6 Ways to Develop a Success-Oriented Mindset

January 12, 2023 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

Running your own business is not always easy, as you already know. There are challenges from the start, and you’re constantly being faced with fires to put out. Developing a success-oriented mindset can help you change your perspective and take your business to the next level!

You can accomplish a lot more when you feel like you can do anything you put your mind to. Having confidence in yourself changes your mindset from “I’m not sure I can do this” to “I know I can do this; I just have to figure out how.” Perspective is everything, and when we can control our outlook towards challenging situations, we can harness a positive mindset and unwavering determination to accomplish goals that we set for ourselves.

Let’s explore six tips for how to develop a success-oriented mindset.

  1. Regularly Take Yourself Out of Your Comfort Zone

One of the ways to gain confidence and to grow is by regularly taking yourself out of your comfort zone. Do one thing each day that makes you uncomfortable, whether that’s eating something new, trying a new workout, or testing out a new marketing initiative.

Taking yourself out of your comfort zone could also mean delegating more tasks to employees that you would normally take on yourself! To develop a success-oriented mindset, you need to be able to let go of some aspects of your business, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel.

I believe successful people are comfortable with being uncomfortable all the time. That is how they got to be successful. You too can learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable; however, you might have to initially get outside your comfort zone a bit.

  1. Never Stop Learning

A success-oriented mindset is synonymous with a growth mindset. The determination that drives you towards success is also one that pushes you to learn along the way. When you run into things you’ve never faced before, having a growth mindset allows you to ask questions and explore, so you can discover new solutions, and this, in turn, helps you on the path to even greater success.

Learning new things doesn’t need to be restricted to business topics—it could be learning a new skill, learning how to navigate through a new city, or learning how to focus on and solve a challenging situation.

  1. Set Smaller, More Achievable Goals

If you start by trying to tackle larger goals, you may get discouraged if you don’t reach them as soon as you’d like. By setting smaller, more achievable goals, you can boost your self-esteem and confidence when you achieve those goals.

Think of it as taking baby steps up a ladder rather than trying to jump straight to the top from the ground floor.  You’ll still get there when you take one step at a time, and with each step you take, you’ll have the confidence to reach for the next one.

It also helps to make the smaller goals more actionable and specific, so you know exactly what needs to be done in order to reach that goal. For example, instead of saying you want to exercise before you start working each morning, you can set a goal of running one mile before you start working, or even more specifically, running a mile in a certain time frame.

  1. Surround Yourself with Like-Minded People

Create an environment of success-oriented individuals around you. By hiring top talent and working with people smarter than you are, you’ll grow as an individual and as a business. Surrounding yourself with talented people will also motivate you to learn new things and increase your own knowledge and experience.

While it may be uncomfortable surrounding yourself with people at a higher level than you are, you will ultimately benefit from learning from them and pushing yourself further because of them.

  1. Create a Success-Oriented Routine

Start your day off strong with a routine that sets you up for success. For example, you may feel more productive if you wake up earlier, start your day with a workout, write down 3 things you are grateful for, focus on the outcomes you want to have for the day, and accomplish several tasks before many people even get out of bed.

That feeling of productivity can carry over throughout your day, and you may find that you get more done when you’ve had time to focus on yourself at the start of the day.

Have a list prepared of what you need to do that day even before you get up, so that you can hit the ground running as soon as your eyes open. You can prepare your to-do’s either the day before, or even at the end of the week before.

  1. Take Responsibility for Your Success

Change your mindset so that you are in control of your success. Instead of blaming others when things go wrong, take some time to be introspective and think about what you could have done differently. When you take responsibility for your own success, it’s no longer dependent on others.

It’s your life and you are in control. There is a sense of empowerment that comes from recognizing that we are responsible for both our successes and failures, and we can change the outcome of the challenges we are faced with.

To develop a success-oriented mindset, take yourself out of your comfort zone regularly, never stop learning, set smaller and more achievable goals, surround yourself with like-minded people, create a success-oriented routine, and take responsibility for your success. It can take time, but when you practice an intentional mindset in challenging situations and continue to learn new skills, you will become more resilient and ready to achieve even higher goals.

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
