I love learning for the sake of pursuing knowledge, and I really admire your grandfather’s ambition. I find that my perspective skews conversations frequently and it’s important to keep an open mind. I always appreciate a second opinion on my ideas because I know someone else will see things differently.

I agree with the thoughts that your business will grow only to the extent your visualization.

No doubt: you are spot on when you say that what is focused on will grow most. I couldn’t agree more with that. And conversely, what you ignore is destined to fail.

I’m pretty obsessive so I know that if I get on something – my brain takes off. Right now I’m on SEO – driving myself crazy! Thanks for your thoughts.

That Guy Jerry Andress is too much. I really see your point though. In essence your business will grow only to the extent your brain visualizes it.

My brain has been telling me that lots of new business would be appearing soon if we just kept working the plan. My wife kept saying “Why aren’t you worried?”

“What good does that do?” I asked.

The work is flowing in again and if we get two more decent sized jobs we will be back in hiring mode.

Kelly,
So you know I have to ask… what’s one thought you have about your business that you can prove is an illusion?

Nate,
Without getting into how we’re inspired to create or who creates through us, our minds are the fertile ground for creating. Just look around, so many amazing things we have today because of minds looking at problems from different perspectives.

Thoughts?

Tommy,
Thinking positively sure does help, I believe. Yet can you just think away your business problems or is something more needed?

Shari,
True. Yet thinking is only the first and second step. The creation step happens through action. So after we think we should ask – what are we going to ‘do!”?

Laura,
Exactly. And hence, you’ll crash. Same with your business. If you spend your time on the periphery, you’ll end up there – crashed.

Brad,
Oh do I have some posts on that concept – including on marketing, negotiating terms, pricing and sales. Thanks for reminding me.

James,
It’s not that you can’t trust your brain. But rather to be successful as a business owner, you need to push past it’s perceptions to see things with different eyes.
