Imagine yourself wakening up every morning full of energy and ready for the challenges of the day. Lots of exciting things are happening and you manage them with success. You turn around the negative to the positive and with the positive you create balance and success within all areas. Would not this be wonderful?

This scenario could be yours, but the question is: Does your life look like this? Most likely most people would like to have a life like this, but the reality for many people is not as positive as the scenario above. A lot of people struggle with bad finances, bad health and bad relationships. How come?

No-one is born with a negative approach or negative thoughts of herself. However, when the years pass by, a lot of people create a negative pattern of thoughts that leads to negative feelings, which always leads to poor results. There is nothing wrong with that and it is pure naturally if you understand the law of cause and effect, where every effect has a cause and every cause has an effect.

The reason for that we think positively or negatively about ourselves and what we can accomplish is to a large extent shaped of what we have seen, experienced and heard as a child. If you have grown up surrounded by harmony, the chances that you have life balance are greater than what you would have had if you had grown up under tougher circumstances. Maybe it sounds unfair, and maybe it is, but you cannot change the past.

However, you can change what you think and feel about yourself now. What has been programmed in your past can be replaced with a new program where you get positive results, all according to the law of cause and effect.

How is this done? The first thing we need to do is to let go of the emotional connection to what causes poor results. To let go of everything that is negative and forgive those who might have done this. Not so much for their sake as for you to be able to be free from the strong bounds that creates your unwished results.

When you then feel free and released from the negative, it is time to program your brain with your dream scenario with assistance of new messages, for example:

1. I love myself
2. I am running a successful business
3. I have many excellent relationships

Read your sentences 10 times each morning and evening during three weeks and continue thereafter with new positive sentences that you want to experience. This will become you new cause and the results will be positive and totally different from your previous results.

Good Luck!

Have you ever thought of how you can create the life you want? Maybe you have a number of different dreams you would like to realize, but you think they are impossible to achieve. Then I have good news for you. Nothing is impossible if only the will and understanding are large enough for how you shall achieve what you dream about.

The difference between a multi millionaire and a poor person might seem to be huge, but the big difference is that the rich person has the consciousness to make money while the poor man has the consciousness to make no money at all.

Imagine if one could teach everybody how to make a consciousness of good finances, health and relationships instead of the dejected feeling that many people carry around. I mean that this is possible. The thing that differentiates us from each other is our inner images we carry around in our unconsciousness. These inner images of success or failure decide what kind of decisions we take and what results we get.  

What kind of inner images do you carry around? Make an analysis of your present situation and your inner images, when it comes to your finances, health and relationships. These are the images that control your life, in the same way as your software programs control your computer and what it can do. Are these the images you want? Would you rather replace your programs? Just like on a computer you can add programs that you use, and delete or remove programs that you focus less on or do not use at all.

What kind of images do you want to have in your data bank when it comes to finances, health and relationships? Write them down and focus on what you do want to have.  Remember to live with these images like they are happening right now, as in present mode. Sooner or later the result you want will be created outwards. A positive image creates a positive result, while a negative image creates a negative result.

You decide how conscious and successful you will be. You are the one who decide what programs your computers shall have and what kind of result they shall generate. If you apply this technique you can create the life you want!

Do you know that almost all people create their life around their job and the salary they get from that? Why not apply another approach? Start with defining what kind of life you want to life and create your work around that. When you have identified the life of your dreams, create your inner images of that life and start working with your mental picture of this life. At the same time, write down what steps you need to take to achieve the life of you dreams. The power of both your mental inner images and a practical action plan will take you to your goals even faster.

Good Luck!

Today we shall look into what kind of unique qualities you have that can improve your chances in your work or in your business. We all have a number of unique qualities which we often are not aware of. This is often referred to as your USB or Unique Selling Proposition. To really appear as unique in what you do, makes it easier for a potential customer or manager to judge if they want what you offer them or not.

Let us take an example: We have John, 38 years old, who run his own business as a specialist in web design. As you might be aware of, there are plenty of companies offering web design which makes it difficult for the customer to choose who to hire. John contacts me since his business does not perform according to his intentions and plans.

John knows that he is really good at what he does, but he has mediocre sales results. We discuss the problem and I ask John what he does. After a while it is clear for me that John does not differ himself from the rest when he has meetings with potential clients. John does not market himself in a way that differentiates him from his competitors, which makes it impossible for the client to understand why they should choose John instead of any other web design company.

I ask John what makes him so good, what he is really good at within his niche. He says: I am quite good at everything but there is nothing special with me. However, I know that this is not true since I have seen Johns web design work and it is really good. After a lot of discussion and digging into Johns work, we find three things that differentiate John from the rest. These unique things, also called the Unique Selling Proposition (USP), are;

1. John is reliable above the usual. He delivers what he promises and he makes sure the customer is happy with the result.

2. John offers web solutions that the customer himself can administrate, which makes his products very flexible.

3. John has a competence level within his niche that is second to none. All this is offered to a very competitive price.

When John presents his services with these unique qualities it is much easier for the customer to compare Johns offer with the competitors offers, and choose John.

This is a rather simple way to increase your turn around when you know what you are good at, i.e. to market and present your Unique Selling Proposition (USP).

So, my question to you my friend is;

-         What kind of unique qualites do you have that differentiates you from the rest in your work or in you business?

-         Make a list of at least three things that differentiates you from the rest.

-         This is your Unique Selling Proposition/your USP.

Do your customers or your boss know what your USP is? If not, make sure you communicate this when you are marketing and selling your product or service.

At the Olympic Games in Montreal Canada 1976, the difference between the winner of 100 meter and the guy who came last, was 1/10 of a second. The winner had certain unique qualities that differentiated him from the rest. He became famous and his name was printed in the history books for ever, while the other names were forgotten only a couple of weeks after the competition. It is on people with these kinds of values the companies choose to sponsor with millions of dollars. The same apply for customers; they bet their money on the people or companies that stands out from the rest and offers unique values.

Good luck with these exercises and do not forget that you are unique. Use your Unique Selling Proposition (your USP) and improve your chances.

Good Luck!

Today we shall take a look at how to choose success in life. Since long I have thought about and been astonished over why some people seem to get everything in place whilst others have to fight so hard to reach success.

My first advice to you is to focus on what you want to achieve in life. What others do or do not do does normally not affect you success, so why focus on them. Avoid all these endless discussions of why this or that person were so lucky and got successful, when it actually ought to be you who should be successful. These kinds of discussions do not lead anywhere except they will drown your own power to act and to create something useful and successful.

Instead, imagine yourself standing in front of two doors and you have to choose which door to enter. One door will let you through if you think positively and really commit yourself to realize your dreams. The other door will let you in if you are prepared to see everything that is negative in life and not go for anything, since there always is a risk that you will fail.

Which door do you choose? I am sure you choose the first door where you create the success in life you want!

Unfortunately, most people choose the other door unconsciously and continue to whine over everything that not is good. There is no room for happiness, goals, visions and success.

If you know that you want to choose the first, positive, door but anyway will end up with going through the other, negative, door, do not give up! There is hope. First of all you have become aware of what you want and what you do not want. You want success in life, right? Since your choices no longer are unconscious you can choose the positive door for all future.

-         What door have you so far in your life entered?

-         What door do you want to enter?

-         What kind of thoughts and dreams will you take with you?

You can make up your mind right now and choose your thoughts and actions. If you wait too long, everything is postponed to the future. Remember that to act now is power here and now, whilst everything that is postponed to the future often creates frustration until it is realized, if ever.

When will you act and what door do you choose? Start your journey towards success in life today!

Good Luck!

Are you using all of your capacity? Are you using it the best way it can be used? If not or if you are unsure, have you ever thought of hiring a coach who can help you get your life and/or your business to take off? What if you already are doing well, but yet only make use of a fraction of your true capacity!

Probably you have built your business or work with help of what you are good at. Maybe you have applied qualities like a good social competence, excellence in closing business deals or something else to get you where you are today. All this is fine, but the question is, are you where you really want to be? Maybe you have totally different dreams and goals you want to achieve, but feel you’re not reaching all way through.

All leading athletics, business managers, pop musicians and other successful people have one thing in common. They have people around them helping them grow and get better at what they are doing and therefore reaching amazing results. The thing is that they did not get the amazing results first and then got themselves a coach, instead the got themselves a coach first who coached them to reach amazing results.

Here are a couple of tips you can use when looking for the right coach for you.

Excercises:

1. What areas of yours do you need to develop to really get your life and/or business to take off. Write down a list over these areas

2. Write down 3-4 names within each area that you know has the competence to support you

3. Contact these people in priority order and ask if they want to coach you

4. Remember to always offer them something to help you (you do not get something for nothing)

5. If the reject the offer, continue to the next person on the list until you have found yourself at least one coach in each area

6. If you do not find anybody, or if you do not want a coach in person, you can use books, CD’s, DVD’s, etc. containing the information you are looking for

7. Another way to find people than can help you is to search for them at different sites on the Internet. For example in different forums relating to the areas you want to find coaches in, or at sites where people offer their services for a fee. Examples of such sites are www.elance.com, www.guru.com, www.getafreelancer.com. These sites are primarily for help within Internet related tasks. The good thing here is that there is a rating system so you can see what other people think of them and their services.

You have to pay for their services but usually you end up in paying for a mentor or coach one way or another, if you do not have a close friend that can help you or if there is a kind of sponsored business accelerators who can help you with your business idea.

Start today to make use of ALL your capacity!

In this article I will briefly discuss selling and give you some powerful selling tips. Even if you do not think you are selling something and do not need any selling tips, please bear with me and continue to read. Selling is not always what you normally refer to or thinks about.

Have you thought of that whether you work with direct sales or not, you actively work with sales every day in you life. As a child you sold yourself so your parents and friends should like what you said and did. In the teen years you sold yourself and your ideas to create relationships and networks to support you in life.

As an adult you sell yourself to your partner, to your children (if you have any), to get a job or to someone buying your products or services. Nevertheless, many of my clients claim they cannot sell, which you now realize is not true. Obviously everybody sell themselves in someway, although we might not think of it as selling.

Now when you know that everybody sells themselves in some way, we can take a look at what kind of selling that actually works. The classical sales person with a big mouth, pushing the foot inside the door, sells things ON people, does not work in the long run. The key is to offer something that is interesting enough to attract the customer wanting them to buy what you have to offer.  You shall not manipulate people, but instead making them an OFFER, where the customer makes a choice if they want to buy or not. Remember to mention all benefits to the customer. Not the functions of the product or service but how the product or service you sell helps the buyer. What is in it for them? What are the benefits that makes his or hers life better? Rather simple, do you not agree?

How come so many people fail in selling to an extent where they are never satisfied?

Below you will get eight powerful selling tips that can help you next time you sell something.

Powerful Selling Tips:

1. Offer a product or service that already is in demand, or has a great potential to be in demand
2. Do not sell, make an offer instead
3. Offer solutions to the customer, not only a product or service
4. Aim at making the customer satisfied
5. Your compensation is an acknowledgement of how the customer values your product or service
6. If you are not satisfied with the compensation, adjust your offer so your customer is willing to pay more or buy more
7. Remember that your thoughts and feelings about yourself affect your offer attractiveness.
8. Make sure everybody is a winner in the deal

Here comes an extra advice: After you have sold something, congratulate the buyer to what he or she has bought. This strengthens their beliefs of that they made a good decision buying from you.

Good Luck!

Do you want to make more money? What if I said to you that it is as easy making $50,000 a month as it is making $5,000 a month. That it is as easy having a happy relationship as an unhappy one. Some of you would argue and say this is impossible; I cannot make more money than what I am already doing, or I have tried everything but I still do not have a happy relationship. However it all has to do with what kind of programming you carry around in your subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is like a data bank that receives everything you send to it. It does not do any judgement of what is right or wrong. The subconscious executes only what is stored there. With the conscious mind on the other hand, you can to a great extent distinguish what you want to take part of. It was not always like this, as a child you could not by choice choose what should be used in your subconscious data programming.

Your subconscious mind that executes what is given is to a great extent filled with different programs that have been created when you were a child, including programs concerning your finances, your health and your relationships.

You have different results for finances, health and relationships depending on your programming. Let us say you make $5,000 per month, which is a result from your subconscious data program. It keeps a picture of that you can only make $5,000 per month, which probably is entered from the time you were a child (most often unintentionally from your parents).

Let us now say you want to make more money, say $50,000 per month. What you need to do is to replace your old program with a new program giving you pictures of you making that $50,000 a month.

You need to do the same changes to your subconscious data programming if you have an unhappy relationship but want to change that to a happy relationship.

Perform the following exercises to feed your subconscious mind with a new programming. Write everything down.

Excercises:

1. How does your current programming look like?

2. Are you where you want to be?

3. Write down you dream picture of how your program shall look like

4. Set a deadline when you shall achieve your dream

5. Write down everything in present tense

6. Read you dream everyday as if you already has accomplished it

After a while your old picture will disappear and your dream picture will take over. How long time this will take depends on your conviction that you can make this happen.

Good Luck!
