“Gather successful people from all walks of life and what would they have in common? The way they think!” -John Maxwell.
If you want to know how to success online you need to start from your mind.
You need to prepare your mind for success.
One of the most important findings in the human history is the following,
“We become what we think most of the time.” -Brian Tracy
If you think about success and see yourself succeeding, you will eventually succeed. But if you see yourself failing, you will fail.
I am one of the Finland’s best chess players. I have seen that this principle works as in chess but also in the other areas of life like in the online business.
Success vs. Failure in the Online Business
When you think about your online business it’s important what you are expecting to happen.
If you are thinking all the time, “What if this doesn’t work.” “What if people don’t buy my products.” or “What if I don’t have enough skills.” Your thoughts will become self-fulfilling prophecies.
Probably people won’t buy your products if you don’t even yourself believe in them. The better attitude is to believe that people will love your products.
Compare if instead you would be thinking, “When will my breakthrough happen? Probably already in this month or then in the next month?” “I’m working so hard that sooner or later I will be rewarded.” or “I love as I’m learning all the time and improving my business.”
What do you think, which one of the attitudes will lead to a greater success in the online business?
If you are waiting for the failure, you will give up too easily. You will give up when you face the first difficulties thinking, “I knew that sooner or later I will fail.”
But if you are waiting for the success you will automatically work harder thinking, “I’m not working hard enough to get the results I want. I need to work harder and better.” (See Persistence Is the Key to Success.)
Failure is Not an Option
One important characteristic of the successful people is that they expect success. They are not waiting for the failure. (Temporary failures may happen but those are learning experiences. The ultimate failure is not an option. Temporary failures are the part of the ultimate success.)
They know that they’ll achieve what they want and eventually they will.
My friend described one of her successful friends. She said, “He (the successful person) always somehow figures out his way. I don’t know how but somehow he always manages to do it.”
That’s the point!
You don’t need to know the exact way how to do it when you start. Just believe that you will succeed and somehow in the course of time you will find the way.
Remember that success doesn’t come without paying the price. But when you are 100% sure that you will succeed, you will do all the required efforts and learn all the skills.
Create Your Success a Reality
Live in the way as you want to live in your dream. Don’t think, “First, I need to success and then I will live like successful people.” Start living your dream now.
Clean your office.
Wear elegant clothes.
Listen to motivational music.
Treat your customers as well as you can.
Take pictures that show how your success will look like.
Put the motivational picture as your background picture.
The point is, make the coming success as real as you would have already achieved that.
Think how your life will be when you have done it.
Think how you have helped and impacted the people around you.
Make it real!

15 Ways to Improve Motivation & Concentration
Choosing motivational Words for Success
I hope these thoughts will help you to success better in your online business. You will make it if you believe so.
But if you don’t believe, the game is already lost. I believe in you!
What kind of techniques have you used to make yourself closer the ultimate success?
There is this particular quote which I don’t joke with, it says – “Believe in yourself and there is no limit to what you can achieve”. I make sure to repeat that in my mind everyday just to motivate and encourage myself to move on and never quit.
Quitting is never an option for anyone who wishes to succeed in life, so the world “Quit” doesn’t exist in my dictionary. Quitters are the real actual losers.
Wow, powerful words!
They indeed are strong – powerful words because I’m seeing the impact it’s playing on my psychology. Every battle is first won in the mind before the physical struggle initiates, and if you aren’t convinced in your mind and determined to pull through, there is nothing one can do in the physical person to succeed because you are already defeated from within.
You have a good philosophy for life then! Tony Robbins and many other teachers say that success is 80% psychology and only 20% techniques. If your psychology is good, you are pretty much guaranteed to succeed.
Exactly Roope, they couldn’t have said it any more better than that. One your mind is built to succeed, there is absolutely nothing that can stop you from attaining success, challenges would even motivate you to put in more effort.
Thoughts are crucial for success because you will have what you think of the most. I have seen this in my own life. When I know for certain that I’m going to succeed, I succeed. On the other hand, when I have a feeling that I’m going to fail, I fail. It is best to just believe in yourself and have positive thoughts, no matter what situation you are in.
Powerful words. That’s exactly how it is.
You are very correct my friend, thoughts in form preparing and making plans on how to carry out your project. Remember if you fail to plan, you have already planned to fail. Preparation is everything when it comes to succeeding in any you do.
Hey Roope,
I completely agree with you that the first thing you need to do in order to become successful is to believe in yourself. If you can clear your mind of all the obstacles in your way, like self doubt, then you’re set to move forward with nothing stopping you.
