The Gateway to Your Business Success

Your ability to focus, plan, feel or do anything is intimately tied to the mix of five different types of brainwaves your brain is producing at any given moment in time. Your brain produces multiple brainwaves simultaneously, but you are at your best when your brainwaves are perfectly aligned with what you are doing. But here’s the problem: Our over-thinking, over-stressed culture forces our brains to stay in the beta wave pattern more than our brains were meant to.

Let’s take a closer look at the five different types of brainwaves so you can more fully understand why it’s a problem when Beta Waves dominate.

1. Beta Waves – This is the one you are in right now. It’s associated with being alert, working and stress. It’s not conducive to learning.
   
2. Alpha Waves – Slower than Beta and indicates a deep relaxation. Super learning can take place here. It’s the bridge between your conscious and unconscious mind and it’s associated with being intuitive. This state can be induced through meditation, relaxation and a light trance.
3. Theta Waves – Slower still, and normally only experienced when you are drifting off to sleep, waking up or when you dream. Theta waves are associated with increased creativity, accelerated healing and conducive to integrating your emotional experiences and changing behavior. This is the level of the subconscious that holds some of the deepest programming of our behavior.
4. Delta Waves – The slowest, normally experienced during deep, dreamless sleep and very deep meditation. These waves are associated with accelerated healing, growth hormone production, and accessing your subconscious in a way not available any other way.
5. Gamma Waves – The fastest brain waves, associated with higher mental acuity (not normal thinking or problem solving) and can include flashes of brilliance, sudden bursts of insights, as well as moments of extreme focus and concentration.

Understand Your Brain to Use Visualization

Let’s take a look at what happens in our brain when we visualize the future. There are two parts of our brain—the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious part of the brain is the part we are aware of; the conscious brain focuses on one thing at a time, whatever we think is important at the moment.

The subconscious brain doesn’t think this way. The subconscious brain sees a complete picture of everything happening all at once. The subconscious mind is aware of the input from all of your senses at every moment.

 

Your conscious brain…

• The amount of information your conscious brain processes is about one-half of the one-millionth of one percent of the amount your subconscious brain processes.
• For all its brilliance, the conscious brain has a major weakness—follow through.
• The conscious brain is great at imagining things and thinking them through, but it’s next to useless when it comes to actually getting things done.
• Your conscious brain is amazing at coming up with ideas, but useless when it comes to carrying them out because it is easily distracted.The average person changes focus every six to 10 seconds.
• Goal-setting is something your conscious brain can do.

Your subconscious brain…

• The subconscious brain can remember billions of things in perfect sequence, not only for minutes at a time, but for your lifetime. How often does it get distracted? Never.
• Goal-attaining is something only your subconscious can do.

So, let me ask you, which part of your brain would want to trust and deliver on your dreams? The power is in your subconscious brain.

1. Write any script you want and play that film out in your imagination. Your subconscious will watch it play out and think it’s real. The subconscious mind is a captive audience for the movies we play in our head.
2. Realize a mere thought causes measurable biological changes—a scary movie can cause our hearts to race while a different image can evoke biological cues telling your body to relax.
3. Combine the stories you are crafting about yourself with powerful emotions. A good story evokes powerful mental images and those images can create an emotional response that is stronger than what is really happening in our lives.
4. Visualize your ideal life to reshape your perception of reality, and once that happens, reality conforms to that perception.

How effectively you are able to move an idea from your conscious (imagination) to your subconscious (belief/action) will determine your success. Visualization is the key to making this happen, because your subconscious mind doesn’t know that what you are visualizing is only in your imagination. Your life script visualized and acted upon can change the course of your life.

Goal Setting - Power Message from John Assaraf!

John Assaraf – How To Achieve Any Goal

So, many years ago when I was 19 years old I had a meeting with a man that I’ve never met before that was introduced to me by my brother… and this man was very successful financially, with his family, as a philanthropist, as a businessman…

And he asked me one question that defined the trajectory of my life. The question he asked me was: was I interested in achieving my life’s goals and dreams or was I committed to achieving them.

And he said if I was interested I would do what’s convenient, but if I was committed I would do whatever it takes.

And Mr. Alan Brown said to me: John if you’re interested, you’ll do whats convenient. You’ll believe your stories and excuses and you’ll continue to be a victim of your current reality and circumstances. You’ll come up with all the reasons why you can’t achieve those goals and that’s what you will be focusing on for the rest of your life.

He said the big difference is if you’re committed you’ll start today to let go of your stories, your excuses, your reasons why you’re achieving your certain results right now and why you can’t achieve any of those goals and dreams you wrote down this piece of paper. He said if you’re committed you’ll upgrade your knowledge. If you’re committed you’ll upgrade your skills. if you’re committed you’ll come in every single day and figure out how you can achieve those goals and why you must versus why you can’t and why you won’t.

And after he explained the difference between interest and commitment to me I put my hand and I shook his hand and said: Mr. Brown, I’m committed! Now, I was scared shitless to say that I’m committed because I had to let go of all my reasons why I couldn’t achieve my goals and dreams.

And the very act of writing my goals and then saying to him… and then to myself… Make a commitment to myself to be committed, I started to achieve the financial and life goals and dreams that I wrote down on that piece of paper. And not only did I achieve every one of those, I way, way, way, exceeded every single goal.

That’s when my whole life changed. One commitment. One moment in my life. I said that I was committed to my financial and health and relationship and career and business and charitable goals and the travel goals and the health goals I had… I was committed to all of my goals. He said “great”. Well the first action steps towards commitment is to develop a plan for how you actually achieve those goals.

So here’s my question for you: Are you interested in achieving your financial, health, relationship, career, business goals and your travel goals or are you committed?

Now, if you’re committed here’s what I would like you to do: Take a sheet of paper and write down one goal for every area of your life health, love, relationships, career, business, charitable write down 1 goal and when you want to achieve by and then, what I want you to do is write down 3 action steps that you can take towards achieving those goals.

Write down what do you need to LEARN, what do you need to BELIEVE and what do you need to DO.

Take those things, put those right on your calendar with a time by which you are going to complete those things and if you can do that for each one of your goals, if you can focus on the goal you want to achieve, three action items towards achieving those goals and a specific timeline by when you’re going to achieve it by, you are going to be the type of person that achieves your goals and dreams versus the person who hopes and prays and wishes  that those goals and dreams become a reality.

The person who achieves goals and dreams takes consistent, daily, weekly, monthly actions towards those goals and dreams. And they don’t allow their stories or their excuses or their reasons or circumstances to hold them back. They are committed to achieving their goal no matter what.

That’s the attitude. That’s the mindset that you have to have. And you have to have absolute resolve that you will do whatever it takes.

So… are you interested? Or are you committed?
