Habits, Mindsets, and Games shared by UNProfitable Business Owners:
- PROCRASTINATION: I’ve long said that the ONLY two things you need to succeed in business are a finely tuned, passionate commitment to sales and…. an ALARM CLOCK. An alarm clock (for me) represents waking up early AND a sense of urgency. Why wait? What are you putting off that should be done today? Successful entrepreneurs have a sense of urgency that can be summed up in one word: NOW.
- A MINDSET, LIFESTYLE, and LANGUAGE OF FEAR and LACK: Far short of the boldness, audacity and confidence required for success, UNprofitable business owners use their mental faculties to imagine worst case scenarios and dwindling resources. Successful entrepreneurs are bold, confident and think in terms of abundance!
- THE WAITING GAME… or ACTION STEPS THAT BEGIN WITH THE WORDS, “WAITING FOR”.. I’ll never forget the first time I ran into this type of small business owner. Coaching her felt like pulling teeth… because she was always WAITING for something to happen. (It didn’t help that her industry was one I was unfamiliar with… and have NEVER TOUCHED again… in over 3 years since meeting her! ) I would say, “What does WAITING for x to happen look like? What is that action step?” The MOST successful entrepreneurs have many, many things in common. WAITING is not one of them.

Hi Michelle! Loved the title of the post and the empty pockets photo… It’s so much about the fear isn’t it? Fear in all it’s forms of beliefs that loop over and over in our minds, what I call “The Big Lie” that vary for all of us, but tend to boil down to some form of “not good enough”. It’s amazing how powerfully we respond to those old beliefs in spite of how badly we want something else.
So a good coach, mentor, therapist, or even a friend, and learning to recognize what is our Divine Identity and our truth vs. what our version of “The Big Lies” are can be so powerful.
Hope all your travels are unfolding beautifully today and all week- you inspire us all.
Sending love and every blessing-

sometimes we all need a KICK in the pants
Michelle,
This is a great post. It is exactly what I needed this morning!
I love reading your posts and tweets!

Hi Michelle, would you please put Eve Turek on your email list – yellowhousegallery@yahoo.com. Keep up the great work…..Ron
Michelle – I am very grateful to Ron Chamberlayne for alerting me to your website, blog, and all the resources you offer. I hope to attend one of your regional workshops soon! Thanks for all the heart you so obviously put into everything you do, and your mindset for abundance.
This is absolutely true! I’ve spent to many months being a waiting kind of entrepreneur and there’s no success to be had in that world.
But after going to see Michelle speak here in Dallas and facing a couple big fears, I do nothing but take action every single day.
Michelle is a hero to all of us! Let nothing stand in your way. Nothing!
