I’ll be the first to admit: I’m so eager to grow my business that whenever opportunity presents itself, I want to do it all by myself.
The first thing I do is put myself at the front of the line to get everything over the finish line. I have got to do it all, and I have got to do it tomorrow.
But here’s the thing: when we’re building success — especially sacred success — we can and should take all the time we need.
Take your time with it and make it yours. Because you’ll never do the same thing as someone else. It’s not going anywhere. There’s no rush. Any time we start to do something successful, our mindsets are all going to be challenged.
So how can we emerge in a way that is authentic and natural so that it’s a creative process and not a goal-based process? So that it is powered with Universal Flow rather than hard will and force?
When I follow my intuition and inner resonance, I feel so much more creative and connected with an audience, with my team, with my journey toward success. Which is why these mindsets are by no means a “formula” for you to follow but ways in which you can find yourself…and follow the truth of who you are.
Mindsets for Success
1. Understanding Beliefs and Experiences Are Intertwined
Our experiences are both caused by our beliefs and informed by them.
When something unwanted happens, we are so quick to try to pick apart our beliefs to find out which of them is the limiting belief that caused this discomfort.
Yet, we also need to remember that we create our experiences and our experiences reinforce our beliefs. When we change our beliefs, our experiences change.
And sometimes we need to take a leap of faith with a choice or action that is unfamiliar – to change the experience so we can create new beliefs.
Mindset Statement for Success
Instead of thinking, I’ll believe it when I see it, try to shake things up with the mindset of:
“When I believe it, I will see it.”
2. Acknowledging and Recognizing Positive Beliefs
Because we’re so quick to pick apart our negative beliefs, it’s almost too easy to overlook our positive mindsets.
But if we’re always focusing on what’s wrong, we’ll naturally end up focusing our attention on this negativity. And what happens when we pay attention to what we don’t want? We invite more of it into our lives.
Make a list of all the things that are going right in your life. Wins, things you wouldn’t change.
Say to yourself: “I created those things.”
These things came from your mindsets, beliefs, and patterns in your brain that are working for you. We take them for granted because they’re positive, but it’s important to recognize them.
Mindset Statements for Success
“I create the positive things in my life.”
“I’m looking forward to more; more of this, please!”
3. Connecting With Others
This is one mindset I struggle with regularly. “I have to do everything by myself,” is one of my biggest limiting beliefs.
I know what my business needs. And let’s face it, I can get things done faster and more efficiently when I’m doing them myself. Who else knows my business better than I do?
But the thing is, none of my successes happened without the support of others. And the times in which I did try to do things all alone? It only led to burnout and isolation.
Success on your own, by yourself, with you at the center of your efforts, is not sustainable.
Sometimes you feel as though you’re the only one who can do these things, but that’s not true.
And it’s not a mindset for success!
You don’t have to do it alone. You’re never working in isolation (even if you’re still just a team of one). The more you say, “I gotta do this,” the more unpleasant it is, and the more you burn out.
You can go further and faster when you’re connecting and sharing, when you invite others to your journey toward success.
Reach out to people in your network – keep them close and informed, even when things get tough.
You can move through challenges so much faster through the reflections of your support circle.
There are more people wanting you to succeed than you realize.
Mindset Statements for Success
“I will be supported in achieving my dreams. My success is supported and celebrated by the people around me. ”
“The universe brings me powerful and supportive people who amplify my vision and help me to make my dreams manifest.”
4. Trusting in Your Own Version of Success
Success doesn’t look the same for everyone, and there are no “right” or “wrong” ways to create your own version of success.
To find what’s right for you, look for resonance, and follow what feels right. When something resounds within you, things are easy and obvious. We can recognize ourselves in these situations. We intuit when something is meant for us.
And when something isn’t a fit? Your body will tell you.
It seems easy to follow a formula for success, but very rarely do these formulas work for everybody. I don’t yearn for Oprah’s path. I admire her and she inspires me to reach for the stars. But I am not drawn to emulate her path – I feel exhausted just thinking about it!
What does success look and feel like to you? How do you want to be successful, what do you want to feel, what will you be doing every day? How do you want to live your life as a successful woman?
Mindset Statements for Success
“My success comes with ease and flow.”
“I create success on my own terms, in a way that supports my well-being.”
“Success is energizing, supports my growth, and allows me to be authentic in my power.”
5. Accepting Failure
Failure is part of the journey to success.
Having the courage to fail is freaking hard. Not knowing is hard. Being uncomfortable is hard. So is taking risks and being vulnerable.
But there is comfort in discomfort because getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is part of the process. When something feels uncomfortable, you can draw upon your self-trust and resonance to figure out if it’s the right type of discomfort.
In order to take it to the next level, we have to do something we haven’t done before. Whatever your goals (or wherever you are in your journey), we must make peace with being uncomfortable and not knowing.
And we need to fail, and fail often. Because surviving failure, and getting back into the game with a deeper knowledge of ourselves brings us closer to success.
The people we admire the most, the most inspiring humans on the planet, have faced some kind of harsh adversity on their success journey. And because we Emerging Women are playing BIG, we need to be ready to have the same experience.
We got this.
Mindset Statements for Success
“I grow stronger and wiser from adversity. I welcome the transformation that challenge brings.”
“I trust in myself and my connection to spirit. When I can’t see the road forward I surrender my will and lead with intent and faith.”
“My superpower is being comfortable with not knowing.”
6. Believing You Have Everything You Need
You have everything you need for success. You have everything you need to be successful.
You don’t need to be someone else or fix yourself.
In fact, allowing your true self to step forward is better than creating something (or someone) new. Seeing ourselves in our true light is essential for success.
Mindset Statements for Success
“I am enough. Hell, I am more than enough.”
“I have what it takes to live the life of my dreams. It is my destiny to grow into this vision for myself.”
7. Timing Your Success
Your success is yours alone. And it will come in its own time. And you will have many successes in your lifetime.
Don’t compare yourself to anyone else.
Where it may take others one year to reach a milestone, it may take you several to reach a similar one.
It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed.
Draw on your resonance and self-trust and give yourself the time and space you need to make it happen.
If it feels especially hard, or rushed, this creative endeavor may belong to someone else.
Trust that what you want to bring about in the world is unique because it’s coming through the filter of you.
There is only one you. When you bring something to life, when you bring something forward and offer it to the world, it has never been offered before because YOU are the channel.
Trust in that and don’t compare yourself to others.
Mindset Statements for Success
“My success story is just beginning. I trust that the best of me is emerging in perfect timing.”
“I have something unique and powerful to offer. My wisdom comes to me easily and flows like a river through me.”
