Mindset - Unstoppable Entrepreneurial Mindset

In this episode, Joel and Andy talk about developing and maintaining an Unstoppable Entrepreneurial Mindset. Including, sticking to your way of working and your pricing. Not trying to please everyone and not being afraid to say no to working with some people.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You are in control of your thoughts.The customer is not always right. If you don’t work the way they want or charge what they want, you are simply not a good match. If a potential customer does not fit the criteria you have for people you can help, don’t work with them.Move with the times, adapt your business, but don’t fall into shiny object syndrome.Mental clutter reduces your ability to make decisions. Social media easily consumes too much of your mental bandwidth and energy.Every time you do something that feels a bit of a drag, ask yourself what can I do to make this more efficient?Compartmentalise. Don’t waste time thinking about things that do not matter.Start with why. When you know why you're doing what you're doing, and who for, you have purpose and focus only on what matters.

BEST MOMENTS
