5 common mindset issues which can stop you from making a lot more money

1 : NOT STICKING WITH THE PLAN

You commit to a new system/program/method and you throw yourself in excitedly on day 1. By day 3, you’re not seeing results and you start to doubt yourself. By day 7, you’re already looking for something else.

If you’ve committed to something for an period of time, stick it out. Then review your results at the end. Don’t give up halfway through. So many people fail because they give up too soon !

2 : FEAR OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

Would you rather feel a little hurt for a few weeks – and then make lots of money…or would you rather feel smart and superior – but continue making less than you want ?

Nobody likes being told they are wrong. But if you pay an expert to help you and you reject that help, you’re robbing yourself of the opportunity to improve.

If you invest in me, I will probably beat up on you until you’re producing excellent copywriting which makes sales. Some people love this – because they become good and make money FAST. Other people don’t – because their ego gets bruised.

Also included in this category is letting negative feedback halt your progress. That might come in the form of bile-filled comments on your Facebook ads. Or only 10 people watch your first Facebook live. Or you have 5 sales conversations in a row and none of them want to buy. The tendency is to think ‘this isn’t working’ and give up.

3 : THINKING YOU KNOW-IT-ALL

It’s that automatic desire to respond ‘yeah, I know that already’, no matter what someone says to you. Loads of people think they are experts in sales and marketing. Yet they aren’t making any money. If you can’t put your ego to one side and admit ‘I’m not getting results, therefore I need help’ – you’ll struggle to improve.

4 : FEAR OF BEING SEEN

We all have a deep rooted desire to fit in with the crowd, to be accepted. Unfortunately this doesn’t work so well when we are branding ourselves. We need to stand out from everyone else.

This desire to fit in causes us to avoid things that progress our business – like live video, sales conversations, charging what we are worth.

It’s that fear of people going ‘What? You’re charging 2k ? What gives you the right to do that ?’

The fear deep down cause us to not put ourselves out there. As a result, we either are invisible, or we come across as ‘me-too’.

This fear isn’t unreasonable either. When you become more visible, people will laugh at you. They will scoff behind your back and say ‘what is this idiot trying to do ?’

Until you start making lots of money, that is. Until you no longer have to sit in some miserable day job Monday – Friday like they do. Then they either shut up, or they ask you for advice.

5 : FEAR OF SELLING

Lots of people are putting out content and being seen – but fail to make an offer to their audience.

Or if they do make an offer, it’s very tentative.

Essentially their strategy is ‘put endless value out into the world and hope someone wants to work with me’. Generally that doesn’t work too well.

You have to be willing to say ‘here’s what I’m selling and here’s why it’s awesome.’
