The Difference Between You and An Elite Entrepreneur

Elite entrepreneurs are elite for a reason.

It’s not an accident that they are where they are.

But it’s also not because of their business, income or lifestyle. These are the rewards of being at the top of their game, not the cause.

It’s because of 1 thing that sets them apart, and if you build it, you’ll become an elite entrepreneur as well - and the business, income and lifestyle will follow.

So picture you right now, as you are.

If something bad, terrible, or even slightly negative happens, what do you do?

You start talking to yourself negatively, saying things like “this always happens to me”, “I’ve no luck”, “I’m doomed to fail”, “of course that would happen”, “I’ll never be able to X”, “I can’t do y” or whatever it is that you say.

And the worst part? You might not even realise you’re saying these things.

Now picture an elite entrepreneur.

If something bad, terrible or slightly negative happens, what do they do?

They instantly talk to themselves positively, saying things like “Now I know what not to do”, “that’s a great thing to learn”, “I’m one step closer to figuring it out”, “I’m glad that happened” or whatever else they say.

You see, what you have to understand is that “As a man thinketh, so is he”.

Your external life is nothing but a reflection of your internal thoughts and beliefs - this is why 2 people can be in the exact same situation and have 2 vastly different opinions, experiences and outcomes.

As a human, you will act according to your self-talk (as they are reflections of beliefs) and if your self-talk is negative you’re doomed to create more failures and more mistakes.

But if your self-talk is positive, you’re bound for progress and success.

My main idea for this email wasn’t necessarily meant to be about self-talk, but that’s where I felt like going and it serves the main purpose well.

The main difference between an elite entrepreneur and you is your mindset.

Yes, I know, how cliche.

But remember, “As a man thinketh, so is he”.

You see, your self-talk doesn’t spring out of nowhere. It’s a reflection of your mindset and beliefs.

So it’s not that an elite entrepreneur has better self-talk than you, it’s that the cause of that self-talk (their mindset) is better.

They are irrefutably convinced that everything happens in their favour and hence they act in a way that brings learning, opportunity and success into their life.

Winners keep winning because they believe they win.

Losers lose because they identify with that momentary positioning.

If you want to have the business, income and lifestyle of an elite entrepreneur, you first need the mindset of one, after all, everything else stems from it.

From your mindsets comes your actions.

From your actions comes your results.

And a bad mindset creates bad actions and bad results.

Obviously, this is just 1 example of a mindset elite entrepreneurs hold, but it’s the foundation of the rest.

If you don’t whole-heartedly believe things happen in your favour then everything that happens will have a negative spin and create a downward spiral.

Believe everything happens in your favour. Every mistake a lesson, every failure a chance to learn.

Believe everything pushes you toward success and you will act in a way that makes it true.

Believe everything will help you succeed, and it will.

PS: the problem with this is that it’s so “cliche” that most people will read this email and do nothing. Then in 6 months they’ll look around and wonder why both themselves and their business aren’t growing how they want them to. Don’t let that be you. If you want better results, start at the foundation. Fix your mind to fix your life. Fix your life to fix your business.
