"Recession Is Not A Concept We Subscribe To"
I was there bright and early, very early - 7:30am. So as I usually enjoy doing, I started talking to people to learn more about them, their passions, and what they do for a living. I started a conversation with Andrew O'Brien, a sales professional for the Bob Proctor group. I asked, "do you think the current economy will have an effect on your business?'.
My question was greeted pleasantly, and almost with amusement. Andrew essentially replied, 'we don't use the word or believe in 'Recession'. 'Regardless of whatever is going on in the economy, there are always people and businesses that can make a lot of money regardless. We stay focused on how we're going to succeed and go after those possibilities'. The focus in his eyes, and the smile on his face told me this was more than a cliche, Andrew O'Brien really believed it.
If you are familiar with the Bob Proctor group, you know their organization is highly dedicated to assisting their clients and organizations build wealth. If you don't know of them, I'll share that they are a fantastically credible organization. Bob Proctor has spent 40 years in the self-growth and development field and when you listen to him talk, he's every bit a focused, charismatic, and highly intelligent businessman that anyone who respects success has to admire.
What Did I Get From The Day?
Personally I do follow economic trends to understand consumer and business behavior. I enjoy watching the patterns of how companies and industries rise, stagnate, or fail simply because each stage holds lessons that allows me to grow and help my clients.
What was invaluable about the day was a reminder of what I've seen independently, 'that regardless of the economy there will always be people and businesses that massively grow'. There is an interesting relationship between what we think about and what we see in the world. As an example, have you ever looked for a particular model and color of car? Within a matter of days and weeks it seems these cars that were no where to be seen on the road start materializing. They seem to be everywhere. All that changed was a person's ability to see what was already there.
Professionally speaking, I've seen the same with myself and other companies. When an organization focuses on all the 'downturn factors' they find lots of reasons why things are bound to be a struggle. However when a business focuses on why they are different, the value they bring, and have a powerful belief they are going to grow regardless of how hard they have to work for it... they do!
At the end of that Saturday, my shoulders felt lighter and my smile was brighter. I was glad for the reminder that instead of focusing on how many companies are going out of business I and my clients are going to focus on how we are going to become even better at what we do and grow.

3 Reasons "Your Mindset" Matters Most In Your Life
As we head into another new and exciting year, I really want to offer you the push you need to realize your potential in 2007. One reason I get so excited this time of year is because I always feel a sense of unlimited possibilities as the new year approaches. I love the starting over and reworking of what didn't work in my personal and professional life last year. And after years of learning and growing and accomplishing some of the many goals I have set for myself, I decided that no matter what you decide to do in and with your life, your mindset matters most.
In fact, your mindset makes or breaks your success in this life in three ways:
One-- Believing in Abundance
Right now you believe many goals are attainable and many are not. The way we were raised and our current environment dictate our beliefs and unless we are challenged and taught to believe differently, we stay stuck. Today--open your mind up to abundance. Take a goal and rewrite it in an abundant mindset. Try to make yourself believe that you can accomplish it even if there is a nagging voice saying "no way!" Then put it where you can see it every day. It can be a financial goal or the number of articles you want to write next year. Whatever you want to accomplish, have, or do. It doesn't matter. Think abundantly and think big for yourself.
Two--Manifesting What You Want
Once you begin to think more abundantly and do it enough that it becomes a practiced mindset, then you will begin to easily manifest what you need, want, and deserve in life. Since manifesting is done in the mind, it in itself is another mindset. You should begin to consciously manifest what you dream of and what you need to accomplish your dreams. That is why writing down your goals is so powerful. It forces you to consciously manifest your wants and desires.
Three--Welcoming the Change
The third mindset and the hardest and most important is being open to change. Many of us are very fearful of change and don't recognize that we are resisting an abundant life because of the safe choices we make. Me included. We limit ourselves because of that risk of failure. We get used to believing what other un-abundant thinkers think because at least then we don't have to put ourselves out there and fail. Change is good--it helps you grow. When you begin to expect change and thrive in the middle of it, you will increase your speed at which you succeed at your goals.
