If your mind is set, you will be unable to change your mindset. For
example Christopher Columbus . . .
He was born in 1451 in Genoa, the son of a wool merchant and weaver. Do you recall what the conventional thinking or "Mindset" was about the shape of the globe at that time? It was believed to be flat. Not too many sailors sailed too far from shore fearing the worst. Columbus' mind was set. It was set for taking risks and exploring new worlds.
Columbus discovered the New World on October 12, 1492 at 2:00 a.m. He
changed his Mindset and we're still celebrating his courage, boldness,
and discoveries.
How you think is everything. For example - where are the obvious
places to look for new prospects for the products and services you sell? Make a list and go ask one of your competitors to do the same thing. Now compare lists. Hello - exactly the same. Surprise - surprise!
Now make another list and don't tell your competition about this one.
Make a list of all the un-obvious places you can go to find qualified
prospects. Remember this is an un-obvious list and it requires a new
and different mindset. It ain't easy but it is good. It isn't quick but it can be profitable for you. But first, you gotta remove the shackles on your conventional thinking.
You'll get what you expect - so always expect the best to happen to you. Always be positive and expect the best. Only one person has the keys to your thoughts - you. Put a lid on all negative thinking. If it's negative it's usually related to a past experience.
There are three houses you can choose to live in past, present, and future. You can toss away the keys to the past and future houses. You can't live there so there's no reason for you to spend any time thinking about them.
Put all your energy in the house called "Present or Today." When you
wake up in the morning and don't see your name in the obituary column,
consider yourself lucky and do everything to make today a "Masterpiece."
Expect the best in these situations:
1. You're calling on your competitor's best customer. Expect them to
be receptive to your new ideas. Expect them to give you 1% of the
business because they're willing to see if you can earn even more.
