Choose your mindset: get going or going nowhere

by Andrew E Randall

We usually see people who are successfully self employed as natural-born go-getters with a gift for imaginative thinking. Often we also see that they get great satisfaction from their work and seem truly pleased with their day and all around happy. The question here is, can you and I feel that same satisfaction and pride at the end of the day? The harsh reality is that not everyone can.

Not everyone is cut out to be self employed, many are simply too comfortable working for someone else and do not want the stresses or responsibility that come with being their own boss.

Being your own boss means you must know how to find information on your own. Those who are self employed must be able to gain leverage on themselves as well, and know when and how to use that leverage to motivate his or her self.

If you can motivate yourself properly then you are a huge leap closer than most to the success you desire. However there is hope for the people who have trouble motivating themselves when times get tough, because that is most of us.

Now I will give you an example to help you better understand what I mean by leverage: What did you work for at your previous or current job? What motivated you to work hard? Was it the pride in the work you did? Maybe it was the paycheck? What kept you going when you did not feel like working?

You used leverage to push yourself. You knew if you did not do what you needed to do then you would not find any more paychecks in the mail. You knew if you did not teach your students well they would not be successful in life. You knew if you took a breather because when your boss was not around someone would probably notice and you wouldnt get that promotion you have been shooting for. So on and so forth.

Use leverage over yourself to keep going. We all already have this skill, most just dont know how to apply it yet.
