The Power Of Your Thoughts Why your mindset is essential for success
I
n science there is something known as the law of causality. This states that every effect or anything that happens must be caused by something and
that the effect must always come before the cause.
Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? But what’s this got to do with being more successful in your business?
Most people imagine that the cause of all effects is an action; the physical actions we undertake and behaviours we carry out.
But let’s just stop for a moment and ask the question: what causes us to take those actions? What causes one person to take the kinds of actions that lead to success whilst others take the actions that lead to failure?
At some point before you take an action – you make a decision to take that action. That decision is usually some kind of thought that you think. With this rationale we understand that all actions stem from thoughts. So thoughts lead to actions which lead to success or failure.

It would seem that the thoughts we think are pretty important for getting the kinds of results we want.
Let’s take this thought; “The economy is so bad that no one is spending any money”
Imagine a business person has adopted this thought as a belief. How motivated do you imagine they will be to make sales calls and drive their business forward? The answer is likely to be not very, because what would be the point if they believe that no-one is buying? How motivated would they be to invest in marketing? Not very! And ultimately how successful are they likely to be? Not very!
Now let’s imagine another business person with is thinking “The bad economy puts me ahead of the game because other companies are marketing less” and “I can succeed no matter what the economy because people will always invest in value”
This business person invests in marketing, makes lots of sales calls and takes all kinds of actions that will lead to their success.
The strange thing is that even if you are taking the right actions, if you don’t fully believe success is possible you are unlikely to experience the same levels of success. This is why it is so vital to think as positively as possible.
Positive thinking – what is it?
When most people think of positive thinking in rather simplistic terms. they think Its’ just about thinking positive thoughts. Right? Wrong!
Positive thinking is about using your mindset to the best effect. But what most people don’t realise is that over 98% of thoughts are completely unconscious. We may be thinking positive thoughts consciously , but if negative beliefs are running underneath in the subconscious, they will act like a “thought virus” and sabotage our success.
The way to get your thinking into good order is to work WITH your mind and not against it.
