Pearl 7: Changing Your Mindset
- One thing that I have noticed, since I started coaching other sellers on eBay, is that everyone has a different reality in their mind as to what is possible and not possible.
- Often, their mindset is one that is small, thinking that they will have trouble even making $50 bucks a day. BUT, the good news is when you have faith in what you are doing and are persistant, you will find yourself reaching the goals in your mind and discover that that $50 a day wasn't really as hard as you thought.
- As this process keeps going, it will change from $50/day to $200/day to $500/day..
- What is silly about our human nature is that we do not even notice that we are not thinking that that $200 a day is now impossible in our mind, even though, two months ago, it was the $50 a day was impossible.
- If we open our mind up a little, we will realize that we are just making the limits ourselves. If you can make $50/day and then can make $200/day, why can't you make $1000/day? What is stopping you?
- So, you can see from this process that actually $1000 a day is possible, you just need to figure out how to make it happen.
- Again notice, it is your mindset that puts these limits on what happens. Of course, if you don't believe you can't make $1000/day, it is 99.9% likely you will never make that much money. But, if you do believe you can make $1000/day and you are persistant in reaching for that goal, it is very likely, you could reach it.
- In the Olympics, before the 1950's, there was a belief that no man could ever break the 4 minute barrier for the mile run. But in 1954, Sir Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute barrier, by completing a mile in 3:59.4. AMAZINGLY, several other athletes broke the 4 minute barrier soon thereafter. Why? What caused these athletes to break the 4 minute barrier so easily after believing for so long that it was impossible? It was because of one man breaking the record it changed their mindset.
- This proves that if you believe something like I can not make $1000 a day and everyone around you believes the same, you are essentially like these atheletes who told themselves they would never break the 4 minute mile. So, faith can work for or against you depending on where you place it.
- Can you imagine Donald Trump being stripped of all of his wealth and businesses? Do you think he would never be able to come back to where he is right now? Would he tell himself he can not make $1000 a day? Of course not. He would likely be back in action in no time.
