I’d describe myself as a positive individual with an optimistic outlook on life. Sometimes too positive and idealistic!
I think many of my friends think I must be just a little wierd when I can’t fathom why others don’t share my general enthusiasm and curiosity for life.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not always on a natural high and I’m also a practical thinker with my feet firmly planted on the ground, as entrepreneurs you have to be.
But I am well aware of the `Power of Positive thinking’ and even more so the action you must take along with that thinking to see results. Even more creating that winning mindset – the hallmark of the most successful entrepreneurs.
I believe the reason I’ve led such a wonderful and lucky life is because I make it so by how I think each and everyday.
It definitely helped that from a young age I read my fair share of `personal development’ books. In fact I devoured them and took those lessons with me. I think I could do with a revisit as you should never stop learning.
Anthony Robbins `Awaken the Giant Within’ was key, as was Napoleon Hill’s `Think and Grow Rich’.
My recent post on `Reclaiming your time with a daily power hour’ was a good start to kicking in some useful habits again (full disclosure I have not managed to do this myself enough yet!)
I’d like to follow it up with my thoughts on creating a mindset that allows you really truly achieve the most you can with your unique talents.
So on a lovely sunny day overlooking San Clemente beach I filmed this short video to tell you all about getting rid of those limiting beliefs and replacing them with your own powerful ones.
Try this exercise
I’d really love it if you were open to trying this exercise (go on put away your inner cynic) and go for it!
Close your eyes for a full minute and THINK about achieving a goal in your life…go ahead, close your eyes for one minute and really THINK about achieving it.
OK, now close your eyes again for one full minute and EXPECT to get it. Did you notice a difference? When we simply THINK about getting something, our thoughts tend to be vague.
There are also two options…getting it or not getting it (winning or losing). But, when we EXPECT to get it, there is only one possibility…getting it (winning).
Try implementing this once a day for a minute and see where it takes you. I promise great things will happen.
I’d really like to learn from you what you do to create your mindset, and what success (in every sense of the word) you’ve experienced as a result.
