What mindset do I need right now?

by DannyDarwin
39 replies
I've never been "rich".

I don't know how it feels to buy a car, a house or a boat with CASH. To me, spending $1-2000 on just about anything feels like I'm "living la vida loca".

So, I actually have no idea of what my life will be when I'm rich.

But last 12 months I made a bit well over $50k totally from IM while enjoying a pretty nice and relaxing lifestyle. Sure, there were the usual up's and down's, but now I've seen the light and started to build a structure into my business so that it can be scaled. Rinse and repeat, oh yeah...

And right now, I can sense it... there are money waiting for me. Riches. Wealth. Even if I would screw up on new ventures, my current sources of incomes will still keep me going for a long while. So I can see it, really, I can SEE it. I can see how I will be making BIG money in the next 12 months.

Going from $50k to $500k. That's my goal right now.

Have you done it? What will happen? Should I worry? What do people who have that kind of money do with it? What do they do with their lifestyle?

I'm already my own boss, I don't take orders from anyone, I have a passive income that just needs a bit of a push now and then.

Should I just spend my days at the swimming pool? Should I focus on charity? After all, I got to THIS point thanks to my unstoppable mind and a burning desire to succeed. Now I can see it coming and I really really want it.

Yeah, I know... for many people here, $50k+ in 12 months is pocket change... but I started from zero, and I mean zero. Actually I started with debt, huge debt...

...some people might laugh, but hey, that's OK... I'm just a down to earth kind of guy anyway, enjoying my life and building my IM business one brick at a time.

To take my results to the next level, to push it a bit further... I want your advice, what mindset do I need right now?

      So true... visualization and affirmations have changed my life once before, I should get back on track and do that more often.

      Thx for reminding me!

    I would argue that actually if you have achieved that success then is there a need at all to change your mindset? $50k is a hell of a lot of money to a lot of people, me included. If you have amanaged to generate that, then you are obviously doing something right.

      Good input.

      Yeah, that's the thing... I've been at this position several times before in life, but I've never made more money than that in a year. So I'm getting into a whole new game if I start making 10 times more.

      Definitely doing something right, now I just want to keep doing that but on a much higher level. A year ago I had nothing but debts and I desperately needed to do something, so I started building my business again. I just kept going.

      Eventually, things turned around and I went from below zero to $50k. I could definitely do that again if I ever would need it (God forbid!), now that I know exactly how to do it.

      Going from $50k to $500k per year will be a completely different challenge, I'm sure.

      Thx for your thoughts!

      LOL @ Brooksyd2....I agree I feel the same way. $50k is A LOT OF MONEY!!!! We should be asking you what mindset do we need. Congratulations on your milestone.

        My mindset so far?

        "Keep working, keep working, keep working. Sooner or later I'll have a breakthrough!"

        Not sure if that helps though, my life kind of sucked at the time... lol

        I would do it again if I had to, it's definitely been worth it. But there are a lot of things that could have gone wrong on the way and I would still have been stuck at below zero...

        To all the people I worked with, all the people who bought anything from me, all the people who supported me... I'm very grateful, thank you

    The biggest deal I ever closed in my life was in the multiple millions. I was able to buy a distressed company, own a piece of it, and turn it around. I did it using none of my own money - because I simply didn't have any.
    The mindset I used was "how can I be of service to my partners?" It took the attention of me and my needs, and put me in a position to listen and respond to what they wanted.
    It was a three year partnership in which we more than doubled the value of the business and sold it for a LOT of money - some of which I got to keep. That one deal changed my life in every way imaginable, including financially.
    I recommend the idea of "how can I be of service?"

    Wow, that's cool... "multiple millions" - i like the sound of that!

    Yes, you're absolutely right... I do my best to think "what can I do right now that will be of value to my clients?" but honestly, sometimes I start thinking "how can I make more money out of my clients?". I've learnt the hard way that when I focus only on the first question, the second question will answer itself.

    How did that deal change your life? Would you have done anything different before the deal, if you had known the outcome?

    You are on a great path, I think you should take on the mindset of 'visualize and attack' (waterboy lol) You have proven to yourself that you can make a considerable amount of cash with this, so now it's time to really scale it up and get to where you want to be.

    Be terrified of being broke again. Think about the future when you plan things. Never be satisfied with the income you pull in but always appreciate where your income is at this point.

    A strong mind and persistent visualization and work will get you to that 500k guarenteed.

      Tell me about it...! I rented a place without hot water and I had to borrow money to pay for instant noodles and ice tea... lol... it wasn't the most fun time in my life, but I just kept pushing for my dream to come true.

      The worst part was never the actual living standard, but it was the lack of freedom. Not being able to go anywhere due to the cost of gas or tickets, not being able to take my girlfriend for a nice date... and so on.

      It definitely sucked, big time! I still work hard and focused to stay on the right track, but yeah, I've had some moments of "comfort zone satisfaction"... I need to work on my mindset to stay hungry, so to speak...

      Thanks for your input! $500k within the next 12 months, yay!

    Hey Danny, best of luck to you my friend.
    Starting off with the $50k is great, I'd say that you have to now just keep developing yourself and your mindset in order to bring the $500k into your life. I think the biggest key is to make sure that you keep learning and be open to change.
    Success sometimes shuts off our ability to learn when we say to ourselves "I already know that".

    Keep it going man!

      You story sounds amazing, going from zero to 50k is absolutely great!... but when i read that part of: "Should I worry?" the first thing that came to my mind was... why are you asking this.
      You should not ask that kind of questions and instead, go for it!.. if $500k is you goal, and if you were able to do what you've done so far, chances are you will achieve that...
      I think you are getting now the mindset to succeed, and I'm sure that if you start to see every single thing completely possible for you (even when for most people it's something crazy or out of mind), you will achieve massive succeess and your goal of $500k will be absolutely achievable.
      Sometimes I see people setting goals of massive money and I also find people saying... 'this is not possible'... 'i've been trying to do this for years and nothing happens'... 'it's easier to sell your arms' etc etc.. but I feel happy for those who set big goals and go for it (without paying attention to those who think it's hard, it's not possible, etc). and yes! it can take some effort but I'm those who think that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! ... and I'm happy to see you setting that goal, honestly. Go for it!

        Yeah, looking back at all the things that were going on just a year ago, it's a great story to tell my future grandkids... but at that time, it was tough... it affected my personal life, my relationship, my friendships, everything.

        Now that I've been in that "dark place" I learnt three things:

        1. Everything is possible
        2. I could do it again if I had to
        3. I never want to do it again

        So I'm more than motivated, I know exactly how it feels to have absolutely nothing than my own clothes, a small room, a laptop and a few good friends. You know, it really sucks to borrow money from someone just to pay for the daily food... lol

        Great ideas about goals... I've always been a person who sets goals, but at that time I just did whatever I could to survive and reach my dream. Not much of a goal at that time, but I had this superstrong belief that "I can make it, whatever it takes!"... I just kept pushing... and it did work out finally, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones

        I'll take your advice and start focusing on goals again, not just "do what it takes", but setting the goals, visualizing them and reaching them. $500k per year... I'll start there and break it down to smaller steps!

        I guess that's one of the things I need now, a roadmap, so I never get lost again.

        Thx!

      Thx friend!

      Change is the only static factor...! I'm definitely open to change (at least I like to think I am). When it comes, I will embrace it and face it just as I faced every single one of my previous challenges.

      I get your point about success, I'm interested both in learning what I need to take my life and business to the next level, as well as teaching what I already know to help other people go from small income to $50k. I think teaching also helps me stay focused on learning.

      Making progress day by day... now I've got 4 products on my desk to be finished by me and my partners in the next months! Coming here and reading the feedback in this thread keeps me motivated, thx!

      ...and best of luck to you!

    $50k maybe not that much to some, but to others its like manna from heaven. Glad that you got that much where others dream to have even half of it from IM.
    The next step..if you haven't taken it yet is maybe try to outsource, or have a team to work on your next project. Trust me, it would be much better if 2-3 of you are thinking of the same goal rather than 1.
    Find partners, hire people from abroad, outsource it. It seems a bit arduous at first but like any other, you will get good at it in time. And IM will be a bit easier later. Also, IM will be more interesting.
    Just keep going, diversify and READ/LEARN (you would be surprise how many people have stop reading/learning)

      True, I do try to outsource more and more, as well as working with a few good partners. It's definitely a different kind of thinking. Managing people and projects instead of doing it myself. That's a great way to build a business!

      One of the skills I need to learn right now is paid traffic, copywriting and testing, so I can automate my business a bit more... or find partners who know what they are doing!

      You're so right about reading/learning, it's good both for inspiration and for acquiring new skills and insights.

      Thx!

    I just wanted to say thank you for this post. I am starting with a $20 month for advertising and I am thankful that I already bought my websites, but I am in the same boat. Currently I am reading "The Power of Intention," by Wayne Dyer and I am learning to change my thoughts.

    I come on this board every day to help me get through. I have been slacking dramatically for the past month and I need to learn to focus. I have an issue believing in myself too which is why I am reading Wayne Dyer and Esther Hicks books to help me focus.

    I believe and know that since you already made 50k from nothing, you can make 500k from something . It isn't about the product or whatever you are doing, it is about you believing in yourself and doing it. I am learning that too.

      I graduated from a work sponsored course on Friday about Conscious Leadership. I have learnt how powerful the mind and different mindsets can be, and how you need to focus on your own personal strengths.
      It sounds like you know what you are doing with your IM to be able to acheive $50k in 12 months, to get to $500k, you need to amplify what you have done x 10.
      Identify your strengths, and use these to propel you forward. Identify your weaknesses, and use these as an opportunity to improve, or outsource them to others who possess these as strengths.

        Conscious Leadership - without knowing the details, it sounds just like what I need.

        Reaching the $50k took a lot of effort, and didn't really happen in the most well-planned or conscious way...

        That's definitely something I know I need to change in my mind... to plan more, think about the strategies, the "why". And with more people in my team, I need to show great leadership as well.

        Thanks for the feedback, I'll make a simple list of my strengths/weaknesses and sort it all out. What to focus on, what to outsource... great advice!

          I sit here and read your post in amazement. You are doing it!!!!! You ask what mindset you should be in. Okay I haven't made anywhere close to what you have made, therefore, I am in no position to tell you what frame of mind to be in, but I can tell you this. YOU DID ONE HELL OF A JOB!!! You made more in a year than most people do slaving away at there 9-5 job.

          Here is my advice. That desire, that hunger, that thirst for wanting more that you had to reach that $50,000 mark.......Stay with that mindset. As long as you got patience, persistance, and desire you will always come out on top. Keep doing what you did. Whatever you did the past twelve months do it again. The only difference is now scale it up a notch. Not sure if you have people working for you, but if you don't that would probably be the next step. Think about it like making a clone of yourself. You can only work so many hours in a day. What if there was two of you? How about five? What if you could afford ten workers that put out the same quality work that you put out the last twelve months.

          It's all about working smarter not harder. You are a true inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing your success story.

            With all the work I put in, I guess I made about $11 / hour or less... just to put it in perspective

            Thanks for your advice, I do believe that I have to stay hungry. Perhaps I need to find something "bigger than myself", I'm not a materialistic person so perhaps I should find a cause that could benefit from my future earnings. Well, I'll keep some for my dream car

            Now I try to get it down on paper... everything I did during the last 12 months that I should repeat, and everything I should NOT do again. Believe me, I made a lot of mistakes...!

            My business model is very scalable, but I'm still not experienced in scaling, so that will definitely be a challenge. All those things that comes with it... testing, tracking, automating, outsourcing... slightly overwhelming, but I'll overcome any issue step by step, or at least try to. I guess this is also the time to start listening to the experts and invest some money in my own learning, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel again.

            Thanks for your feedback!

            If I can do it, so can anyone (who is stubborn enough to never give up) !

      "It isn't about the product or whatever you are doing, it is about you believing in yourself and doing it. I am learning that too."

      Definitely... I have a belief-disorder: failure doesn't exist!

      Even when I was at zero, with big debts, I didn't think of it as a failure, only a temporary embarrassment. Something I would get out of sooner or later... sure, it did take a year, but now I can feel how I'm learning this business day by day!

      You can do it to, I'm sure about it, by developing your mindset. I wish you all the best luck with learning and developing your mindset, your skills and anything else you need to start making a lot of money and reaching all your goals.

      Thx for believing in me!

    It all depends on what you feed your subconscious mind with, much like what Napoleon H. calls "autosuggestion" or in a common man's language, "gabbage-in-gabbage-out. If you develop a mindset of success and prosperity, there is no goals that are unattainble.

      The word "failure" doesn't exist in my vocabulary, only "given some time I will succeed"...

      Obviously it's not been an overnight change, it's been thousands and thousands of very small changes all for the good.

      A lot of people would probably not consider $50k a "success", but yeah, it's definitely a milestone for me!

      I'll focus more on developing my mindset and my skills... thanks for your advice.

    You are doing great and should be congratulated. I know how hard you've worked to get where you are, because IM is not easy. The mindset you should have is the one you've got....realizing there's always something new to learn and improve upon.

    The other thing is don't forget from where you started. Remembering those humble beginnings will keep you grounded and make you appreciate your success even more.

      Thanks!

      Yes, a lot of hard work, a lot of mistakes, a lot of hours thrown away on trial and error... IM is definitely not easy, but it's just so fun, it's the challenge of my life! If I have to choose one path to wealth, it would definitely be the IM-path!

      I'm really inspired by all the great advice I'm getting here, learning and improving is my top priority. There are so many topics in IM that I haven't even touched, and I know some of them might be the key to unlock the next level of my business. PPC, list building, testing and tracking...

      You're right, remembering the humble beginnings... I'm grateful every day for where I am today, I have to pinch myself sometimes to see if I will wake up from my dream.

      I'm far from reaching all of my goals, but having a full time income from IM, no boss, flexible hours and a somewhat passive income... it really is a contrast to my situation a year ago and I'm extremely grateful for that!

    You need to have a focus and one clear goal, then have a proper planning and take action.

      Not planning properly was one of the things that brought me down far below zero, so I've learnt the hard way how important it is.

      I've had to become a master opportunist to overcome that lack of planning. That might sound fun (it is!) but it has been totally exhausting to chase the next opportunity. Now that I have a more stable income, I also take more time to plan and set my goals.

      Taking action has never been a problem, just a bit to much trial and error...

      Thanks for your advice

      I'm grateful for everything I have. Skills, friends, partners, relationship, money, stuff and everything else... not forgetting the Warriorforum and all the great people here!

      You're right, it's a lot of money. Now I need to prove to myself that I can do it again, and this time I'll make it $500k in a year, yay! Sounds unreal... lol! I guess I need to start thinking of it as an achievable goal, so I don't just sit here daydreaming...

    Congratulation $50k is a lot of money what you need to do is to keep working hard and set your goals. Plan what you would like to do or to have achieved within a period of time.

    Congrats on the 50k....it seems to me that you already have the mindset....your goal is to go from 50k to 500k which is a big goal but you have the vision and you can SEE it so now just act and you will obtain your goal

    I believe in this statement," if you fail to plan, you plan to fail" that is each person should establish a plan for himself on what he/she wants to be in the future and should prepare something on how will that goal is to be achieve. Having a plan serves as our guide on where should we go and what decisions shall we make along the journey to our goal. And also, the setting of our mind towards our goal is a necessary preparation for that goal. We should have an establish and well prepared plan for our mind, then as we establish our plan, redirect your mind on that plan.

    If you feel that at present, you are not properly closing your steps to your goal, then you should change your mindset, for you to change your life. A change in your mindset is a big factor for the future of your plans.

    Hi Danny,

    What you did was amazing! Congratulations!

    Here's one of the key things you said: When you thought about what you could get from clients, things didn't work so well. When you thought about how you could help your clients, you succeeded.

    In my life coach training, we learned about seven levels of energy. When you thought about how you could help your clients, you went up a level.

    I'm curious as to why you want to go from $50k per year to $500 k per year. What will you get out of that?

    In terms of that higher level of consciousness - what can you give to your clients - what will this do for them?

    Exploring these questions might be helpful to you.

    Also, when you say "should I worry?" how do you think worrying could help you? What are your concerns? And how can you address them rather than letting yourself get mired in the low-level energy that worrying creates?

    I hope these questions are helpful.

    Namaste,

    Janet

    P.S. I'm not suggesting you answer these questions here on this thread - unless you think it would be helpful. Answering them within yourself could be enough to help you get clarity.

    You already have the proper mindset or you would not be where you are. What you need is to redirect your focus. Network with others of a like mind. Share your knowledge and experience. As you do that and compare notes with like minded people, you'll be amazed at the opportunities that will open up to you....

    No I have not done this BUT

    What matters more than anything else is for your body to completely feel how it is to develop a wealthy lifestyle.

    This is probably the coolest part about our body and how it works...

    Our body and mind cannot experience something unless it generates it first...in other words, you brain cells has to generate the state of wealth before it can occur. If you focus everyday on a wealthy lifestyle without worry of being right or wrong on how that lifestyle will feel, you'll be going lightyears ahead of what it would be like to speculate.

    Just dive in completely and feel it every day and you'll become wealthy...

    Also there's this really cool book I know that has developed a lot of incredibly wealthy people. It was written in the early 1900s and it was initially a mail order course to a select few who got rich from it.. here's the link to it free:

    The master key system in twenty-four ... - Google Books

    and if you'd like to see some proof check this out...it has a bunch of testimonials from the early 1900s before the book even came out.

    The master key - Google Books

    This book is incredible. I can't help you completely but I know this book can.

    I hope this helps,

    Danny,

    You've got the right mindset, obviously. The next step would seem to be more a mechanical approach. Take what you have learned (and been successful at), analyze that and apply the 80/20.
    What worked about it? (the 20%)
    What didn't work about it (the 80%)

    Then, automate. Seriously, if you have been successful to the tune of $50K, then figure out what worked in your formula, and leverage that with automation and outsourcing what you can.

    Well done! Keep it up.
