The way you think affects the outcome of your actions.
When I was working in the beer industry, I was intrigued by our top 10
successful bar-and-hotel owning customers. The majority of them, to put it
tactfully, did not seem to be particularly sophisticated business people.
In other words, they did not seem to have any kind of business training or
acquired any qualifications.
I asked my boss how these people had become so successful. He said : "They
don't know they can't do it. You and I see the pitfalls, we know about
business and we see all the ways we can fail. These people only see how
they'll succeed."
This was a powerful message - these successful owners were talking to themselves in a much more positive way than less successful people.
Top sportsmen know that they have to talk to themselves in a positive way
to be successful. Research has proven that the success of the world's top
golfers is determined by 20 percent physical ability and 80 percent mental
ability. In you day-to-day tasks, you should be no different from sportsmen.
Try it!
