Mindset Is Your Only Stumbling Block To A Better Life
How to change your mindset to change your life
Do you want a better life?
Have you thought of starting an online business through writing?
You’re here on substack, of course you have.
Thinking is not enough.
Taking action is not enough.
There will be many challenges when you go at it 100%.
Challenges you’d face:
Writers’ block
Slow growth
Frustrations
There will be 101 questions in your mind and 101 problems when you actually start.
Thinking about them will solve nothing.
Taking action may solve some.
But there is only one way to solve all these problems.
Change your mindset from “Can I” to “I Can”.
Once you think “I can”, you will find out the “how-tos”.
In Olly Richards’ CASE STUDY: Blueprint Of A $10M Online Education Business, he said,
There are no such things as business problems, only mindset problems.
Change your mindset, change your life.
How to change your mindset to solve problems?
I view mindset as having 10 levels.
Level 1: Basic awareness
Level 2: Positive self-talk
Level 3: Gratitude practice
Level 4: Goal setting
Level 5: Embracing failure
Level 6: Resilience building
Level 7: Limiting beliefs
Level 8: Mindfulness
Level 9: Emotional intelligence
Level 10: Identity shift
From Level 0 to Level 1
There is actually a level 0 in the list above.
A lot of people told me they are satisfied with their life.
When asked to rate how satisfied, they gave a rating of 6 or 7.
How is that satisfaction?
It scared me that people are willing to accept a 6 or 7 satisfaction level.
And they think nothing is wrong.
Ask yourself:
Don’t you have dreams?
Don’t you want more？
Don’t you want to live without regrets?
I admit that I was once at level 0.
Living life aimlessly, thinking that a stable job and steady lifestyle is all I’ll need.
A book woke me up.
The One Thing by Gary Keller got me thinking of what I should be doing.
Where I’ll be heading if I let myself go with the flow.
That’s when I start to go from level 0 to level 1.
My mindset change was awareness and a willingness to improve.
