Influence Tip #4
If One Could Only
Wrap Their Mind
Around the Possibilities
of What They Can
Accomplish . . .
But the problem is, most can’t. Or at least won’t accept the possibility that they can create their future with the right mindset. I suggest they don’t believe it or they would do whatever they needed to obtain a shift in their thinking, habits, behaviors and even those who they associate with.
This is the fourth in a series of articles I’m writing on the topic of “Influence” or “Posturing” that’s so critical in the aspects of business success. This article will be on personal development and the role it plays for those who run a business from home or are otherwise involved in the network marketing, home business arena.
I’m sure you’ve heard it a thousand times, success in network marketing is 90% mindset and 10% skillet. True. You’ve also probably heard equally as often, “If you think you can, you’re right. If you think you can’t, your right.” It’s all in the mindset and attitude.
To be influential in your business, it must begin on the inside of you. There must be a belief system that says “I can do anything I put my mind to. I can accomplish great things. I can make a difference in the lives of thousands or millions of people”.
There’s many great books on the subject of personal development, but one I particularly like is by John C. Maxwell entitled “Thinking for a Change”. And it’s the change in your thinking that actually affects the change.
Maxwell asks the question and answers:
“To do well in life, we must first think well. But can we actually learn new mental habits? The answer is YES . . .”
However, changed thinking does not happen overnight. It’s not something you can take a pill for. It’s something you must want so bad that you engage in the everything purposefully thinking about how to think, respond, react, say, do, behave. Maxwell says,
“It’s hard to overstate the value of changing your thinking. Good thinking can do many things for you: generate revenue, solve problems, and create opportunities. It can take you to a whole new level – personally and professionally. It really can change your life.”
As you begin to reach a whole new level, your influence will be kicked up a notch. It will be evident in the way you talk, walk and respond to every situation in life.
As a bonus of doing your personal development, it can help you take all the years, how ever old you are, and undo the garbage your subconscience believes about yourself. Things like:
You aren’t good enough
You don’t measure up
You can’t do that
Nobody will ever listen to you
You’re a bum
You’ll never amount to anything
You’re always going to fail
You get my drift.
You were created by God with all the parts you need to be successful. If He planted a seed inside you that calls you to be an entrepreneur, He would equip you with everything you need for birthing that dream and calling you into all that you deserve and desire. God never plants seeds he knows you can’t birth.
Personal development holds the keys to taking you from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Without it, you’ll never fly. You won’t even come out of your cacoon. I don’t make the rules, I’m just the delivery person of this truth. Our mindsets must be right and everything else will follow.
In summary, people follow those of influence. Personal development is a key ingredient to developing your influence. You will want to practice what personal development teaches daily. If you need ideas or suggestions, I’ve written an article on that as well.
