Hello, this is Rob here from Rob cabin calm. And I want to talk about mindset. Now this is a bit of a different video to my usual ones where I get technical and talk about how to do things. This is about how to prepare yourself mentally for the challenge of content creation and product creation. So I'm going to start off with a load of don'ts. And then I'm going to go on with a load of Do's, you may want to follow some of these, you may not want to follow some of these, this is what works for me.

I can't guarantee if it works for you, but I think this might help you because it's about mindset, as I say, freeing up the mind so you can be more creative and productive. So let's get going. So stop having a go at yourself. Don't have a goat yourself. We all want to follow are self imposed rules, but sometimes we fall short of it. And that happens.

It's okay. When it happens to you don't have a go at yourself. Just carry on, keep going. Don't watch TV. So you don't watch news on the TV. But don't watch game shows, chat shows or any other TV that is unimportant.

Don't buy or read newspapers, just like news on the TV. This is just one person's opinion about the bad things that are happening in the world. It's not relevant to you. You can't do anything about it. So don't bother with that. Lose your friends.

Okay, maybe not all of them. But have you got some friends that are just using you as a sounding board for their negative problems and negative energy, lose them. It will free up time creativity and productivity in yourself. Blame don't blame anyone or anything at all. happen. Use your creativity to solve problems.

Instead, blaming is just negative energy and it will stop you fulfilling your goals. Don't judge people. I know we've all done it. We see someone walking down the street and think, Oh, she hasn't exercised enough. Oh, he's had too much pizza. We've all done it.

Try not to judge people. Try not to make judgments about situations. Just concentrate on yourself and what you have to do. Don't complain. Now you can't judge you can't blame so you can't really complain about anything. I used to spend a lot of time when an airline lost my luggage, writing emails, making complaints, trying to get a little bit of money back.

Was it worth it? No. Lot of negative energy, a lot of wasted time. Don't complain. So we can't blame judge or complain. I'm going to say don't get jealous.

This is something I used to do an awful lot. It To see someone making a lot of money online, and I would say that guy, he's not really doing it right. He's calling people out of money, feeling jealous about other people's success. It's something that's happened to me a lot. I do it less nowadays, and I'm sure that's helped. So try not to feel jealous about anyone.

Just concentrate on yourself and keep that goal in mind. Don't say seated for more than 20 minutes. You still at your desk for more than 20 minutes, get up and walk around. Do something else, go back, start work again. Don't stay on Facebook for more than 10 minutes at a time. Don't stay on any link that you've got to from Facebook for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Try to concentrate on relevant quality content that you're ingesting online. Lastly, don't do stuff that you don't like doing. try and do things that you enjoy doing, rather than stuff that you've done. Like. So that's the end of the don'ts. Now let's go to the dues.

So now you've freed up all that time with all those don'ts. Now you've got time for all these dues. Now the first thing is to do something every day. And with content creation, that is simple is something like right 500 to 750 words every day. This isn't difficult, it should only take you one hour. At the end of two weeks, you'll have enough for an E book, a Kindle, a best selling Kindle, do five minutes of a video every day, and maybe an hour editing it.

By the end of two weeks, you might have a Udemy course finished. So do something every day that is bringing you closer to your goal. Secondly, do something every week. Like my blog posts, I find it very easy to write one blog post a week. That's because I usually write it in the weekend. I may be edited on the Monday or Tuesday and it goes out every week.

It's a good habit to get into, because ensures that your website is constantly updated with hopefully quality content. So do something every week, build that website, improve that website constantly. do identify 20% of the tasks that you have to do that give you 80% of the benefit. What I mean about this is the sort of tasks you put off doing, like connecting with an influencer, or writing that sales page or setting up that email autoresponder do those things first every day, see if you can get them done. Instead of bothering with the my new shy. Do outsource.

This is a tricky one. I outsource a lot now, but it's taken me a long time to get used to it. Source through oDesk and Elance the tasks that you know how to do very well at first, you'll find this easier, it's a lot more difficult to outsource the tasks that you don't know how to do, because you're not sure if they're being done well or not. So start outsourcing slowly. put a lot of time and effort into finding the correct guy or girl to do the job for you. But if you do outsourcing, it will pay off in spades in the future.

Do different things every day. Walk a different way to the coffee shop. Every day. read something different every day. Do something else. Go somewhere you've never been to before.

Just mix up your life a little bit to do something different every day to read Of course, you've freed up all that time that you're not watching TV, spend it reading, don't work. before you go to bed, the best way to unwind before you go to sleep is to spend half an hour reading, do exercise, it's very important to keep your body active. I try to do at least 20 minutes three times a week, do exercise. Try and keep your body active. Do be grateful. wake up every morning and find something to be happy about.

This is very important. It stops you getting into a negative ruts of negative energy. So be grateful. There is a lot to be grateful about. Be happy. It's really good.

If you enjoy your work, I make sure that I enjoy creating the courses as much as possible. So try and create content and products that you enjoy creating. I know it's not often possible there will be asked facts that you don't enjoy. Of course there is in everybody's job. But remember to be happy and enjoy what you do. And lastly, do remember to ignore everything I've just said.

Remember, this is what works for me, my do's and my doubts. Maybe you have other do's and don'ts, and they will work better for you. I just thought you might be interested in my mindset Reishi Of course, feel free to employ some of my do's and don'ts. Do some of your do's and don'ts but remember, don't have a gun yourself. If you don't do the right things, and you do do the wrong things. Just be happy.

Okay, hope you enjoyed that a little bit about mindset there. My name is Rob from Rob carbon calm. I'll see you in the next video.
