11 - Mindset Shifts For Different Levels Of Success

The Handmade Bosses Show

Today I’m joined by Sophie and we talk about the mindset shifts that we’ve had to make as business owners, for different levels of success.

Things we talk about in this episode:

• Mindset determines everything about your business and your success
• Until we are selling to other people, and start getting reviews, we don’t know how good we are and this can impact our mindset
• Your differences are your strengths, and you have to play to your strengths
• Focus on you and your business, and your USP (unique selling point)
• People will pay extra when they love a brand
• You’re not going to be the same person you are month from month.
• Plan in advance and look ahead for anything that could go wrong, and prepare for it.
• Life lessons and things you’ve learned from your business as you grow
• Overwhelming tasks that you ignore
• What are you neglecting your customers from by not doing your tasks?
• Are you doing a disservice to your customers by not providing them with your products?
• I am giving my customer a solution for their problem
• What value do you bring to your customers that keeps them coming back?
• You don’t have to do everything everyday.
• Pick 4 tasks to prioritise, and concentrate on them to avoid burnout.
• Hire experts if you can’t do something.
• Constantly develop yourself, grow and learn and invest in yourself.
• You’re the best asset in your business, you need to protect yourself and use yourself wisely.
• You set the boundaries for what you are prepared to put up with. Set up auto replies so customers know what to expect
• Let things go, let people go to protect your mindset
• Protect your mental health by refusing customers, blocking them, and refunding their orders. They are not your target audience.
• Protect your mindset and your energy.
• Change your mindset from I HAVE to… to, I GET to…
• You’re not going to love your business all the time. This is normal!
• Don’t make HUGE decisions on a whim. Sleep on it.
• Get good at listening to your gut.
• Have a support group for help in making business decisions.
