Mindset Hacks to Help You Set and Achieve Your Goals  

When it comes to setting and achieving goals, mindset is everything. I’ve written a lot about tactics that are helpful when it comes to setting goals but at the end of the day, your mindset will make or can break your ability to achieve the results you want for yourself and your business. When you start a business and have a big goal for yourself you MUST believe that it is possible to achieve. Here are some tried and true methods to develop a good mindset that have worked for me.

Surround yourself with people who believe in you. 

Our team works really hard to help clients set and achieve business goals by producing a marketing road map and then supporting them step-by-step in their journey. We are content producers, cheerleaders, thinking partners, creators, managers, administrators and more. When you’re just getting started in your business it’s tough to be all of those things for yourself. Your number one job is to be great at what you do and so making time to focus on future goals on top of all of the day-to-day details that go into operating a successful business is a challenge.

One thing that helps me to maintain a good mindset is to surround myself with people who believe in me. It is very motivating to talk to people who are supportive and positive. And if you don’t have those people in your life, the good news is that there are loads of networking groups, support groups and masterminds both online and in real life that can help. Spend time with the people who believe in you and it will be easy to believe in yourself.

Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you are right.

Fact: You are far more likely to get where you want to go if you believe you can. It’s a different kind of confidence than just believing in yourself, it’s the kind of confidence that comes from your gut. Often it’s simply deciding that you can achieve your goal that helps to move things forward.

Find what feels good.

When I can find the fun in what I’m doing, laugh at myself and give myself grace for not always getting it right, results flow more freely. Focusing on what you want from your business should be fun. Leaning in to the feeling of your biggest dreams coming true feels amazing.

If the image of the end result doesn’t light you up, then you may want to reconsider your big goals. We were put on this earth to seek out joy. Find the fun in your work. It will do wonders for your mindset, and this change in mindset will set you on the path to your goals.

Journal, move or try meditation.

Every time I spend 10-20 minutes turning inward, either through a guided meditation, journaling or doing a YouTube yoga class, my mindset shifts, my nervous system relaxes and the ideas flow. Honestly, this works for me 100% of the time. 100%! And I still find it hard to do.

Procrastination is a very human quality but if you put time and effort into practices that quiet your mind, you will be impressed with the results. Here are a few tools I use:

• Yoga with Adriene
• Insight Timer guided meditation app
• Goal setting priming exercise with Tony Robbins.

Ask yourself: What do I have to lose? 

Perhaps the simplest mindset trick of them all is to ask yourself: What do I have to lose? Our minds are programmed to protect us, but if you really dig into this question it becomes fairly evident that the consequence of writing down a goal is not going to result in death. Sometimes we just need to take a minute to remind ourselves that we have nothing to lose and everything to gain when we set goals for ourselves.

Put a little time and energy into mastering your mindset when it comes to setting and achieving goals and I promise you will start to see results.
