Learn to take control of your mind  Do you remember the last time when you really needed to do something, but you just couldn’t because you were constantly thinking of something else? Remember? I do. There are ways to fix that. And no, I’m not going to talk about the waves in the air or about some other mambo-jambo. And I’m not even going to use the word autosuggestion (The term autosuggestion is used for positive or negative physical symptoms explained by the thoughts and beliefs of a person.), even though it is part of the game.... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Learn-to-take-control-of-your-mind--52.html All eggs in one basket? We have all heard the saying "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" but how many of us actually act on that saying?
Without a doubt it's a smart idea not to depend on one certain thing too much. Like me an my online magazine - I got steady and pretty nice traffic from Google & Google News. In June they changed something in their algorithm and I my online magazine lost about 90% of its traffic. Not great, is it? Of course I blame Google. It's always easier to blame others, especially if it's ... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking All-eggs-in-one-basket--50.html Believe in yourself - and no, it's not lame Without a doubt I have talked about this topic, directly or indirectly, before. Most likely the idea has been on those pages a lot. But that's because it's important. It IS part of the business. It DOES influence whether you will be successful or not.
How do you create self-confidence? There's no one possibility but the possibilities are endless. And that's only great. Success all by itself gives you self-confidence. Success in what? It doesn't matter! Success in life! Success in small detail... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Believe-in-yourself---and-no-its-not-lame--49.html The Secret? There is NO secret I think many of you have heard about or seen the movie The Secret. I agree that there's a few good points in it, but overally...huh, oh well. Here's what I have to say about it -
The Secret - there is no secret. There's only one main thing you should think about. Do you believe in yourself? Do you believe you can do something? The belief is important. That's true without a question. But it's not about the law of attraction (if you believe in such things), it's not about any waves going throu... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking The-Secret-There-is-NO-secret--45.html Thoughts on motivation, negative influences and ... Criticism is something that often disturbs us the most. In some cases we could also call it negative influences. People, who don’t believe in you, people who say you will never get anywhere. Get over it. Don’t pay attention to them. Rather, if someone is very negative towards your ideas, use it to motivate you. And rather look company from more positive people.
Think of what you want to become not what you are nor what you don’t want to become. The more you think of what you don’t want to be... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Thoughts-on-motivation-negative-influences-and---44.html Change? Huh! The funny thing about change is that it’s our greatest ally for accomplishment, still most of us resist change. Some of us are explicitly running away from change. When you have been doing something the same way for days, months, years, decades and then feel like doing something completely different, then at first it looks like a good idea. But then you start thinking about it. It’s a 180 degrees different life you are thinking about. And that scares the hell out of you. That’s the moment you’re... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Change-Huh--42.html Failures are good as long as... Failures are good. Mistakes you have made, bad decisions, failures are there to teach you something, teach you what does not work, what you should not do in the future. And if you really do learn from your mistakes, then how the hell can they be bad, they gave you a lesson and you learned from them. And learning is always good.
While at first, after making a mistake, depending on what it was, you might feel pretty down, but think of it this way – how does that help you? Yes, you might have d... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Failures-are-good-as-long-as--38.html Keeping your goals in mind I must warn you, what follows, was totally unacceptable for me for years. Mainly for one reason, I didn’t understand why. It’s writing down your goals with specific deadlines, writing down your goals like you have already achieved it all. And then rewriting them twice a day, or even if not rewriting them then at least reading them again twice a day with thought.
Why? You’re a 9-5 worker or you’re not doing very well. It’s very hard to imagine and actually start believing that you can earn a ... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Keeping-your-goals-in-mind--36.html What if you were your client? This is another good WHAT IF questions to ask from yourself. You have a business, you have ideas how to make your business successful, you have your own problems, you have your clients to worry about. But forget about it all for a moment.
Put yoursel in your client’s shoes. Imagine you’re your client who needs your service, productt or anything else. Only now you will start to see what problems your clients have or may have with your service or product. Only now you can see what you’d need mo... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking What-if-you-were-your-client--35.html What if you only had a year to live? Imagine you only have one year to live. Each of us would act differently on this event. Most likely the first day or two we would be sort of depressed and spend the time thinking. But what follows is important...
It doesn’t matter whether it’s one week, one month or one year, each of us would make changes to our lives one way or another. But one week or one month would be a bit too short time to even think about money and business, thus our chosen time frame is one year.
We would want to ... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking What-if-you-only-had-a-year-to-live--34.html Business mindset Firstly, I think both you and I are tired of people saying you need think right, you need to be positive, you need to believe in things, blah blah blah. Always the same old story. Why can’t anyone tell you something worthwhile? Something you could actually use? Well, until a short time ago I felt the same. Not anymore. Because I wanted to figure out why are many successful people saying that. Often, they say that you need to believe and so on, but they don’t say why. But the why part here is the... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Business-mindset--32.html Life, work and everything else Many of you have noticed my recent inactivity in posting. Not to worry, this blog isn't dead, neither is going to be dead and it's not even the problem of not having enough to write about. There is, there's lots of ideas, knowledge and advice to be shared. The reason for my recent inactivity is somewhat different.
I write on the same days when I work. And I work on my own schedule which means that sometimes I might work 18 hours a day, but then again, sometimes I might not work for a week. Th... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Life-work-and-everything-else--31.html In search of motivation In order to become and stay successful, motivation is one of the most important thing. Because if you’re not motivated enough, you stop working, start working on useless things or just start killing time.
In order to stay motivated you need to keep the big picture in mind. I know how easy it is to lose the big picture, even if just for a day. But even one day is one lost day.
Be sure to have a set of goals written down and never forget them. If necessary, read them out loud every day or e... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking In-search-of-motivation--20.html Long-term plan is an illusion Now, I have never been fond of long planning. I mean planning ahead, too far ahead. And there’s a good reason for that. While certain people claim they can predict the world – eg financial analysts, business advisors and so on, the world is not predictable.
Think of the biggest stock market crashes, those analysts who are giving advice or who claim they know the future in some field, they did not expect these crashes. And at other times, they expected certain things, but before they actually... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Long-term-plan-is-an-illusion--13.html Risking what you can't afford to lose? The lower the risk, the lower the possible outcome.
The old saying that you should only bet what you can afford to lose is wrong. Unless what you can afford to lose is something big, maybe 100% of your fortune? Okay, that’s usually too much but I hope you get the idea. The thing is that usually the amount you can afford to lose is too little to do you any good even if you manage to doubble or even tripple it. You play on stockmarkets with 100 bucks, you win 100 bucks extra.

However, most people want to win without betting. Without risking. We don’t want to take any big risks, whether neccessary or unneccessary. Life is a gamble, you know it. And in order to win, you need to place bets. Most of us however try to place as little and few bets as humanly possible. But that’s not the way to go. In order to get something you need to risk something. And that’s the often overlooked universal rule. ... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking Expose-yourself-to-risk-worry--4.html Open your mind to new business opportunities You are doing good.
