Believe it or not … your self-talk wins or loses you business daily – it’s how business and the human brain works.
You have two choices…. Go for it and win… or hang back and lose…. What you say to yourself will likely decide. Here’s the self talk that will hold you back:
I have no money for it…
Likely I’m too old
I don’t have enough experience
Last time I tried, I failed
… or the self talk that will prepare your brain to leap into successful mode for a win:
I’ll get an investor or borrow what I need
I’ll highlight the wisdom from age
I’m open to learn and gain experience
Mistakes for me offer stepping stones to success
If you want to fuel your brain’s fire for a win … then consider Colon Powell’s advice: “Don’t take action if you sense a 40% chance of being right… but don’t wait until you are 100% sure. By then it’s almost always too late.
People are not so much born without confidence to win…. It’s poor business deals, cranky managers, and a host of other fast paced life experiences and demands that leave folks with negative self-talk which says… “I can’t….” Your brain wires to inner messages… just as it also wires daily to negative press which has you making negative predictions .
Call it baggage … but whatever it is … turn it around and your brain will leap into gear to reverse your situation…. Maybe it’s what James Joyce meant by the words: “People of genius make no mistakes. Their errors are merely the portals of discovery.” What do you think?
