Entrepreneurial Mindset Ready For Success With Ryan Phillips [Episode 12]

Running a business can sometimes be challenging, to say the least.

Not only are you battling against competitors and the ever-changing wants and needs of your customers, but you also have to stick to a crazy schedule and play entrepreneurial superhero if you want to succeed.

It's not surprising that most entrepreneurs feel overwhelmed and exhausted.

That's exactly why, this episode, we're diving into the world of entrepreneurial mindset and how you can set yours to really focus on your business goals in a way that will result in success!

We caught up with Ryan Phillips to find out what brilliant advice he can give on driving your goals, overcoming challenges, productivity hacks, and inspiring lifestyle routines.

Let's see what he had to say…

 

 

 

• It really depends on what your definition of success is. Success is many different things to many different people.
• Ultimately what most people aim for is a certain type of feeling, like freedom or happiness.
• For me a successful day is all about growth and contribution, rather than having more money in the bank.
• That starts with a big focus on mind, body and spirit. I believe that achieving success is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics/strategy.
• A good success habit would be to disconnect from the digital world in the morning, instead focus on body and mind with exercise and meditation.

 

 

 

Although Ryan runs an online business, he spends a lot of his time out on the road meeting up with his business connection in real life. We were curious to find out why that was so important to him and what impact it has on his business:

• The first reason is my own selfish needs really, and the second part is about peer group.
• Selfish needs – My highest values are adventure, excitement, growth, and contribution. So, running an online business doesn’t always give you much adventure and excitement. I combat that by getting out and about and making it fun.
• Peer group – It’s so important to meet new people and form good relationships to increase your peer group. You become who you hang out with, the quality of your peer group influences us more than we could imagine. So, it’s important to make those good connections.

 

 

 

• I create a compelling vision for 3 years ahead.
• From that, I create 3x 12 month plan, then break it down into quarterly goals, monthly goals, weekly etc.
• Set a timer for 30 minutes and just start scribbling. The rule is that you can’t stop writing for those 30 minutes.
• You’ll end up with pages and pages of visions and goals which you can then break down into the things you want to achieve over the next 3 years.
• The ‘3 year ultimate vision’ will be 1 page of A4 then I write an extra paragraph for health, relationships, growth and development, identity and values.

 

 

 

• My morning routine gets me ready and set for the day.
• I always ‘plan tomorrow today’, so each night I make sure I plan each task for the following day.
• Ryan uses Trello to keep track of his tasks and plans. 

Getting started with those morning stretches already are we Kennedy?
