Our friend Hayden Rolfe shared his presentation “The Mindset of a 6 Figure Business Owner” with us a little while ago and today there are a few ideas from it we’d like to highlight because they coincide with a lot of the things we’ve been saying here on the blog. 

You may recall that we often talk about how motivation is fleeting and that it is discipline which leads to results. Hayden says something similar, noting the importance of focusing on process and the actions you need to take, rather than being preoccupied with your results. Being too focused on results is a great way to become discouraged if you feel like you aren’t meeting your goals quickly enough. This leads directly into another nugget of wisdom from Hayden: learning to manage your expectations is key. It’s great to dream big, but expecting too much too soon is another good way to find yourself veering off course and getting away from the process if you start having feelings of failure creep in. 

How can you recognize if you’re starting to lose focus on what’s important? Hayden’s answer here can be summed up in two words: Reflect and Redirect. Drifting off course is inevitable so it’s important to check in on a regular basis and ask yourself the tough questions to make sure you don’t stray too far from the processes you’ve put in place. Are you maintaining the right attitude, are you putting in the work? If you’re being honest with yourself you might not like the answers but it’s one of the best ways to make sure you stay disciplined even if your motivation levels dip temporarily. 

One of the other ways Hayden notes you can set yourself up for success is through routine. Starting off your day on the right foot consistently is a habit that will help create a positive environment for yourself and give you a solid base to work from.
