Are You Growing Your Problems or Shrinking them?
There’s a lot of anxiety around the world and the business community at present. I work with executives, business owners, and sales professionals and in my general sessions I’m noticing increasing preoccupation even amongst star performers about their targets, obstacles to achievement, and potential failure.
Here’s what else I’m noticing… The more people focus on these things, the more they become self-fulfilling prophecies!
We’re not talking about non-starters here, we’re talking about people who are achieving above average results, but who are buried under a mound of anxiety…
- What about my future health, cancer, etc?
- What about my income, employment, promotion?
- What about my next performance review?
What about the broader economy? - What about… etc.
Some of these people have already seen their results and performance decline… But what is really fascinating and encouraging is watching the impact that this simple transformation can make on outcomes.
In my sales trainings I talk a lot about the importance of mindset and how you can derail a sale unconsciously because sometimes your unconscious mind is talking so loudly that prospects don’t hear the words you speak. Actually, this isn’t just a problem for business and sales conversations it’s also an issue for your personal relationships, health, wealth and happiness.
