You Are What You Think
you are what you think, money, goal, goals

 VISIT WEBSITE (learn more)

This morning I saw a short video entitled "You Are What You Think." I decided that would be a great topic for an IBO blog post. So, I did an Internet search on that phrase to get ideas for the blog post.

I was amazed how many articles, videos, and even books are out there related to the phrase "You Are What You Think." And they all tend to say the same thing: "That which you think about becomes your reality."

When asked what they think about most of the time the top 10% of income earners said they think mostly about what they want and how they are going to get it. Contrast that with what many people do by worrying (thinking) mostly about what they DON'T want to have happen in their lives.

The more you focus on the things you want and how to get them, the more positive and optimisitic you become. Now you will be moving toward achieving your positive goals instead of focusing on the negative things you don't want.

And you need to write your goals down. You know most people don't have written goals, right? I assure you every successful business has clearly written goals for the company. And, every successful sales person has clearly defined goals set for them by the company. And every personal success speaker and author tells us we need to have written goals.

So why don't you have your goals written down? Could it be that you don't know what you want? Oh, you want more money.....there we wrote the goal. But how much money? And by when? And what are you going to do with that money? And how are you going to get what you want? What exactly are you going to do every day to move yourself closer to having what you want?

Once you have them, review your written goals every day and modify or add to them when ever you like. Start right now to think about what you want and how to get it most of the time because YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK!

Here is an exercise you should try: define a relatively simple goal you want to achieve. Get an index card and write that goal on the index card. Carry that index card with you and every day for the next 30 days, sit down 3 times each day for 5 minutes and think about that goal, how to achieve that goal, and how it will feel when you have that goal accomplished. You will be amazed what you can accomplish in 30 days!

If you would like to be notified when I post future articles go to the right side of this page and sign up for my RSS feed.

Also, I encourage you to become a member of IBOtoolbox. It is free, they have a lot of free tools to help you build your online business, and they are a very supportive network of like minded people. Here is a link to join IBOtoolbox:  www.ibotoolbox.com/invited.aspx?jid=27157

Awesome blog Don! Our thoughts create our reality.. good or bad. Think and Grow Rich talks about this very concept when he suggest to the reader to concentrate on what they want, write it down, what they will sacrifice for it, when they expect to achieve it and for them to read it at least 3X per day.

Annemarie Berukoff   332 day(s) ago
Great exercise to help people focus on one goal at a time. You got to own it by writing it down and repeating it...nature of learning and training the brain's neurons.
