I had the wonderful opportunity to coach over 100 business owners for OneCoach, a John Assaraf company and one of the first things we focused on was how thinking affects a business. Thinking revolves around your beliefs, your habits of thought and communication, and how you respond to situations.
All success begins by how you beleive and the intentions that you set for your practice. If you believe and think that you will be successful, you will! Years of conditioning, influences from society, education, friends and family affect how we think and how we project what we want to have happen. The good news is that if we don’t like the results we are currently experiencing we can begin to change them at any time by changing our thought patterns, setting different intentions, and creating new stories. What helps is having a process for that kind of change and sticking with it until the change we seek becomes the new habit.
As the leader of your practice, how do you think? What kinds of thoughts run through your mind throughout your day? Do you have “stinking thinking” – a phrase a friend of mine in Florida used to use that always stimulated me to look at my thoughts. Many people go through their entire lives without knowing that how they think creates the reality that they live.
There is a great little book available that I have passed on to many clients and to my nieces and nephews as graduation gifts because I think it has great wisdom – you can get your own copy – “As A Man Thinketh” by James Allen.
The first step to changing how you think is to become aware of your thoughts and notice what triggers those particualr thoughts. Awareness is the tool to use today. If you want to know more, let me know! This might be the first step in understanding that a process for introducing other kinds of changes in your practice to get the results you desire is exactly what you need. The point is to begin somewhere!
Look at your level of success and if you are doing great – congratulations! If you believe you could be achieving more and you can’t quite put your finger on what it is, begin to become aware of your thoughts and conversation and send in a comment or question to take a deeper dive!
Remember – how you think and what you think can make all the difference in your day and in getting the results you seek!
Have a great day!
