What does it mean to have an abundance mindset?
I strongly believe if you want to live your best, joyful, harmonious and impactful life while you are on this earth then it is important that you adopt an abundance mindset and give up scarcity mindset.
What exactly is the abundance and scarcity mindset?
An abundance mindset is a view of the world and belief that there are more than enough resources for everyone and the universal pie is always expanding
The scarcity mindset is a view of the world and belief that there are not enough resources for everyone and the universal pie is always shrinking.
What Causes a Scarcity instead of abundance Mindset?
Most people have been unconsciously conditioned by their parents, guardians, friends and society to live with a scarcity mindset.
If you grew up hearing statements like “We don’t have enough… and we cannot afford this…” then the chances are very high that you have a scarcity mindset programming running your life and you make all your decisions from the perspective of not having enough.
How can you have the mindset of abundance vs scarcity in your business?
Start a business that you love
Discover your purpose and start a purpose-driven business that you love, offering products and services that help transform lives, while utilizing and sharing your unique God-given gifts and talents.
Customers
Know and believe that are more than enough customers for you and everyone else instead of believing that there are fixed customers.
They will buy from you because they resonate with your message more or they may buy from more than one person.
It is okay to have a polarizing message and attract the customers who need your products versus trying to have an offer and message that speaks to everyone and attracts and serves no one.
Cut ties with bad customers who do not resonate with your company’s vision, brand and do not respect your rules and values.
See Opportunities
Know that there is no saturation of a market. Just because someone is already selling similar products and services does not mean that you cannot sell the same thing.
Look at it as proof of market and concept and put your focus on solving problems for others, giving and adding value, creating and offering both beneficial and transformational products, as well as services.
Invest
Instead of shrinking your expenses to find money, learn to grow your investments by earning money and cash flow via multiple streams of income.
Invest money and time in tools, resources and hiring a team so that you can add automation to your business so that you can scale, serve, and impact more people all around the world.
Growth
Hire coaches, mentors and commit to investing in lifetime growth via books, courses and etc.
This will enable you to constantly have material to teach, share, innovate your offers, services, products and serve people in a bigger and better way.
Invest in your team’s growth, give them credit for good work, promote and celebrate their achievements and successes.
Create an environment and culture of trust, openness and transparency.
Collaborate
Collaborate and create joint venture partnerships with others in order to serve your customers in a bigger and better way instead of comparing yourself to them, feeling jealous of their success, being suspicious of their motives and competing with them.
Always create win/win solutions for your partners, team members and customers.
10 Ways to develop an abundance mindset
Practice Gratitude
A daily habit of practicing gratitude is the key to unlocking abundance, happiness and well-being in your life. Think or write in a journal all the things you appreciate about yourself, your unique gifts, strengths, relationships and all the other things in life that you have been blessed with to enjoy.
Take Responsibility
Know that you create your life from the inside out. Your outer results reflect your inner identity, beliefs and thoughts which then determine your feelings, behaviour, actions, habits, results and destiny.
Decide and create a vision of who you want to be and what you want your life to look like in the future. Focus on goals and small, achievable steps to get there.
Take responsibility for your life and business and do not blame others for your results and outcomes.
Create joyful, memorable and meaningful life experiences.
Believe that your life has infinite potential and possibilities
Train your mind to see expansion and possibilities for your life. Practice meditation and spend some time in silence in order to be able to become aware of opportunities and possibilities for you.
Try implementing different opportunities and know that there is no such thing as failure, it is only feedback for better possibilities.
Trust in the universal timing and do not get attached to the exact desired outcomes. Focus on the process, growth, building confidence, and a better possible unimagined outcome from the Universe.
Surround yourself with people and an environment that cultivates abundance
Seek and surround yourself with committed, self-aware, positive and abundance-minded people who can celebrate you, cheer you on and keep you accountable with your big goals.
Also, try spending some time out in nature and be reminded of its unconditional and abundant giving.
For example, the trees are always giving oxygen and never running out, and the sun’s light is always shining on everyone and providing warmth without ever getting depleted.
Share your Passion and Purpose
Increase your self-confidence and self-beliefs by sharing your unique gifts and talents and provide value by serving those who would benefit the most through your work or business.
Grow and expand
Make learning and growing a daily practice in your life. Know that you do not know everything about topics you may have mastered. Love of learning and resilience is essential for great accomplishments.
Experience something new and uncomfortable in order to maintain an attitude of openness, enthusiasm, and willingness to override existing preconceptions.
Take care of your body
In order to feel confident, happy, and abundant, it is important that you take care of your body.
Eat correctly and fuel and nourish your body for vitality. Sleep well (7-8 hours), stay hydrated, meditate and exercise daily, take some time to rest, relax, think, and rejuvenate. These factors greatly contribute to your mental/emotional health.
Do more of what you love
Schedule some time daily doing what gives you joy and what you absolutely love doing.
Time is the most important resource and the more disciplined you are in scheduling what is important to you, the fewer regrets you will have when it is time to go.
Notice the good
The human brain is wired to see what is wrong in order to survive in our past history.
The next time you have a problem, reframe it by trying to find a positive perspective of it. For example, ask yourself: “How is this serving me, or what lessons could this be teaching me?”
Say daily affirmations
Saying daily affirmations can reduce stress and shift mentality from scarcity to abundance even though it may not feel natural at first.
