The Keen Marketer

A couple of weeks ago, I spent 2 days listening and learning from David Wood.  If you’ve ever had the opportunity to attend an event given by David Wood, then you will know what I mean when I say

“WOW”!

It was there that I met “shleprock”.  Who is shleprock?  It is my impostor.

Our impostor is that little voice in our head that says “you’re not ready yet”, “you have to get organized before..”, “are you sure you should?”, “you can do that later”.

Sound familiar?

Our impostor is not all bad.  It is that part of our brain which takes care of us.  It protects us from injury and watches over us so we don’t get hurt.   But we no longer are in the middle ages where we have to run away from saber tooth tigers.

It just forgets about that!

Now we asked David, how to stop our imposter from getting in our way.  His answer was, drum rollllll,

“I  don’t know!”  That was honest wasn’t it?

But he did say that just by recognizing that we do have an impostor makes all the difference.  The impostor is not me, the real me.

And that once you recognize that it isn’t you, then telling your impostor to “cool it” will put it on hold until the next time it feels like interfering.

The trick here is to continue on in spite of the warnings because once you have put action behind the thought, the next time the same scenario comes around again, the action will be that much easier until you don’t hear the impostor anymore because it will now be a normal occurrence that the impostor does not have to worry about anymore.

Make any sense to you?

Feel like the walls are closing in on you?  Maybe you’re not really seeing what is going on because your words, your thoughts, your opinions, your beliefs and your doubts have gotten you there.

This goes back to the rewiring the brain series I did on the millionaire mind .  We all have erroneous opinions about things, hopes and what we can really achieve.

Want to get out of your hole?

First, start looking at the whole picture rather than only the walls of your hole.  Are you made of walls only? Of course not, you are a whole person with so much greatness in you that everyone would be amazed, especially yourself.

It’s really about the focus you have every day.  If your focus takes in all of you, you will stop to dig your hole and start looking at your potential and start believing in yourself.

Are you the only person that has ever been in that hole? Listen, we all have been there, even the top earners.

Especially the top earners!

Why were they successful?  They never gave up.

They focused on what they needed to do to start digging themselves out of that hole.  They put a plan together.  Sure it might require some sacrifice and some discipline but look at the goal you are wanting to achieve in the end.

Read inspiring books such as “The Wisdom of Wallace Wattles” who teaches you the science of getting rich and many other authors who work at helping us realize what holds us back.

In fact, I will be attending a 2 day intensive with David Wood next week and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to get it straight from the horse’s mouth.

I have my issues to work through but I also want to work through them.  So the willingness to change must also be part of your plan.

Change means action and get out of the way because here I come.
