One thing that often gets lost in the day-to-day of the entrepreneurial life is the opportunity you have created for yourself. Sometimes you have to take a step back and see how the work you have put in throughout your journey has created significant opportunity. Even if I had to start from zero, I have learned how pick up my phone and find deals. This knowledge is an asset I created for myself, and it only came to me through time and input across the years. Even in difficult seasons, I am reminded and grateful for this opportunity. No one can take that away from me. It's important to reflect on the by-products your inputs have led you to, even in difficult seasons of your business. Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of fear and concern around the market. I've been experiencing longer sales times in my own business. But, in my opinion, it's a pretty standard expected market correction. If you are worried about the market to the point that you're questioning if you should continue your entrepreneurship, I want you to consider your vision and plan. I always say, "plan your work, work your plan". Doing this backwards will cause you to work off of the issues you encounter along the way, when you should be executing based off of your vision for income, time, etc. Most people don't have a clear plan for their business on paper. Ask yourself, "What does my business feel like in 5 years? What are realistic targets in three years? What are the measurables? What are the actions that move us closer to those goals?". If you have this plan in place, the market should not significantly impact your business. Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

One of my strengths in this business is building solid teams.  As we've grown, we have put great leaders in our team, which has brought a certain level of safety and comfort that has allowed my business to operate very smoothly. Lately, two of those positions left for personal reasons. When this happens, it leaves us in a tough position. We can either be upset and puff our chest out, or bless and support the people who have served our business for so long. I heard a quote that said something to the effect of, "How you treat your employees on the way in versus how you treat them on the way out is what differentiates you as an employer". This attitude, in the short term, has increased serotonin levels among the group. But, in the long term, these decisions will lead to more referrals, more people interested in working for our company because we treat our people so well. We have been gifted an incredible opportunity to lead and work alongside people, to learn and grow together. Eventually these people will come and go, and it feels like a breakup. But, how you treat people in your organization whenever they must leave says a lot about your character as a business owner. Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

Oftentimes, our mindset towards time is wrong. I see so many people coming from a place where they think time is running out. They feel like they are behind. They are trying to beat the clock. I've learned that time is really on your side. There is no finish line, so there is no clock to beat. Thinking this way will lead you away from abundance and purpose, and towards all sorts of negative emotions. If you can reframe your perspective toward time, it will become your friend. It is the one thing none of your competitors can hack into. It's an asset. Are you viewing time as something to be used, cherished, and spent wisely? Or, are you viewing it as something working against you. Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

Leveling up just means hitting your goals and achievements. In order to do that, you have to get back to the mindset you were in when you first started. You had that eagerness, the fire in your belly, when you were running after your goals. I call this "build mode". Build mode requires more work, but remember that the opportunities you have now came from the work you put in over the last 12 months. So, what you are building now will create those opportunities for the future you, the person you want to be.You have to remember who you want to be. The fastest way to achieve something is by acting like you already have. So, I'm not Clint, the $5 million entrepreneur. I'm Clint, the $100 million entrepreneur (in my brain). Everyday I am operating off of a framework of how somebody in that position would. You'll find gaps, issues, and places where you fall short. But that's the beauty of each day; we get to go out, learn, and try again.Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

I'm not the kind of person who always wakes up excited to tackle the day. If you relate to this, know that you can't change who you are. However, there are things you can do to get "out of the grump and into the groove" for a more productive day. Getting out of bed and making yourself a cup of coffee will do wonders, but there's a couple of specific things you can do that will help you get up and at em.  First off, glance at your targets. You are much more likely to achieve a goal if you look at it every day.My next tip is a "3x3x3": Three to do's, three meetings, and 3 things NOT to focus on. Then get to work! You don't always need an elaborate morning routine to feel ready for your day. Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

Through coaching and therapy I learned how to be secure and comfortable with who I am. The secret to living a fulfilled life is to be happy with who you are not content with where you are.  The boss, partner, parent and friend you are is what will make you happy. Insecurity is not a thing you make a decision on one time, we don't just decide one time that you are going to focus on your gratitude. Most of the time it's because it's not reinforced There is a stat out there that says that if you write down a goal you are 35% more likely to achieve it but if you read it allowed and revisit it every day you are 69% more likely to achieve it.  When we make big decisions, that move us forward it’s not a one time decision. It's an every day decision, let me give you permission, you are are human, there is nothing wrong, it may just be time to recommit.Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

After many years of therapy and self reflection and practice, I have learned that the big changes or seasons I go through in my life stress me out. I have mentors and life coaches that help me get through these times I have a new phase coming up with moving, and partnerships changes in my business. These changes create pressure and stress. My body reacts, I fantasize about these massive changes that need to be made to reflect the change in my life that will only add stress. My mentor looked at me and said "Why are you equating a season of change in your life with a season of change in your business? All these things are changing why do you need to change systems that are working?"  You need to be around people who are where you want to be and build a business that will serve you not one that you serve.  A season of change does not mean to change everything. You don't need to solve all of your problems at once. So many of us lump this together and need to change everything, we are only human and can only handle so much.Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

It is a natural condition to want to be better than yesterday.  This is a disconnect from your future self, you will never reach your goals with this type of thinking. I could do so many things but I had to sit down and ask myself if each event on my calendar was a f*uck yes. Was I truly excited and happy about each?  We often find ourselves disconnecting from our future self and tapping in to the needs of today. Evaluating success by the gap, the place you are not at at, will not bring you happiness and joy. Most people are already living their dream and have lost the fact that they reached that point.  When was the last month you planned to put yourself first? Plan your life, your quarter, by putting those things first. Delete those things on your calendar that are not an F*uck yes and add a few things on your calendar that will give you energy and happiness.Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle

As a coach and entrepreneur in this space, I talk to many people who I know for a fact wake up in the morning and don't LOVE what they are doing. Are you chasing your life goals or another guru's? It took me 3 years to get to the point where I decided that my business style was not where I wanted to be. You are in the wrong business if what you are doing isn't getting you pumped up each day. Burn out and decision fatigue is real; sometimes we push push push for seasons and don't give ourselves time to rest. If you feel like you can't find the level of clarity and creativity you may be in that position.   What happens when you don't have that fire? You don't have the creativity, your productiveness hits a wall, and you are in for a long and unfulfilled journey, you are on a treadmill to nowhere.  This is a pulse check... are you just pursuing the worldly things this business gives you and it's making you unhappy or are you truly excited and fired up about it? When your mindset and actions are not in the right space, not calibrated, you are not going to make it. If you are in the place of being burnt out take a trip, get outside and figure out why you are here. I challenge you to explore what will make you happy. Your fulfillment is what will drive you to your success, time and income.Click here to join our HappyLand Facebook GroupClick here to view our Land Acquisitions Bundle
