3 Positive Steps for Destroying Fear, Building Confidence & Big
Profits!
Many would-be entrepreneurs never get ahead with their biz plans
or ideas because of the big Fear Factor! They'd really like to
make some project click, but too many negative thoughts and
ideas hold them back. They worry about failure, legal problems,
family opposition, rejection and a myriad of other
possibilities. Here we will outline 3 things you can do now to
destroy fear and move on confidently toward success!
1) Take Action!
Action actually cures fear. Once you get in the middle of a
project, you mind will start looking for ways to make your plan
work. Inaction, or doing nothing is fear's workshop. Not doing
anything will destroy your confidence and those negative
thoughts will dominate.
If a net biz is in your plans, take time to learn some new
things. You don't have to be an expert on tech issues (experts
are a dime a dozen and you can hire as many as you need), but it
does help to know something about it. A little understanding on
your part can relieve a LOT of stress and doubt. Take time to do
your homework.
2) Focus On The Positives!
We live in a negative world, so don't beat yourself up too bad
if you have fallen into the grove of doubtful thinking. The good
news is that you can get out of that rut! When it comes to your
biz plan, focus on the reasons why it can work instead of why it
won't. Whatever you focus on, that is what you will come up
with. It's funny how the mind works.
Since our business is teaching folks how to earn online income,
we did an exercise where we asked individuals if it would be
possible to take a homeless person from the street and teach
them how to make money online. The results of our research are
interesting!
The ones who were less successful said that it would not be
possible, that the person would not even have a PC to work with,
or an address to mail his checks to. They could think of every
negative reason in the world why our experiment with a homeless
person would not work.
On the other hand, the more successful folks (who have earned
income online) started to tell us all the reasons why it could
work. We could take the street person to the library and teach
them how to get online. They could set up a Pay Pal account and
have commissions deposited there. We could help them set up a
P.O. Box to get mail.
These were some of the same ideas that the less successful folks
came up with when we asked them "Well just imagine for a moment
that it could be done, how would you do it?" Then positive
answers came!
So get your mind reasoning on all the ways something will work,
and it will come up with many ideas for you. If you focus on the
negatives, it will paint a picture for you full of reasons why
your plan or biz won't work! Try it yourself. Have some fun with
it. Then focus on the positives for the rest of your life!
3) Praise Others!
It is easy to tell everyone what they are doing wrong. Seems
like that is what most folks concentrate on these days. We are
all imperfect, and you would never run out of material. However,
try to encourage others by expressing thanks for what they do
right. It will go a long way toward forming lasting
relationships with people.
When something does not go right, don't be so quick to complain.
Here is an actual email we received from someone. Keep in mind
that this is the first time we had heard from this person. What
would be your thoughts on them as an individual?
"tried to call at 7:30 CST, which is the same as 7:30 MDT isn't
it? Any way the line was dead. tried 3 times past 7:30 before
and past MDT. Dead. carelessness irresponsibiltiy is teh name of
the game. Screw somew over some how. hello arrogance"
(Misspellings and grammar mistakes as received)
Turns out that this person tried to call in on one of our
conference calls, but mistakenly thought that Mountain Time was
the same as Central time. No biggie, an easy mistake to make.
However, do you see how this accusatory and negative email was
going to benefit anyone? Would it make you want to do business
with them? We received several other emails from them - all were
negative. It's easy to see that this is a miserable person who
has a habit of tearing down others.
Don't let yourself fall into that pattern! Once you're stuck in
it, things can really get bad and ugly. Focus on praise for
things done right and you will win friends and influence folks
to do even more for you!
Many times the negative person as mentioned above will complain
because they don't understand something. Again, take some time
to learn. Once you learn new things, you life will become even
more exciting for you. You won't get stagnant and defensive with
every little thing that goes wrong. In fact, fewer things will
go wrong for you because you have done your homework. You will
still have to deal with inactive negative people, the world is
FULL of such ones - But you won't be one of them!
So there you have it, the big 3 confidence and biz builders -
take action, stay positive, and praise others. Why not start
today?
