Create Your Blogging Millionaire Mindset

Today is the day that you create your blogging millionaire mindset! After reading this post, you’ll have the tools to switch your thinking to that of a successful blogger/soon to be blogging millionaire.

Because that is what I want for you.

I was watching “The Adjustment Bureau” last night and thinking of how great it would be if there was a group of people watching out for all of us. They just wait in the wings, ready to spill coffee on us, which then causes us to “do this instead of that” thereby changing our life.

If only they would show up before we learn to use words like “can’t”.

Changing To a Millionaire Mindset

We start learning so many bad habits when we are very young.

Hearing statements like “We don’t have the money for that” or “Money does not grow on trees” are common across all demographics.

What is behind these words is also common…the word CAN’T. Can’t afford, can’t do this, can’t do that. It implies that something is out of our reach, and in many cases this is just not true.

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate…(thanks Cool Hand Luke!)

Ask anyone in the personal development world whether you can or cannot do something and they will quote Henry Ford:

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right”.

This was quite an eye-opener for me personally, because I was raised with lack mentality and a poverty mindset. I am not blaming, I just finally saw the light!

In his book “Think and Grow Rich”, Napoleon Hill tells us about how his son was born with “no physical sign of ears” and doctors told his parents that he would might be deaf and mute for life.

However, Hill had other ideas.

Hill desired that his son would be able to hear.

With that mind-set, Hill observed all the things that his son, Blair, did that contradicted that diagnosis, and made it his full-time job to encourage his son that he could hear and speak, and that his deformity would not hold him back.

Hill instilled in his son the desire to succeed regardless of circumstances!

First, Desire A Change To A Millionaire Mindset

I desire to win the lottery…now what?? Ok, well not really.

I mean it might be nice, but I would rather have a steady stream of money flowing into my life that I am in control of.

With the odds of still having some of the lottery money two years after the win as highly unlikely to nil, I am going for the long game here. How about you?

But where to start the change?

One way, is to take those old stories from your past, and turn them around:

• “We don’t have money for that” becomes “I always have more than enough money”
• “Money doesn’t grow on trees” becomes “Money is always plentiful”.

All you’re doing is changing the way you look at things and giving them a positive outcome.

These are called ‘affirmations’ because we are affirming what we want.

Affirmations are usually stated in present tense, such as “money is always plentiful”.

Write it down. Look at it daily. Say it out loud or in your head whenever you look at it. Simple no?

Focus on having it now, in the present tense…not wanting it, but already having it!

It may seem silly or strange, and I started running out of sticky notes in my bedroom when doing this, but it does work.

And when you realize that it does work, you’ll discover that you can change your mindset about anything.

You just need to tap in to those negative statements about money and change them to positives, and then keep reinforcing the positive message into your subconscious.

You don’t even need to know what the negative statements are, just start focusing on positives.

If you think this sounds weird or strange, consider what your negative mindset is doing for your life.

I watched an old movie from 1960 called Pollyanna, because i’ve heard of optimistic people being called “pollyannas” and I wondered why.

This girl was an orphan, and when her parents passed away she was sent to live with her unmarried aunt.

Pollyanna could have been feeling sorry for herself and her life, but instead she tried to find something to be glad about in every situation. Now that’s the spirit!

This is not a quick fix and I will caution you that it does not happen overnight.

But as you start to make changes, better things start happening for you…so start now!

It will help you to write down any positives about money that happen in your life after you start changing your thinking.

If you keep track of gifts you receive, amounts of cash coming to you that you were not expecting, or someone offering to help you fix your car for free, thank your positive thinking

Do not dismiss these gifts as inconsequential

These are signs from God/Spirit/universe that things are moving in the direction that you seek.

If you keep track of all of these events and then look back on them, you will see a pattern of things getting better!

There Are No Mistakes When Changing Your Mindset

While changing your mindset is a fluid, ongoing process, mistakes will be made. Priority one to keep in mind is that mistakes happen.

Mistakes are not bad or wrong, they are just feedback. They give you information so that you can course-correct, and try something else.

If you are having problems with your blogging, such as a lack of traffic or no money coming in yet, that is a sign to make some tweaks in your process.

Try to resist making a lot of changes to your website at one time.

It can be hard to figure out which things are working and which are not.

Make one change at a time, and monitor the result over a period of weeks.

Take into consideration what is going on in the world, for example the season.

Summer is a time for people to be at the beach or on vacation so your traffic may slow down in summer.

Same goes for winter holidays when people are busy celebrating.

Do not beat yourself up if you discover that you have made a mistake, just assess it for what it is, and move on.

It is imperative that you remain on your own side during this process.

You must be your own best friend, cheerleader, and advisor. You must make the decision to get up, brush yourself off, and carry on with this new information.

As long as you are on your own side, you will always have one person in your corner. So many millionaires stumble into wealth while creating something to save themselves time. They trusted their gut and moved forward from intuition to creation.

Listen to your own intuition when changing to a wealth mindset.

No one pays for your mistakes except you. Get used to doing all the deciding for yourself, and do it from a place of love and patience.

You want the best for you, right? Make decisions that move you towards your own goals.

Find Millionaire Mindset People To Hang With

If you want a successful wealth mindset, then you need to associate with people who already have that going for them. Then you can learn from them.

“You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with” – Jim Rohn

This means that spending time with people who are where you want to be, is beneficial to you.

Napoleon Hill encouraged people reading his book to start a “mastermind” group of like-minded individuals, so you can bounce ideas off of each other, as well as sharing resources.

If you can, find a local group, but if that is not an option, then look for groups online, such as Facebook or MeetUp.

An easy jumping off point is to find blogs that are similar to yours, and start visiting them and adding comments.

Get a dialogue going with other bloggers and try to make some kind of connection. Read the “About Me” of your fellow blogger, and see if you have things in common (aside from blogging).

They may be able to give you some tips or tricks that they have used to increase traffic. This is better than just reading articles on the internet on ways to increase your stats.

You can also observe how their site measures up to yours.

Are they using more compelling post titles? Are their posts a lot longer than yours…or shorter?

After you have an established relationship with some of your compatriots, ask them to write a guest post.

If they are successful with their blogs, some of their traffic will likely come to your site to read the post. Hopefully you can gain some traffic and perhaps sales that way.

If your new blogger friends offer criticism, take it at face value.

Remember that you are responsible for what is happening on your blog. Again, I would caution not to make too many changes at one time, regardless of who is suggesting the change.

Conclusion

I hope this has been helpful. I know for myself, that working on making my own mindset more positive has helped me see that there is hope after losing my job. I was directed to start a blog and here I am! Learning, learning, learning 🙂
