Being a HUGE fan of Tom "Big Al" Schreiter, I came across an article he had written this last year and wanted to share it with you today.
Our mind, and the programs we get from others, control us.
The challenge in business is to overcome this and to begin to take back control of our mind.
When I teach leadership workshops, here are some examples of what I mean.
1. Train the mind to look for reasons why it will work, versus reasons why it won’t work.
2. Accepting problems as a normal part of business. We are being paid as business owners to get past the problems, not to place blame or hide behind excuses.
3. Build a habit of prospecting consistently without expectation of immediate results.
4. "Do vs. Try" thinking.
5. Personal responsibility for results.If we don’t prepare our minds for business, then we will be attempting a business with "job thinking" and we will suffer frustration and poor results.
These are just a few of the things for taking back control of our mind.
What do you teach or aspire to in your leadership thinking?

Great and wise words!
I’m ever so grateful for having met "Big Al" back in 2007. He has helped me change the way I think, the way I talk to people about Network Marketing and I know that he can help you too….. Look him up at Fortunenow.com Apply what you can learn from this great trainer and you’ll find Network Marketing to be fun and profitable.
As Tom "Big Al" says. "Learn the Skills and Only take the volunteers!!!!! "
To YOUR Success

Great points. One of the first points I like is accepting problems. Nothing is perfect in life, and there are a number of things that can go wrong. I think one of the most powerful things is learning how to face your mistakes. Whether you are trying to find things that work and don’t work with your audience, new site designs or ad designs, you really get a lot out of experimenting. I also like the idea of Do vs Try. With a ‘Do’ mentality, you have a much more active approach that will be more positive as you go toward your goal. I feel as though when I say try or keep that in my mind, I’ll delay my progress instead of actively pursuing the goal.
