How To Change Your Problems With One Word

Hi

I just wanted to share this with you and hopefully you will find it as useful as I did. I am currently half way through a Landmark Education course and one of the things I am learning, that is making a difference to the way I view things, is how changing a word in a sentence can change the meaning of the sentence and make it more achievable.

Let me show you what I mean. Take a problem you have at the moment and use the word BUT in the sentence. Mine is "I want my on line business to take off BUT I don't know how". Change the word BUT to AND . So " I want my on line business to take off AND I don't know how". This now changes the sentence. The sentence with BUT places an obstacle and isn't related to the first part but changing the BUT to AND makes the not knowing how a part of the first bit of the sentence making it feel like you can overcome it.

AND I don't know how is just a matter of fact which can be overcome. So the next part is working out how to overcome the not knowing how and getting on with getting the on line business to take off.

For example not knowing how can be changed by educating yourself. Now you have a solution, yes you have to educate yourself but that is possible.

If you practice with a problem of your own and say it out loud you should be able to feel the difference.


I hope you found this useful.

How Not To Be An Entrepreneur

Morning

Well it's 0820hrs and I am just on my way to my advanced Landmark Education course. For me this is brilliant I loved the first one and it made a big difference in my life. It is both challenging and rewarding but I believe is making me a better person.

Any how I just wanted to share with you about my first experience of trying to be an entrpreneur. I have an information product I know is good and works and will help people. I have read and hopefully understood about marketing strategies and spent time writing my web ad. I have decided to test it locally and contacted my local paper and spoke to a really helpful lady and placed the ad for 4 weeks.

Brilliant, I thought this week I will be up and running ready to get my orders out and start understanding how this all worked. I have my analytics all set up to monitor visitors and purchasers and I think I understand the importance of testing and constant analysing.

So feeling very proud of myself I have been waiting for my local paper to arrive to view my master piece in glorious writing. The paper rang me yesterday; " hi we are just placing your ad onto our website but the link does not appear to work" . Confused I asked to clarify the web address and in a flash there was the problem ".com". Yep my address is ".co".uk. There was a big Homer Simpson DOH on my part and a wasted weeks advertising.

Thankfully they had checked and the web ad is good to go on their web site and will be fine for next week.

Lessons learnt? Oh yes. Check, check and check again.

Have a great Satruday I know I will
