Entrepreneurs battle every day with a mindset full of self-doubt, fear, and intimidation. You can use the following outline to boost their confidence and help them achieve greatness in their niche as a formidable leader.
Main eBook Title: Achieving Success By Tweaking Your Mindset
Chapter 1: Mindset Is the Ultimate Factor in Your Success – It’s the universal difference when comparing failures to successful people. Two people could pursue the same business strategy and one may succeed due to the way he or she thinks. – It’s on 24/7 – even when you sleep and your subconscious mind seeps in to rob you of your confidence and plant seeds of doubt for the coming day. – It costs nothing to change, but you have to be willing to do the work to improve the way you think.
Chapter 2: What Are Your Current Strengths? – Brainstorm a list of things you do better than some others. – It could be things like time management – you are good about sticking to a schedule, or technical tasks or networking. – Start by making a list of things entrepreneurs need to be good at to succeed – things like branding, social networking, product creation, etc. Get as specific as possible to give yourself plenty of room to find things you’re good at – and don’t neglect the mindset things as well as the heart – your compassion for helping others, for example.
Chapter 3: What Weaknesses Are Preventing Your Ultimate Success? – Be honest here. You can’t improve if you’re not willing to say, “Yes, I get distracted by the TV and time gets away from me.” – Include mindset obstacles such as unsupportive spouses, past failures, fear of failure, etc. – How have you cultivated a failure mindset? Do you reinforce it each and every day with negative self-talk?
Chapter 4: Set Yourself Up with Healthy Mindset Habits – Learn how to start your day with positive affirmations. In addition to having them say, develop a routine for how, when and where you say them so that they’re meaningful. – Spend time with your feelings to pinpoint the true cause. Whenever doubt and anxiety creep in, take a few moments to sit down and hone in on what’s causing it and how you can be proactive to work on remedying it. – Reinforce your new attitude with learning. Read positive, motivational, and inspiring books, or watch YouTube videos that lift you up and empower you.
Chapter 5: Focus on the Present – Don’t harp on the past. Whenever you catch yourself looking back on failures, stop and remind yourself that’s in the past. What you do now is what matters. – Likewise, don’t let yourself get into a pattern of “what ifs” if they’re shaped negatively. “What if I fail” should be turned into “What if this is a HUGE success?” – Think of one thing you can do each day to make yourself proud of your accomplishments. Don’t overload yourself or you’ll see it as a failure.
Chapter 6: Be Clear About Your Goals – Vague, broad goals don’t do you any favors. Saying, “I want to make more money” could mean you earn an extra $0.50 that day. Be specific. – Set your goals higher than you think you can achieve. You’ll be surprised at how much more you can accomplish when you position yourself for greatness. – For every goal, you set, create an action plan of tasks you can complete to get closer to achieving that goal.
Chapter 7: Promise Yourself That You’ll Be Your Best Self Every Day – Showing up to work as an entrepreneur half-heartedly will keep you from achieving success. – Forget about multi-tasking. When you’re immersed in a task, give it your full focus 110%. – If you notice your heart isn’t in something, either outsource it or table it while you take time to rejuvenate yourself.
Chapter 8: Value Your Time – Successful entrepreneurs aren’t “yes men.” They value their time and don’t run errands for friends just because they “work from home.” You have to carve out time for your business success and take it seriously. – If you put a product or service on the market, don’t price it according to what someone else is charging. Undercutting fees is a horrible way to manage your business. Instead, charge what you are worth – what you want to be worth. – Dedicate enough time to actively grow your business. You can’t spend 30 minutes a day on growth and 7 and a half hour flitting around the Internet looking at YouTube or Facebook.
Chapter 9: Show Up to Serve – The most successful entrepreneurs are those who root their business in service. That doesn’t mean service providers – it means serving their audience. – When you’re helping others and changing lives, you feel good about what you’re doing – it heightens your own enthusiasm. – Seek out ways that you can help people and develop a reputation for going above and beyond in your niche.
Chapter 10: Be Grateful Each and Every Day – People who whine, moan, and complain about what they feel they’re entitled to never make it with their own business. – Be grateful for the opportunities you have and the knowledge you’re gaining to launch your own business. – Practice focusing on gratitude each day – possibly ending each day by writing in your gratitude journal. It helps you manifest a positive, driven mindset.
Tips: A leader serves people, and you must know what qualities go into being a good leader so you can be one. This information will help you figure out what it takes to become a great leader. You’ll definitely pick a few things up.

Chapter 1: You Are What You Eat – for Entrepreneurs (The old saying, “you are what you eat” can be transferred into the entrepreneurial world as, “you are who you hang around.” If you’re associated with failures who are negative and complain, it will affect you.

7-Part Email Autoresponder Series: 7 Ways to Make Sure You Never Succeed
Email #1: Focus on What People Don’t Do for You (we often get mired down in what someone else should have done instead of focusing on what we can do for ourselves)
Email #2: Repeatedly Put Yourself Down (negative self-talk is very detrimental to your business and speaking bad about how stupid you are – for example – becomes your new truth)
Email #3: Fly By the Seat of Your Pants (there’s a saying that those who don’t plan, plan to fail. Without planning your business out, you’ll be all over the map and delaying your success)
Email #4: Hold Off on Learning Something New (even while you’re implementing something you’ve already learned, you should always be educating yourself about other things)
Email #5: Stay Scared (in order to succeed as an entrepreneur, you’re going to have to get out of your comfort zone. You have to do it afraid, but don’t worry – your courage will come later).
Email #6: Compare Yourself to Others (spying on the competition is not the same as comparing yourself to them. Who cares what they did bigger or different – you need to put blinders on while you create something you’re proud of for your target audience)
