Tip 4: Monitor your own self talk

No one knows how to create negative chatter in your mind, more than you do. With the flip of a switch, you can turn off negative self talk and give yourself positive and encouraging self talk.

Here’s how you can spot negative self talk. It will sound something like:

• I don’t know if I can succeed in today’s market

• I don’t know if there’s enough business to go around

• Maybe it’s time for me to get a “real job”

After working with entrepreneurs for the past 10 years to help them to double and triple the incomes, I have found an easy technique to intervene and create a positive mindset.

The next time you notice any negative self talk, just say STOP! Then take a breath and put in some positive new thoughts. Here are some examples of positive thoughts I have helped my clients create:

• I have the skills and confidence to succeed in any economy

• There’s more than enough to go around

• The bottom line is - no matter what, people will always need my expert services

• I do work I love and I’m richly rewarded
