One of the biggest challenges people have is changing their behavior. Being in CONTROL of your behavior will serve as an EXTREMELY valuable tool for you as an entrepreneur(or just life in general). Here i will show you how to do it.
Here it goes:
The human being is like a mathematical equation. Y=mx+b, E=mc^2 , or Assets=liabilities+equity.
The equation for human behavior is this: BEHAVIOR=FEELINGS+THOUGHTS+BELIEFS+BIOLOGICAL INFLUENCES
Here is an example of how this works:
lets say i am a bad communicator, i am shy and unconfident which is really getting in the way of my networking for entrepreneur success(or any other success). my behavior might include me NOT using various facial expressions and hand gestures when speaking, speaking in a low unconfident voice, awkward eye contact etc. now lets see what CAUSES this. my feelings might included feeling uncomfortable, nervous or unworthy. my thoughts might included thoughts of rejection or worthlessness. Now the belief part is the MOST important part. you literally have THOUSANDS of beliefs engraved in your mind, some i can guarantee you are not aware of because they are so sub-conciously engraved. Some beliefs may included: "I don't talk to people i don't know too well because they wont like me anyways" or "strangers should never be bothered because they will be annoyed." or "i always look stupid when i talk". i wont get into the biological influences because i am not a neuroscientist
but don't worry its not a very important part to change your behavior.
NOW what does this mean??? Because the human being is like a mathematical equation, we can switch the variables and completely change the end result(behavior)!!
just like when you change a numerical variable in a mathematical equation you get a different result!!:smxF: Change your thoughts, beliefs or feelings and change your behavior!!!! which ultimately will change your life!!
now lets try this out. lets say i want be a very good communicator/networker or public speaker/ motivational speaker etc. i would simply change my beliefs, thoughts and feelings(this one is very tricky).
one of the biggest assets you have as a human being is the power to believe whatever you want! true or false doesn't matter.
people used to think the sun went around the world for example. now to be a good communicator i would have to believe things like: "95% of strangers are always open to a random conversation" or " 95% of people will like me once they get to know me. again you have thousands of beliefs and its your job to find them and change them to get your intended result! now change your thoughts, think productive confident thoughts, your mind is like real estate it only has a certain amount of square footage and its up to you to make sure you put the most important and productive things in it. i mean you wouldn't put a big pile of crap right in the middle of your living room would you?
changing your behavior takes a lot of self awareness and introspection and work but it can be done! you just have to think(something 99% of people don't do because we are lazy)! you can do it!! you cant change anything in your life unless you change these variable i showed you. again this works for many things.
i really hope this has helped some of you!:urock2:
