EM4S: Empower your Mind for Success: Recent Episodes
Anish A Verma
Your mindset and your belief systems are the most important aspect of your entrepreneurial foundation. If you have this right you can scale any height no matter what business you are in. And if you understand the scientific reasons why things are the way they are, your probability to adopt the entrepreneurial frameworks will increase exponentially. Listen to this podcast to launch your business by leveraging your strengths, upgrading your midset, and monetizing your potential!
God does not create junk and if we all have unlimited potential, then how is it that a very few of us achieve it. How can they leverage the science and principles that work for all humans the same way? The first step is intent and then you need to remind yourself of your dreams. Under this context, you can begin the investigative journey and ask yourself why do you believe what you believe. You will find your answers.
A good leader must demonstrate accountability as it feeds into other attributes of being professional, ethical, and integral. The words that a leader uses become very important and have to be chosen carefully, cause those words when a person hears repeatedly become thoughts that reshape your belief systems and the decisions you make in life. Ensure you are following good leaders and mentors!
When you repeatedly hear or do things you think of them repeatedly think of them. The more you think those thoughts the more ingrained they become. The more ingrained they are they become your belief patterns and your belief patterns become your belief systems. Your decision-making framework leverages the belief system to decipher right from wrong!
Continuing on the discussions in episode #174 and understanding why people make certain decisions they do, it is to understand where decisions are made in the mind and what is the decision-making framework. Why do beliefs become so important in our decisions.

The last few months have been tough on this entire world and especially in the US.

Imagination when practiced vividly and daily allows you to create a ritual to find tranquility and calmness in your mind. A calm mind is a calm body.

And when you can focus more you will achieve more.
Humans are colonies of more than 50 trillion cells. All these cells carry a genetic memory that is based on the basic premise to strive for growth and achieve more and more.

As long as you do not quit, you have not given up!
Napolean Hill, in his book 'Think and Grow Rich' says "Mans only limitation, within reason, lies in his development and use of his imagination". This creative faulty becomes stronger in proportion to how much you use it! So get wild with your imagination and achieve your dreams!
Dreaming and chasing our dreams down is one of the main purposes of our lives. If we have forgotten our dreams then what are we living for? And isn't then our life one of mediocrity?
When you have clarity and focus on what you want and what your purpose is, you have triggered the laws of the universe and the science to transform your want into desire and your desire into a burning desire. When your desire is a burning desire your dream will become a reality! Nothing can stop you!
In 1936 Napolean Hill in this book 'Think and Grow Rich' explained 'Auto-suggestion' as one of the steps to get rich. 50 years later Dr. Sahd Helmstetter explained the concept of Neuroplasticity in his book 'What to say when you talk to yourself'. In this podcast, I make an attempt to explain the connection between them and why auto-suggestion is a science-based principle.
Over time we all get conditioned to respond a certain way to certain stimuli or a trigger from the environment. This automatic response helps us to keep ourselves safe, but they also become hurdles on our way to our dreams. The good news is there is a way you can change your response.
Meditation helps calm your mind down to allow the radio of your mind to tune itself into the right thoughts and ideas for you. The more you practice this the better thoughts you receive and these thoughts form stronger neural pathways in your brain leading you to achieve what you are looking for!
How will you know what you don't know? And if you do not know, how will you ever know what needs fixing? The only way is to be intentional and to be aware. But to be aware you need to be clear about your purpose.

We all deserve to make our life a heroic one, for our family and our community. What is stopping you from getting there? Seek help and surround yourself with like-minded people to get to your destination sooner.

If you are not happy with the answers you find in your life, maybe you should consider changing the questions you ask!
You can only give to others what you have, and if what you have is limiting beliefs you might be unintentionally, passing that along! So upgrade your limiting beliefs and pass on positivity and encouragement to others around you!
Your results in life come from the actions you take, the actions that you take repeatedly. Repeated actions become your habits. Your actions come from your thoughts. The main starting question is what kind of results are you looking for and they better be based on an identity change.
Constructive feedback is to help you course-correct and get back on the path towards your dreams and goals. Being too sensitive to this feedback will hurt you in the long run!

You are not alone. Clarity of the results you are trying to achieve is the starting point and then everything else will follow. Humans are goal-striving machines and without a goal we are rudderless. When you have clarity then there are two more steps you need to take to decide which business is right for you!

A very important question to ask and you may have to go into your ancestral history to find some answers. But it is imperative you do if you would like to get your time back!
Humans are designed as goal striving machines and Dr. Maxwell Maltz in his book "Psycho-Cybernetics" does an amazing job explaining this. A must-read book if you have not already read it. However, the question is whose goals are you striving for? Are they your parents, your families, or yours? If you want to feel you lived a meaningful life, a worthy life, you have to be brutally honest with yourself to answer this question.

People say that the entrepreneurial journey is a personal growth journey. The only way to grow is to take action, learn from your mistakes, and keep pushing your boundaries.

Entrepreneurs know that success and failure are companions. However, the important question is ho defines success and failure.
Sharting your message with the world requires courage and it requires you to be vulnerable. If requires you to put yourself out there and take a risk of being judged. But what if it positively impacts the life of one person, would you think it is worth it then?
Growing up seeking permission from our parents, teachers, bosses become a ritual for us. We get so used to it that seeking permission or validation of our decision before we make it is what we call as being 'thorough'. However, this habit, this ritual could hurt you on your entrepreneurial journey.
It is interesting that we learn so much from nature. Every time it rains, I notice that the weeds in my backyard grow much faster than other plants.

Statistics will provide a lot of data around capital infusion, lack of revenue, clients, team, market situation etc. But you first fail in your mind and then in reality. So check to see if your own belief systems and mindset are pulling you down. Is your cup of wisdom full or are you capable of receiving advice?
One of the keys to entrepreneurship is speed. Mastermind groups allow you to achieve not only speed but a supportive environment of like-minded people and potential business partners and long term clients.

To ask for help requires an acknowledgment that you may not know something. This acknowledgment only comes when you are consciously aware of your strengths and challenges, which means you are at a much higher level of thinking. The bottom line is, it means you are far too ahead of others who are not at that high level of thinking as yet!
If you are on the edge and in two minds of starting or restarting your entrepreneurship journey, take the plunge. The only way to do it is to start. And you do not have to do it alone, if you extend your hand for help, you will find several people willing to extend theirs to help!

Have you heard people say 'have faith', which means that you have to make a choice to have faith., isn't it? If it is a choice, then you can make it again and again and if you do so, it will become a habit. All successful entrepreneurs have built strong habits of faith and practice it rigorously.
During the JMT IMC Virtual conference this past weekend, some in the chat window spoke about thew word fail as an acronym spelled out as First Attempt In Learning.

Dr. Paul Stoltz gave this world his creation - Adversity Quotient, defined as a measurement of how well you perceive challenges and how well you deal with them.

If you can only grow and be successful by giving, as all the sages say, the assumption being implied is that someone is receiving! But who gives and who receives? How do universal laws apply?
Which quadrant are you in, be truthful about it and identify where you want to be. If you know the path, then you can find the right people to get there!
Did you know the word sell comes from an old English word - Sellan and it means to give. Always provide more value and you will be able to sell more!
However all the questions we seek answers for are answered in the ancient texts irrespective of the religion you practice! Then why are we struggling as human kind?
Never, unless that action of quitting is a course correction or a pivot to create value for your end clients.
All humans as God’s creation are ‘engineered for success’ as Dr. Maxwell Maltz rightly put it in his book Pshyco - Cybernetics in 1960. So how is it that all of us do not achieve our fullest potential and only some do?
As entrepreneurs speed is of the essence and you do not want to get bogged down by venters. How do you find them?
The answer is a resounding yes!!! But what should you compare is a different matter altogether!!!

The short answer is no. But if you can do certain things you can dilute their impact. Listen to find out how.

Humans are formed of trillions of cells. The cellular life form evolved into what we are today by aspiring to be more and seek more. It is hard wired in us to seek more!!

Systems and frameworks help create building blocks to grow your business at a faster pace
Strive to keep your OS and software updated. That is the only way you can achieve mastery and come up with cutting edge ideas!

Today I read a quote from James Clear (Atomic Habits) that made me lean back and ponder! Listen to what his quote was about!
Being a student means you are hungry and you have a burning desire to learn, become good first on your way to becoming better and better. An attribute all successful entrepreneurs have.
When you believe in something with all your heart and might, it is natural for you to alienate some people and attract some. There is no money in the middle anyway!
