Being an entrepreneur is one of the most powerful “personal development” courses on the planet. In order to achieve higher levels of success, a business owner must learn to think differently and take action on important goals, despite feeling uncomfortable.
A turning point in my own business was recognizing the power of my decisions.This quote by W.H. Murray became my inspiration:
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.”
Over the last 23 years I’ve studied how high 6, 7 and 8 figure entrepreneurs think – and how micro-adjustments in one’s attitude around money and resources allows them to use strategies that sustain success for the long term.
On Amplify Your Success episode 359, I’m revealing three critical skills that many of my peers have developed that allow them to reach higher levels of success – and sustain it.. Combined with my experience coaching experts in the 100k Authority Accelerator program, discover how decisiveness, resourcefulness, and momentum could be your best skills to use this year.
