Keeping Yourself Positive
The
most important thing you do for your success is to take control of the
suggestive elements in your environment. Be sure that what you are seeing and
listening to is consistent with the goals you want to achieve.
Listen Your Way to Success
Listen
to educational audio programs in your car. The average person drives 12,000 to
25,000 kilometers per year which works out to between 500 and 1,000 hours per
year that the average person spends in his or her car. You can become an expert
in your field by simply listening to educational audio programs as you drive
from place to place.
Take Courses in Your Field
Attend
seminars given by experts in your field. Take additional courses and learn
everything you possibly can. Learn from the experts. Ask them questions, write
them letters, read their books, read their articles and listen to people with
proven track records in the area in which you want to be successful.
Get Around the Right People
Associate
only with positive, success-oriented people. Get around winners. As we say, fly
with the eagles. You can't fly with the eagles if you keep scratching with the
turkeys. Get away from the go-nowhere types and above all, get away from
negative people. Get away from negative coworkers. If you've got a negative
boss, seriously consider changing jobs. Associating on a regular basis with
negative people is enough in itself to condemn you to a life of
underachievement, frustration and failure. Associate only with positive people.
Get around winners.
Visualize Your Goals
The
last thing before you sleep and the first thing in the morning, think about and
visualize your goals as realities. See your goal as though it already existed.
Your subconscious mind is only activated by affirmations and pictures that are
received in the present tense. See your goal vividly just before you go to
sleep. See yourself performing at your best. See the situations that you're
facing working out exactly the way you want them to.
Feed Yourself Mental Pictures
See
yourself living the kind of life that you want to live. See yourself with the
kind of relationships, the kind of health, the kind of car, the kind of home
you really want. Visualize just before you fall asleep at night. The first
thing you do when you get up in the morning is to feed yourself mental
pictures. Those are the two times of the day when your subconscious mind is
most receptive to new programming, when you fall asleep and when you wake up.
Action Exercises
Here
are two things you can do, all day long, to keep your mind and emotions focused
on your goals and financial success:
First,
listen to audio programs in your car and when you travel around. Continue
feeding your mind with a stream of high-quality, educational, motivational
material that moves you toward your goal.
Second,
resolve to associate with positive, optimistic people most of the time. Get
around winners and get away from negative people who criticize, condemn and
complain. This can change your life as much as any other factor.
