T Harv Eker: From the Inside Out: Success in Business Begins Within Pt.1

You have a business. What are your major concerns?

Profit obviously, new business and marketing most likely running a close second, staffing and keeping a great team firing on all cylinders will be up there, and of course putting out the daily fires that plague any company or entrepreneur. This list could go on to fill this entire magazine, and most likely the newsstand where you bought it.

But one thing that is usually missing from your top ten business concerns is an introspective look at yourself as the engine of your business. Not a review of how you look on the outside, but actually taking the time to look at how your mind is preconditioned to make decisions and plans on a daily basis.

I’ve spent many years running several businesses, but until I took the time to study the internal mindset required for external success, I had a ceiling set on what my results would be. It was as if I was pre-programmed to only reach a certain level of achievement in any venture I was involved with. If I got over that level momentarily, I would subconsciously underachieve to regain the success level I believed was my limit. Some of this may sound far-fetched, but when you really think about it, it’s true of everyone.

I call this: your Money Blueprint.

My breakthrough came when a good-hearted (and very wealthy) friend of my father gave me a pearl of wisdom; in order to be rich, you have to think like the rich. Do as they do, speak as they speak, act as they act. There is a recurring pattern of thought and behavior evident in rich business people. And, it’s their internal processes that allow them to reach higher than most. Mirroring these processes can give you the tools to achieve that higher level.

As I continued to probe this concept and observe the successful people I knew, I was able to clearly define certain attitudes, behaviors and reactions common among the world’s most successful people. I have put these together in what I call Wealth Files, 17 of them to be exact.

When I say files, think of it this way. You have an occurrence in your business life; say you have a week of amazing sales. Your mind then goes to that ‘achievement’ file in your head and decides what to do next. Your file may simply say ‘go purchase more of that same product that sold so well!’, or it may ask you to dissect the situation. Was it the product? Was it a new sales team? Have local incomes shot up? How then can I best use this profit to grow my business to the next level? What is that level? And on it goes. Do you see what I’m saying here? Your propensity to succeed is based on your reaction to situations that can either lead your business to simply survive, or thrive.

While I can’t possibly cover all my Wealth Files in this article, I’ve collected a few that I feel are the most crucial in business today. Continued in Part 2…

T Harv Eker: Act In Spite of Your Mood!

“I don’t ‘feel’ like it”, is a common chant we often say to ourselves or to others when we’re tired, not in the mood, or simply procrastinating. No doubt feelings are important and need to be acknowledged, yet at the same time, they often prevent us from taking the action we need to take, at the time we need to take it. Consequently, in the end, because we didn’t do what we needed to do, we tend to feel worse.

It takes courage to act regardless of your current mood. It’s easy to succumb to your feelings. But remember, your feelings come from your thoughts, and you have the power to change your thoughts. When you change your thoughts, you will change the way you feel. Instead of focusing on how you’re not in the mood, focus on the benefit of completing whatever needs to get done. Focus on how you’ll feel when you’re finished and how proud you’ll be of yourself for acting in spite of not being in the perfect mood.

Utilize the “law of momentum” which states that, “A body at rest tends to remain at rest while a body in motion tends to remain in motion”. In short, get into motion! Remember, moods are a product of the “mind”. The trick is simple: don’t think, just do it!

Train yourself to “get started” even if you’re not in the mood. Moods tend to quickly dissipate once you’re in action.

Whenever you don’t “feel” like it, check in with your current thoughts. What are you thinking that is resulting in this feeling? Then simply change your thoughts. Remember, action generally comes from your higher self, the part of you that is for growth and expansion. Inaction generally comes from your protective mind, the part of you that tries to keep you stuck in your comfort zone. When you act in spite of your mood, you are choosing to manage and control your mind instead of letting it control you!

So the next time you’re not feeling “in the mood”, either change your thinking or simply say to your mind, “thank you for sharing”. Then focus on only taking the very first step to get started, then take another, and another. One step at a time until the law of momentum kicks in. By then, chances are you’ll forget all about not being “in the mood”, and will be well on your way to completing whatever it was you needed to do…and feeling great about it!

Declaration:
I act in spite of my mood.

T Harv Eker: Balance – Take More Time for Yourself!

Most of us are busier than ever. Our lives are full of things to do, places to go, people to meet. All of this in the name of “getting ahead.” But there comes a time when we need to question “is this really success?”

Ask most people what they’re looking for, and chances are you’ll hear things like: “inner peace, balance, a chance to relax, and an opportunity to smell the roses.” In short, the antithesis to the hectic lifestyle most people seem to be living. As author Stuart Wilde puts it, “life was never meant to be a struggle.”

We need to form a new definition for success, one that includes more balance, more time to be with those we love, more time for play, and more time to nurture ourselves. The paradox is that the reason most of us work long and hard is so we can relax, play, and have more time for our loved ones. Yet the more time we spend working, the less time we have to enjoy the other aspects of our lives.

Few people, on their deathbed, have ever said, “I wish I’d spent more time at the office!” So why do so many of us “work” our lives away and busy ourselves to death? In a word, fear! The culprit again is the protective mind, the ego striving for safety, security, and making certain we have “enough”.

Certainly finances and your career are important, but not at the expense of your health, your inner peace, your family and enjoying your life. It takes courage to let go of our old struggle habits and create ways to leverage ourselves and delegate many of our tasks. It takes courage to re-examine our values and make our “self”, our loved ones and our careers equal priorities. It takes courage to take more time for yourself and maintain true equilibrium in your life.

EXERCISE:
List your values. If you didn’t have to work, how would you spend your time? In order to have more time for yourself, how can you leverage yourself? (i.e. earn money while you sleep). To whom can you delegate some of your time-consuming tasks? (i.e. letting someone else clean the house or mow the lawn can add years to your life and life to your years)!

Today adjust your schedule for the next month by designating specific times you take for yourself. Block out these times first. Consider them appointments and keep them as you would any other.

Declaration:
I take time for myself because “I” am a priority in my life.
