Your mindset creates your reality.

What you focus on, you attract into your world. If your thoughts are negative, negative experiences will show up in your life. It's that simple. As Brian Tracy says, “The law of concentration states that whatever you dwell upon grows. The more you think about something, the more it becomes part of your reality.”

People forget how much power they have over their lives. If you're not happy with your current reality, the best place to start is with your mindset.

You can literally create anything that you want, but it starts and ends with believing that it's possible. I didn't always possess the mindset that I have now. It took me years to recondition my belief systems so that I became a master of my mind instead of a victim of it. However, once I changed my model of the world, everything in my life changed as well.

Let's dive into the 3 mindsets that made me rich.

1. Long-term thinking vs. short-term thinking

A lot of people are living for today. They want to put their time or money into things that give them immediate gratification. Don't get me wrong… pleasure feels good in the moment, but it doesn't last. There is always a cost to inaction, and that cost is your future.

In my eyes, there are two paths that you can take in life – you can either avoid pain and live for the moment, or you can delay pleasure in the pursuit of a higher purpose. I'm a believer in taking the latter route.

Studies show that delayed gratification is one of the most effective personal traits of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment thrive more than people who give in to it.

Be willing to put your time, money and energy into activities that will give you long-term rewards. Today, I can see how much I've benefited from the sacrifices that I made years ago. This doesn't mean that you can't enjoy your life, but be mindful that you don't overdo it. Decide whether or not you are willing to do what is hard in order to set yourself up for success in the future.

2. Offense vs. defense 

Most people who struggle in their life play the game of success with the goal of not losing. They want to stay in their comfort zone and take zero chances because they are so afraid of losing money. This is a fear-based mentality. In a sense, they are all about survival and security. The problem with this mindset is that if you are only playing defense in life, you won't ever really win.

In order to win the game of life, you've got to have some offense. This means that you have to take risks and be willing to fail from time to time so that you can eventually score. A Harvard Business Review report found that “experiencing failure does lead to more richer mental models than experiencing success.”

Successful people play offense more than defense. In fact, they actively seek out opportunities where they may fail because they know that failure is a stepping stone to success. Their mindset is one of abundance because they know that there is enough for everybody. It wasn't until I started investing in myself that everything changed. That's what allowed me to win and score more often than when I made mistakes.

3. Working smart vs. working hard

There are billions of people who work incredibly hard every single day at their 9 to 5 jobs, yet most of these people aren't wealthy. In fact, most of them are struggling financially and in massive amounts of debt. I always thought that hustling was the only way to achieve success.

My dad was the hardest worker when I was growing up. He sacrificed a lot, but we never had money. If your hard work isn't getting you results, then what's the point? I've learned that hard work is not enough. The key is learning how to work smart, not just hard. Working smart is about creating passive income for yourself.

This is why I'm a big believer in building an online business. Trust me when I say that making money while you sleep is an awesome feeling. Not only does an online business allow you to reach more people, but you can also make more of an impact. In turn, you are able to make more money as well.

When I was first learning how to build an online business, I thought that I could do everything myself. Really what this meant was that I was afraid to invest money in my business. Eventually, I realized that this wasn't a smart approach to working. The smart path towards achieving anything that you want is to find someone who already has what it is that you want.

It may have taken someone over a decade to learn what they've learned. I don't know about you but I think it's crazy to try and figure out 10 years' worth of knowledge on your own. There are people out there who have literally paved the way for you to succeed. Take advantage of their knowledge and give people money in exchange for their experience. That is the recipe for fast-tracking your success in life.

These are the 3 mindset changes that made me rich.

Your mindset is a muscle that can be strengthened every single day. If you can master these mindset changes, there are no limits to what is possible. When you change your mindset, you change your life. What is the mindset that you want to cultivate the most?
