#4 - Cultivating an Abundance Mindset

Girl Makes Fire: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

In episode 4, I'm sticking with my plan to introduce the broad themes that I'll be returning to over the course of this podcast.
Today we take a deeper look at the role of your mindset as it pertains to how things operate in your business.

You’ve likely seen and heard the word “mindset” a lot. It is a very buzzy word in the world of online marketing and entrepreneurship.
But what does it actually mean?

Your mindset shapes your perception of challenges and opportunities.

When we adapt an abundance mindset or positive mental outlook, it helps to maintain resilience in the face of challenges or setbacks, seeing them as learning experiences rather than failures.

An abundance mindset helps you to overcome obstacles by focusing on solutions. It can help you to see peers in your industry as connections rather than competition and build relationships which drive success. It can help you foster creativity, embrace problem-solving and adapt to changing circumstances.

Ultimately, these things can lead to greater success and fulfillment on your entrepreneurial journey.

Highlights from today’s episode include:

• A clear definition of mindset and how it shapes your reality
• The story of how I managed to land a mobile food vending permit in a back alley in Queens (and why you shouldn’t do this!)
• Three tips on how to get yourself into an abundance mindset even when you’re dealing with harsh rejection, overwhelming challenge or true disappointment
• A simple gratitude ritual that you can practice daily, weekly or monthly

No matter what challenges you face, your mindset has the power to fuel your success. Working on cultivating an abundance mindset will help you continue to show up consistently in your business and foster true growth!
Here is the daily Gratitude Ritual to help you shift into this mindset:

In your journal, write a list of all the things you are grateful for.

Think of as many as you can, no matter how small, and write in as much detail as you can.
