How To Turn Your Great Ideas Into Huge Successes

The idea of a Mastermind was started by Napolean Hill, in his book 'Think and Grow Rich who said that:

"The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony."

and..

"No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind [the master mind]."

He also states that:

Analyze the record of any man who has accumulated a great fortune, and many of those who have accumulated modest fortunes, and yo will find that they have either consciously or unconsciously employed the "master mind" principle.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

Have you ever had a brilliant idea and then proceed to talk yourself out of doing it?

Has an opportunity ever presented itself and rather than jumping on it you find yourself making excuses as to why you shouldn't be doing it? Such as: I don't have the time, it's too expensive, or I don't have the money, or I am not good at that, it won't be very good.

Do any of these sound familiar? Did you answer yes to any or all of them? If so, you'll want to keep reading.

First of all, I know how you feel, I've been there too. I think we all do this, and sell ourselves short all too often. It is easier to stay in our comfort zone, and stay where we are. Just think what we can accomplish and share if we could move past our obstacles and limiting beliefs!! Well, let me reassure you that there are things you can do to change all of this.

How to stop making excuses for not saying 'yes' to the amazing opportunities and possibilities that come your way.

How to turn those great ideas into huge successes, without letting your inner critic get in the way.

1. Surround yourself with like minded people. When we interact and work with people who share our goals, perspectives and beliefs we are more likely to take action, and then continue taking action. It is natural for people to take on the thoughts and beliefs of those they spend time with.

2. Come out of your comfort zone. Trying to better yourself and grow both personally and professionally will change the way you respond to people and events. We get stuck in our old patterns and habits very easily.

3. Have a desire to be stretched. So come out of your comfort zone, and then do it again. Break out of your old habits and routines. Once you have done this, go beyond that new level.

4. Increase your focus. Try not to get side tracked by outside temptations and time consuming distractions. Use a calendar to schedule regular time for your ideal projects, and stick to it as if it were a client.

5. Stay on track. You have to know what track you are on and where you are going first. Then you can create the how as you move forward.

6. Be held accountable. Have someone to check in with and answer to when you are unable to meet a goal or deadline. And also to celebrate your success and achievements with you. This person can also help you work through any roadblocks that come up for you along the way.
