I just began mentoring someone that required some big picture thinking. She is fairly young and has some great goals and desires in business. I let her know of an underutilized resource of the LIBRARY. . .
I told her to have them hold Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad. I have read this book a few times but when I am coaching I will pick up the book I assign if it's been a while so that I am sharp and the other individual can receive the benefit of me being quite literally on the same page.
I realized the power of the mind in finances last night as I was re-reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. The book, if you haven't read it contrasts the philosophies of those who are wealthy and those who have little. It is an overall look into the two class system of Have's and Have-Not's. Jumping ahead to the point here. . .
The father that ended up poor when faced with paying for something constantly affirmed or calibrated as I like to look at it "I can't afford it". The wealthy father's response and calibration was "how can I afford it". The poor father constantly said to the mind when faced with a financial challenge shut down we are poor don't need to work toward creating the wealth for 'that'. The rich dad, while not rich at the time, had his mind set on do the work to come with solution on how we can afford that.
One mind getting increasingly stronger and the other weaker, one mind being challenged with a task, the other shut down and complacent.
The subconscious mind is like an amazing powerhouse of worker bees. It sits in wait for orders and goes to work immediately to follow through with what we send as orders. It does not discriminate whether the task is possible or not. The only time it interprets the task as impossible is if we feed it this order.
HUGE, this is so big, check it out. . .
The next time you are tempted to say I can't your right. Begin noticing this and just simply change the verbage around to HOW CAN I? Send your mind to work.
It is like Henry Ford said: Whether you think(the message) you can or you think you can't you are right.
