Unleash Your Inner Strength!

What IS the Power?

First, I want you to go back a look at the cover again. See that power button in the eye? Since our eyes are the windows to our soul, inside that soul is the power button to your inner strength! You can do anything!

Have you ever heard the saying “You attract what you think”? I didn’t come up with that line but I love it! We all have the internal power to make things happen in our life. We are in charge! Our minds are an amazing tool not only able to help us heal our body when disease strikes, but it also allows us to heal the way we think if we could only learn how to change that. I hope by the time you finish reading here that I have helped in some small way to change the way you think so your life will also change.

You’ve heard others around you make comments about not having any friends, why is so-and-so making more money than me, why are they making more sales than I am, why does my life suck?

Only you hold the power to change your life and make things happen.

You are the power!

Don’t fall into the rut of blaming others for what happens in your life. Only you are to blame if things haven’t gone the way you wanted them to go or if you haven’t obtained the goals in life you thought you might. Somewhere along the line you allowed others to sway you to believe that you couldn’t have those items or goals.

Things happen because we allow them to happen, either one way or another. One way or another, because of your flow of internal thoughts, you are attracting to you what you think. When things seem to go wrong, consider that it may be because that’s what’s in your mind - things going wrong all the time.

If you don’t have enough money to pay bills, you get more bills because that is all you think about! You’re attracting more of what you think. If you want good things in your life to happen, you have to make yourself actually believe you want and deserve good things in your life.

Let’s consider a sales position or customer service, for example. In order to get more money, first you have to consider yourself ‘worthy’ of having more money. Maybe you want a higher sales count which in turn means a higher client base…meaning more money. Only you can make that happen. Only you can go out and market your business.

Don’t blame others because you were down in the dumps and couldn’t get out of bed to go visit clients or stop in at a business or two and drop off your card and introduce yourself.

Power-talk yourself back up to where you need to be to produce the results only you can achieve. Only you are in charge of your life…so make it a good one. You attract what you think. Need to read that again? You attract what you think.

I attended a conference a long time ago and heard Zig Ziglar say we have to hear something seventeen times before we actually get it engrained in our brain so we learn from it. If I have to make you read that seventeen times, I will and you probably will throughout this book.

You attract what you think.

Need your attitude to be better? What have your inner self-thoughts been lately? Are you mad at the world or angry that another sales person has a higher sales count or client base? Whose fault is that? Know that it’s not the fault of the other sales person that your sales are down.

Watch what they do and listen to what they say to their clients during a sales pitch. Watch how they react with their client. Are they all business or do they know their customer and joke around a bit with them? Sales don’t have to be all business. That’s not what your client always wants. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying to lose the professionalism they may be looking for but it’s an ‘attitude’ that the good sales person has that makes them good.

Let’s look around your office. Are there employees who hate their job and everyone they work with? Do they use co-workers as their chew-toy to further their bad attitudes? Co-workers are not chew toys and the employee who does this also loses friends…and eventually their job.

But look further at that employee. Check their daily attitude. I’ll bet it’s always been the same ‘poor me’ attitude and everyone ‘owes’ them in one way or another. Every office has this employee and they have very few friends, but the friends they do have usually have the same attitude because…we attract what we think!

Look around and pay closer attention. Can you help them by changing their way of thinking or maybe just leave a copy of this book on their desk, then see if they change their attitude in a few weeks time…because that’s all the time it may take if one works hard at changing.
