I’m sure you have a bright idea hidden somewhere in the back of your mind that you just can’t wait to test out. Of course you’re not the only one with the bright idea. So what motivates you to churn those creative, or even inspiring juices to its utmost flavor?

It’s always best to set up a personal goal where you can accomplish the most in record time, maybe like mowing the lawn in an hour before the big game on TV. A correct and positive attitude in whatever you do will make things easier, and even enjoyable.

Here are some tips to make it through the week even if you’re just sitting in your favorite couch. An idea takes time to form in your head and is always at work while you are busy sitting.

Having a bit of positive thinking can help you realize things that you never thought possible.

1. Take passionate and consistent action towards living your life by design. Talk is cheap. Action = deposits in the bank of a passionately authentic future. Without it, passion is void.

This is a perfect example where dreams are made of where you start by tinkering with your mind, then with your hands. And if the idea weakens, you can always go back to it later until you finish it.

2. Commit to yourself as well as those you love to create powerfully a life you can love. Instead of reacting, commit to creating from your heart and soul, out of love rather than fear. The American Dream will always be there, but a dream will still be a dream without motion. Be amazed as the transformation begins.

3. Recognize and embrace the thought that each moment is perfect regardless of its outcome. Every time you hit on something that may appear too extreme, why not give it a shot and see if it will work. You will be surprised to see of there are other ways to get the task done in time. If you are not pleased with the outcome, decide to use that moment to learn from and make the appropriate shift.

4. Live completely in a place of gratitude. Learn to utilize what you have in your hands and make use of it in the most constructive way. Slipping into neediness will become less of a habit when you repeatedly shift towards gratitude, away from poverty consciousness.

5. Use a Passion Formula of Recognize/Reevaluate/Restore in place of the Shoulda/Woulda/Coulda whirlwind. The former is based in increased knowledge and abundance while the latter focuses on scarcity and lack. As you face people or tasks that may seem harder than scaling the summit of the Himalayas, allow yourself to realize that the task is just as important as giving out orders to your subordinates.

6. Keep humor at the forefront of thought, laughing at and with yourself when possible. You may find yourself quite entertaining when you loosen up! I am yet to see a comedian ever go hungry even though his jokes are as ‘old as great-grandma’. Life has to much to offer to allow you to mope around in self pity. Humor is very attractive, very passionate: life-giving.

7. Believe that you are the architect of your destiny. No one can take your passionate future from you except for you! Create your life authentically. As long as there’s still breath in your body, there is no end to how much you can accomplish in a lifetime. The concept of thinking big is all about enjoying your work, which would lead to celebrate a discovery that is born within your hands. Watch everything flow into place with perfect, passionate precision.

It’s interesting how people get wallowed up by something trivial as learning to use a computer, when nowadays that top computer companies are manufacturing software that even the kids can do it. I don’t mean to be condescending, but that’s the idea of not having any positive thinking in your life – you’ll just end up as a dim bulb in a dark corner. So instead of subjecting yourself to what you will be doomed for, make your path by taking the first step with a positive attitude.

I was recently lucky enough to be sent a story which – well if it doesn’t inspire you, you need to crawl under a stone and hibernate til winter 2040!!

This story is a true story about a truly amazing woman who took, probably without even knowing it, the exact steps that it takes to become a true entrepreneur.

• Find a problem
• Find a solution to the problem
• Find a hungry market that has the problem and market to them
• Keep going without waning, allowing nothing to dissuade you…

That woman was Sarah Breedlove.

Why, I hear you ask, is she SO different from any other woman in the world who becomes an emtrepreneur?

Well, if I tell you Sarah was born in 1867 on a Louisiana plantation and was an African American, the daughter of former slaves, can you begin to see why she IS SO inspirational?

Sarah was orphaned at the age of 7 and only survived by working in the cotton fields with her older sister. She got married at the tender age of 14 to escape the abuse of her brother in law.

She had a daughter at the age of 18 and was widowed at the age of 20. She then moved to St Louis to be near her 4 brothers who had become barbers. She worked her butt off for $1.50 a DAY and saved enough to educate her daughter. It was during this time that she began to view the world differently (although I would say that her tenacity and obvious mindset enabled her to do so!).

In her mid twenties she began to suffer from what I would say was alopecia (balding of the scalp). Imagine suffering that as a woman in your mid twenties?

She researched the ailment and tried a ton of home made remedies, one of which was by a lady called Annie Malone – an entrepreneur of the time.

In 1905 Sarah moved to Denver as a sales rep for Annie Malone, and met and married Charles Joseph Walker, a newspaperman. She changed her name to Madam CJ Walker, found a miracle cure for the scalp condition which contained sulphur, had a dream and started her own business.

Now, I am sure she could have mad a nice little business locally with her idea.

NOT Madam CJ Walker

She travelled the deep South and South East of the US for a year and a half KNOCKING DOORS!  giving demonstrations and growing her business. People have never liked door to door salesman let alone the fact that she was a woman in a time when men ruled the home.

• How many times do you think she had the door slammed in her face?
• How many times do you think she suffered rejection?
• How many times you you think she ran the risk of physical abuse ?

What A Woman!

She then moved to Pittsburgh where she opened a college to train people to do what she did.

By 1910 she had settled in Indianapolis and opened a factory. She began to travel the whole of the US telling all about her products.

When she died in 1919 at the age of 51 she had become the first self made woman American millionaire.

NOW !

If Madam CJ Walker did not have a millionaire mindset, then I dont know who has!

If you have your own Business or have thought about starting your own Business or maybe you are just starting out?
