5 Ways to Improve Your Mindset (and the Surprising Ways a Brand Blueprint Can Help)
Mindset is everything in business.
If you’re wondering why mindset is so important, I recommend popping over to this post and getting caught up before we move forward with the solutions to a mindset problem!
And if you’re on board with understanding just how much your mindset matters to your overall success as an entrepreneur and business owner, let’s get to the good stuff – how you can improve your mindset when it’s lacking and a few small daily habits you can implement to keep it strong and positive despite the challenges life and business throw your way.
5 things you can do to improve your mindset
If you want to turn a negative, fixed mindset around and start enjoying the benefits of a positive, growth-focused mindset, there are several strategies you can try.
#1: Stop comparing yourself to others
Comparison is the thief of joy… and the number one way to wreck your mindset.
I always think of this verse from Romans 12:6 –
“Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t.”
#2: Choose to see every mistake or error as a chance to learn and grow
You can’t be perfect. There’s no quicker way to sink your mindset than to demand or expect perfection from yourself or anyone else.
Instead, look at every mistake you make as a chance to learn and grow. It’s not a negative or a failure, it’s an opportunity to get even better.
#3: Seek out a mentor
You don’t know what you don’t know. Choosing to learn from someone who understands your work and has blazed a path ahead of you is one of the most powerful ways to reinforce your mindset work and stay on the right track.
#4: Build a strong community
Who you surround yourself with matters.
Find supportive, like-minded business owners and entrepreneurs who believe in what you’re working toward, build you up, and cheer you on.
#5: Build an intentional, authentic brand
You may be surprised to find that your brand can have a huge impact on your mindset, but it’s true!
We’ll look at what a Brand Blueprint is and how it can help you improve and strengthen your mindset.
A Brand Blueprint gives you clarity and purpose
It’s hard to maintain a positive mindset when you’re constantly throwing spaghetti (aka offers, pricing, ideal client, brand voice, etc) at the wall and hoping something sticks.
Many business owners feel like once they’ve built a brand or launched a business, they can’t go back to the foundations of their brand. This can lead to a lot of (unhelpful) small changes that leave you feeling like no matter what you try… nothing really works.
A Brand Blueprint is all about getting back to basics.
We take a full 360-degree look at your business and brand and get super clear on what you like, what’s working, and what needs to change.
If you’re showing up every day trying to market a brand that doesn’t feel authentic or grounded in who you are and what you care about – your mindset will take a hit. You will feel like a failure.
So we peel all the layers back to the core of your brand and realign your entire business to reflect YOU.
The best part of a Brand Blueprint= is in the name! It gives you direction. It shows you how to take everything we discover together and put it into action: in your marketing, sales, offer creation, target audience, and more.
A Brand Blueprint helps you build a positive mindset because you like the business you’re building or scaling. It feels like the best version of you and is grounded in your core values.
This game-changing tool gives you your business back… and it’s one of the best ways to jumpstart a mindset shift that will carry you through to long-term success!
Daily habits that maintain your mindset
A Brand Blueprint is an all-encompassing, comprehensive step you can take to realign your business with your values, priorities, and personality.
But there are also a number of small things you can do to reinforce and maintain your positive mindset once you’ve built it up.
Some of my favorite daily mindset habits include:
Taking time to spend alone in quiet reflection before the chaos of the day starts
Reading scripture, following a devotional, or reading inspirational messages
Getting morning sun
Making time to move your body for at least 45 minutes each day
Writing down your goals
Journaling
Keeping a gratitude list
Celebrating wins (big and small!)
Spending time with people who make you feel loved and appreciated
Being in nature
Doing non-lucrative hobbies that make you happy
Which of these small, powerful daily habits will you add to your life?
