Wisdom from Alice In Wonderland

A great passage from Lewis Carroll's "Alice In Wonderland:

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
''That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where," said Alice.
Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

Clever but true. The modern day "Alice" is often someone who wants to start their own business but has no idea what their goal is.

Shopping for a business -- especially a home business -- without knowing your goal is that it's a bit like choosing a vehicle before knowing where you want to go.

You run the risk of choosing Hawaii as your destination only to find out too late that you've got a skateboard for the trip.

The correct order is: know your goal first. And then find the business that will get you where you want to go in the timeframe you select. You can get to the Cayman Islands by luxury yacht in a few hours. A cruise ship will take a day. A bicycle won't go at all.

Know your goal before you choose your business.

You always get what you settle for...

You always get what you settle for. Did you know that?

It's true. Maxwell Maltz wrote a book called "Psychocybernetics" in which he referred to the mind as a "goal-seeking mechanism". It's like a heat-seeking missile. It will "home in" on whatever goal you give it. And provided you're using the right principles, it will ALWAYS deliver to you what you want.

In fact, you're already doing it.

Think about it.

Everything that you've ever TRULY wanted and decided that you would NOT do without...you got.

You want a new iPod and you get it.
You want a new job and you get it.
You want a new refrigerator and you get it.

And what most people don't understand that it's a system. And it will work with ANYTHING, large or small.

It's not the "wanting" that does it (although that's part of it). It's the fact that you are putting yourself in a mindset that says, "I will NO LONGER SETTLE for not having this in my life."

And when you do that...magic happens.

And it's the same thing with wealth. You get what you settle for.

Do you want to know what you're settling for? Simple: look around and see what results you're geting. That's what you're settling for.

And, as soon as you commit to settling for something different...your "goal-seeking mechanism" will go into action to make that your NEW reality.

If you settle for luxury, you get luxury.
If you settle for prosperity, you get prosperity.
If you settle for abundance, you get abundance.

So....what are you settling for today?
