Only as much as I dream, can I be<br />

Homework<br />
Focus<br />
It doesn’t matter how much you<br />
know. How much effort are you<br />
willing to spend and how much<br />
are you willing to learn?<br />
Identify<br />
When you’re feeling frustrated<br />
examine the fear behind the<br />
emotion. Fear can push you into a<br />
fixed mindset.<br />
Inventory<br />
The words you use come from<br />
the mindset you’re embracing.<br />
Make a list of words to eliminate<br />
from your vocabulary. Embrace<br />
the power of “YET”!<br />
Monitor<br />
Keep a journal of your<br />
moods/emotions/energy<br />
vibrations. Intentionally choose to<br />
shift your mindset.<br />
Affirmations<br />
Choose growth mindset<br />
affirmations to keep you in the<br />
“zone” or shift your energy back<br />
to a positive vibration. Adopt the<br />
phrase: “Up until Now…”<br />
Accountability<br />
Choose an accountability partner<br />
to keep you on track. Note the<br />
difference in your business based<br />
on the law of attraction.<br />
