The Million Dollar Joint Venture Mindset
Having the right JV mindset is the most important element of doing JVs. Without it, you’ll find doing JVs frustrating. With it, you’ll enjoy the process and the fruits of your labor.
Mindset is very important in this business. If you don’t have the mindset of success, then you’re destined to fail.
Therefore, you need to understand the Law of Attraction, and utilize it to enable your mind, body and spirit to work in harmony for attracting and manifesting your desires and goals.
Everyone is capable of success if they put their mind to it, believe in themselves and take action to make it happen—even YOU! The Law of Attraction, when properly utilized, helps enable you with the proper mindset and strategies you require.
Visualization is probably the best means of manifesting something specific using the Law of Attraction.
In general however, you may wish to generate a type of energy around yourself to continually be attracting certain energies that will serve you.
For example, using affirmations can be very effective.If you want to attract the energy of
opportunity, then you could use an affirmation such as “I am the right person, in the right place, at the right time, doing the right things, with the right people!” This is a great affirmation for manifesting beneficial joint ventures and joint venture partners and is one that I constantly use whenever I speak on stage or at my training programs and retreats.
If you want to attract joint venture opportunities specifically, you could use an affirmation such as “I am aware of and open to unlimited joint venture opportunities, I am involved in the best ‘high-level’ joint venture opportunities”.
When you start doing joint ventures, it is vitally important you start seeing yourself as someone who is on a mission to add value.
You want to help others. You know exactly what your partners need. You know exactly what would be of benefit to their clients and you make it happen.
If you want them to feel something, you must feel it first. If you want them to see you as an expert, you must first see yourself as an expert.
