The Mastermind-Mindset: A Lesson in Thought-Shifting

On our never-ending quest for achieving the “Internet Lifestyle,” this past Monday we met with Success-Coach & Mentor Pam Ragland, who taught us a little about thought-shifting and removing Success Blocks!

Starting a new Business Venture on a relatively new medium (The Internet), we had NO IDEA that we had pre-conceived beliefs in our Sub-Conscious. Personally, growing up with parents who worked extremely hard for every penny they earned, I have always correlated “making money” and “success” with HARD WORK!

Pam was the first to point out that a thought like that is simply not an Absolute Truth and can actually hold you back on your path to Success. This whole idea of eliminating “limiting beliefs” was really intriguing to all of us, because we realized it was the power of the Internet that is really able to eliminate this “Old Way” of thinking.

The Power of The Internet

We really are in a time of Incredible Change! If you have read books such as The World is Flat and The 4-Hour Workweek, you know just what I am talking about. For the first time in history, WE ALL have the ability to empower ourselves with the knowledge and skills to build a business and change the World!

My autoresponder will automatically send e-mails to subcribers while my Virtual Assistants in the Philippines are bookmarking my blog posts and performing draining data-entry tasks. In the meantime, I am talking in real-time with my programmer in India as he works on my new website. That of course, which leaves me to do what I love doing most: …nothing!

Pam’s advice was eye-opening and very inspiring. She asked great questions that caused us to second-guess these beliefs that we all had about work, success and life. “Why does work have to be hard?” “Do you want to spend the rest of your life working 16 hour days? Is that your definition of Success?”

I pass on a bit of Pam’s wisdom and advice to you now: Next time you sit down to tackle an assignment, whether it is writing a blog post, creating a new product, or cleaning your room, ask yourself “How can I make this process as effortless as possible?” Chances are, you shouldn’t be working as hard as you are!
