It's all about the mindset. We all have something that we are very good at. For me it was martial arts. Although I do have a black belt I will spare trying to impress you with various degrees or what not. Please don't challenge me I'm 56 and quite frankly don't feel like fighting anyways. If it will help your ego, I concede. When I was studying years ago I stumbled across a book named "Mind Power". It basically promoted visualization and different techniques for programming your mind. It stated in the book that baroque classical music was ideal for putting your mind in the Alpha state of relaxation which is the best state for programming your mind. Well this was the early 90's or late 80's I forget which but it was cassette tapes back then so I made a tape. The tape had me saying my Karate techniques on it with baroque classical music in the back round. To earn your black belt you had to know inside out roughly 400 or so Karate techniques about 20 Katas (series of techniques grouped together for those who don't know) and fight about 3 other black belts 2nd degree and above with my instructor who at the time was a 8th degree black belt last. I thought about day and night passing my test and constantly visualized doing it. Well passing it was a breeze (knowledge wise) although I won't call the fighting a breeze. After doing all of the techniques and katas, some of them several times I felt like a wet noodle. An average size child probably would have given me a hard time but the point was to keep fighting no matter how tired you were. I'm just saying all of this to say I developed the mindset by constantly focusing on my objective. You can and should apply the same mindset to your business. For some reason it didn't happen right off for my business like it did for me in the martial arts. I had read many books and looked at many videos flooding my mind with success materials. You have to keep feeding your mind because you don't know where the breakthrough will come from. You may read the same material from several different authors but one author may trigger what the other authors don't. Well for me it was from an author named Caterine Ponder and the book is named: The Dynamic Laws of Prayer. She has several books that are good but that one put me in the stratosphere. Since finishing that book I have come across a business model that that I've grown that generates over 10k a month on what seems like little to no work, and it seems like every opportunity that works comes my way. I submit to you it's not that the opportunities work now. I work now, so to say. Work on your mindset and the money will follow.
