Power Of Positive Thinking

by Brian Beshore

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 mindset 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.
