If You Think You Can…You Can!

Have you ever bought a new car and suddenly you become aware that the same type of vehicle seems to be everywhere on the road? You don’t recall noticing them before but now you see the same car everywhere. The cars did not magically appear, they were there all along you just didn’t notice.

This is called the Tetris Effect. It’s not that the company produced more cars, and more people bought them, but just that you probably didn’t recognize that the number of these specific autos had been there all along, and it is only now that you are aware of their presence.

In this fashion, it seems what you want to believe or think about comes about. If we believe that there are not enough clients or people won’t pay for our services or even if we are afraid of failing, all those beliefs are going to interfere with our ability to build our clientele and make money in our businesses.

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. Either way, you are right. If you have one of those beliefs, take a moment and ask yourself, “Is that belief really true?”

And then ask yourself, “If it is true, then what is it costing me to have that belief; what would it be like to not have that belief; and what is the turnaround of that statement?” For example, if you’re thinking no one is going to pay for my services, it will cost me clients, money, frustration, and sadness.

And just what if the opposite is true, that you have all the clients and money that you want and that you’re happy, fulfilled and generating the income that you desire?

The turnaround statement would be to realize that there are many clients who are willing to pay for my services and once you start believing that, your situation will turn around.

So, I suggest that you write down all the beliefs that don’t serve you and turn them into the positive of what does serve you so that you can have the success that you want in your business.
