Mindset Tips to Blog Full-Time

▸ Show notes from the creator
Let's talk about the mindset tricks of bloggers who’ve turned their blogs into successful businesses. Okay, so do you want to know what sets the uber-successful apart from the wannabe entrepreneurs? It’s not money, or brilliant ideas, or even powerful friends. All of those things (and more) are nice to have, but they’re actually not a requirement of success. What is a must-have, though, is a good attitude. Without the proper mindset, you’ll constantly be battling your own brain, and that’s exhausting. A simple mindset change can make all the difference.

What's up bloggy friends? Famous Ashley Grant
00:17
here and today I want to talk a little bit more
00:20
about quitting your job to become a full -time
00:22
blogger. We talked a little bit about it in the
00:24
Taking the Leap from Hobby to Professional Blogging
00:27
in a previous episode, but this time I want to
00:30
talk about the mindset tricks of bloggers who
00:32
have turned their blogs into successful businesses.
00:36
And P .S., that's the first and most important
00:39
mindset shift of being a full -time blogger.
00:42
You've got to treat it like a business. Okay,
00:45
so do you want to know what sets the uber successful
00:48
apart from the wannabe entrepreneurs? It's not
00:51
money, it's not brilliant ideas, and it's not
00:53
powerful friends. All of those things and more
00:56
are nice to have, but they're actually not a
00:59
requirement of success. What is a must -have,
01:02
though, is a good attitude. Without the proper
01:05
mindset, you'll constantly be battling your own
01:07
brain, and that's exhausting. You'll allow yourself
01:11
to believe your ideas are no good. You'll keep
01:13
yourself from hitting publish on that killer
01:15
blog post that you've been working on for who
01:17
knows how long. You'll be too scared to turn
01:20
your blog posts into a book or course that you
01:22
could get paid big bucks for. You'll remain convinced
01:25
that you aren't smart enough, that you're not
01:27
enough. You'll be certain that someone else did
01:30
it, whatever it is, better. And in the worst
01:34
cases, you'll quit before your blog even has
01:36
a chance to take off and become a massive success.
01:40
And before you know it, you'll have talked yourself
01:42
right out of launching your new program, applying
01:44
for an affiliate program, or even pitching sponsors
01:47
for paid posts. In no time at all, you'll be
01:51
back at your day job, working away on someone
01:53
else's business, on someone else's dream, all
01:56
because you didn't have the confidence to create
01:58
your own blog and your own business from your
02:03
blog. But a simple mindset shift, a simple mindset
02:06
change can make all the difference. So the first
02:11
thing you want to do is dress for success. And
02:14
ladies, this one's especially for you. When we
02:17
work at home, it's easy to fall into a habit
02:20
of wearing sweatpants and t -shirts to the office.
02:23
After all, I dress up just for the dog. And here's
02:27
the thing I have to tell you, I too am so guilty
02:30
of this. In fact, right now, as I'm recording
02:31
this, I'm sitting here in yoga pants and a t
02:34
-shirt. But if you're looking for a quick and
02:36
easy way to instantly shift your mindset in the
02:39
right direction, Just ditch the graphic t -shirts
02:42
and break out a nicer outfit. It's amazing how
02:44
whenever you just take the time to put on some
02:47
makeup, do your hair and put on a nicer outfit,
02:50
you instantly feel like a little bit more professional.
02:53
And here's the thing. I am a full -time paid
02:56
blogger. I wear yoga pants pretty much every
02:58
day. But when I want to feel more confident,
03:01
I add a nicer top, put on my shoes and sit down
03:04
at my computer. Just the simple act of pretending
03:07
like I'm going to an office instead of commuting
03:09
from my bed to my desktop sometimes makes all
03:12
the difference in making me feel like I'm a business
03:14
owner rather than just working on my hobby. When
03:20
you put just a little bit of effort into your
03:23
appearance, you might suddenly find yourself
03:25
feeling more professional, more confident, and
03:27
even sexier too. Okay, so feeling sexier might
03:30
not help your business, but it could be helpful
03:32
for your overall self -love and relationship
03:35
with your partner. Mindset shift number two,
03:41
never let fear drive your decisions. Too many
03:46
bloggers or would -be blogger bosses, they operate
03:49
with a scarcity mindset rather than approaching
03:51
their business from a place of abundance. Rather
03:54
than telling yourself that you can't afford to
03:56
hire a virtual assistant to help with your Pinterest
03:58
pins or use a paid WordPress theme, for example,
04:01
try reframing your thoughts. Rather than thinking,
04:04
I can't afford to buy that website hosting and
04:07
SSL plan, ask yourself, how can I earn the money
04:10
to invest in this business upgrade? So rather
04:14
than saying, I have to do everything by myself
04:16
because I can't afford a VA, remind yourself
04:19
that your hourly rate potential is much more
04:21
than you would pay a virtual assistant. Then
04:24
fill those hours that you're saving by outsourcing
04:26
with money -making tasks of your own. Simply
04:31
by reformatting your thoughts, you'll turn that
04:34
negative money talk into positive solutions that
04:36
can actually help you grow. These ideas are just
04:40
the beginning. But here's one thing I have to
04:42
tell you, my bloggy friends. You are smart enough.
04:45
Your blog is awesome. You have wonderful post
04:47
ideas. And once you get your mindset right, nothing
04:50
can stop you. Start treating your blog like a
04:53
business, and before you know it, you'll be making
04:55
enough money to quit your day job and create
04:58
your own dream life. Until next time, may your
05:01
page views be high and your bounce rate be low.
