Confession: every time I hear about a fellow female entrepreneur’s success, I yell out, “yessssss, girrrllll, do your thing” and perform a little dance. They, and all those who will one day achieve their particular definition of success, deserve to be applauded because the work they’ve done to get to where they’re at didn’t happen by grit and grind alone or by coincidence; but by having the right mindset too. And having the right mindset is the key difference between those who say they want to be successful and those who are.

Want to be like them? Here are four hacks to make the shifts you need.

Get Clear

Successful female entrepreneurs know all too well that “if you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else.” That is why they’re clear about their goal(s) and know the direction they’re headed. For this reason, if you’re biz is aimlessly lost, get clear about the path you’re on. To help you do that, chart a plan of action for the next three months, including weekly and daily goals. And then rinse and repeat as you need.

However, if you aren’t able to see the forest because of the trees and need help to move your biz forward, I invite you to learn more about my Thrive: Biz Reset Kickstart.

Since I started this paragraph with a quote, it’s only fits to end with one, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” So, put destination – success – in your GPS and start driving there using the route plan you’ve mapped out.

(Quote 1- Yogi Berra. Quote 2 – Benjamin Franklin)

Erase, Erase. Replace, Replace. 

The story of The Little Engine That Could is probably the best way to describe how successful female entrepreneurs think. Despite specific odds and challenges, they never give up or let fear get in the way. If they fail, they get back up and give it another go. If their plan needs to be tweaked, they tweak it. If a tactic needs to be chucked, they chuck it and move onto the next one. If they’re stuck, they seek the service of someone to help them move forward. 

Regardless of whether they think they are smart enough, have the best idea or not, or feel that someone else has already been there and done that, they keep their eyes on the prize and persevere. 

So instead of feeding yourself doubt and negativity or using “I’m stuck” as an excuse, erase that self-sabotaging talk and replace procrastination with action and keep on keeping on until you reach your goal. 

Just Say “No”

Successful female entrepreneurs nixed their habit of saying “yes” to any and everything that doesn’t serve value to their biz (and life). After all, they know that time is a valuable commodity.

Eat, Sleep, and Don’t Forget to Do You

Women tend to neglect their self-care when they’ve got a biz to build and a family to raise or other pressing responsibilities (or all three!). But a successful female entrepreneur knows that without making their physical and mental health a priority, they won’t have the clarity and stamina needed to sustain a high level of focus and effort. And the same is true for you too.

Thus, get your rest, eat right, and don’t forget to do you. What I mean by this is, don’t forget that while you’re pouring your heart and soul into creating the success you envision, you also refuel your heart and soul through proper self-care.
