Mindset + strategy. 3 mistakes businesses make. The Creative Flow podcast

Business mindset and strategy need to go hand in hand in your product business. You can have all the strategies in the world, but you also need your mindset to be on point to grow your retail business.

Business mindset + strategy

Listen to the full episode or read the abbreviated show notes below where we’ll cover:

  • Why you’re not being your biggest cheerleader 
  • Comparing yourself to someone else’s journey
  • Building a community of peers & customers to support your business

Why you’re not being your biggest cheerleader 

  • Your inner critic voice is so strong.
  • It’s on you to hype yourself.
  • Be your own cheerleader by working on your mindset.
  • This takes time, alongside building your business.
  • Find positive messages that work for you and you can believe.

Comparing yourself to someone else’s journey

  • Don’t compare to someone else’s middle.
  • Or another person’s work pattern – you don’t know their full story. 
  • Change the energy and celebrate someone if they trigger you.
  • Reach and congratulate them.
  • Work on your mindset and you do you! 

Building a community of peers & customers to support your business mindset

  • Surround yourself with people who get it.
  • Create a support network to cheer you on or to moan too. 
  • Who are these people for you? 
  • Mindset is equally as important as strategy.
  • Get support that works for you and where you are in your business. What is doable for you, and pushes you forward.

How to use these points to move your business mindset forward

Action step:

  • Create a positive affirmation for something that keeps cropping up for you. Write it so you believe in it.
