The other night Julie and I went to a local event here in Vegas. While there we ran into neighbor, Steve. We knew he owned a very successful business.
He told Julie and I that he wanted to list his condo for sale with us. I asked him why?
I was stunned - literally stunned to hear his response. I want to share it with you because there’s a valuable lesson here.
Steve is an amazing business person. He created a business that provides internet marketing for small businesses and non-profits.
Steve has a mastery of the internet marketing world that few could match. Truly an impressive person.
His business is booming and has been for years. People have to wait in line for his services, he is that successful.
So when I asked him why he wanted to sell, this is what he told me.
“The economy is turning.”
Steve, so what. What does that have to do with you.
“Maybe people won’t be able to afford my services and I won’t be able to pay for my condo. I can move into a smaller apartment and save money.”
Steve, you help non-profits and small businesses make money. Do you think they are going to say, “Oh the economy is bad so I’ll
stop making money online?” You’re offering services that few other people do.
“I’m worried my business is going to go south and people will stop needing my internet marketing expertise. Yes, it’s booming today
but what about tomorrow.”
He’s so worried about what the economy is going to do you know what is going to happen… don’t you.
Steve’s going to create and generate enough negative thoughts and energy to make his nightmare a reality.
And if he keeps up on this road, not only won’t he be able to afford his condo, he won’t be able to afford
the apartment or even a dog house for his dog.
And this is super important so listen up:
This means you!
Your thoughts create reality.
If you spend all your time generating negative thoughts, your reality is going to be negative.
What you really need to do is generate a positive state.
Because when you are in a positive state, nothing can stop you.
If you are uncertain about what is going to happen next in this market..maybe not sure what you should be doing now..listen to this
