HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN BUSINESS
1: Intro To The Mindset
You may wonder what magical powers do rich and wealthy possess? What are their secrets?The rich think differently. Their millionaire attitude sets them apart. The poor people do not have that kind of mindset that the rich individuals have.
The Start Point
You can be successful in your financial and personal life, though you are strong-willed. Your subconscious mind is very powerful and can influence your conscious mind. It can either make you or break you.
For achieving financial success, you should bring change in your thinking pattern. In addition, for that change you need do as follow:
- Start thinking positively. What you love you starting concentrating on it and what you concentrate on you start loving it. So concentrate on what you want to be or what you want. Your subconscious mind will help you achieve it.
- Create your own path to success. Trying to follow others will help you to some extent but your goal will not be achieved. You should follow your own voice.
- If you do not love yourself you will never be rich. Because if you do not feel that you deserve the best, you will not be able to work towards it.
- For achieving success, you should be doing what you love doing. If you are stuck up in a job, which you detest, you will not work hard as you do not enjoy it. Even if you spend ten or more hours daily, you will not succeed.
- Stop feeling jealous for successful people. Jealousy is a negative emotion and it will only bring negativity into your life. You will be diverted from the path of achieving money and wealth.
- You should not blame others for your failure. Start taking responsibility for whatever happens in your life. As you would like to take credit for your success, learn to accept your failure’s too without pointing fingers at others for the same. It will make you a more responsible person.
Do you want to change your status and want to become wealthy? Bring the above-mentioned changes in your attitude towards life. Prosperity and opulence will find its way into your life with your positive attitude.
2. Finding Out Your Life Purpose
In absence of a goal in life, you will not know what to do.
It is important to understand the importance of your existence
When you try to think about what is the mission or purpose of your life, you may not get a clear picture of it. We lack clarity and intelligence for finding our real purpose in life.
It is possible that you may have many goals in your life and may not be able to identify the real one, specific to you. How to bring that one mission out of your mind that will lead you to success? What will happen if you are not able to relate to your dreams? What is next?
Important Info
Your connection with reality may be the foundation of your purpose. Not having decided purpose in life does not mean you do not have one. It is not something you will just wake up to, one day. You have to work hard to determine it. You may not have the option of choosing it, as you have many choices. Many of the choices may not even be genuine.
While targeting your purpose you will have to exhibit the ability to perceive it. You need to create a method to achieve your purpose, steps that will lead you to your purpose in life. These methods and processes get you the answer to your question and make you say, “This is it!”
Once you determine your goal, you work towards achieving it passionately. So the first step is to go with your emotional intelligence because it will help you identify your purpose correctly.
Here is how you go about it:
- You need something to write down, like a piece of paper or word processor in your computer.
- At the top of the page jot down, “What is the real purpose of my life?”
- Whatever answer comes to your mind write it down. It may be short a short phrase and not a properly framed sentence as an answer.
- Keep on repeating step three, until you have tears of joy on finding the purpose of your life.
Applying logic and reasoning to find out what are your views on life is another method. It will be easy for you to do this if you are more precise and immaculate.
The other way around is to use logic and reason to work for your situation. It will be easy if you are more exact and clear in your thoughts.
Apply your total context of the real situation on yourself, to find out your real purpose in life. Try to understand where you stand in your present understanding of reality.
This is a very simple way to follow and hence easy to miss it. What you are doing is, understanding your view on your approach of life and turning those into your qualities.
Where you stand in your present interpretation of a situation in life, to discover your goal, you need to find out. Your total context of reality represents yourself and this helps you understand your purpose in life.
The ideas you have about life makes your personality if you have a negative attitude towards life that means you are a negative person. When you are clear about your ideas, you will find the purpose of life, which is achievable and reasonable. It is like a hologram. When you cut a piece of it, the entire picture is still in the smaller piece. You are like a piece and the whole of the hologram is the reality. You will find that something is wrong when you have wrong ideas about yourself in your mind so, this technique will discover what problems you have about the notions of reality.
Both techniques will help you find out your purpose and to know where they lead you. If you have a healthy context, you will get results by applying both the techniques. You will find out that the rational and emotional intelligence will point out to your purpose in life in different ways but they will be saying the same thing.

6. “Attraction” A Powerful Tool
In our day-to-day conversation, we have all come across the theory of the law of attraction with the use of words like “positive thinking” and so. The theory may be new for us, but spiritual thinkers have had belief in these theories for many years.Draw It In
Our power of thinking is very strong. It attracts whatever we want into our life. All of the universe will work towards achieving what we desire for whenever we think or talk about it.
If we think negatively, we will be uttering negative words often. “I will not be able to perform” or “I am not capable of”. The Universe will pick up these words from your thoughts and give it back to you. Negativity will keep you away from your goal.
You can bring changes in your life by being positive about everything in your life. Your life will not change overnight it will take time.

7. Self-Introspection
Wrong notions in mind will lead you nowhere. You will never be able to attain the kind of wealth.Many people believe that they do not have the ability to earn the kind of money that is needed for living luxuriously. They have negative ideas in their mind. What others think about them, have become a basis for analyzing their own self. They strongly believe that however hard they work they will not succeed. These negative thoughts become the vision of your life.
Look Within
Do not believe in something, just because everyone shares the same notion. Keep questioning those ideas. Do not follow the herd blindly. If large numbers of people believe in something that does not necessarily, certify it to be true. People in old days believed that the earth was flat and the sun moved around it. Today, we all know this is not the truth. Even though everybody believed this, that did not mean it was right.
Constantly question yourself. It is easy and tempting to take comfort in these beliefs when we are facing hardships in life. These beliefs give you a sense of security. You are apprehensive to accept that they can be false.
If you are clear in your thoughts you will find that real belief, will stand the test of time and the wrong notions will not. Hence, remove these notions out from your life. Keep asking yourself, “Can this be trusted?” What is the guarantee that this is the truth? “Is this really the truth?”
Beliefs, which have not tested, are like fairy tales, they may comfort you at a time, you may find them to be pretty, find them funny, as it is what you want to believe but not necessarily be the truth.
Are these your notions about money? Do you have mentioned these ideas about money often, seriously or casually? If you do, that means unknowingly these notions are influencing your relationship with money.

Ch8. Goodwill and Benevolence
Benevolence is very important, whether through your physical work or by emotions. It is not only beneficial to the person at the receiving end but also to yourself. Selflessness can be shown in various ways.
The Good
When you concentrate on others instead of yourself, positive energies build up and situations are created for success. They unravel themselves in form of unexpected and abundant positive responses. This may include a change of behavior from being a miser and mean to selflessness. Good luck with the inflow of abundant money may come your way with such kind gestures.
A miserly man decided to pay for the education of his friend’s son, whose financial background was not so strong. This gesture is out of his character. Next day all of a sudden he receives payment for the invoice, which has been pending since long.
(In the above circumstances, the miser man understood the link between forgetting his stringiness and the positive response he got from life. He also noted that the amount, which he generously gave away, was almost equal to the amount he received from the unexpected quarters)
Benevolence and generosity
You can bring good luck in your life by being kind and generous towards others. When an individual send appreciation and goodwill to his friends and different customers he was showered with good news in form of money, sales, and other good luck.
Have goodwill at work.
To attract money you need to have goodwill towards the other people around you as well as circumstance and situation around you. Goodwill in your work will attract lots of money into your life. The outflow of surplus goodwill will create an inflow of surplus money. For example, if a salesman puts his 100% effort in his work, it is possible that the day he will experience good luck in form of more demand, more work, and more opportunities etc.
This example shows you that the use of goodwill can be directly related to money and success.
Why do goodwill and benevolence attract money?
Think of money as force and not a thing. The force believes in encouraging mutual advantages relationship between individuals. Money is the power for human interchange and communication.
Money can be compared to language. Language enables human to interact with other humans. Think of a person who decides to remain silent and wants to keep all the words to himself.
Will this decision help him? Definitely no! The language itself is for communication. Language grows and is beneficial only if we use it for communication. The more you use it the more you understand it and are able to relate to it. Language enables a single person to communicate with the whole society. We do not store language. Therefore we can conclude that more people use our language, it much easier to relate to others. It can be applied to money.
Money is similar to language. When we relate money to others, money grows. When we help others to prosper and try to encourage success in individuals around us, we will attract money. Goodwill and benevolence will attract more flow of money into our life. The more you give, the more you receive.
