Note from Natalie: Recession?...What Recession?
 
Do you ever feel like we are being talked into this recession? I do. So I did some research and found that we have had four major recessions since I started my consulting business in 1986. The dot.com bust was the most severe of the four. We have had three major dips in the stock market in the last 10 years. Yet, there seems to be a gigantic amount of people who are doing well, making money and creating success in their lives.

How? With all the bad news and the bad things that are happening the world, how are “they” creating success?

There are certain principles that when practiced on a consistent basis just work. They create successful results; ease; dollars; fun; perfect relationships; great business opportunities - the list is endless.

So where and when do you start to create the success mindset you want? Join me in my article below where I cover the success principles – no they are not secrets – that millions have used to create their
wonderfully successful lives.
 
My love and blessings,
Natalie

Feature Article: Mindset + Action = Successful Results

I wish I could convince each of you that the effect of a recession on you and your business could be over in a very short time. In fact, I would like to convince you that the supposed recession will have no effect at all on you and your business..

I’ve given this a great deal of thought because I’ve found myself really annoyed with how we are all being talked into a the idea of a recession. The evidence is pretty convincing. The media, the politicians, our local lunch time discussion is all about the negativity that is coming. I can tell you that you don’t have to wait to be told there is a recession to have one. Your whole life can be one huge recession.

You could have negative self talk. Your life could may be filled with people who don’t support you. You may be afraid you won't be able to achieve what you want. You may feel that wealth, health and beauty elude you.

You can end the effect of a recession on you and your life right here and now.

Mindset + Action = Results

There are thousands of years of evidence of bad things happening all over the earth including death, war, famine, drought. However, in the last thousand years we have produced incredible art, traveled to other planets, cured many death inducing diseases and developed inventions that have radically changed our lives. Heck, forget the last thousand years. How about the last 20 years of accomplishment and forward progress?

Don’t these facts beg the question: “How"

The most successful people on the face of the earth are absolutely sure that no matter what, they can do what needs to be done to create success in their lives. They are focused, intentional, filled with integrity and know what they do best and do it daily. They have a success Mindset that supports them even when the going gets impossibly tough.

These people have inspired all of us. Everyone knows the story of Edison trying 9,999 times to make a light bulb. Or how about Einstein and his theory of relativity? Or Mother Teresa who worked with the dreadfully sick and dying of India?

We have all experienced our own success Mindset in our lives.

Maybe it was that race in high school that you trained for and won or the promotion you received as a result of your dedication and hard work. You thought about it; practiced what you needed to do; refined your skills; learned your strengths and used them; and found the people (whether in person or through books) who could support you to reach your goal. You visualized it, dreamed about it, talked about it. It became so important to you that you took Action.

The Actions are the steps we take when we have the Mindset of what is most important to us. Our goals are precise and well thought out. Our Action steps move us toward goals in increments we can accomplish. Actions look like: planning you days in advance; getting up earlier; seeking the help of a coach; hanging sticky notes of inspirational sayings on every flat surface in your office/home.

Taking Action can also produce huge fears that can keep us rooted in one spot so we cannot move forward. That is why when putting together out plan for creating success, we know what Results we want.  Without knowing the Results we want, we won’t know when we get there. These Results can not be arbitrary or hidden; they have to be clear, developed, defined and important to us so we know we have reached the goals we desire.

Mindset + Action = Results

Here at the Roadmap, your Extraordinary Success headquarters, each Roadmap team member has a list of questions that we ask ourselves on a daily basis to establish our Mindset. Once we have the proper Mindset we are able to take the Actions we need and want to take so that we can produce successful Results. I have permission of everyone here to share them with you. Here are the questions we ask ourselves daily to support us in the Mindset + Action = Results equation.

  • What is success for me?

  • What are the top 3 steps I can complete today to get me closer to our business success?

  • What is in my mindset right now that is not serving me…and what do I need to do to eliminate it? (many times it is a brief chat with our coach – yes, each of us has a coach)

  • How may I contribute today to those around me?

  • What are the top 3 things that I am grateful for right now?

I have found that taking some of the first steps on your roadmap to success is just a matter of knowing what they are and stepping out. You can do it!!
