If You Hit a Financial Wall,
Do THIS
As you’ve probably noticed, I’m all about practical advice that
you can implement in your business to increase profits.
Stuff like, “Do
Steps A, B and C, and you should see sales increase.”
But I want to be
candid with you for a moment and talk about something that might seem a little
“woo-woo” at first.
While building and
growing a business, following steps that someone else has lined out for you
doesn’t always work out. And it’s not necessarily because those steps don’t
work, either.
100 people could
have been handed Jeff Bezos plan for starting a company like Amazon. Do you
think all 100 would have succeeded? Probably not. Obviously, it’s not because
the plan was bad – we know it was a great plan that made him the richest man in
the world.
But there are an
almost infinite number of roadblocks along the way that may or may not cause
difficulties along the way.
And it’s how we
deal with those roadblocks – both in the real world and in our minds – that
determines if we get to move ahead or we get run off the road.
You can have the
best plan EVER, and if YOU are not psychologically in the right place to implement
that plan, then odds are you will fail.
I’m not a psychologist. I can’t give you the technical talk on why this
is true. But I’ve seen from experience that almost without exception, your mindset
is going to exert far more influence on whether or not you’re successful than any
business plan can.
So, let’s say you’re stuck. Maybe you can’t get started. Maybe you got
started, but now you’ve hit a roadblock. Profits are not increasing, and maybe
they’re even decreasing. Stress is settling in. You don’t know what to do. And
it’s balling you up in knots to the point where you can’t see your way clear to
getting where you want to go.
Your first step is
to get clear. Empty your mind. Set all of your stresses aside so that you can
quiet all the chatter that’s distracting you from what might be some very
simple solutions.
The best tactic
I’ve found for doing this is to get exercise every single day. Take walks in
nature whenever possible. Work up a sweat when you can. Get your body in motion
to end the feeling of paralysis.
And journal.
Journal when you wake up and just before bed. Write down everything you’re
thinking and everything that is bothering you.
Both the exercise
and the journaling are scientifically proven to quiet your mind, reduce stress
and anxiety and put you in a happier place where you can see the solutions that
are right in front of you.
When you need
ideas, go somewhere quiet with a pad and pen. Maybe relax in your favorite
chair or lay down on your bed. Pose your question and then empty your mind.
Meditate. Breathe deeply and count your breaths.
Let the answers
flow into your mind. Don’t judge them, just write them down. Look at them later
and be pleasantly shocked to find you’ve found the next step to take, or even
the entire new business plan or solution that had been eluding you for weeks.
One more thing,
and this is where it truly gets “woo-woo.” Do affirmations 3 times per day.
Write your own affirmations or get them from the internet. Just choose the
affirmations that truly resonate with you.
And when you’re
doing your own affirmations, I want to encourage you to also say aloud the affirmations
that follow, regardless of your religious beliefs (or lack of religious beliefs
– it makes no difference).
These come from a
brilliant woman named Catherine Ponder. Catherine was a minister in the U.S. in
the 1970’s when the recession hit. Her flock was having all kinds of financial
problems – layoffs, declines in business sales, not enough money to get by and
so forth.
Catherine started
doing research and long story short, she began asking her congregation to do
affirmations. She provided hundreds of these affirmations over the years along
with prosperity teachings.
And the truly
remarkable part of this story is not just the frequency of success stories that
came out of this endeavor, but the speed with which many of them happened.
People who a few weeks before were in financial free fall were suddenly getting
new jobs, promotions, more sales, increases in business and so forth that
hadn’t happened in all the months and even years prior to doing the
affirmations.
I also received unexpected money in the form of a repayment of a
personal loan I’d made years ago. My old friend got in touch with me and said
he was sorry for taking so long, and he just felt suddenly compelled to make
payment in full, with interest. We are now friends again.
And I received a
business refund I didn’t expert, too.
Most of all, my
business started taking off like never before.
But none of that
matters. What is important is that YOU give this a try and see what it does for
you.
If you want more
Catherine Ponder affirmations or you would even like to hear her speak, just do
an internet search. You can find her books on Amazon, her recordings on
YouTube, and her affirmations throughout the web published on numerous sites by
her fans.
Catherine is in
her 90’s now and retired. And she is still considered to be one of America’s
foremost inspirational authors of all time.
To this day
Catherine’s work has a very solid, loyal following of people who are indebted
to her for her affirmations and teachings, along with the positive changes
she’s made in their lives.
Here are the
prosperity affirmations. Remember, feel free to change these to best suit you
and your beliefs.
