5 Simple Ways You Can Create a Prosperity Mindset

A prosperity mindset encourages you to act each day to improve your life on numerous levels, such as health, wealth, love or anything else you deem important. Incorporating one will prove beneficial to you.

Following these suggestions will make easier for you to create and importantly maintain a prosperity mindset.

Strategies to Create a Prosperity Mindset

1. Study the Actions of Successful People

Learn by example. Put this suggestion high on your list. Find someone successful whom you admire and do what they do. These individuals serve as proof your dreams can come true.

Find someone who achieved the same kind of success that you desire.
Study what they did right as well as their mistakes.

Find someone successful whom you admire and do what they do.

Successful people often love to inspire others to find success. They know how abundance works and understand their success won’t deprive anybody of their desires. They set a great example of the prosperity mindset in action!

Think Positive

If you believe in yourself, you can achieve your dreams. The moment you think you can’t do something, you can’t. You can’t eliminate negative feelings 100% from your mind. However,

when negativity arises, you can shift your vibration of attraction by keeping a positive image of the big picture in your mind. Visualize how good it will feel when your outcome arrives.

Picture yourself reaching your goals and imagine how it feels.
Surround yourself with positive people.
Write prosperity affirmations.
Stay open to possibilities.

When you open yourself to new opportunities, you open up to prosperity. Stay motivated, make changes when necessary and don’t let fear block you.

Setting Goals and Action Plans

You can dream all day about where you’d like your life to go, but without a goal or an action plan, nothing will happen. Take time to think about the big picture and then draw in the lines of how you will arrive there.

Break down your goals into smaller steps.
Set manageable and achievable goals.
Stick to your plan whenever possible.

Don’t Give Up

A true passion for desire will drive you and keep you motivated. At times, you will find yourself wanting to quit. Relax. Anybody who accomplished their dreams went through the same giving up emotions.

When you talk to or study the actions of any successful person, they’ll likely tell you tales of their many failures. They will also tell you to keep going.

Realize that everyone feels like giving up, but we can’t give in to these feelings.
Keep the image of your goal in your mind.
Make changes if you need to but continue acting toward your goal.

Invest in a Mindset Coach

People with prosperity mindsets use different approaches to obtain what they want. They let THEIR definition of prosperity guide them. They all own a hungry enthusiasm for life and a positive attitude. They continue to rely on this zest for life on their journey forward.

If you feel unsure about whether you can adopt a prosperity mindset, you could always consider receiving advice from a mindset coach. They’ll help break down your problems and concerns, explore beliefs around scarcity and tailor a plan that will work for you personally.

When you implement these strategies, you’ll gain a renewed prosperity mindset to help you on your life journey.

Did You Know This Can Destroy Your Financial Future?

5:04 PM by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

When self-talk is positive and helpful, amazing things can happen. When self-talk is negative, you make your life more challenging than necessary.

Do you ever remember hearing these statements come out of your mouth—or even in your head?

“I’ve never been good with money.”
“I hate budgets.”
“I’ll never be a 6-figure earner.”
“My market won’t pay premium prices.”

Or any other negative money statement?

Doing so, you engage in the damaging habit of negative self-talk. By telling yourself these lies, you reinforce these beliefs.

When self-talk is positive and helpful, amazing things can happen.

How Your Thoughts Affect Your Financial Well-Being

Continue telling yourself you’re not good with money, and it reinforces a belief not serving you for your good.

For example, you may tell yourself budgets won’t work so why bother, and you find yourself resisting creating one.

Convince yourself you can’t earn a 6-figure income, and you won’t.

This behavior and thinking will create a self-fulfilling prophecy. This kind of self-talk results in poor performance simply because we act as if it’s already true.

If you tell yourself you can’t earn 6-figures, you will not do the things that 6-figure business owners do.

You won’t work to grow your mailing list (“No one reads my emails anyway”),
You won’t increase your coaching rates (“It’s not like I’m some top-earning coach”),
You won’t build a brand worthy of a 6-figure income (“A beautiful brand isn’t necessary at this income level”).

By contrast, if you act and think like you earn 6-figures already, you’ll approach your business quite differently. Your confidence level will increase. You’ll present a very different brand to your prospective clients. You’ll go out of your way to connect with those who can and will afford to pay your higher rates.

How to Turn Around Negative Self Talk

Take the first step toward changing your negative self-talk by simply acknowledging you do it.

Make a list of your negative self-talk phrases and attitudes. For 24 hours, record everything you say to yourself not supporting you, regardless of whether or not you think it’s true. Here are a few examples to get you thinking:

“People won’t like me if I make lots of money.”
“I’m not good enough for that.”
“I could never do that.”
“Things will never get better.
“I can’t afford that.”

Make a note of the ones that come up most often for you and identify their origin if you can.

Change your self-talk by rephrasing. The next time you catch yourself saying “I’m no good with money,” take a minute to recall 5 instances where you were good with money. Maybe you paid off your credit cards or saved for a house or built an emergency fund. Rephrase your self-talk to, “I’m good with money.”

If you feel resistance, say “I decide I’m good with money.” This quiets your inner critic.

Just as negative self-talk becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, so does positive self-talk. Reframe your thinking, and your business finances will certainly improve.

Break Through Your Imposed Limits to Reach Greater Success

10:06 PM by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Along any self-growth journey, it eventually becomes obvious the biggest enemy getting in your way is yourself. Between your limiting beliefs and negative habits, it all comes down to one person… you.

We often ask too little of ourselves and doubt our ability to succeed in the future based on our previous struggles.

These techniques will help you break through your limits:

Decide what you will no longer tolerate from yourself. You put up with a lot from yourself. The late-night snacking, procrastination, and making excuses for not making it to the gym regularly may be common scenarios in your life. When you accept poor behavior from yourself, you’ll get poor results.

Make a list of all the things you will no longer do or accept. If you want to rise to a new level in any endeavor, it’s important to eliminate attitudes and behaviors that get in the way.

Define your goals. Make your goals bigger and better and stick with them. Raise your standards. Most people set goals that are too small. Set bigger goals and then figure out how to attain them quicker. With a good enough plan and hard work, you can accomplish a lot quickly.

Define the five most important behaviors for your future

Define the five most important behaviors for your future. What are five things you can do each day that will transform your life? Look to your goals for guidance. A few examples:

Cold call or email at least 10 potential clients each day.
Eat less than 2500 calories.
Perform 50 pushups.
Talk to one new person that could either be a potential friend or lover.
Spend at least 30 minutes practicing the piano
The things you do each day matter. If you look at your average current day, it’s easy to see why your life is exactly as it is. What can you do each day that will guarantee that next year will be amazing?

Find a quality mentor. Good mentors can be hard to find, but it’s one of the best ways to rise above yourself.

You think you know your weak spots, but you only see some of them. Your ego hides them from you.
There may also be a few things you think you’re good at but aren’t.
A mentor will be able to see the truth.

Evaluate each day in writing. At the end of the day, make a list of the things you did right and those things you could do better. Ask yourself how could you do better and promise to do more of the good things going forward.
Learn. Determine the three things you need to learn this year to have a great year. Where are you lacking? What skills do you want to develop or strengthen? You should always be learning something, but ensure you’re learning what will matter the most.
Enhance your ability to focus. The lack of focus makes it harder to, much of anything. Try using a timer, learn to meditate, make lists, or try another method. The ability to focus comes with practice.

You know you can do better than you have been. We’d like to think there’s a secret to succeeding – a quick trick that will suddenly make our dreams come true. But the truth is uglier. It’s necessary to dig into your weaknesses and get to work on yourself.

Raise your expectations and personal standards. Evaluate yourself daily and find a mentor for help. You are your greatest enemy. Breakthrough your self-imposed limits and success will be yours!

The beliefs you hold about yourself can keep you stuck and prevent you from achieving what you desire. Begin by identifying and changing your limiting beliefs. New beliefs are easy to install using the FREE “7 Steps to Expelling Your Limiting Belief Cheat Sheet.”.

Do You Desire to Follow Your Heart and Trust Your Instincts?

12:05 AM by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Do You Desire to Follow Your Heart and Trust Your Instincts?

Giving a talk last week, somebody in the audience asked what steps I took to reach the point where my life is awesome.

Good question on his part… First step was taking responsibility for my life. Not easy and very scary.

Secondly was learning to trust my instincts and follow my heart.

Do you struggle with being able to follow your heart and trusting your instincts?

I started reflecting back on circumstances where I didn’t follow my instincts. That little tiny voice in my gut. (Guiding Universal Thought™) Guess what? My instincts were right. How about you? How often are your instincts usually right?

Learning To Trusting Your Instincts

There are several good techniques that can help you better grasp the process of trusting your instincts. Some of these common solutions might work for you.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself. – Oprah Winfrey” quote=”Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself. – Oprah Winfrey”]

These strategies can help you trust your instincts:

Stick with your gut feeling. Following your heart and instincts are very similar things. It’s important to go with your initial thoughts. This is because it’s likely a thought that’s coming from within and not something you’ve had time to think endlessly about. You’d be amazed with how many times you just end up going with your initial feeling anyway.
Write down your thoughts. It might help to engage in a free writing session. Pick up a pen and just write your thoughts down as they come. Try not to put the pen down. It doesn’t matter if you start writing some things that don’t pertain to the subject. After reading your notes, you’ll probably get a better idea about your base instincts.
Keep yourself in a relaxed state. It’s always best to do your thinking while you’re relaxed. That way you know you’re not making any strained decisions. Do what you can to relax yourself, whether it’s deep breathing, a warm bath, or meditation techniques.
Avoid changing your mind unless there’s a valid reason. Occasionally, you’ll know that your initial instinct was wrong. In this case, if you have a valid reason to change your mind, you should do so. However, if you don’t have a good reason, just follow through with your initial thoughts.

Now Start Following Your Heart

Sometimes following your heart instead of your mind can seem like the “weak” thing to do. This is not the case; following your heart is following the core of your beliefs… your Magical Essence… and is usually the best thing you can do.

When you follow your heart, you’re usually happy. Happy people enjoy their lives and are usually healthier in the long run. If you want to be happy, you must learn how to follow your heart.

If you want to be happy, you must learn how to follow your heart.

You can begin following your heart by keeping these tips in mind:

Trust your subconscious thoughts. It can be tough to stay in touch with your subconscious thoughts, but they make up your initial instincts and they’re close to your heart. You know that the truth will be revealed to you if you give yourself enough time. Learn to trust yourself.
Go with what feels right. Don’t be afraid to take action towards the things that feel right. If something feels off to you, you can stop and explore the reasons why. It always starts with a feeling. Go in the direction of your positive feelings.
Avoid over thinking. Sometimes your mind can get away from you and start cycling through negative thoughts. Take deep breaths and get back into a positive mindset so that you can see your true path more clearly.

You’ll find that most of the time your instincts and heart are correct in the end. Even when they’re not, banish discouragement and keep practicing. Maintain a positive attitude and keep trying and soon your heart and instincts will be your guiding lights.

Attract Prosperity and Abundance through Intuition

10:45 AM by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Can your intuition lead you to business success?

For the past 7 years, I’ve been exercising my intuition muscle and about 95% of what I do is now based on my intuition. I give my head that symbolic “V8 Juice Slap” on the forehead and say why didn’t I do this sooner? My life became incredibly awesome and keeps getting better since honoring my intuition.

Intuition is a tool that all of us have and is one of your greatest assets. This gift from the Universe enables you to see and feel things beyond the ordinary.

We all have that little voice that tries to tell us things from time to time.

As we get older, we often learn to ignore that little voice. We turn to logic and focus on being practical while dismissing decisions given by the heart.

But we’ve experienced a lot over the years, and there is some part of our brain (the subconscious) that has accumulated a tremendous amount of wisdom. Intuition is powerful and connected to your inner wisdom and insight. Listening to that little voice can be a good thing.

When you trust it, your intuition can steer you down a positive path to make wise decisions that can lead to great abundance.

Here are the 5 techniques that I use to connect and develop my intuition.

5 Easy Actions That Develop Your Intuition:

Meditate for a few minutes each day. One characteristic of intuition is that it has a soft voice most of the time. It can be challenging to notice it if our minds are busy with other things. Meditation is a great way to clear the mind and make room for our intuition to come shining through.

A simple technique to clear your mind is to simply count your breaths and attempt to stay focused on your breathing. Avoid letting your mind wander.

Record your dreams. Our dreams can be full of useful information. Many psychologists believe that we work out our challenges in our sleep. It’s difficult for most of us to remember our dreams. Studies show that we average 5 dreams per night, and most of us are lucky to even remember one.

After you get in bed, tell yourself that you want to remember your dreams in the morning. Keep thinking this to yourself until you fall asleep.
Keep a notebook and pen near your bed. A voice recorder can work well, too. As soon as you wake up, start writing. Dreams tend to fade from memory quickly.
Review your dreams and see if there might be any information you can use in your life.

Follow your intuition. The surest way to shut down your intuition is to never follow it. Start using it in situations that have minor importance. It could be as simple as taking a walk and asking yourself which way you should turn at each intersection or fork in the road.

Show your intuition that you’re listening and responding. You’ll be more likely to hear from it in the future.

1. Relax your mind. Many people find that their best ideas come while their mind is relaxed. Some examples include, while taking a shower or soak in the tub, walking, driving down the highway, mowing the grass, taking a shower, and/or listening to the rain. Think about the times you’ve had great ideas. Try to put yourself in similar situations more frequently.

Keep a journal. Take a few minutes each day to write in a journal. Sometimes, putting things down on paper opens a floodgate of ideas and inspiration. Study what you’ve written. You’re likely to find insights you haven’t considered.

Keep your journals in a safe place, so you’ll feel more comfortable with being honest and thorough.

Being in touch with your intuition can help you identify and solve the challenges in your life that are causing stress. It also releases your imagination and creativity. Your intuition is a great resource, but it’s important to nurture it. Start with smaller things. When your intuition has proven it’s reliable, use it to make bigger decisions.

Your intuition is a tether to your subconscious. It’s your ultimate source of wisdom and creative energy. Make your life easier and richer by utilizing all of your resources.
