’s why:
If you’re waiting for the money-back guarantee, it undermines you and your power because you surrender and place that power into someone else’s hands.
Aren’t you powerful enough to generate results? It also undermines you by not being in committed energy. If your other foot is out the door and you are already looking for an escape patch before you’ve even started, then you aren’t playing the inner game correctly.
Stop existing on guarantees to move forward. You are so powerful that YOU ARE THE GUARANTEE. You don’t need a sticker or a stamp to assure you anything. You don’t need anyone to guarantee you anything because you’re the only one who should be doing that for yourself.
Highly Successful People Play The Long Game
In a generation where we are blessed with technology and instant answers, playing the long game can be very challenging. No matter how much technology may shift, the mindset of playing the long game is not going to change.
Highly successful people believe in long-term gains and never short-term ones. A very successful friend once told me that many entrepreneurs would not make 6-figure incomes within their first two years. That struck me even until this day!
It instantly changed how I perceived everything in my business. I shifted from “I have to make money now” to “I have two years to figure this out!”
Moreover, he also gave this powerful advice: “Give it your all for two years and you will be successful.”
This holds true not only for business but for everything, including my weight loss journey. Years ago, I struggled with my weight, and I knew I had to do something about my love affair with chocolate and peanut butter m&m’s.
I held a mantra in my head saying four goals: “I weigh 125 pounds. I eat healthy. My body is toned all over. My belly is flat.”
I had to start thinking like a thin person, so all my decisions went into that direction, and it worked! I started choosing my food more wisely, my cravings went away, and my love affair with the gym started to blossom.
But it did not work for a few days. I had to do it little by little, making everyday choices for four and a half months. Not four minutes, not four days. Four and a half months of being consistent with my mantra, and eventually, my habit and lifestyle.
We are taught to get instant results, but this can’t be how the success mindset goes.
The Bottom Line
Many people keep learning about how they should act or speak to embody a successful person, but it all starts with knowing how they think! When you use these three tips on improving your mindset, the rest will easily follow.
