3. CHANGE YOUR MINDSET, CHANGE YOUR LIFE

The 80/20 rule has a special application in relation to the psychology of business
success. It states that 80% of your success is determined by the way you perceive
yourself and your world. Your mind is very powerful. Your thoughts have a huge
impact on everything that happens to you. This principle is expressed: “Nothing has
more meaning than which you personally give”. Dr. Martin Seligman from the
University of Pennsylvania believes that “the way we interpret things, either positively
or negatively, determines how we feel and react to such events”. If you interpret a
setback or difficulty as a learning experience, your response will be positive and
constructive. You will find a valuable lesson in that experience. What’s more, it will
benefit and grow with any temporary setback or failure.

80% of your success as an entrepreneur and as a person will be determined by his

way of your thinking, something that has been object of studies and writings for more
than 5,000 years. Through history, certain immutable laws of the mind have been
discovered and rediscovered that have been taught in various ways, in different places
and through the ages.

All religions, philosophies, psychology, and success itself, are based on the
following laws:

What’s your answer?

Why your way to think can predict your success?

What do you understand by: “the way we interpret things, either positively or negatively, determines
how we feel and react to such events”?

5. Do you have any pencil left?

Everybody is doing it, but

why?
If you are learning English, you are not alone, by far more people are learning English than any other languag

So why is English so popular? Is it because the grammar is so simple? While nobody claims that
English is the least complicated languages in the world, it’s simpler than any others, but then think
in all the exceptions. You learn a rule and then discover there are 20 ways to break it.
English doesn’t own its popularity to vocabulary, either. A word can have four or five different
meanings, and spelling in English is much harder than Spanish or German. Spelling is so hard, in
fact, that is a major problem for a lot of native speaker.

Most leaners however are less concerned with spelling than with pronunciation. Can any body
explain why tough doesn’t rhyme with though or cough? The reason English is popular probably
has more to do with the global economy than with the languages itself. English is the main
languages of international business, academy conference, airport and air-traffic control,
technology, diplomacy sport, pop music and advertising.

Around 70% of scientific articles are written in English and about 80% of all electronically-stored
information is in English. It’s pretty clear, isn’t it? If you want to go places in life, there’s one
thing you need to take with you- English!

4. THE LAW OF BELIEFS

The law of belief states that: “no matter what you believe in, if you believe it with
feeling or conviction, it will become your reality”. William James from Harvard University
said that: “Belief creates the fact”. In the New Testament Jesus says, “According to your
faith it will be done unto you”. Your deepest beliefs, your deepest convictions, greatly
determine how you think, feel, and act, and the results you get. If you feel firmly
optimistic and sure of yourself and your ultimate success, nothing can prevent you from
achieving your goals. On the other hand, if you have negative beliefs of fear, doubts of
yourself and inferiority, nothing can help you.

On a study of more than 500 successful men and women, most of whom started from
cero and then came to the top of their respective fields, it was determined that their
common belief was that: “no matter what happened, I would eventually triumph”. These
people had an unshakable confidence in their ability to overcome all difficulties and
eventually win. They saw in each setback or disappointment a learning experience that
would help them do things better, because of their faith, they became unstoppable.

4.1. No one is better, or smarter than you.

The most common concept that many people hold and that stop them on their way
to success is that others are better or smarter than them. Inside, they say, “I'm not that
great”. If you truly believe that those who do better than you are therefore better or
more talented, you will not try hard to achieve your goals, and will give up more easily.

The truth is that nobody is better nor more intelligent than you. You have more
talent, ability and potential than you could use in 100 lives time. You can achieve any goal
you set yourself, if you wish and are willing to try hard enough. If someone momentarily
get better than you, it is simply because that person has first discovered the cause and
effect relationships that lead to success in that particular area. But what another has
learned you can also learn it.

In order to succeed as an entrepreneur, you must fully believe that you have
everything you need to overcome all obstacles and achieve any goal that is proposed. On
the way to wealth, there will be many dangers, deviations, disappointments and
temporary failures. But when one firmly believes that at the end you will triumph, you
will not allow anything to stop you. You will find a way to overcome, circumvent or
undermine any obstacle. When you believe 100% in your ability to succeed, you become
unstoppable. This is the first quality for success in the business world and personal life.

What’s your answer?

What power do the beliefs have?
