We’ve heard many amazing things about the mind.
We only use 10% of it. Anything the mind can
conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it. And I don’t know
if you believe it, but I certainly do.

However, there is a far more sinister aspect of
our mind.

And particularly in these tough economic times,
it comes out to play.

It’s like our worst enemy that’s always in your
ear and won’t shut up.

You have a bad week and it’s sitting there
mouthing off to you, fedding you all sorts of
propoganda like…

“”It’s the economy”"… “”You’re going to go out of business”"… “”Times are tough and they’re only
going to get tougher”"… “”What if I don’t make
any sales this week”"… “”What if I lose my business
and have to go back and get a job”"… “”What if I
end up on the street”"… “”I’m no good at what I
do anyway”"… and so on.

I call this ranting the “”monkey mind.”" You see, our
mind is like one those “”crazy homeless men”" who walk
around ranting to themselves at train stations.

We criticize them because while they’re expressing
it outwardly, the rest of us all have this same inner
dialogue happening inside of us.

And no matter how much “”positive thinking”" you do,
it doesn’t disappear. It’s always there.

That’s the bad news.

But the good news is once you are aware of the madness
of your (and my) mind… you no longer take it
seriously.

So when it says… “”you’ve going to lose it all, baby”"
you treat it like a three year old child having a
tantrum and say to it “”yeah, right”" and focus on what
you want to create.

Make sure you use your mind. Don’t let your
mind use you.

Take control. Ignore its raving and ranting.

Don’t try to stop it. Just watch it… laugh at it…
and start focusing on what’s really important to
achieving your dreams. Tap into its positive strengths
such as learning proven new skills to get new customers
All for now,
