I’m starting to think that these self improvement E-books are an
integral part of being in business. I know a lot of newbies
limit their marketing efforts because certain things intimidate
them. They may have no experience of a thing, but just the sound
of it intimidates them.
I had one fellow write to me, after reading one of my
newsletters, and he said that autoresponders just terrified him.
Maybe someday he would get up the nerve to try using one, he
said.
Well, it’s kind of tough running a business without an
autoresponder and, the reality is, they’re quite simple to use.
In a similar way, many newbies are intimidated by seemingly
complex sounding things like keywords, and Search Engine
Optimization or reciprocal linking.
They will limit themselves to throwing a MLM splash page into a
surf exchange and expect that will get them somewhere. Later,
they will just give up, when they really haven’t done anything
at all.
Therefore, the mind-set of the business person seems to become
quite important. Is the person confident enough to try new
things or to, at least, learn about them? Will their confidence
come across to their associates and sign-ups?
I personally always equated confidence with preparation. The
better prepared and informed I was, the more confident I could
feel. It seemed a foolish thing to just have confidence without
the goods to back it up.
I realized that this was a double edged sword. The law of
vibrations comes into effect. If you feel confident, you attract
the right teachers and you know what to do with the information
you are getting. You then act on this information, rather than
remaining closed to it.
One time a student said to me that I seemed so confident and she
wished she could have the same sort of confidence. I told her
that no one can give it to you. You have to give this feeling to
yourself. There is no one person or experience that can give it
to you.
How can you do this? By telling yourself that you are confident
and practicing having the feeling that you are confident. Our
feelings are much more powerful than words and if you can become
like an actor, for short periods of time during your day, and
practice having the feeling of confidence and success, you can
raise your vibration and begin to attract good things to you.
Is this a form of self hypnosis? Yes. Why shouldn’t we use this
tool for our own betterment when we are being bombarded by it
continuously everyday by our society? Only the suggestions we
get from others and television is not positive or constructive.
They are manipulative and negative, as we all know.
In fact, I’ve heard it said that the negative, in our world, is
three times stronger than the positive! I use these techniques
on a regular basis. I listen to affirmations that I have
recorded and I use my imagination to create feelings of having
the positive things or situations I seek.
