When was the last time you did a personal upgrade?

I’ve been busy recording my AMOUR Business Start Up Boot Camp and the first module is all about Mindset for Success and the transition from Employee to Business Owner and it’s really got me thinking about the mindset shift that happens.

I have a small tree that sits on my windowsill and when I first bought it, it was tiny but now it’s growing into a healthy sized small tree. Looking at that tree got me thinking. I’ve ‘upgraded’ the pot that tree lives in probably 4 times since I’ve had it, I water it regularly and make sure it gets sunlight to grow. I provide the tree with all of the ingredients to grow and transform. If I hadn’t ‘upgraded’ the pot and left it in the original small pot I purchased it in, the tree would still be alive and healthy but it would be stunted at that size as in that sized pot there’s only so much room for the roots to grow and then in turn the tree.

How many people do you know that are amazing but are still stuck in that small pot? You might be one of them and you’re now looking for a way to ‘upgrade’.

Changing your mindset from an employee (no matter what happens I will definitely be paid and I’ll do my best but it’s not my company) to a business owner (If I don’t look after my Clients and I don’t work I won’t get paid) takes a huge mindset upgrade!

And then if you want your business to be successful you need to be the person that is a successful business owner with a strong team behind you but it all starts at the top….with you the business owner.

With that in mind, what do you do on a regular basis to upgrade?

• Do you read (or listen to) inspiring books every day that motivate you to look at yourself and your life in a new way? Or push you out of your comfort zone to grow a little every day?
• When was the last training event you attended or undertook? Do you only attend business/industry events or do you also attend events that will help you to grow as a person?

Tony Robbins states ‘I can show you the secret to happiness in one word….PROGRESS’

I challenge you for the next 30 days to take a small action every day to push past your comfort zone to grow as a person, business owner and to grow your business. If you do one thing each day and track it and then compare where you are in 30 days to where you are now I think you’ll have a nice surprise! Imagine where you would be if you carried it on for the next 12 months?!
