Hi Sara,
From what I read it is obvious a great mindset is also a successful person.
Using your mindset correctly will lead you to many opportunities in life.
We don’t practice mindset enough in general. You have to stop and think before you react to any situation.
Hi Michel, thanks for your comment. I totally agree … successful people (in life and in business) have a certain mindset that takes them to places and experiences that others do not/cannot go to.
Yes Sara,
I also believe having the right attitude in life will take you to places you have never been before.
so true…Michel…so true. Charles Swindoll said “…life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it”.
Yes mindset is so important,and we need to do what ever it takes to stay in that positive mindset.
Hi Tommy, thanks for your comment. Yes, that is the key…to do whatever it takes and of course for many that is the challenge.
Hi Sara,
Great post! Having the “right” mindset is key to your success in your business…..absolutely agree!!
Thanks for providing these awesome mindset resources as well 🙂
Hi Joan, thanks for your comment. I look forward to developing this “right” mindset. I know I have to work on it every day and somehow it’s getting easier as time goes by.
Everything starts with mindset.. Without it, no marketing strategy will ever work. You have to prepare yourself to get uncomfortable. And I love the way you put into alphabetical sequence! Awesome post!
Hi Jelena, thanks for your comment. I had fun writing this post – especially the alphabetical sequence you mention. TX
Hi Sara, Very good and important post on mindset, if most people focus more on mindset development, they would not quit and call network marketing a scam.
Hi Calvin, thanks for your comment. I never thought of it that way, but you’re right… if people focused more on their mindset, they would not quit. I guess the problem may be that it’s too hard of a thing to do for many people because they don’t even know their WHY, their purpose, their passion, so there is nothing to motivate a mindset shift.
