Motivation and Mindset
Are you ready to take action .
Good, then lets begin. This is not a sprint and I don’t advocate that it is possible for everyone to complete all of the tasks detailed within 30 days. But if you really want it then it is probable.
People seem to think that they have to make massive changes overnight to succeed now that is not necessarily the case. If you’ve listened to the eBook then you’ll see that it advocates incremental change in actions but massive change in mental attitude. If you believe that you are going to succeed then you will be willing to take the small but painful steps required to become successful online or anywhere else you choose to be successful. Does Russell Brunson advocate this approach? Very much so if you read his recent article cool online conversion boosters you will see that one simple tweak to a website can produce monumental results.
There are thousands of books and opinions out there
There are thousands and thousands of books out there on mindset and motivation. In a nut shell it comes down to belief. Even the most academic of writers are talking about the concept of “self efficacy” which in the terms of psychologists and social scientists alike means “a person’s belief in his or her ability to act in a certain way”- a person high in self efficacy are likely to perform better without becoming stressed than those with low self efficacy.

Similar and closely related terms from the world of social science are locus of control. Someone who has an internal locus of control is more likely to believe that their current circumstances and future expectations are dependent on their own actions and beliefs about those actions. Opposed to that someone who has an external locus of control is much more likely to feel that things will happen regardless of the actions that one takes their selves.
How can we regain control?
1.set goals - If we know what we want to achieve then we are more likely to achieve it
2.break these goals down - Set milestones what are the independent tasks required to accomplish these goals?
3.be realistic - what resources are required time,energy and money.
4.understand our current situation - Knowing where we are now will help us break down the tasks required to achieve or goals.
5.monitor - set a realistic review period to test if what you are doing is working.
6.make contingency plans - If this doesn’t work what will I do next?
