Last Friday, and email appeared out of the blue, in my inbox. It illustrates the point I was trying to make about Senior Level Communications, better than I did…so I’ll share the story by Kim Roach with you. (Many different client companies hire SLC to set up qualified, high level meetings for their outside sales force.) This is Kim’s story:
“But today I want to share a little story with you. So grab some coffee and get comfy!
You see, the other day my mom and I went to the Whistle Stop Café. A little restaurant that literally takes you back in time.
One of my all-time favorite places to go :)
As we settled into our comfy country booth, I heard the waitress say something that made me smile...
A customer came in looking to buy some cole slaw for a family pot luck and the waitress replied
saying...
"Buying a whole big pot of cole slaw here is going to be pretty pricey. You can run down to Wal-Mart and get you everything you need to whip up a big batch on the cheap."
Now, at first you might think this is completely crazy. That woman lost the sale right?
No way!!
She just won so many repeat visits it would make your head spin.
That couple who came in (asking for a pot of cole slaw) left as raving fans!
What many people don't realize is that business is a marathon, not a sprint.
When serving the customer comes first, you WIN!”

I hope you are practing the principals that were taught in The Secret. If you are, then I know you are seeing positive changes in your life, and good things are happing to you…that can’t be explained any other way, as to “why” or “how”! That continues to be the case with me…and now I know the “why” and “how”…it’s because of the Law of Attraction! I am constantly amazed by all the good things that keep coming into my life. There are so many little things, that it wouldn’t make any sense to tell you about them all…and many things that have to do with my Internet and Affiliate Marketing businesses, that I can’t tell you about…because of conflict of interest. But I am grateful for them when they occur, because they make my life easier, or benefit me in some other way…which is a far cry from the way things were going before I started applying The Secret principals!
I would encourage you to not give up, if things aren’t happening as fast as you would like them to…as they said in the movie, you could be almost at the break through point (like the plant in the movie, just ready to sprout up out of the soil) where things start happening, and if you give up…you lose it all. It hardest in the beginning, because it something new and different, that we are not used to doing…which they also talked in the movie. I’ve read that in order to form a habit, we have to do it every day for 21 days in a row…so stay with it…and things will start to happen!
Go back and watch the movie again, and have your kids watch it, so they will know how to make positive things happen in their lives…and have this power working for them…rather than against them…for their entire lives. What a wonderful life they will have!
And it’s not all about becoming a millionaire either. My two brothers own Healthy Environment Innovations. I took this from their Facebook page so you can see what they do:
This is not just an invention: it is a basic scientific discovery. Far-UV Sterilray™ Technology is 10,000 times more effective in killing pathogens than any other disinfecting or sterilizing method. It is capable of destroying many of the pathogenic bacteria and viruses in less than one second while other methods and chemical cleaners require contact times of 30 seconds to 5 minutes to be effective. The Far-UV Sterilray™ Disinfection Wand will revolutionize the way people disinfect surfaces.
I have worked for HEI a couple of times in the past while I was between jobs (read, “laid off”!) putting together the Sterilrays. I really enjoyed the work…none of the stress and pressure associated with “sales” type jobs…and felt really great knowing that I was building something that would prevent people from getting sick…and potentially save lives.
Anyway, years ago, before they started HEI, I made a bet with my younger brother, that I would own a Mercedes Benz before he did. My views have changed quite a bit since then, so he will most likely win that bet, as I now believe it would feel much, much better to make a donation to a non-profit organization, than the feeling I would get from riding around in a 100,000 dollar automobile…don’t get me wrong, I’ll still have a nice ride…just not as expensive!
I want to leave you with this article that I received in an email…I tell you…things like this keep happening to me, in fact, the above quote by Ralph Waldo Emarson, arrived in my inbox just a few minutes ago! Anyway, this article is about Changing Your Subconscious Mind:
"There are a number of ways you can reprogram your subconscious mind but there are also many things in everyday society that make the process of changing your subconscious mind much more difficult that would ideally be best to avoid or at least attempt to avoid. One of the fastest ways to change your subconscious mind is to get a grip on your emotions or your emotional state. If you are an overly emotional person this is both good and bad. It is most definitely good in cases where you are a very happy and positive person as your upbeat emotional state keeps sending positive energy out into the universe and the cycle of this continues to bring you more positive energy back into your everyday life. If you are usually quite negative or pessimistic the same negative energy you send out continues to return to you and the cycle continues.
Changing your subconscious mind from negative to positive would be best addressed by taking a look at what makes your emotions lean towards the negative. Let us take a look at the classic example of someone who is always emotionally negative due to a lack of money. Your subconscious mind in most cases believes you have no money and money is very difficult for you to come by. It is the belief in having no money that keeps you in that state of having no money. The process of changing your inner mind in this case would mean changing the negative belief you have about money.
So how do we change your subconscious mind to have a new positive belief about money? Well the process of changing your subconscious mind is quite simple but in reality we all know this process certainly does not appear to be simple since so many people are poor but would like to be rich. Everyone might like to be rich but unfortunately not everyone is prepared to do what is necessary to change the subconscious mind.
One of the first things you need to do in relation to changing your subconscious mind is to take a close look at the chatter or self talk that goes on in the back of your mind all day long. I have read that scientists believe the average person has around 50,000 thoughts per day, now that is a lot. Of course in all these thoughts we are going to be thinking about many, many things in the course of a day from what we are going to eat, where we are going, who we will see, what we will say, we will think about our relationships with others, we will also think about money and think about numerous other things as well.
If you constantly think about a lack of money and your self talk enforces that negative subconscious belief you need to look at what caused you to think negatively about money if you ever plan on changing your subconscious mind. Did your parents or other people tell you that you will never have money? Do you believe that you are not worthy of money or only lucky people have a lot of money. No matter what the reasons are it does not really matter, what does matter is that you understand that the one and only reason why you do not have money is because you believe you do not have money. By changing your subconscious mind and your belief about money within your subconscious mind to that of having money and believing money comes to you easily instead of the opposite, you will have money. The same thing goes for changing your subconscious mind about enjoying a great relationship or feeling healthy or anything else. Once you change the subconscious belief you change your life.
Although affirmations and the repitition of affirmations works incredibly well with changing your subconscious mind, most people I have personally spoken to about this tell me honestly that usually they do not commit to their affirmations and therefore they get mixed results. With commitment to any endeavor you pursue within your life you will get a more positive result and the same thing goes for changing your subconscious mind.
Visualization is another super effective way to change your subconscious mind and the more you get into the habit of using the visualization technique the clearer you will be able to see the images and the faster you will get results. Creative visualization and positive affirmations work very well together but you need to keep at it, if you quit after a week or so I would not even bother to start in the first place since you will only frustrate your self. Why not try just 3 minutes of creative visualization with a positive affirmation 3 times a day just to get started and commit to this for at least one month. This really helped me in changing my subconscious mind and now I enjoy doing it. I still get a buzz when I begin to notice changes in my life as the visualizations in my subconscious mind start to appear in my reality.
Another way that really helps with changing your subconscious mind is to turn off the TV . Yes I am serious, turn off the TV and especially the news programs. I cannot stress this enough. Every time you watch a news program or look at the newspaper or even listen to the news programs on the radio you are submersing your subconscious mind in a pool of negativity, hatred, despair, war, violence, crime, pain and poverty. You may well be addicted to all the negativity I just mentioned but not even be aware of it. The news media makes a lot of money out of all the negativity in the world and most people feed on this garbage everyday for their entire lives. No wonder so many people live in poverty and there is so much hatred, crime and war in this world. We see it, we believe it and the more we believe it the more it continues.
While you continue to watch the TV and absorb all the negative statistics you end up becoming one yourself. You may not be aware of it but your subconscious mind is feeding on everything it sees and hears from the moment you are born to the moment you die and perhaps after you are dead but I really do not know about that. If you feed it thoughts of worldwide unhappiness and pain you will become a statistic of that world of pain. The best thing you can do in regards changing your subconscious mind is to feed it positive energy by thinking positive thoughts about literally anything that is positive. Feed it feelings of love not feelings of hate towards your neighbor or someone from your past that hurt your feelings. Forget about the past, leave it in the past and move on to a brighter future with a fresh bunch of new thoughts and feelings. You can do this if you believe you can and turning off the TV is a step in the right direction.
Changing your subconscious mind has only been a problem for you and the rest of the planet because you have been misguided somewhere along the way. Abundance and a world full of happiness is yours for the taking when you believe it is right there in front of you. In fact once you change your subconscious mind you will begin to see things simply arrive in your life like magic. So stop being a statistic and start to become the magician you really are."--John Hill (Universe of Success).
