Mindset for Entrepreneurs and eCommerce Sellers
This autumn, I'm going to be creating a series of podcast episodes dedicated to the theme of mindset for entrepreneurs. The reason why I'm creating this series is simple. In the 2 1/2 years I've been coaching new sellers, it is - somewhat to my surprise - the biggest block to progress for new ecommerce entrepreneurs.
What do I mean by "Mindset for Entrepreneurs"?
Good question. First of all, by "mindset for entrepreneurs ", I do not mean some quick NLP "hacks" or sales techniques. This is a very pragmatic, real-life based set of practical steps and actionable insights.
It's also about sustainable mindset change, not the sugar high of a hack. So you're following some 21-year-old who has made some money for five months and knows how to get 50,000 YouTube followers. Great. Desirable tactical abilities for sure. Learn what's on offer. Still, in your heart, you know it's not the way to create sustainable wealth. And I would agree with you!
Hence the need for a deeper solution.
For sure, we are going to include such seemingly mundane blocks as time management. Mechanics and technique, right? Well, dig deeper. Managing time productively implies the question: what am I trying to even produce? Which is of course goal setting.
But where do these goals come from? And, having set goals, and even pencilled some time into the diary, how do we assure that actually happens? Grand plans with little action are as common as leaves on a true. How do we actually get into action? And stay in action?
These are some of these reasons why I'm creating this mindset for entrepreneurs series.
