Awhile ago, I got an email from one of the "gurus" I follow and it shocked me. The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry. The major types of industrial automation solutions, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES, are used on a large-scale in process and discrete industries.DCS technologie
Thats a thought that always stays with me in taking my business (or one of my clients businesses) to the very next level. Thing is, were conditioned through the media that everything is supposed to happen miraculously quickly in our lives:Thinner thighs in 30 daysQuit smoking in 2 hoursBuild your list to 30,000 people in 4 monthsSell $100,000.00 worth of products in 2 hoursWhoa. Slow down for a second!Yes, I guess these can be done by some whove been at it for years. But what I see is that, for most people, this sometimes sets up completely unrealistic expectations of what were capable of, and when our initial efforts dont meet those grandiose self-imposed expectations quickly, we begin to go into a place of doubt, worry, fear and then inevitably, resentment and anger, wanting to throw the baby out with the bath water.As solo-entrepreneurs begin to implement BIG steps in their marketing, they often see results immediately, which is comforting. But then, as they begin to stretch beyond their comfort zone and tackle even bigger projects that require some effort for implementation, and it takes some time to do so, sometimes the results need some time to take root. The entrepreneur diligently puts things in place, and it seems like its taken a lot out of them.Then, once all the works done, some entrepreneurs turn around and say So, where are all the results? I mean, Ive been working my butt off over here! Where are the millions of dollars? I expected to see results instantaneously! I know Ive felt that sometimes too, on big projects that Id never tackled before.Heres the process that sometimes occurs:1) Doubt begins to creep in2) Then Worry3) Followed by Fear4) And then irrational Anger (at themselves, at others, at anything)Heres the thing you must remember, as youre charting new territory in your business:Understand that it sometimes takes some time for the seeds youve planted to grow roots, to sprout, grow and then bear fruit that you can eat. Thats why you have to be diligent about planting them quickly and doing whatever it takes to foster them. At the same time, its important to plant as many seeds as possible, so that you have different things cropping up and youre not relying on just one thing in your business to bring you mo-ney.Instead of being in a place of resentment (which will NEVER attract quickly what you want), remember to keep yourself in a place of Positive Expectation. Here is a mantra I created for myself that hangs above my computer in my office:I am positively expecting great results, no matter what I see in front of me. The Universe is rearranging itself for my best interest right now.If ever I get caught up in Why isnt this happening fast enough?, getting into a place of self-doubt or blaming the process, I remind myself of this, and things seem to just work themselves out, rather quickly. Thats the Mindset part of the equation. Then, a sign shows up, the project advances and the results start coming in, quicker than I imagined. But if I stay in that place of doubt, worry or worse, blame, it surely gets worse.You are ultimately responsible for your own successes, your actions, and most importantly how you see your own progress and success. YOU create your future and your results, based on how you choose to see the world and the way you react to life. A person coming from a VICTIM point of view will always see fault in the process. Thats Universal Law. A person coming from a VICTORIOUS point of view will always see opportunity, no matter whats in front of them.How do YOU see whats in front of you? From a victim perspective, or from a victorious position?Your Client Attraction Assignment:Understand that sometimes, the seeds you plant take time to grow. Just as you wouldnt rush Mother Nature and expect a tree to grow in one day, blaming the process of nature for being too slow, is unrealistic. Tend to your marketing seeds. Understand that different plants sprout at different paces, do everything thats required of you, and then get yourself in a place of POSITIVE EXPECTATION.Miraculously, thats when the results happen, quicker than you think.
