Hi Phil, going to answer your other post in a minute, but thought I'd shed some more light on this subject. Every morning I start my day listening to someone inspirational, be it: Joe Vitale, Jim Rohn, Frank Kern, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar and a slew of others. That process usually takes anywhere from 10 mins to an hour, because I want to make sure it is ingrained in my head, that YES I have the power to succeed and I am the only person responsible for whether I do or not! And this process costs me nothing, each one of those speakers and marketers have tons of videos on youtube, vimeo etc. but hey if you want to spend some bucks (and I do too) and buy some of their more in depth "reprogramming" methods by all means.
Today I was listening to Joe Vitale's webinar - The Abundance Paradigm but before I get into it further, this morning I was listening to a webinar from Tony Schwartz from the Energy Project and he gave some priceless advice. It's not just your mindset and the time you put into your business, it's how you maximize your energy in order to do so. Time is not replaceable, but money is, so you must make the most of your time and that means maximizing your energy. He suggests that we work in 90 minute intervals and after 90 mins take a break, be it 5 mins, 10, 15, whatever we can spare; meditate, take a quick walk outside if possible and rejuvenate ourselves.
Now if you don't know who Tony is, he's an expert on the energy of people, he consults with major company's and their staff, teaching them how to maximize their energy, so they can be more productive and happier at work. Very interesting guy to say the least.
From Joe, I learned how to be grateful, how to appreciate everything in my life, no matter how small it is. As an example of this, he was talking about his gratitude for a pencil and discussed what benefits a pencil had for him and what he could achieve with just a pencil right now in the moment. He also shared how important it is to have gratitude in the moment, because if we're ungrateful, we attract more things that will make us feel ungrateful.
All of these things reflect your attitude, be it in business or not and if you made just a dollar this week, be grateful for that dollar, because as long as you are grateful for that dollar, you will make two dollars and so forth.
I am going to spam some links here lol

Like I said these folks all have a lot of video's online, just have to search them out. And if you haven't read Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich (Joe Vitale and Pat O'Bryan - have actually just come out with a work book based on T&GR, it's free and I'm delving into that right now) I highly suggest you start there. EVERY single successful marketer I know has read T&GR at least once.
