NEVER SAY NEVER

Hey all! Greetings!!

I was reading a couple of online articles today like I usually do. Secrets to success, how to make the most of your time, effective techniques of managing resources, finance management etc... while I was reading those, this particular statement marked in bold in an article caught my attention...

If You Haven’t Buried The Words - "I CANT", You Will NOT prosper. It instantly struck a chord in my head and made a connect.

As a working professional in the area of marketing and business development and an aspiring serial entrepreneur myself, (my dream is to own multiple business houses in various industries, and just like there are "serial killers", be a "serial entrepreneur") I completely and totally related to the above statement!

Think about it, If we don’t decide to eliminate the words “I CAN’T” from our dictionaries we just cannot progress .. and hence I think the above statement is so true!!

If you don’t believe so, try reading up on success stories of business tycoons online or ask successful entrepreneurs the "secrets" to their blooming and expanding empires - You will notice that it isn’t the formulas they produced or the many theories they came up with or the product lines they discovered.

Most stories usually revolve around one common point that determined their success - the literal stance to WIN regardless of the present situation or circumstances.

It is the eternal belief and the stubborn determination they have in them ...that emerges them as WINNERS...

How POWERFUL a thought is that!!

What if WE knew we couldn’t fail at all...? What if our success was already determined ? It’s the way we THINK about our current situation that determines if or not will we be successful...

Try this out.. Pick up a book called “Think and Grow Rich Through Persuasion” by the great Napoleon Hill. Or read "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Read at least 2-3 pages per day from these books and try to keep the same mindset you’ve always had..

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA.. It’s going to be impossible for you to stay the same..
The problem in succeeding in your business or any work you undertake is NOT ALL ABOUT the amount of leads you can generate, nor is it about all the new cool tools, blogs, and capture pages you can whip together in seconds..

Nope..

Not even close..

It’s literally about your "awareness levels"

It’s about how long you can stay focused without being distracted.

It’s about having FAITH to know that no matter what - you will WIN!!

It’s about tricking your subconscious into visionary success..

It’s about getting around people who are Big Thinkers and Super Doers.. and getting INSPIRED.

We live in a volatile world, so thinking about the future makes us more nervous, than excited. If we are left all by ourselves - we might perhaps eventually lose focus and quit.

Here is yet another mantra I read and truly believe in and would like to share,  that promises to increase the odds of us having a brighter future.

It says "Be a generous expert, trustworthy and clear, open-minded and adaptable, persistent and present"
I'd like to suggest that you commit this sentence to memory, or print it and paste it on your desk and that you do your best to live by it.

Let's break this mantra down and decode it for our better understanding.

1. Be Generous: help others long before you need their help. Focus on other people in a sincere and giving manner. If you do this well, when you are blindsided by events, others will have your back.

2. Be an Expert: become competent in one or more areas that others value. It also means that whenever you take on a new task, do your best. In a tough situation, you will be one of the people to whom others will turn to for help.

3. Be Trustworthy: take ownership of your words and actions, and recognize that you live in a world in which they will increasingly be recorded, remembered, analyzed, and replayed.

4. Be Clear: know what you want and to be able to communicate it effectively. It doesn't matter if you have the best ideas in the world; if you can't express them clearly, no one will ever understand your insights.

5. Be Open-minded: no matter how much of an expert or successful you become, never stop listening and learning. Even the wisest among us are probably only correct 60% or 70% of the time. When you start believing that you are always right, you are on your way to being always wrong.

6. Be Adaptable: keep your options open, so that when the world surprises you, it won’t be that surprising. Don't bet it all on anything, ever.

7. Be Persistent: keep trying, even when times are tough and you are tempted to quit. This will come in especially handy if times get tough all around, not just in your neck of the woods.

8. Live in the Present: learn from the past and be prepared for the future, but above all pay close attention to the present moment as it unfolds - otherwise, you will miss vitally important details.

But before you do all of the steps above..

Go and bury the words – >> I CAN’T

I Did and so can you..

Let’s Win Together :-D

Cheers!!
