Whatever you dreams and goals, be them big or small, working on your self-belief will make the difference. Having this mindset of “I can do it” will drive you towards reaching success. To prove my point, here’s what prominent personalities were saying about the power of self believing.

“If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” – Mahatma Gandhi

“Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve”. – Mary Kay Ash

“You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. That’s what makes you a winner.” – Venus Williams

Many people everyday achieve what they believe. What about you? Starting today, make a pledge, “I believe I can do it!”

What are the keys to having an ever growing, ever evolving business?

There are so many things I could write about here, but I am going to keep it short and pick out the main top items that I think are very important after being in business myself for the past 10 years

1. Always make sure you are keeping up with the latest technology in your industry
People love hearing about the new, latest technology product or service. They want to know that you are up with the latest industry information and are giving them the best service, product or treatment available

2. Don’t have all your eggs in one basket.. excuse the pun
You just never know what is around the corner. What if you only had the one supplier and they supplied all the products for your business.. what if they weren’t here tomorrow? What would you do? How would it effect your business? The same goes for customers.. One big customer – gone.. This could be an absolute disaster if you don’t have a back up plan in place

3. Work on yourself and on your business – don’t just work in it
A business is only as good as the person behind it. You need to be the shining example; you need to be the positive, excited passionate goal driven leader, guiding your team to the Big GOAL! You need to have a PLAN, have GOALS and be working towards them. You need to be testing and measuring everything you do, and if it is not working, change it. Most people get too busy and forget about the planning part of their business, but it is really just as, if not more, important than the action.. (What if you weren’t planned ahead and didn’t order the buns for the burgers? This would effect your ACTION in making and selling the burgers, Right?)

4. Be Positive.. Enjoy what you do
It comes back to the BE DO HAVE principle. You need to be the person you want to become, and do the things that person would do, to have the things that you want to have. So be happy, be positive, focus on your goals, do affirmations and visualize your dreams as reality

5. Market.. Be Seen
You need to get your business seen. To market your business doesn’t mean you have to spend thousands of dollars on marketing campaigns; there are so many free ways to do this now through Social Media and the Internet. All you need is the right information and you will become a professional marketer easily and quickly.

I would love to hear any other ideas you have to add to this list..

Most people get up everyday and do the same routine; they eat the same thing for breakfast, drive the same way to work, eat the same thing for lunch, drive the same way home, hop into bed the at same time and then do it all over again, again and again. Basically living inside their box, not wanting to deter from what is comfortable, what is safe.

The main problem with this is there is a universal law in life… you are either evolving or you are dissolving! Nothing ever stays the same.

So if you are doing the same thing day in and day out and you are not changing, not growing, not evolving… guess which way your life is going? Yep, Dissolving.

Now I know no one would choose for their life to dissolve on purpose, most people are doing this by default, as they don’t realize that if you are not improving, growing and learning that things don’t stay the same. You will find that these people seem to also find themselves always having large adversities thrown at them, things that hit them for a six… which, because they aren’t prepared, often send them further down the hole.

To ensure that you are always evolving in life and not dissolving, keep in mind the following things…

• Change it up… get up earlier, go to bed later, drive to work a different way… do something spontaneous
• Use personal development to work on your mindset… always look for ways to improve yourself
• Mastermind with others, throw ideas around, take ideas and advise from others

 
Do what you can to help others get off the treadmill of life! Have some fun! There is no better time than now!

Are you happy with the way your life is right now? Do you focus consistently on the things in your life that aren’t going in the way you want them too? Are you contently telling ‘your story’ to everyone that will listen? Then you are not in the place of happiness and gratitude.

I hear you say, “Well I am not happy and grateful because I still haven’t GOT the things that will make me happy…” And this is the whole point. The Law of Attraction is a powerful law… The trick with it is that it won’t bring you the opposite… So if you are in the place of hate, annoyance and stressed and thinking about all the things that you want and telling stories about the things that you don’t have… then you will attract more of the lack; of the things that you don’t want.

It comes back to the saying of FAKE it till you MAKE it… You need to lead your mind into thinking that you have all the things that you want… And giving it positive feelings towards what you currently have. You need to be grateful for the things in your life now, so that you can attract more things to be grateful for.

A great tool here is to write a list of I AM’s

I AM’s are to be written in the present as though the goal has already been received.

Eg. I AM an inspiration to others or I AM a successful Entrepreneur

Another tool is to write a list of things that you are grateful for:

Eg. I am happy & grateful for the beautiful car I drive; I am happy & grateful for my well behaved children

Then in order to use your I AM’s and your I am Happy and Grateful’s you should read these over and over and over. What is this going to do? It is going to lead your sub conscious mind to believe you are these things and it will present the opportunities to you to help you achieve them!

Love is an interesting concept. While we may think of love as a positive emotion, true love involves no emotion at all. Love is unconditional. If love was a positive emotion, then according to universal law, it would have an opposite negative. We may call this hate I guess. But classing love as the opposite to hate takes away its unconditionality! It is no longer PURE. Maybe when we think of that positive emotion that we sometimes incorrectly call love, we really mean Lust or Desire – something we want, and something we want to hold on to because it makes us FEEEEEEEEL GOOOOOOOD.

The beautiful thing about TRUE PURE LOVE is that it exists without an opposite. It just IS! It is a place of neither feeling good or bad. It does not apply to objects or other people. It doesn’t drive or hold back, we can’t gain it or lose it. It just IS.

So where is it then? This is where it gets so really amazingly simple that it’s so large that your mind cannot truly understand it. Your heart understands it though.

Love is at the centre and the edge of everything. That includes you. It includes the atoms that make you. It includes all the others around you and all the objects in existence. It is that place where you don’t feel either good or bad but you feel COMPLETE, CENTRED, EXPANDED – at one with everything all at the same time – you know that place. That is love. It is everything and it connects everything together as one. The fabric. Love doesn’t apply to things, it is things.

LOVE IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THE UNIVERSE TOGETHER.

This Valentines day, understand love for the brilliance of what it is. We all have it, we are all part of it, we are all it!
