Successful Mind Games
Successful Mind Games

No one likes to get played. We want people to be straight forward with us, even when we aren't straight forward with others. But, there is one person you need to play mind games with in order to be successful. You.
You will never be a success at network or multi-level marketing, or any other venture, for that matter, until you learn to think, and act, like a success. There have been more books and articles written on this subject that you could ever hope to read. One of the earliest and one of my favorites is Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. Other well-known books include Napolean Hill's Think and Grow Rich. Scientific studies have verified the connection between thought and reality. Athletes have used the power of imagination for years to improve their performance. So, why is it that we have a hard time believing that our thoughts can control our destiny in business?
The old adage "fake it until you make it" is truer than many people will acknowledge. But, when you break it down and really take a cold hard look at it, it makes sense.
When you think about a failure, what kind of person do you picture? Someone who:
• is slumped over with poor posture?
• doesn't smile, and looks either sad or angry?
• doesn't look you in the eyes?
• walks with a slow shuffle?
• speaks quietly, perhaps with poor grammar?
• is introverted, and doesn't "mingle" well in a social setting?
When you think about a successful person, what kind of person do you picture? Someone who:
• stands up straight with head held high?
• smiles and looks happy or at least confident?
• confidently looks you right in the eyes?
• walks boldly with a sure step?
• projects his voice and uses proper grammar?
• is extroverted, and introduces herself in social settings?
Which person do you picture yourself as? If there are differences between your actions and appearance and the successful image and the way you are, it's time to take control of the situation and act as if until you are.
So, here are five easy tasks to improve your appearance and look more successful:
1. Work on your posture. It won't just improve your appearance, it will also improve your attitude and your health.
2. Before you leave the house every morning, look yourself in the mirror and smile the biggest smile you can. Make it so big it looks fake, and keep it plastered on your face for at least 3 minutes.
3. Go for a walk around the block every day. When you walk, make a concentrated effort to walk confidently and smoothly. Lift your feet up. You don't have to set a speed record, but walk at a brisk pace. Again, this will not only improve your appearance and attitude, but also your health.
4. An old acting technique is to project your voice. When you speak, speak to the back of the room. That doesn't mean to speak loudly, but just to imagine that when you speak, you are speaking to the person at the other end of the room. If you are in the habit of using slang, clean up your language! If you want to attract professionals into your business, you have to be professional.
5. Many years ago I learned an easy an interesting technique from my upline to draw yourself out of your shell. Put five marbles in your left pocket at the beginning of the day. During the day, force yourself to talk to five total strangers. This can be at the checkout line in the grocery store, at the gas station, on the street corner, wherever you have to go to find someone you don't know. Each time to you talk someone new, move one of the marbles from your left pocket to your right pocket. You don't have to have a long-winded conversation. You just want to boldly and confidently introduce yourself. You can talk about the weather, if you want. Even better, ask them what they do for a living and see if you can get a business card, email address or phone number and add them to your contact list!
Practice these steps daily, and you will be amazed at the change in yourself - and in your business. After all, who would you prefer to work with: the person you pictured as a failure, or the person you pictured as a success?
