Take 6 Months Off!

As the summer approaches, have you been thinking about some well-earned vacation? 

Why not stretch your mind a little and think about taking 6 months off! 

Is this notion a pipe dream or reality?

Business is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy


Remember the last time you bought a car.  You chose something that you thought was distinctive.  Then after you got it you started to notice that you were seeing the same car all over the place.  Or, another example, try right now to NOT picture a purple cow in your mind.  What happened…. You are seeing a purple cow… Your brain has an amazing power to create whatever you focus on. It is called your Reticular Activating System (RAS) and it is like your personal compass.

Your RAS will find proof that the earth is flat if you want it to. In fact, it will find proof that November is a slow month if you want it to. In other words, attention determines direction. Just like the last time you said to yourself; "Do not forget, do not forget, do not forget... " And, what happened, you forgot. Change your wording to "remember".

And another example, if you were to ask a person how their day has been, and they answered, "Not bad". What is their benchmark on life? BAD, and today is not that. Your RAS is an amazing tool and it will find whatever you ask it to find, so you had better ask for very positive things. Remember to ask for the things you want, do NOT ask to push away what you do not want. It's also a lot simpler as the prior sentence illustrates.
Every day your business meets your true expectations. In other words, if you believe you have to work hard to make money, then that will always be your reality. If you believe you can never get good people then that will be your reality.  You generally make true that which you believe to be so.  So, choose your beliefs carefully.

Surround yourself with successful people, with positive attitudes.  And if you are really serious about your business - consider taking on a business coach.  Click here or call Joanne at 904-943 5247 to arrange a complimentary, no obligation discussion.
