Idea Prison

Have you ever looked at someone huffing and puffing after running a mile and thought to yourself, “That greedy jerk. He’s sucking up all the air for himself!”

Have you ever seen someone chugging a glass of water and commented, “No one needs that much water, why don’t you donate some of it to people who actually need it?”

Probably not. Why?

Because you weren’t trained to think that way. You were trained to think that would be a stupid way to act.

You were also trained to think that people with lots of money are greedy. And then you were trained to want to have lots of money.

Do you see the problem?

Prisons don’t need to be built with bars, they work just as well when they’re built with ideas.

It’s not the market, or your competitors or your product or service that’s the problem. It’s your mind. And the feelings your mind is programmed to make you feel. And the thoughts, words and actions that are produced by that process that make up the reality you live in.

When it comes to attracting clients, your mind is your worst enemy.

How can you attract great clients if you think you’re not worth much?

How can you get paid a lot if part of you feels like you don’t deserve it?

How can you do great work if all of your focus is used up trying to please someone so they like you?

Are your thoughts even yours? Or are they just habits? Programs installed by parents, family, media, school, religion.

What good is Free Will if you never use it? If you just react to the world based on the fear, lack and other energetic programs that live inside of you.

Can you step out of your habits just long enough to see there is nothing about your reality that you can’t change?

Nothing about your business that cannot be reinvented.

Nothing about the way you generate money that you can’t innovate, recreate, refine and optimize?

Stand up. Go after what you want. Create it. Enjoy it. Never apologize for it.
