The Entreprenurial – Mind, Body &Soul
So you want success? You want to build great companies and make some dough along the way? Have lots of fun and make a dent in the universe?
Well that´s possible! And it starts with how and what you think about every single day. Another important fact to state is that everything starts with you. It doesn´t matter what you have experienced and how many excuses you have that relate to your current situation, because you can change where you are and get whatever you want. My coach Rick Salmon has taught me something VERY important that relates to how most people are programmed. First they want to “have” things, then “do” stuff so they can “be” somebody that is perceived a certain way.
1) Have
2) Do
3) Be
This however is the wrong order. To make things happen in a more effortless manner you first have to;
1: BE
2: DO
3: HAVE
If you want to be a successfull entrepreneur then start thinking and acting like one (this does not in any way imply that you should be arrogant or obnoxious, because they are not that way!!!). But “Acting as If” is very powerful, because it shifts your state. And that is something you can do in a instant. You can do that without having aquired any more wealth. Simple! Yeah right!
The crazy thing is…it is that simple, but so increadibly hard to do.
So that´s what this page is about. How can we apply this simple principle to our everyday life?
Well there are a whole range of techniques out there and I´m currently testing quite a few of them. The great thing is that anything and everything you do in a positive direction does count towards something greater, but you don´t really see the results the next day. The trick is to consistently (daily) applying effort towards reshaping your habits and routines. It´s not a one day quick fix kinda thing, but a life-long-learning process.
Taking out the TRASH
The first step I have taken is to take out the trash. With trash I mean the noise that consistently is coming at us from all interaction with the outer world; news, tv-shows, advertising, friends, family etc. Try to cut these out for a period of time each day and really think about what you want in your life. Listening to your inner voice is not an easy thing to do, but it´s essential if you want to reach your potential. Leo Babauta has written a great article about “Finding Your Inner Voice” that i recommend reading.
Learning about these and how you apply yourself in these areas are the foundation of your life.
It´s important that you come to terms with the fact that you can do anything. All you have to do is learn how to focus your mind in conjunction with your body and soul, then you can move mountains. However this is not an instant process and it takes time to learn how to do this, but if you find out what you really want to do and you focus on it every single day, you will make it happen.

iPhone Apps
There are quite a few iPhone Apps that can assist you in programming your brain to work in your favour. The one i use the most is Deep Sleep by Andrew Johnson. This is hypnosis at its most simple level, but very effective for us busy brained hyperactive entrepreneurs that are consistently working and thinking about how to better ourselves and our business. I have downloaded all the ones in green and tested them at least once and enjoy them all, but find them hard to fit into my daily schedule. However seeing as the Deep Sleep app is so effective I´m sure the other ones work very well as long as you consistently use them. Remember “You are what you consistently do. Excellence therefore, is not an act. It is a habit.” – Aristotle
