Homebiz

What (if anything) would you do differently if you knew that your home-based business could not fail? Would you do more promotion? Would you project a more successful mindset? In short, how would your material, mental, emotional, and spiritual outlook change and how would those changes manifest themselves in your daily life and in your home-based business? Think about this for a few moments; what answers come to you?

Having pictured your ideal life or home-based business, my next question is: What’s stopping you? Why aren’t you achieving the results you want? Where are the obstacles on your road to success?

We are all conditioned to accept a given amount of success. This built-in programming acts like a limited that keeps us from failing too badly… or from succeeding too handsomely. It’s like a thermostat programmed for 70 degrees. If the room heats up, the cooling will kick in. If the room gets cold, the heat will come on. The temperature therefore varies within a narrow range. It’s the same with success.

Look back at your life and I’ll bet that you’ll see periods of extraordinary (relative to the average) periods of wealth, happiness, business profits, etc. You’ve also experienced periods where it seemed like nothing could possibly go your way. Average these two out and you’ll probably arrive at an amazingly level average. That average is your comfort zone. Think about that comfort zone and how faithfully you’ve stuck by it and you’ll realize that you haven’t failed at all. Quite the contrary, everything you’ve done has been absolutely perfect for maintaining that safe, navigable average. Congratulations! You have been 100% true to your commitments and have reaped 100% success from those efforts.

The fact that you’ve followed your current program 100% successfully in your life or home-based business means that you can achieve any level of success you want. That’s right: All of your trials, tribulations, and hardships mean that you can have anything you want. After all, a computer that runs a word processor perfectly can also run a spreadsheet! One cannot blame the computer if the programming is flawed or limited. The computer can’t tell the difference between good and bad code and neither can your brain. I’d be terrified of a computer that did not follow its programming, even if that meant fewer crashes and other problems.

If the programming is flawed or limited, then fixing or changing the program will solve the problem. The same analogy holds true for you. If you don’t like the life or home-based business you have, then all you need to do is change how you define success and everything else will change accordingly. Changing a definition is easy- and therein lies the problem, for this change literally is unbelievably easy. The inability to believe just how simple this change is means that actually doing it often requires months or even years.

Changing your definition of success is as easy as 1-2-3:

First, own the fact that you and you alone are responsible for your life, your home-based business, and everything in it. In this context, “responsible” literally means “able to respond”. You alone have the ability to respond to what you want in your life and home-based business. Ability is another word for power. Own your power.

Second, you must define “success” in as much detail and in as many areas of your life as possible. What does your ideal life and home-based business look like? What does it sound, smell, feel, and taste like? Who, what, where, when, why, and how do you need everything in your life for it to be perfect?

Third, realize that you have succeeded at everything in your life that you have been committed to… which means everything you have actually done, not everything you may have been interested in. If you don’t like your current commitments, change them! You will fulfill these new commitments just as successfully as your old ones.

Your life and home-based business would not change one bit if you were guaranteed 100% success because you’re already 100% successful right where you are. The moment you stop committing to the success you have and start committing to the success you want, you’ll start achieving that sought-after success. The only problems are when your interest and commitment are mismatched. Match your interest (what you want) with your commitment (what you actually do) and your success is absolutely guaranteed.
