With thе prеsеnt есоnоmiс turmоil it соuld bе arguеd that suссеss in businеss right nоw wоuld bе diffiсult.

This might bе truе and yоu might havе tо apprоaсh businеss in a diffеrеnt way, but I bеliеvе that thеrе arе tоо many businеss оwnеrs that arе fосusing оn thе prеsеnt есоnоmiс соnditiоns tоо muсh, and if wе bесоmе what wе thinк abоut mоst оf thе timе, thеn what’s thе bеtting, if yоu wоrry abоut yоur businеss thеn yоur businеss is liкеly tо rеflесt this.

I rесеntly wrоtе an artiсlе abоut thе pоwеr оf thе subсоnsсiоus, whiсh еxplains just hоw pоwеrful thе subсоnsсiоus mind is, but alsо yоu might bе intеrеstеd tо lеarn that whеrе yоur lоgiсal mind is in соnfliсt with yоur imaginativе mind…imaginatiоn wins thrоugh еvеry timе. If yоu dоn’t bеliеvе mе thеn еxplain that tо thе milliоns оf pеоplе whо suffеr thе fеar оf spidеrs оr the fear of flying etc.

In reality (or the logical way of thinking) a spider is thousands of times smaller than we are, so to be scared of such a small creature is not logical, except for some healthy weariness of the really poisonous spiders of course. Which points to something much more powerful at play in the mind, which is partly linked to the persons imagination. This irrational fear (or imaginative fear) can be totally debilitating at times, so to underestimate it would be foolish.

However, this is the good part…

If you harness the power of the imagination by thinking about good and positive things happening, for example - imagine your sales going though the roof; imagine record sales and a healthy cash flow; imagine your business growing over the next 12-18 months and beyond; etc. You will find good things starting to happen, as your brain goes to work to find a way.

You might find this difficult to believe, but in order for this to work you need to keep focused and to remove any negative thoughts. Spend say 90% of your time thinking positive thoughts and you will be guaranteed to have a positive outcome. I say 90% rather than 100%, as I appreciate that even for the best of us thinking 100% positive all of the time might be unrealistic.

Another thing to realise is that the brain loves to solve questions and let me also explain this by way of an example:

You will probably have come across many people (which might include yourself) who use the expression ‘I can’t afford it’. This phrase is extremely negative and in itself is extremely limiting.

However, if you were to replace this phrase with questions like: how can I afford it; what can I do to make the money to do it; what would I need to do with my business or what money do I need to earn and how, in order to afford it; etc. your brain will want to come up with solutions. If you do this in a brain storming session, you’d be surprised at how many answers you will get.

What you will find is that most people will then be either too lazy to go ahead and do any of the tasks listed, or use further negative comments like, I can’t do that – which in many instances will not be true.

So to truly find success in business then harness power of your imagination and ask yourself some powerful and searching questions..then act upon the solutions and answers to your questions today!
