Hi,
Phil again with this weeks thoughts of Chairman Mao, so to speak.Imagine, if you will, Gardeners' Question Time on the radio. Mr Bloggs from Milton Keynes phones in. "Dear Panel. I have been trying to grow roses in my garden unsuccessfully during the last five seasons without success. They all wither and die within weeks, despite watering. Can you offer anysuggestions?"
The panel then asks questions and soon discover that Mr Bloggs is planting his roses at the base of a large conifer tree. They tell him that the conifer - a shallow rooting tree - sucks out all nutrient from the soil and that the roses are effectively starved. The solution is to hack down the tree, reenergize the soil with good compost, wait a while and try again.
Now I'm not a gardener but even to the most sophisticated urbanite, this advice makes perfect sense.Now every week I get at least one email from someone telling me they either cannot think of a product or a market area they can work in. My first thought is that this is perfectly true - they can't. That's because, unlike Mr Bloggs of Milton Keynes, they simply made a statement. It wasn't a question. Mr Bloggs did not say he couldn't grow roses, he said he'd been unsuccessful thus far, and could the panel offer reasons as to why this was so. My enquirer simply said he couldn't grow roses and this is a self-fulfilling prophesy.
What he should have said is, "what am I doing wrong?" Phrasing it this way means his mind is open to the possibility he can correct the problem.So, what's the answer? The answer is that you can't grow roses in unsuitable soil. My enquirer has the mental equivalent of a forest of conifer trees in his mind, a forest that has taken many years to grow. Every motivational expert will tell you that a person is where they're at today because of all the thinking and actions they have taken in the past and that is undeniably true.
This past experience of how to do anything, including how to think, is engrained and has become a mental forest that stops new things from growing. The solution is to clear the forest.The advice of my gardening panel would be to mentally clear the forest and add tons of nutrient to the soil.
The process is called mind-flooding.Make a decision to spend one month doing nothing else in your spare time other than filling your mind with the best motivational audio tapes, CDs and books you can get hold of. Get some CDs from Nightingale Conant. Buy some classic books such as Think and Grow Rich. Spend money and really make the effort to flood your mind with good news, inspirational words and wisdom. Spend time, every morning, every afternoon, and every evening listening or reading this material. If there is a motivational seminar taking place somewhere then go to it. Really go for it.
This flood of positive information will deluge the forest of negativity in your mind and replace it with new soil. You have to stop negative weeds growing again by constantly being aware of negative 'I can't' thoughts and replacing them with new positive affermations. You cannot, and don't need to self-generate this stuff. Just release the dam of information others have prepared for you.The object is to change your mind, destroy negative habits and replace them with verdant roses, roses which will bloom into your new life, and those very speakers will make you see ideas you simply couldn't see before.
The ideas are there, but most people are blind to them. Instead, what so many people do, is to think that they know all this, that this mental mumbo-jumbo is an unnecessary diversion from the real task in hand which is to find that 'special' plan or off the shelf business that will put some cash in the bank.
The reality is that nothing will happen to the situation outside of your head, until you change the situation inside your head.What I can guarantee is that by spending a month mind flooding yourself with just some of the fantastic information available to you, you will have a much more positive and optimistic view of your own future. This in turn stimulates ideas that were actually in front of your face but you couldn't see them before.
I perform a monthly mind flood every year. Sometimes I spend thousands doing it, and it's worth every penny.BestPhilA carbon friendly transmission.
