How to Avoid a Victim Mentality in Your Business

Today I have a very special episode for you!  Preston Pugmire, a life coach and host of the “Next Level Life” podcast, joins me to talk about the deep inner work of mindset transformation and moving away from a victim mentality in our life and business.

Mindset is more important than strategy when it comes to success as an entrepreneur

Most network marketers have the issue we call “victim mentality.”

But what happens when we look at every single aspect of our life and say, “I’m no longer going to be a victim in my business.  I am no longer going to be a victim in my marriage.  I am no longer going to be a victim to my finances.”?

We often focus on the gaps that exist in achieving success.  We look for what we accuse.  What we can embrace as an excuse for NOT being successful in an area of life.

We always think that we’re missing some strategy or quick fix that will actually create the success we crave.  However, what’s really holding us back is the fact that we embrace these excuses that allow us to be a victim in the first place!

Once we shift our mindset and not seek these excuses, we win the battle!  The strategy, tactic, action, or method will come along.  But, it’s the mindset shift that is the most important component in achievement!

So stay tuned as we’re going to discuss more about mindset transformation, surrender and success, and some very powerful insights from Preston about the issues of victim mentality.
