I ran out of time last week though to go through some of the most important aspects of the show that I wanted to, so today we’re doing a follow up. We’re going to dive deeper into how you can achieve your own victories and I’m going to give you a simple 5 step process to get everything you want!

This is a follow up to Episode 14: Independence Day 2023, which you can view by clicking here.

Here is a Simple 5 step process to get everything you want!

Step 1: Define your goals clearly and specifically.

Identify what you want to achieve and why it matters to you.

Defining your goals clearly and specifically is the first step towards achieving success. When you have a clear understanding of your goals, you are better able to focus your energy and resources towards achieving them. You can also measure your progress and make adjustments as needed to stay on track. It is important to take the time to think about what you truly want and why it is important to you. This will help you stay motivated and committed to your goals, even when challenges arise. So, take the time to define your goals clearly and specifically, and start working towards achieving them today.

Step 2: Develop a plan of action.

Break your goals down into smaller, manageable steps and create a timeline for completion.

Developing a plan of action is the next crucial step towards achieving your goals. To make it more effective, it’s important to break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps. This helps to avoid feeling overwhelmed and makes it easier to track progress. Once you have identified the steps, create a timeline for completion. This will provide a clear roadmap towards achieving your goals and will help you to stay on track. Remember to review and adjust your plan as needed to ensure that you are making progress towards your goals.

Step 3: Stay focused and committed.

Keep your goals in mind, and stay motivated by reminding yourself of why they matter to you.

Staying focused and committed is non negotiable if you want to achieve your goals. One effective way to do this is by keeping your goals in mind, and constantly remind yourself of why they matter to you. When you feel unmotivated or distracted, take a moment to reflect on the bigger picture and how your goals fit into it. This can help you regain your focus and stay on track. Additionally, it’s important to be patient and persistent in pursuing your goals, even when faced with obstacles or setbacks, which, if you are doing things right, you will face along the way. By staying committed and dedicated, you can overcome challenges and achieve the success you desire.

Step 4: Learn from your mistakes.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and use them as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Learning from mistakes is a another crucial part of personal and professional growth which cannot be overlooked or ignored if you want to achieve victory. By analyzing what went wrong and identifying ways to avoid making the same mistake in the future, we can develop new skills and knowledge that help us become more successful. It’s also important to remember that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process and everyone makes them. Embracing the learning opportunities that mistakes provide can ultimately lead to greater success in all areas of life, so instead of fearing mistakes, try to view them as opportunities for improvement.

Step 5: Celebrate your victories.

Take time to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may be.

Celebrating can take many forms, such as treating yourself to something you enjoy, sharing your success with friends and family, or simply taking a moment to reflect on your progress. By celebrating your victories, you create a positive environment that encourages further growth and success.

I like to think that celebrating your victories is an important step in keeping your head in the game, and more than any of the other 4 on this list, keeping your mind right along the journey is hands down the most important thing to do if you want to achieve victory.

The American Colonists proved how vital that was then, and it is just as vital now. By taking the time to acknowledge and appreciate your achievements, you reinforce your motivation to continue moving forward. Even small successes can be cause for celebration, because they demonstrate progress and build confidence.

In my Facebook group, you can look it up and join if you like under groups and then Working At Home, for example. Every Monday we do a Money Day Mondays Challenge to help our group get motivated for the week ahead of them. My thing is that you should strive to make money right out of the gate for the week because it sets up the rest of your week for success. If you are striving to make money on the first day of the week, all of that work output that you put into that task until you achieve it, even if some or most of it results in no sale that day, it is still out there creating energy that will flow back to you maybe the next day or the next week.

The point is to keep your head in the game by making it a game to see what you can do, all while simultaneously putting out more work output that will come back to you down the line. Then celebrate those little victories. Get loud. Shout it out and spread the word of what you can do and show others that it can be done. Inspire them to achieve their own victories by witnessing yours and knowing that it is achievable.

The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0014

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset.

It’s the 4th of July, so on today’s show, we’re talking about none other than the American Revolutionary War mindset of victory. From the early thoughts of independence to the final battle that cemented the new nation, this is a story of perseverance and determination. So let’s get into it.

A Shared Mindset Toward Victory

The mindset of a people can be the deciding factor in overcoming oppressive governments. This was especially true during the American Revolutionary War, where a common mindset was crucial for victory. The colonists up and down the chain, from the farmer in the field, to the district leaders they charged with their wellbeing, everyone had to be united in their belief that they deserved independence and were willing to fight for it. Without this shared mindset, the revolutionaries would have been unable to rally together and fight against the powerful British army. It was this collective mindset that enabled the colonists to persevere through challenges and ultimately secure their independence. The American Revolutionary War serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of a shared mindset in achieving a common goal, especially when facing daunting challenges.

The American Revolutionary War about so much more than a mere military conflict It was about this shared belief, this shared mindset that together victory was possible. With this shared mindset of victory, our forefathers and mothers would be able to stand up against oppression, against overwhelming odds, and actually stood a chance to achieve the victory they were fighting for; what they believed in their hearts was possible. It was a mindset that the American colonists held tightly, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

A Mindset of Steadfast Belief

From the early thoughts of independence to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the colonists’ mindset of victory never wavered. They knew what they were fighting for: freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And they were willing to fight to the death for it. Ask yourself if you have ever held such conviction for something you wanted.

Have you ever been so set to a task’s accomplishment that you would risk it all to achieve it?

Sometimes, when the stakes are high, your mindset needs to be so dialed in and unwavering like that in order to accomplish the goal and achieve the victory you seek; even in the midst of unprecedented opposition. If the leaders of the American Revolution had failed to maintain this shared mindset of victory during this extremely hard-fought conflict, doubt would have seeped in. Loyalties would have waned. Descent would have run rampant until the entire thing fell apart. As it was, throughout most of the war, the Revolutionaries lost more battles than they won. It was only through their mindset and shared belief in their faith that it was worthwhile to achieve that they remained steadfast until the tide changed in their favor.

Success is No Accident

Whatever you want in life, you can get it with the right mindset, training, and direction.

The Revolutionary War was not won overnight. Think about that for a moment if you will as it relates to what must have been going through their minds at the time. This was a long and grueling conflict. It was a conflict that lasted for eight years in fact. The colonists faced numerous challenges, from a lack of resources and supplies to a powerful British army. But they persevered, and they never gave up hope; always believing that victory was possible.

Many historians will tell you that they got lucky. Many will tell you that they shouldn’t have won and that it was only because of a series of mistakes and of underestimating them by the British Army Commanders in charge that they didn’t lose the war and get hanged as traitors to the Crown. Many Historians will tell you that, but as a history fanatic and student, I don’t agree with those Historians at all.

Luck is a Matter of Mindset

I believe that we make our own luck in this world through hard work, and dedication to the task. So for that reason, in my estimation it is solely because of this dedication to their shared belief, this shared mindset of victory, that the Revolutionaries were able to keep going, to keep pushing forward, to keep getting back up after their friends, brothers, sisters, and yes even their children were killed time and time again in front of them. It was because of this shared mindset of victory that they were able to wear down the British forces, capture the hearts of the French who agreed to help them in the fight at such a crucial point of spiritual need, and fight on to the victory they knew in their hearts was worth fighting and laying down their lives for.

This shared mindset of victory, for the reasons that I have discussed here today, was so strong, and so overwhelmingly ingrained into the hearts of all at the time, that the achievement of that mindset of victory still lies in the hearts and at the core of every American still to this day. We grow up with this belief, and we are raised to believe that we can do anything when we band together as a people; and when we put our undying faith into our convictions. The American Revolutionary War mindset of victory is still celebrated today as a symbol of American patriotism and resilience every year on the 4th of July, which serves as a reminder to each of us each year that with this hard work, determination, and an unwavering belief in ourselves and each other, anything is possible. God Bless America.

The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0013

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives.

If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today!

On today’s show, we will be discussing the importance of overcoming fear in our mindset. Fear can be a powerful emotion that can hold us back from achieving our goals. In fact, studies have shown that fear can actually cost us in business.

The Miller Mindset: Episode 13

Fear Mindset

Let’s talk for a moment, about the fear of failure. Many people are so afraid of failing that they never even try to start their own business. This fear can be paralyzing and prevent people from pursuing their dreams.

For example, the Small Business Administration conducted a study a few years back and found that 50% of small businesses fail within the first five years. Furthermore, this study sought to understand the reasons behind such a high rate of failure, and do you know what they found to be the number one culprit? It was that the owners were, in most cases, too afraid to take risks and try new things. They played it safe, and as a result they played it safe right to last place.

Playing It Safe Will Not Get You There

Folks, remember something when your out there working for your future and you think to yourself, “I should just play it safe here.” History doesn’t remember those who played it safe. History remembers those who went for it. Those who ran into the flames while others were fleeing for their lives. Those who took on the challenge that everyone said couldn’t be done. People told Henry Ford he couldn’t mass produce an automobile and make it affordable for the everyday American family as well. But then he did it.

People told Steve Jobs he couldn’t make a computer be elegant and easy for the everyday college or high school kid to use. But then he did it. Again, they told jobs you can’t put an entire computer into a phone in someone’s pocket. But then he did that too.

Julius Caesar was a mere Army General, ordered to stop and sentenced to death by the Roman Senate. Had he obeyed those orders, or allowed himself to be killed, no one today would even know his name. But didn’t did he. In fact he led his Army across the Rubicon and took Rome for his own, replaced the Senate which had condemned him to death, and became the owner of the very name which is today, synonymous with our word for King.

History remembers those who took the risks. It doesn’t have room for those who play it safe. Remember that, and wrap your mind around it. Go out there and get what you want, and never hold back.

Mindset of Fearing Rejection

Another example of how fears cost someone in their business and in their careers. I’m talking about the fear of rejection. This fear can prevent people from reaching out to potential clients or partners. They may be afraid of being told no or being seen as a nuisance. However, this fear can cost them valuable opportunities.

For instance, a salesperson who is too afraid to make cold calls may miss out on potential clients who could have helped their business grow. Have you ever skipped a house, or a business just because there was a sign by the door that read “No Solicitors”. Many have, and I can tell you it was a mistake. Let me tell you something. Those signs don’t just come with the property when they buy the place you know.

This is a product they had to take their time to go out and purchase, or have printed up, and then post it on their door. Why do you think they do this? In my experience as a door-to-door salesman for more than 30 years, and top salesperson in my State, and Region for several major National and Global Companies, I am uniquely qualified to explain this to you.

The reason that the majority of them do it is because they are tired of buying things from people who come to their door. And why are they tired of it? Because they know that they have a difficult time saying no and turning the shiny little bobble in front of them away. 18 times out of 20, you’re going to meet with little to no resistance in these situations, and your sale will be all but guaranteed because you did not allow something as trivial as a sign get in your way.

Be Bold, and Speak Out

Overcoming fear can pay off big for you in business. Overcoming your fears about speaking in public is a terrific example of this. Many people have a fear of speaking in front of others, but those who overcome this fear can see great rewards in their career.

For example, a CEO who is able to confidently give presentations may be able to land more clients or secure greater investments for their company. A nobody, fresh out of college amasses millions of followers and becomes an overnight influencer because they decided to get on stage and talk about their passion.

With risk comes the equal potential for both failure, and reward. Roll the dice. Take the risk. The worst that can happen is that you mess it up and leave no better off that you were at that moment. The other side of that coin however, leads to notoriety, fame, and fortune.

Caution is Prudent, but Don’t let it be Crippling

Don’t misunderstand me here however. Caution and calculation is still important. If someone asked me to jump off a bridge as an example, I would not likely entertain that idea. But while it’s important to be cautious, those who are too afraid to take risks may miss out on valuable opportunities.

For instance, a business owner who is too afraid to invest in new technology may fall behind their competitors who are more willing to take risks and innovate. There was a sign posted on the exit door in a shop I worked in a long time ago. I saw it every time I left that office, and I really liked the message it sent me out with. The Sign read,

“Take good care of your customers today or someone else will be taking good care of them tomorrow.”

Think about that for a moment and let that sink in.

Conclusion

Well, that’s our show for today folks. I hope you enjoyed and and perhaps learned a little something that you found to be of value to you today. Remember, fear can be a powerful emotion that can hold us back in business. However, by overcoming our fears, we can see great rewards and achieve our goals. As Nelson Mandela once said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” Thank you for tuning in to our podcast today.

The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0012

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today! On today’s show, we will be discussing the importance of having an Adaptability element in your mindset for growing long-term business growth, and I’ll share with you, one little known trick that can help you stay on top of the competition as you continue to grow your business. So let’s get into it.

In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, adaptability is a crucial element that separates successful businesses from those that fail. By having an adaptable mindset, you can navigate through unexpected challenges and capitalize on new opportunities. It means being able to adjust to new situations and challenges quickly and effectively.

Adaptability Mindset In Action ( Example #1)

For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses were forced to quickly adapt to the new reality of remote work and social distancing. Companies that were able to pivot their operations and adapt to the new landscape were able to not only survive but thrive during the pandemic. One such example is Zoom, which quickly became the go-to video conferencing platform for remote work and virtual events.

Adaptability Mindset In Action ( Example #2)

Another real-world example of the importance of having an adaptable mindset is the rise of the gig economy. With the rise of platforms like Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb, traditional employment models are being disrupted, and individuals must be able to adapt to new ways of working. Those who have an adaptable mindset can take advantage of the opportunities offered by the gig economy, earning income on their own terms, and creating their own work/life balance. In contrast, those who are resistant to change or unable to adapt may struggle to find employment in the new economy. In conclusion, having an adaptable mindset is crucial for success in today’s world, and examples such as Zoom and the gig economy illustrate the importance of this trait in navigating through unexpected challenges and capitalizing on new opportunities.

Now. At the start of this, I told you I was going to give you one little trick that is often overlooked, which can help you stay on top of your competition. So here it is.

A little-known trick to staying on top of the competition is to constantly seek feedback from your customers and employees. This feedback can provide valuable insights into areas where your business can improve and help you stay ahead of the curve. It can also help you identify new trends and emerging markets early on, giving you an advantage over your competitors.

The simplest way to get feedback from your customers is simply to just ask them for it after they purchase something from you. You can do this real easy just by sending an e-mail that says thanks for your purchase. Tell us how we did. Also you can send requests for reviews or just ask them how well they liked the product that they purchased the next time that they call.

Conclusion

Well, that’s our show for today folks. I hope you enjoyed and and perhaps learned a little something that you found to be of value to you today. Remember, a business that is not adaptable is a business that is not sustainable. By embracing adaptability, you can ensure long-term growth and success for your business. So, take the time to evaluate your mindset and make the necessary changes to become a more adaptable business owner. Thank you for tuning in to our podcast today.

The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0011

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today! On today’s show, we will be discussing how developing a mindset of perseverance in business can help you get to the top of the mountain. So let’s get into it.

As an entrepreneur or business owner, it’s important to have a strong sense of perseverance. Perseverance is your ability to keep going, even when things get tough, and if you are a business owner, I guarantee you this. At one point or another, things will get tough. Because of this, a mindset of perseverance is crucial for the success of your business, and yourself, during these moments of challenges and setbacks.

So, how do you develop a mindset of perseverance?

One way is to focus on your goals and create a plan to achieve them. Break down your goals into smaller, more manageable steps and celebrate each accomplishment along the way. This will help you stay motivated and focused on your end goal because it will always remain in focus, and it will seem more manageable with each task completion.

Another important aspect of perseverance is having a positive attitude.

Embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than as roadblocks. Surround yourself with supportive people who will encourage you and help you stay motivated. Its more about restructuring your approach to how you look at things. For example, if their is something I want to buy, but I don’t have the cash on hand, I don’t even look at it in terms of cost. I look at it in terms of sales needed. That car for example costs $47K. If I look at it as an expense of $47K, that seems like a big purchase and maybe I don’t want to spend that much on a car. On the other hand, the reality is that I can buy the car for the cost of just 5 sales, which I know I can do in about a month. Now that car is not so expensive to me and I might be more inclined to buy it. By having a mindset of perseverance in place, I found another way to look at the problem and find a solution I was happy to live with. That same concept is the concept you need to approach when dealing with your clients as well. Help them find a way to look at it that they are happy to live with.

Now, let’s talk about a simple trick to becoming more authoritative in sales negotiations.

There are many strategies people use in negotiation, but one effective strategy is to use the concept of “anchoring.” Anchoring is a psychological technique where you establish a starting point for the negotiation by throwing out a number or value that is higher or lower than what you actually expect to receive. This creates a reference point for the negotiation and can help you control the direction of the conversation. Sometimes you will get your price without question and you make more money. Other times, you can negotiate a deal which makes the client feel as though they have won in some manner. In either case, you ensure that you get the price you want and then add up a cushion by which to negotiate on.

For example: Many years ago, I built a business as a Hypnotherapist with the goal to work with returning war veterans that had been injured and wanted a drug free solution to dealing with pain management. I got so much out of that work at the time, but first I had to meet the requirements for working with the Department of Veterans Affairs which required that my business be in operation for a minimum of a year before I could be awarded the contract. That meant I would need to see regular clients before I could fulfill my company’s purpose.

I looked first to see what my competitors were doing and what they were charging. There were at least 10 direct competitors within a 20 mile radius of my office, all of them in operation for years already, and all of them charging exactly $35/hr. So using the concept of anchoring, I set my pricing at $100/hr and I made sure that I advertised that price everywhere. I knew that I could settle for as low of $35 if I had to, but I certainly didn’t want to, and I needed a way for my clients to justify coming to the new guy on the block instead of my older, more established neighbors.

The results were that people would call me just to find out why I was the only guy in town charging 3x the price as everyone else. They were curious. They wanted to know what it was I was doing that the others were not. They wanted to understand what I knew that the others didn’t know. Ultimately, they came with me because of the perception that I must be better than the others because I was charging so much more than they were.

I took the business, and negotiated my fee a bit as needed, but most of the time I stuck to my numbers and got the deal at my asking price because I had instantly become the perceived authority by the prospective clients who called. Instant Authority, gained through nothing more than an anchor price, not through merit, work history, social media followers, social proof, client proof, concept proof, or any other means. I did it through my understanding of the psychological insecurity that most people have that they want and feel like they aren’t good enough as they are, and that they want to show the world that they are better.

These insecurities drive people to pay higher prices for status symbols, and $47K cars that won’t do anything more than a $14K car can do for them. Why spend the extra? For the same reason as anything else. We perceive that one is better than the other. This creates a higher reference point in our minds, and in the minds of our buyers as business owners. These perceptions make your initial offer seem more reasonable and actually help them decide on their own that it is better for them to do. In other words, you are helping them find a way to look at it that they are happy to live with.

Conclusion

Well, that’s our show for today folks. I hope you enjoyed and and perhaps learned a little something that you found to be of value to you today.

The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0010

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today! On today’s show, we will be discussing how your brain works behind the scenes to keep you on a set pattern. If you can recognize it, you can change it. So let’s get into it.

How the Mind Works

I went to school for 1 1/2 years to learn this and I know a good deal about this subject. The mind is a beautiful thing, and many people think that they understand it, when in fact they don’t. The brain isn’t actually made up of 1 mind. It is made up of 2. One one side, you have the conscious mind that makes up roughly 12% of your mind and controls your short-term memory. The other side is the subconscious mind, which composes the remaining 88% of your thoughts, controls your long-term memory as well as the majority of things you do on a regular basis. Once you understand that, it is important to understand what actually happens inside your mind to get you functioning and doing what you do. It all comes down to information. Everything you see, smell, taste, and touch gets translated into information by the conscious mind and stored in a holding area waiting to be processed. If enough of the same information is gathered, it is allowed to pass through the critical mind filter into the subconscious, and it sticks.

The Critical Mind Filter

Think of the critical mind filter like a bouncer at a nightclub. It’s job is very similar. There is only so much space in the subconscious to store information, so only the most popular information is allowed to get into this trendy club. If you see something once for example, that isn’t enough to make it. If you see the same thing repeatedly however, now you are forming a popular group of similar information, and this group has the star-power to get into the club. It doesn’t matter if this information is good or bad; only that it is popular or, in other words, that it is prevalent enough to become a group.

Success is No Accident

Whatever you want in life, you can get it with the right mindset, training, and direction.

Understanding Knowns

The concept of the Known and Unknown is usually a difficult one for people to wrap their head around, but I will attempt to make it pretty simple to follow. Information itself is neither good or bad. It is just information. The associations we hold within our subconscious mind to a piece of information determines whether or not it is a known or an unknown and, by extension, whether or not we decide we like it or don’t like it.

The known is simply that enough information of the same type have grouped together to become a prevalent though in the subconscious. If enough information reinforces other information, it becomes a known for that particular idea in your mind. Once this happens, habits are formed. Look at smoking or drinking as a good example. People become chain smokers or heavy drinkers because they did it allot and formed the habit of doing it. Once that happens, it can be difficult to stop doing it because the subconscious mind keeps telling you to do it. It does this because, in it’s own way, it thinks this is something you want to do. It thinks this because you took the time to do it enough to become an established known in your mind. You made it a habit, and your subconscious wants you to keep repeating your habits because it believes that is what you want. The fact that you might not want to continue this habit at some point doesn’t have much weight, because the giant group of knowns formed from the information reinforcing this habit are drowning out the noise of the tiny group of unknowns which are trying to say, “I want to change.”

Understanding Unknowns

So unknows work the same way, but it is more difficult to make changes based on them because they are few fighting against the many. The only way to make effective changes is by reinforcing the unknows more and more, while deliberately no reinforcing the knowns any longer. This is not easy to accomplish however, because your subconscious mind controls 88% of all thought processes, and it works solely on the basis of pattern recognition. It doesn’t care if you want to make changes. It doesn’t get emotions or the concepts of right and wrong. These are conscious mind tasks to consider. The subconscious ONLY looks at the patterns, and it will continue to run them on a loop until you have reinforced enough of the unknowns associated with that particular thought to overtake the already established knowns that were there beforehand.

Running the Pattern

Along that journey, until the unknowns take over the knowns, the subconscious will continue to try to correct what it thinks is an error in the pattern be making subtle suggestions to you to return to the established pattern. Remember that you thoughts are not entirely your own. They are representations of the pattern. If your pattern is:

x-x-x-o-o-o-x-x-x-o-o-o-x-x-x-o-o-o

but then you suddenly try to change it to:

ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox

your subconscious mind will try to put you back on the pattern it assumes is the true pattern you really want to live. It does this by making small, subtle corrects that will meet with relatively little resistance. Each tiny correction slowly moves you back to the established pattern until one day you realize all of your hard work to change didn’t pay off. Don’t get mad about it though, because your mind is only trying to help. You took the time, and made the effort, to make this pattern your reality after all. It is only trying to help you continue to get the things it thinks you want because of that fact. Now that you know this information, go out there and train you mind to establish new patterns. You have to consciously do that with the 12% of your conscious mind because your subconscious doesn’t think in terms of what is good for you or bad. Conscious effort, and all the time, keeping it fresh in your mind, is the only way to make change happen because you have to build on the unknowns until they become the knowns and take over the previously established pattern. When you do, the new pattern takes over, and your mind will help you stay on that path from then on; even when things veer off.

Conclusion

Well, that’s our show for today folks. Remember, changing your pattern to train your brain for positive change is all about your mindset. By adopting a positive and focused mindset that keeps conscious awareness on the information you want to replace the known your don’t want in your life, you can increase the size of those groups in the club and achieve the success in your life that you want to see. I hope you enjoyed and and perhaps learned a little something that you found to be of value to you today.

3 Steps to Overcome Procrastination with the Right Mindset

The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0009

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today! On today’s show, we will be discussing how to overcome the issue of procrastination through mindset for continued business success; and I’ll be giving you 3 things that you can do to take more action each day and improve your task completion. So let’s get into it.

Procrastination is a common problem

Faced by many individuals, procrastination can hinder our progress towards achieving our goals. However, with the right mindset, it is possible to overcome this issue and achieve success in your business.

The right mindset is crucial in overcoming procrastination.

Work to develop your mindset everyday by, setting clear goals and then prioritize the tasks that will help you achieve those goals. It’s also important to stay motivated by reminding yourself of the reasons why getting the tasks done to achieve these goals will benefit you. Staying organized and breaking down tasks into smaller, more manageable steps can help avoid feeling overwhelmed and encourage progress as well. Lastly, if you want maximum success achievement, hold yourself accountable and stay disciplined by creating a routine; and stick to it. Procrastination is a plague, but you can overcome it and achieve success in your business, once you decide to get your mind right.

Success is No Accident

Whatever you want in life, you can get it with the right mindset, training, and direction.

Our program will help you earn $10,000+/month in the first 60 Days. Find out more at: TheMillerFirms.com/Coaching

Here are three things you can do to take more action each day and improve task completion:

#1 – Set Achievable Goals

Break down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable goals. This will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed, and it will allow you to focus on completing one task at a time.

  1. Imagine a student has a big project due at the end of the semester. Instead of waiting until the last minute to complete it, they break it down into smaller, more manageable goals. They set a goal to complete research and gather all necessary materials by the end of the first week, then to create an outline by the end of the second week, to write the first draft by the end of the third week, and so on. By breaking the project down into smaller tasks, the student is able to focus on completing one goal at a time, which prevents them from feeling overwhelmed. This approach also allows them to track their progress and adjust their plan if necessary, which can ultimately lead to a more successful outcome.
  2. Now imagine that, instead of a student, we’re talking about you and a big project you have to do at work to accomplish something big. You should attack it the same way as our young student here and start by breaking the project down to the sum of its parts. Analyze it and figure out what steps need to be done, and in what order. Set goals and deadlines for yourself to accomplish each task so that they will all be completed and the overall project is done with time to spare. This allows you the ability to see the larger picture, focus your energies on a single part instead of trying to do everything at once, and will give you a much better result than if you had been more scattered about the task. As you complete each part, celebrate the victory. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Then move on to the next task until they have all been completed and the project is done. If you do it this way, not only will you end up with a better outcome, but the journey to get there will be more enjoyable as well.

#2 – Create a Schedule

Plan out your day in advance, including specific times for completing tasks. This will help you stay on track and avoid distractions. In order to focus your energies, have a daily target for specific task completions as well. People often overlook the power that a task sheet can hold for them. As an example, my daily task list requires that, as my day progresses, I have to do a minimum of 3 things that have the potential to generate revenue on the spot. That could be sending a contract for signature, holding a meeting in which I make a closing offer that someone can agree to, or even as simple as putting out a post which contains a link to purchase one of my products. The point is that my task sheet keeps me focused, and my mindset keeps me on task to get through it because I made the decision, a long time ago, not to end my day until my task sheet is cleared. It works great for me, and it will work for you too. I highly recommend it.

#3 – Hold Yourself Accountable

Set consequences for not completing tasks on time. This could be something as simple as not allowing yourself to watch TV until the task is complete, or not being able to go to lunch until you have reached a certain point. I do that one myself as well, and I can tell you that many a day have gone by when I end up taking my lunch around 2 or 3pm instead of noon. The discipline to hold yourself accountable and steadfast to the benchmarks you set is as much an art as it is a skill to be mastered. Training yourself to think this way, and to force yourself to keep moving, even if it is hard which it will be sometimes, takes focus and determination. Not everyone has these skills within them, but all of us can learn these skills and use them for our betterment. Wrap your mindset around task completion, instead of the overall goal, and then focus on reminding yourself not to stop until these tasks are completed. You will find that do this will greatly enhance your life in a myriad of ways.

Conclusion

Well, that’s our show for today folks. Remember, overcoming procrastination is all about your mindset. By adopting a positive mindset and implementing these tips, you can increase your productivity and achieve success in your business and in your life. I hope you enjoyed and and perhaps learned a little something that you found to be of value to you today.

The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0005

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today! On today’s show, we will be discussing Imposter Syndrome for Entrepreneurs. So let’s get into it.

Defining Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome is a feeling of self-doubt and insecurity that can affect anyone, but is especially prevalent among entrepreneurs. It’s that nagging voice in your head that tells you that you’re not good enough or that you don’t belong.

One way to combat this feeling is to remind yourself of your accomplishments. Take a moment to reflect on your successes and the hard work that went into achieving them. Remember that you are capable and deserving of your success. You have gathered experience, training, and understanding of a thing that others lack the full scope of in some capacity, and because of that, they need your help to do it for themselves. Rather than thinking about the things you haven’t done, think about the things that you have done and the opportunities that are available to you.

Here are 2 simple tricks to help you kick those negative thoughts out of your head quick, beat feelings of Imposter Syndrome, and get yourself back on track so that you can accomplish your goals.

Tip#1: Reframe your thinking.

Instead of focusing on the negative, try to focus on the positive. Try this exercise on for size. When you are feeling like:

  • things aren’t going your way
  • you don’t deserve to be giving advice to others
  • you aren’t qualified
  • you are feeling guilty about the fact that you are charging such high prices for something that is seemingly simple for you to do.

Take a moment. Take a breath. Look in the mirror and reframe that thought out loud, but with a positive spin.

Let me give you one as an example. I have worked in the banking industry for many years now. I work a good deal in the factoring and invoice financing space. In the business world, it is quite common for businesses to purchase products and supplies on credit terms of 30 days to get themselves time to flip those goods into profits. As an independent broker, I set my clients up to get paid on the invoices they send to those business customers within 24hrs instead of waiting the typical 30 days for the customer to pay them. It offers my clients a debt-free solution to increase their company’s cash flow position so that they can start building their business instead of juggling when to pay what bill because their revenue isn’t stable. For my services of finding them the right banker to work with, negotiating the deal on their behalf, and ultimately putting more cash flow back into their business to allow for growth, I get paid quite a lot of money. Sometimes as much as $50,000 if it is a large company.

So that’s what I do, but why is it important for my mindset?

The thing is, I’m really good at what I do. So good in fact, I literally teach a class on it to aspiring factoring brokers at the FactorCareers Broker Training Academy. If you want to know more about them, just check out factorcareers.com. But it is precisely because I am so good at it, that it gets real simple and straight forward for me to see the logical progression to get the deal done for my client.

Sometimes, I do feel guilty for the fees I charge. Especially if I get the whole deal knocked out in like 12 hrs. But that isn’t the point. The point is that what I do is a specialty service that few others are as good at, and most businesses don’t really understand; but I do. On the average, I save my clients roughly $70,000 in financing fees that they would normally pay to the bank for these services. I can do this for them because I know what to look for and how to negotiate those extra fees back out of the contracts. This is not something your average business owner knows how to find or to do; and that’s why I can charge the fees I charge, and my clients are happy to pay them.

So sometimes I have to remind myself as well, that I do deserve to be here to do what I do; and I do it with this trick of looking in the mirror and reframing my concern. So I’ll look into the mirror, and instead of saying something like:

“Are you crazy? You’re about to go into this meeting and ask these people to pay you $25,000 for 12hrs of work to get this setup? That’s $2,000 an hour. Your lawyer doesn’t even make $2,000 an hour crazy!”

Instead, I say something like this:

“Man, I’m about to make $25,000 today for just setting this up, saving my clients more money, and ensuring their business has the cash flow it needs from now on to grow, and thrive, and keep feeding the families of everyone who works there for them. Am I in the best business in the world, or what?”

Can you see how that simple reframing can shift your mindset and put you back in the right frame of mind to get your goals accomplished? Try it out on your own for your own personal situation when you have the opportunity. If you reframe your mindset in these moments, and in this manner, I promise you that imposter syndrome won’t have a terrible grip on you; at least not for long.

Tip#2: Get on the success train to outpace Imposter Syndrome.

Get on the success train, you’re thinking. What in the world does that mean? Well, I’ll tell you. A great deal of the psychological determinations that make up feelings of imposter syndrome are all stemming from a lack in confidence. Confidence is gained, naturally, through achievement. So, if you want to build confidence, you need to celebrate more achievements. It’s that simple.

So how does that compare to a train, you ask. Check it out. Take a moment right now, and think of a goal that you have. Now grab a pen and pad and start listing out, on one line, each step that it will take to achieve that goal. Try to break it down into one word and one numeric quantifier for each step. For example: Don’t write I need 30 customers by Friday. Instead, just write 30 customers. Now, draw a box around each of your steps on that line, and BINGO. You just made a success train.

Step 2 is to continually refer to this train diagram and check off each train car as you complete it, taking time to celebrate each accomplishment along the train from: 8AM – Work, to 6 Ads, and finally $100K sold. As you do so, your confidence level will start to soar, and your feelings of inadequacy will melt away.

By implementing these simple tricks, you can change your mindset and prevent imposter syndrome from holding you back. Remember to celebrate your successes and focus on the positive.

Well, that’s the show for beating Imposter Syndrome folks.
