Subconscious Mind

You might think that you get a break from a destructive mindset when you’re sleeping, but sadly, this is not the case. No matter if you’re awake, asleep or somewhere in between, your mindset directly affects the kind of things that your subconscious mind tells you.

If you have a negative mindset, your subconscious mind could be reinforcing negative attitudes at night while you’re sleeping. Even your dreams could have an impact. Suppose that deep inside, you don’t really believe that you have the ability or power or skill or whatever it is that you believe you are lacking – to be a successful entrepreneur.

Until you change that mindset, you’ll be getting it from your mind when you're awake, when you are asleep, and pretty much always, for the rest of your life until you’re dead, and who knows, maybe not even then. While you’re unconscious your subconscious mind will be working overtime to plant seeds of doubt that will keep you from success.

The Cost of Making Big Changes

Are you a smoker or have you ever been a smoker? If not, do you know someone who has? If any of those are true you might be aware that when people desire to quit smoking one of the biggest barriers that stand in their way is that they believe that they will be sacrificing something if they give up cigarettes.

Their brain somehow convinces them that they’re going to be giving up a huge part of themselves – a vital part of themselves – if they quit smoking. Of course, the truth is, that all the things that they’ll be giving up such as poor health, difficulty breathing, increased risk for lung cancer and the rest, are all things that they want to give up anyway. They’re not

giving up a part of themselves and all. In fact, there getting a part of themselves back.

But the mind isn’t an easy thing to convince. Defense mechanisms are built up, pathways in the brain are forged and that metaphorical wall is built, reinforced and then surrounded by a dozen snarling Rottweilers.

When you want to change, you have to make it through these defenses and although it definitely is doable, it isn’t going to be easy. But getting rid of the failure mindset and giving yourself the entrepreneurial mindset is worth it.
