Rich thinking. Poor thinking. We all do both.

Rich thinking isn’t just about money — it’s the kind of thinking that makes us feel lush and able. And poor thinking is the opposite–it makes you feel limited and not able.

If you want to find out what your default kind of thinking is, watch yourself the next time you hit a glitch. Like I did this morning.

There I was, doing a bit of clean up on my website (I took a great website creation workshop last spring that I’m going to tell you more about next time) when I must have pressed the wrong button, for suddenly, all the content in my widgets disappeared. And I couldn’t get it back!

This was bad. And what made it worse was that this was the second time I’d done this.

The ‘poor’ thoughts were right there. “You don’t know what you’re doing.” “You keep screwing up.” “You’ll never get this right.” As these thoughts played through my mind, all I wanted to do was push my computer away and give up.

Luckily for me, I recognized this and substituted more expansive thoughts. They were far kinder:  “You’re just learning, it’s okay to mistakes, sometimes over and over.”  “You’ll get it right.”  “It’s great that you’re even trying to do this yourself.”

Needless to say, these thoughts felt good, and created enough energy so that I went right back and fixed the mess I’d inadvertently created. It didn’t take as long as I thought.

This thought substitution is something one of my clients does very, very well. In fact, she’s so good at it, she’s now teaching other people. Her new course, called The Rich Thinking Way is starting soon and I wanted to tell you about it.

It’s a  12 week teleclass, starting March 3rd and she’s offering people the chance to try it out for 2 weeks– free!

We all know we should think more richly, but Jane’s course will teach you how to do that on a very deep level, so that it becomes part of who you are, not just something to try to do now and then.

In the course, youll get an in-depth experience of not only how you currently think, but how changing your thoughts  will change your life.  She’ll also teach you how to  align your soul with your business, charge what you need to charge for business success and much, much more. Jane’s rich in all she does, so what you’ll get will be wonderful.

To sign up or find out more, here’s the link! Tell Jane I sent you. She’s awesome!

FIGURING THINGS OUT

PERSONAL BEST COACHING PRESENTS:

It’s Okay Not To Know How!

Sometimes we put ourselves under a lot of pressure to know ‘How’ to do something. Sometimes we even stop ourselves from proceeding because we don’t know ‘how’.

Don’t!

Reassure yourself by realizing that many, many highly successful people have started businesses, relationships, projects etc without having a clue how they were going to pull the task to completion. In fact, sometimes not knowing ‘how’ gives us the freedom to explore in entirely new ways.

Take Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. Do you think he knew anything about how to set up a social networking site? No way! He started before the term ’social networking’ site even existed.  In fact, his motivation for the site initially was to create a place to meet girls! Now, according to an annual list published by Forbes magazine, Mark is the youngest ever self-made billionaire. The magazine put the

former Harvard student’s personal wealth at 1.5 billion dollars.

So, don’t worry about not knowing how.  Just get started.  Set out. You’ll figure it out as you go.  Don’t get me wrong. You still have to be clear about what you want. That’s given. But if you worry about the ‘how’, you’ll stop yourself before you’ve even begun.

Don’t even worry if your business, relationship, project is failing. Even if all looks lost, that doesn’t mean you can’t  figure it out and turn things around. Think of Thomas Edison who had over 10,000 filed attempts at the light bulb.  Or, Richard Bach, the author who wrote about a seagull! He was turned down by 18 publishers for his 10,000 word story about the soaring bird before Macmillan finally published it in 1970.  By 1975 it had sold over 7 million copies in the U.S. alone.

It’s even okay if you find yourself questioning your ability to do what it takes–you’re in good company:

* Beethoven was told by his teacher that he handled the violin awkwardly and called him a hopeless composer.

* Charles Darwin, was considered a very ordinary boy with nothing special going for him.

* Henry Ford went broke 5 times before he finally succeeded.

* Walt Disney was a cartoonist who liked to draw mice–who would have ever thought he could make millions from that?

What made these people successful?

1) Having a clear vision.

2) Taking action. Over and over again.

3) Staying positive when their attempts did not work.

Life gives us all the feedback we need about whether we’re on track. So, as Tony Robbins says, you want to take what he calls ‘massive actions’ so you can get the feedback you need to be successful. The more actions you take, the more feedback you’ll get. And the more feedback you get, the more you’ll be able to guide yourself along the path to success.

ALL THESE PEOPLE FIGURED IT OUT—YOU CAN TOO!

And if you’d like some expert help in figuring out ‘how’, try me for a free 30-minute over-the-phone “Idea” session. I love giving them and of course, there’s no obligation to go further. Everyone who has one always tells me how helpful

Your Best Year Ever!

By Karen Hood-Caddy · Comments (0)

WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'instances.raw_url' in 'field list']
SELECT instances.raw_url FROM wp_blc_instances AS instances JOIN wp_blc_links AS links ON instances.link_id = links.link_id WHERE instances.container_type = 'post' AND instances.container_id = 252 AND links.broken = 1 AND parser_type = 'link'

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sorry about the mucked-up email that went out last week. New distribution glitches were the problem, but they are now solved.This newsletter is the one you should have received. Here it is now!

Don’t you just love the fresh start the New Year offers? No matter what 2009 looked like, there’s a brand-new year ahead, waiting for you to create it the way that you want.

What would it take to make 2010 special year?

Are you tired to doing the same things in the same way?

Are you frustrated that the problems that plague you continue to plague you?

Would you like to create a WONDERFUL 2010, one that will make you grin? Check out the offer at the bottom of this post!!!

People often ask me what’s the #1 catalyst for people to change.

Is it a clear picture of your goal?

Is it being more organized so you have the time to create your goal?

Is it having confidence in yourself?

All these things count, but in my experience, the #1 thing that guarantees success is this:

SUPPORT!

Here’s why. Let’s say you decided to climb Mt. Everest. Impossible, you might think. With things the way they are, that’s probably true.

But let’s say you had highly skilled trainers, fabulous equipment and the best Sherpas on the planet. Chances are you could pull it off. In fact, there’s an fabulous story about an Ontario family, The Mallorys, that pulled off this very feat.

Dan Mallory (not related to the famous Mallory that died on Everest) his wife and 3 kids made it their goal to see if they could make this dream come true.

Here’s a picture that says it all:

Everest-Summit

Four of them made it to the top. (The fifth had an injury that prevented them for attempting the climb.) What an extraordinary feat!

This story shows that no matter how big your dream, you can do it–IF you have support. That ‘support’ can be in the form of know-how, equipment, mentors –but the most important is mentors or coaches. Coaches help you hold the vision of your best life, they help you get the skills and equipment and cheer you on every step of the way. All exceptional athletes have coaches. So do many highly successful people. Having a coach makes attaining your goal more easily and more quickly.

HERE’S MY OFFER! To help you create YOUR best 2010, I’m offering two months of coaching for the price of one! Two months is the perfect amount of time to get some big new habits installed, like losing weight, or starting that small biz, or completing those tasks you’ve been procrastinating about. If you’re wanting to do a few life renovations, now is the time to start! If not now, when?

This offer is available to anyone who is not currently in an active working relationship with me, but for those who are, you’re welcome to extend this offer to friends. And if one of your friends does sign up, I’ll give you a special “Energy Modulation” session as my thank you. I have been exploring “energy modulation” techniques for a while now –in fact I’m about to unveil a new website called Happinessanyway.com where I will be offering you further tools for this, but you will get a chance to experience some of these awesome tools for tweaking your own energy.

This offer is available until the end of this week only. To contact me to find out how this could work for you, or to sign up, email me: karen@personalbest.org or go to the contact page on my Free Session Idea page and put OFFER in the message line and add you details. Let’s make 2010 the BEST year ever!

Every blessing to you!
