Lets be honest, when someone talks of the power of positive thinking, we are likely to dismiss it as mumbo jumbo. There are a number of reasons why we shouldn’t, however, as organisations such as the Enlightened Wealth Institute are finding that more and more people want to know how to harness this hidden talent.

How does it work? Well, it’s quite simple €“ we look carefully at ourselves and work out what it is that we do well, and why it is that those things we don’t do well are so hard. Finding the root is important as, once we know where to look, we can start working on that area of our personality and strengthen weaknesses in that area.

Positive thinking can help in health terms €“ it has been shown that those who ‘fight’ illnesses can recover more quickly €“ and in general terms, as we enjoy a happier and less stressful life, but in business terms the power of positive thinking comes into its own.

Courses run by the Enlightened Wealth Institute are designed to help people who need to enhance their confidence in order to get more out of life, and there are many books and ebooks that can help you on the way to unleashing your positive side.

We all live busy lives these days, and often we find ourselves under undue, an unnecessary, stress. This does not have to be so, however, as if we can engage our aptitude for positive thinking, we can work to overcome many problems.

Positive thinking is, quite simply, a mental attitude that we are not programmed to bring to the fore, one that €“ as people €“ we have, but often don’t use.

There are those who dismiss positive thinking as a myth, but this is clearly not the case, and there are several outlets and organisations who deal in teaching us how to access our talent for positive thinking €“ the Enlightened Wealth Institute is one such €“ particularly in relation to how we operate in business.

Those that live a life that is enhanced by positive thinking are able to make decisions in a better light, and to take major leaps without being afraid of doing the wrong thing €“ very important assets in the world of business.

Whether you train to harness the power of positive thinking via a book or an ebook, or by an organisation such as the Enlightened Wealth Institute, the advantages of utilising positive thought will enhance you life in both health and business.

On to lesson II of what I learned from the enlightened wealth institute.

2. The Power of YOUR Mindset – When it comes to being an entrepreneur, it can be very daunting to face your F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real) and I vividly remember Karen Nelson Bell sitting down with me on a personal one-to-one discussion in 2003 where she laid it out plain and simple that you MUST visualize your future as today and even write a letter to Robert Allen or your loved ones as if it was three years out and here is the exercise:

• Write the letter in your positive, “I’ve achieved all my dreams possible”, state of mind and invoke ALL five senses in your letter. For example, describe the smooth grip of your leather steering wheel on your red convertible corvette as the wind brushes your hair and the sun caresses your skin as you roar down the pacific coast highway toward your 5,000 square foot home overlooking Laguna Beach”

More than five years ago I took my first real estate investing course, the enlightened wealth institute workshop and after those 3 intense days…my first thought was “Why the heck don’t they teach this stuff in high school, college, or for goodness sakes…even MBA courses!”.
