wealthymatters “I have been running long distance for many years. I do at least 100 km a week. On most mornings, I run alone before dawn, when the rest of Bombay is still sleeping. I don’t need an alarm to get up. No wake-up call, either. My body clock goes off at 3.30 or 4 a.m. and I get up and get out. I am in a kind of meditative trance when I run. And I run with my thoughts. Some of my brightest business ideas come to me when I’m running by myself.

I have heard about the loneliness of the long-distance runner, but I don’t know about it. When I am running, I am focused on my speed, my timing, and the distance I intend to cover. I don’t really care at that moment what is happening elsewhere. Sometimes I have people running with me for company. They are either faster or slower than I am. Or I run with friends at a pace that makes it easy for conversation. Sometimes I listen to music. It really depends on my mood at the time. Read more of this post

wealthymatters When I want to push myself ahead here are some tricks I use.See how they work for you.Do you have some other good ones?

1.When I’m scared of failure I remind myself that even if I fail this time,it wouldn’t be the first time I have failed and that I have survived failures before to come out ahead.I remind myself that the the skills I picked up in failed ventures have helped form the basis of future successes.This has the knack of calming me a bit.

2.When I find myself fixating on worst-case scenarios,I remind myself that I am running the risk of substituting imagination for thinking, speculation for risk analysis and fear for reason.Worst-case scenarios are vivid, but are almost always much less probable. Fixating on worst-case scenarios simply results in plain old bad decision making. Read more of this post

Wipe The Slate Clean

Nobody ever got to being wealthy by thinking that they couldn’t. Absolute self-confidence is a vital to work oneself up to real wealth.Everyone has nagging doubts, it is part of being human.True achievers just know how to deal with them.

Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s, used a great technique to get a grip on negativity and maintain self belief. Whenever he had negative thoughts, he would imagine himself writing them out in detail on a blackboard. Then he would visualize an imaginary hand wiping the board clean.

By doing so he was reprogramming his sub-conscious mind to concentrate on the positive things and not focus on the negatives.

Richard Branson, the boss of Virgin Airlines look a bunch of journalists to LA for his inaugural flight to that city.After a pleasant few days in a top hotel, the journos were all in the lobby waiting for a limo to take them back to the airport.

One young woman went up to Branson and asked him the following question:
