Proper Mindset The Key To Success

One of my greatest assets gained from my career in internet marketing is the proper mindset.  It is said that your mindset is 90% responsible for your success while talent and skill make up only 10%.  WOW!  That is powerful.  It is true because when I first started this new career I knew nothing about internet marketing, I didn't even know how to copy and paste.

What I learned is that I have the power to control my thoughts and by always thinking positive thoughts and eliminating the negative, I could survive and thrive despite the obstacles.

   

   In his book "As A Man Thinketh", James Allen says "All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual or spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought, that's why to be successful, healthy and happy, it's imperative to master one's thoughts.  

   That is why it is so important to guard and protect one's mind from books, media and ideas which are not what you want to become.

In other words, "Whatever you think about, you bring about"   and, 

          Your Thoughts Control Your Life 

So how does one change or improve ones' mindset?  Here are a few pointers:

   1.  You Must Believe In Yourself.  "Believe in your dreams and they may come true.  

        Believe in yourself and they will."

   2.  Be aware when negative thoughts creep in.  Recognize the feeling, try and determine 

        the cause, be aware of feelings associated with the event and then replace the negative

        thought with a positive one.  "Change the way you look at things and the things you

        look at will change".

   3.  Look upon failures as a positive event rather than a negative event and always learn 

        something.  Remember, Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he was successful!

One final thought from James Allen, We do not attract that which we want, but that which we are.
