Mindset or Tactics: How Will I Know?

I've heard the entrepreneur Dan Lok say that most business issues are 70 to 80% mindset related and 20 to 30% tactical issues. I agree. But how do you know? How can you tell if it's a mindset issue, a tactical problem, or some combination of both? One of my coaching clients asked me that question recently and it's an important one.


Key topics:

✔️ I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can get sucked into the "always hustle, always grind" culture and still be broke. Intentional, strategic action beats randomly running around in a state of panic. 
✔️ Taking "massive action" is not likely to work out well if your mental monologue loop is filled with pessimism and sour grapes. This may also sound unfair, but it's true. I should know-- I lived it before!
✔️ Pay attention to how you feel day in and day out as you operate your business. Does every little bump in the road make you mad? Do you feel energized and revved up? Peaceful and tranquil? Angry and burned out? Do you find yourself having fantasies of escape or being rescued from yourself? 
✔️ Are you able to pay yourself? So often we focus on paying the employees or freelancers, paying the bills, and taking care of everyone else but are you able to pay YOURSELF through your business? If not, that is a major red flag that must be addressed.
