It does work and, in a moment, I will explain how and why. I can hear some of you more skeptical readers saying, sure, prove it. I will, I promise. As A Man Thinketh and Florence Scovel Shinn in The Game of Life all written in the 1920s, taught us we could use the power of our minds to become more successful. Most of you, especially if youve been in business for a while, have probably been to a seminar on personal development.
Seminars are great.
The problem is, as Im sure youve experienced, that a week or two after the seminar you are right back into your less than productive habits. You left the seminar all charged up and once the excitement wore off, you slipped back into your pre-seminar behavior. Reading books and listening to self-help tapes is also a great practice but, like seminars, if it is not done on a regular basis it is not nearly as powerful. The operative word here is regular. The Japanese have a word, Kaizen, which means making small daily improvements in every area of your life.
