Be Careful What You Believe

Be Careful What You Believe
There’s a threat to your business just waiting to pounce. It’s not the economy, or the government. It’s the people who are filled with doom and gloom about the economy and the world of business. Listen to them if you want to, but be very, very careful what you choose to believe.
This site is all about your business success. A big part of that success is linked to your mindset. That’s why I’ve spent the last decade immersed in the world of Advanced Thinking - the study of how our mind and our thinking works.
Here’s a classic example of how your thinking will massively influence your actions and your results in business.
A friend of mine, a recently retired MP, asked me a question a couple of days ago. He wanted to know how I thought the economy was doing, as the people he had been speaking to felt we were definitely experiencing a downturn.
People seem to obsess about this issue - the media certainly does - but it can be very, very dangerous. Here’s why.
Advanced Thinking shows us that what you believe affects your actions. Numerous studies have shown that people who believe that they are going to be more successful become more successful. People who believe they are leaders are better leaders. People who believe they are attractive do better with the opposite sex (whether or not they are what most would classify as ‘attractive’)
In fact the power of beliefs goes much further. Your beliefs directly affect your health. When drug companies test a new drug, they do double blind studies where one group gets the real drug, while the other group gets a water tablet with nothing in it - what’s known as the placebo.
What’s fascinating is that a proportion of the people who get the placebo (the drug with nothing in it) get better. There’s even a name for it - the ‘placebo effect.’
How do they get better? The only explanation is that because they believe they’re taking the real drug, their beliefs affect their body and their internal healing mechanism kicks in.
If you stop and think about that for a moment, the implications are staggering. It means your beliefs can directly influence your health.
If your beliefs can help you recover from illness, do you think it’s possible that your beliefs can influence your business results?
Do you think it’s possible that business owners who are bombarded with news stories about economic downturns, who are surrounded by people in the pub moaning about how bad business is, actually start believing all this, whether or not it’s true? And do you think it’s possible that if you believe we’re in a slowdown, you start acting differently in your own business whether or not there is a slowdown?
You’d better believe it. People get a sort of business depression. They slow down. They blame every problem on the economy or the government - and before they know it, they’ve created the downturn in their own business, by their own lack of action.
Many years ago, I had an office above a leasing company. Every day when I went in I would pass the owner of the leasing company, say ‘hello’ and ask how he was doing. Every day he would tell me how bad the economy was. I tried to tell him about some of the really obvious Marketing he should be doing but he never listened. He was too busy moaning and complaining. It was very obvious that he was heading for disaster - not because of the economy, but because of his own thinking.
Sure enough, six months later the receivers came along and carried out all his goods. He seemed strangely satisfied. I think there’s a comfort in believing that everyone else is to blame for your situation and there’s nothing you can do about it. That’s why so many people live their lives at ‘effect’ rather than ’cause.’
So when my MP friend asked me the question about the economy, it reminded me what an important issue this is.
As a business owner, I have virtually no interest in what the media or government or the local gossip has to say about how the economy is doing.
Firstly, these reports of economic downturns or even recessions are huge, huge generalisations. They are averages. I don’t know about you, but one of my life missions is never to be average. I couldn’t imagine anything worse.
So they average out how everyone is doing to come up with these generalisations. But in any downturn or recession, there will be hundreds of thousands of people who do very, very well. One of the reasons they do so well is they do not buy in to the general consensus about how business or the economy is doing.
Second, these downturns are just blips. We live in a world oozing with wealth if you look in the right places. When our economy takes a dip it’s like Pavarotti hitting a bad note. In the grand scheme of things, it really doesn’t matter.
Thirdly, and most importantly I know that my Marketing knowledge can ride the economic waves. If you really get deep into the material I’m sharing with you. If you devour this material every month and go back and re-listen to the seminars, your results should be hundreds of per cent ahead of your competition. Maybe 300% more. So in a bad year it’s just 200% more. Who cares?
The greatest protection you can give yourself against economic downturns is becoming excellent at Marketing.
However - and here’s the public health warning - you can do all of the above but if you start buying into the cultural beliefs about the state of the economy, you’re risking disaster. I strongly believe that it’s peoples’ beliefs about the state of the economy that do far more damage than any particular economic pattern.
So over the next few months, you’ll see and hear and read heated debate among the ‘experts’ trying to work out how we’re all doing. I suggest you ignore all of them. They have no idea how you’re doing and they have no idea how it’s possible to rise above the average if you get just a little bit smart.
As someone once said, ‘All we have to fear is fear itself.’
Of course, talking of fear, it’s not just the economic doom merchants we have to learn to ignore. Even when things are booming, we’re all being told how we’re going to be blown up by terrorists and how they can do untold harm to the economy etc.
You really don’t want to buy into all this doom and gloom. While acknowledging the terrible suffering of those who’ve been hit by terrorism, I remember going to school wondering whether the next bang you were going to hear was a nuclear bomb going off and the end of the world. I would swap those days for these anytime.
It’s a great time to be alive. There are more opportunities out there than ever before. The internet is transforming our world and our businesses and you and I are at the leading edge of all this.
Let everybody else worry about the economy. You focus on doing some new Marketing tests and enjoy watching the money pour in.
Your thinking and your mind run your life. Use them wisely.

Welcome to the Click2freeinfo Xmas Gifts with all the up to date offers (see Adverts), which we hope will bring you a bit of festive help as you go in that long search for that special gift.

If you are short of ideas for what to buy for friends and family, you will find plenty here, for him Gadgets.co.uk her and kidsTJ Hughes Plus, much, much more and otehr present ideas A1Gifts.co.uk leading up to Christmas Day.
As you go about your Christmas shopping this year, we do hope you will find it a pleasurable time rather than a stressful chore. Using the internet can at least help a great deal British Van Heusen Shirts in that respect, making the search that much quicker and without those crowds.
In remembering that the giving of gifts is an act of generosity, we hope you can find time to read Roy Thomsitt’s ,(see below) which brings Santa Claus to the edge of a tropical rainforest. The story is aimed at adults and older children, rather than young children, so we do hope you will find the time to enjoy this new story about a poor child’s first ever Christmas gift, and a wonderful act of generosity that has Santa yelping with delight.
A very Happy Christmas to you all, and a wonderful New Year too.

Over the past two months I have been writing a Christmas story. It is about Santa Claus and the remarkable sequence of events that befell a young girl living on the edge of the rainforest in Palawan, a tropical island where I live.

Of course, for such an apparently far fetched story, it was important to check out the facts. That was easy to do here in Palawan, but how could I interview somebody quite so famous as Santa Claus, who lived far away in a land where I would freeze to death as soon as I got off the airplane?

Well, it turned out to be more easy than I thought, and we met, believe it or not, close to a big firework display in Southern England on November 5th 2005. How I got there and how he got there, I am not allowed to say. In fact, I cannot say, simply because I do not know for sure. I can only speculate. My passport shows I was here; my wife tells me I was here; I tell myself I was here. But I was there, and this is what I can report from the notes I took at the interview. There was much more, but I am sworn to secrecy, and Santa Claus has such amazing powers, I would not go against his wishes.

These are the 3 questions, and answers, I am allowed to reveal.

Q1 There is much speculation amongst historians about your origins. Can you tell us, to put this straight once and for all?

(Roars of laughter from Santa) “The last people you should ask are historians. They can only look backwards. What a dumb life they lead; they can never find the truth like that. Life is multi dimensional; time is multi dimensional. What do historians and scientists know about all that? The truth is like a sun with all it’s planets rotating round. If you just look backwards, you miss the whole spectrum, and you miss the sun itself.

“What are my origins? My good man, you’re just a simple soul, like everyone else on the planet, so I know you mean ‘when and where do I come from’. I do have a birthday; in fact, I have many birthdays, and they are all true. But for your narrow little world, I was born in 701 AD.’

“But,” I said, “all the historians…….” his glare told me to be quiet about historians. That seemed like a good idea, given that they got it all totally wrong.

Santa was a tolerant and gentle man despite his massive powers. “And, young man” ( I had not been called that for a long time) he said. “You will not believe where I was born. It was not the North Pole, though I go there often. It was not Lapland, where I do now live. It was Central Africa.’

I was dumbfounded; he just laughed at me. I moved on quickly.

Q2 I have to ask, Santa, how do you get around the whole world like that, every Christmas, delivering gifts to so many millions of children? In less than 2 days. It’s just not..”

Before I could finish, he had put his hand firmly on my arm to stop me.

“Of course it’s possible. You think it’s not possible because your “scientists” say so, not because of the truth. Only the truth matters. And it is possible, because I do it every year. You say “not possible” because of the way you all look at things; narrow and blinkered. Even my blinkered reindeer know more than your silly scientists; so forget it’s not possible. I do it, and young man”, (I was really beginning to like this guy), he went on, “I just love every moment of it.”

“But……?” I was about to ask, but he stopped me again with a firm hand.

“Ok,” he said gently. “Let me just tell you about something. In the 8th century I was exploring brainwaves; your scientists don’t have an inkling yet about the brain, how it works, the brainwaves and what they mean and how you can use them. I was able to discover great things, things all the scientists have been too narrow minded in the past to seek out, understand and utilize.”

I was in his spell, listening intently to every word. He was about to reveal….

“Have you heard of Quantum Chimney Descent Theory? No, of course not. By 820 AD I had it all worked out; a year later I had discovered Time Corridors. You know time corridors? No, of course not, but I tell you young man, that was what did it, that was what enabled me to deliver gifts at Christmas all over the world.

“I then developed the Time Corridor Interweaving Theory. For the next 30 years I started to put them both into practice, and then bring them together. That my dear friend is how I get around the whole world like that and deliver gifts: by exploiting the Quantum Chimney Descent Theory in unison with Time Corridor Interweaving.

“Do you understand now?” he asked.

Well, who was I to argue, I might sound like a historian or scientist? So, that was it, I had the answers to the greatest Santa Claus question of all. I did not have a clue what he was talking about, but I am sure he anticipated that.

We went on to the final question as the firework display reached its climax.

Q3 What happens to all the mince pies and glasses of sherry that millions of children leave out for you?

Santa roared with laughter again, “oh, all the things people leave out for me; they are so sweet those children. “But you know, their parents should tell them the truth; they should not deceive. It is their parents who drink the sherry and other alcoholic drinks. It’s just their excuse. I don’t drink the stuff, never did.

“But the mince pies, yes I do love a good mince pie. The children are so considerate leaving them for me, and I eat as many as I can in Australia. But over a million? I have to tell you, those mince pies get spread around all sorts of places. The creatures of the oceans and the forests are very much experts on mince pies now. But the year before last…..”

Santa saw my expression change.

“Aaah, we can’t say what happened that year, can we? It’s in your story. We mustn’t spoil your story.’

A moment later I awoke in my bed many thousands of miles away near the Sulu Sea. My wife was next to me; and funnily enough, I was next to her. When I went to my computer room a while later, I found my notebook. And what you have read above is what was written in it.

I really did like Santa Claus; “young man” indeed. (Thank you for reading)
