Killing the Scarcity Mindset

By: ActionCOACH Team

Date: 01 / 11 / 2024

Having a scarcity mindset means that you fear losing everything and that there is only a certain amount of success available in the world. It can make you shy away from taking risks and make you generally miserable. But, it’s a habit. And like most habits, it can be changed.

1. Make the Decision

Changing your scarcity mindset is a process. The first step of that process is deciding that you want to change. Break your goals down into snackable chunks.

You also have to acknowledge that your former mindset was not working for you, and was, in fact, holding you back. Tell yourself that you’re tired of worrying about problems popping up with your business, and reassure yourself that when they do, you’ll find a way to handle it. Your new mantra is abundance. Everything abundance.

2. Don’t Stray from the Path

Most entrepreneurs already have an abundance mindset, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get knocked off of the straight and narrow. Stay focused. Keep working toward your goal, even when failures and setbacks abound. Even an optimistic outlook doesn’t guarantee that you won’t need to swim against the stream from time to time.

3. Contemplate the Obstacles

Having an abundance mindset doesn’t mean bad things don’t happen, and it doesn’t mean that obstacles won’t pop up. With your new mindset, you must anticipate potential problems and strategize how to overcome them.

4. Good Habits-Get Some

Create strong goals and employ the habits that will help you reach those goals. Networking is a key tool in your toolbox of building a community. Once you have an abundance mindset, the world is yours.

Reason #1: Different styles and methods of business coaching don't work for everyone

It's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Every individual brings their own experiences and values to the coaching dynamic, so results will vary. Additionally, some individuals might need more than just a coach. They might also need specialised knowledge or communication strategies specific to their industry or target audience. Below are a few key factors to consider:

Reason #2: There is no clear focus or vision (talk about time dedication here too)

cIt's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Business coaching is an effective tool for developing a clearer focus and vision for growing your business. A good coach will help you to take a comprehensive look at your strengths, weaknesses, and available resources that can be used to reach those goals. They will also help you draw up action plans with step-by-step instructions to get there.

By providing honest feedback and being patient throughout the process, a business coach can make sure that you’re on the right track. This will enable you to set realistic milestones and tasks.

These tasks may need dedicated time outside of coaching sessions. For example, a coach might help a client develop a marketing strategy or implement new systems for managing employees. However, if the client does not have enough time to devote to these tasks outside of coaching sessions, progress will likely stall.

Both the coach and the client must have enough time available to reflect on past experiences, brainstorm new solutions, and test out different strategies. If either party is rushed or distracted during coaching sessions due to other commitments or obligations, they may struggle to fully engage in this process.

Effective business coaching also requires a commitment to regular meetings and ongoing communication. If either the coach or the client does not have enough time to dedicate to these meetings, progress may be slow or nonexistent.

It's important to recognise that business coaching is an ongoing process that takes time to yield results. While some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions with their coach. Others may need months or even years of consistent effort before they begin seeing real changes in their businesses.
