3 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAMS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO HAPPEN

So you're in this situation where you've been bending backwards to create a new life for yourself. For example: Maybe you've done everything imaginable to start an online business. You've been working really hard to create content, post on social media, be consistent, and you've been positive like hell and really believed in yourself.

You've created lots of opt-ins and free stuff to build your email-list and an audience that would eventually buy your great digital products or physical products or whatever it is that you're going for.

But nothing happens. No response. No list. No audience. Which again means no business.
You just want to say "F*** it all!" and quit.
And I don't blame you.

And now I'll be completely honest with you:
All the things I've described above is my own experience exactly.
I've spent years doing all those things, and for what?
Nothing. Or at least so it seems.

Not a single penny has landed in my bank account for years, except for the few dollars that I myself and my close family have spent on "buying" my own products just to see if things worked as they should with my web-store!
For years I've had no real response from people who has read my blog or listened to my (few and not so consistent) video broadcasts.

So I don't really know if anyone actually reads what I write or listens to what I'm trying to communicate, or is even remotely interested in what I offer.

No wonder I find myself wanting to give up half of the time, don't you agree?

So what keeps me going?

Good question! I've been asking myself the same thing on a regular basis!

The answer?

It's not all about the money.

It's about living a good life.
And even if the money hasn't yet come pouring in quite the way I'd like it to, I'm still improving my life day by day.

I'm working on myself every day, to learn more, become a better version of myself in every way, upgrade my personal standard, set boundaries, do the things that make me happy, take care of my health and wellbeing, connect with (and surround myself with) people that lift me up and support and love me, and I simply do everything possible to live with intention. I'm intentionally trying every day to make room for what is important and ditch what is not.

So I keep going, no matter what.
Because I believe in my mission.
I live what I preach!
Even if I still haven't earned the money I need to really get to the next level.
Yet.

But I know I'll get there. Just tag along and you'll see.

Because the principles I teach are simple, and they do work - if you follow them.

And here's my main message for today:

The most important thing is not all the things you're DOING.
It's your MINDSET.

If you really want that independent life where you work with what you love, when you want and from where you want, and make a solid income from it, an income that will make you financially free, - or (business or not) if you want to create a life for yourself that is completely and unapologetically on your own terms, and to live with intention....

Work on your mindset first.
Because here's the thing: No matter if I cannot yet show you incredible wealth and success as a result of my online business (because I'm not quite there yet), I'm here to tell you that what I've just (very honestly) shared with you, is not a proof of failure, either! Because I believe that my life is improving every day, and with great personal success.

The reason I'm not able to "show you the money" quite yet, as a proof of my own professional success, - is because I have actually done a few things wrong in the past when it comes to my online presence, and the most important ones are:

1) I haven't been clear enough on what my message actually is
2) I haven't been clear enough on who my audience is
3) I haven't been consistent enough, not visible enough
4) I've been doubting myself a lot, like whether or not I have something to say that is important to other people...

... and I could probably go on, but I'll just stop there, because this isn't really an article about how to create an online business, and I don't really want to focus on my mistakes, but on what you should do to have personal success. (I might come back to things related to professional success in later articles, though, as I move along with my own business.)

So if you've already done a lot to  move in the direction of your dreams, but you haven't gotten any visible results yet:
Hang in there!

Here are 3 steps that can change your situation (and this goes for both personal and professional success):

1) Stop DOING so much! :) Instead: Focus on just a few things every day.
     Make them easy and doable. Don't set yourself up for failure.

2) Stop over-thinking and trying to figure out HOW you can best succeed.
     Do what feels right for you and makes you happy, and have an open
     mind to people around you. Someone might open an unexpeted door for
     you with incredible opportunities, or help you with something you've
     been wondering how to cope with.

3) Set a POSITIVE INTENTION for every day, and then GO WITH THE
      FLOW!


This may seem too simple, but why make it complicated? That's what we very often tend to do, and I believe that might be the reason why you haven't seen any results so far in your struggles to create a new and better life for yourself.

So I suggest you try to follow these 3 steps for the next couple of weeks and see where that leads you. And I'd love to hear from you about that, so feel free to send me a note!

I've written a lot about mindset and how your thoughts create your reality in other articles on my blog, so why not take some time now to read more about that or listen to this episode of "What If....?
