Personal Development: The Law of Belief

More Critical Success Factors
In my previous post, The Go-Giver, I discussed a new book, The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea
In another favorite post, 10 Simple Success Strategies, I suggested techniques for coping with day-to-day challenges.
In this post I want to present four laws of success that are psychological, spiritual and metaphysical in nature.
- The Law of Belief. Our motivation and how we act is determined by our underlying beliefs. If we don’t believe that something is possible, we won’t even try to make it happen. Please listen to a conference call I recorded on 8/22/07 that illustrates this concept.
- The Law of Expectation. This is briefly mentioned in the second chapter of The Go-Giver. Our subconscious minds manifest that which we focus on.
- The Law of Attraction. This is the essence of The Secret
book and video. The universe manifests that which we focus on. This is the spiritual or metaphysical counterpart of the Law of Expectation.
- The Law of Appreciation. By recognizing the good in our lives, we show the universe that we’re ready to attract and receive more good. Appreciation accelerates the re-ordering of things and events in the universe, so that good comes to us easily and swiftly.
It’s The Law of Belief that determines how we think, what we focus on, how we act. It determines everything!
Belief is the missing ingredient without which all great ideas, books and courses change nothing. And that’s why all the fantastic personal development books have little or no effect on our lives. Our belief systems are strongly entrenched, and we are unable to assimilate and integrate what we learn.
There is hope, however, as I’ll explain soon in a future post. I promise.

Law 2: People Not Systems
Filed Under Laws and Rules of Thumb, Networking and Marketing Strategy, Personal Development and Success | 8 Comments
As 2007 draws to a close I’m going to share with you something that can make all the difference between success and failure in the coming year.
Your inbox is filled to the brim with ca-ca touting the latest greatest system, juice drink, compensation plan, survey site, list building techniques, Web 2.0 course, etc. etc.
How do you react?
“Maybe at last this one will work. I sure hope. All the others were scams. It better not cost anything.”
Ya-da ya-da ya-da.
Friend, I have to tell you this.
Law Number 2: Business success is centered around people not systems, products, compensation plans or techniques.
The number one person is you. Invest in your continuuing education and personal development. Be willing to change.
Next come your mentors to guide you and “tell it to you like it is”.
Finally there are the people who look up to you. Learn what they really want and need and dedicate yourself to helping them get it.
Focus on people and relationships, and you’ll be more successful in 2008.
Find the right mentor and make a commitment to learn and grow. Everything else will gradually fall into place.
Or focus on systems, products, compensation plans and techniques, and 2008 will be deja vu all over again.
I wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous new year.

Law 1: Build Relationships
Filed Under Laws and Rules of Thumb, Networking and Marketing Strategy | Leave a Comment
This is the absolute most imporatant law of networking online AND offline. Try to violate it, and your efforts will lead to frustration.
Law Number 1: Nobody cares what you say until they know that you care.
Many marketers join social networking sites, add lots of friends and blast them with offers. Recipients click on delete quicker than you or I can say “spiced ham”, and the senders are left scratching their heads. If only they knew the 1st Law.
It’s all about relationships — the core of everything good in life. We’ll discuss relationships in subsequent posts, but for now let me suggest this one thing. Put your online social networking time to good use. Get to know people!

Rule of Thumb 1: Congruence
Filed Under Laws and Rules of Thumb, Networking and Marketing Strategy | Leave a Comment
In recent years the status of the thumb has been elevated.
Which finger do you primarily use with a wireless or cellular phone. Your thumb!
The thumb has been elevated physically. Perhaps we can elevate it intellectually.
Those who know me well are not surprised when I come up with another rule of thumb. And now that you know it, here is…
Rule Number 1: The virtual world parallels the offline world.
Notice, I used the word offline and not the word real. That’s because both are real. When you are trying to figure out how to handle a situation in the virtual world, unless there’s a compelling reason to do otherwise, do as you would do in the offline world.
We shall apply this rule over and over in our discussions of social networking sites.
