20. Relax Internally. Be At Peace.
There are a variety of proven business strategies that I teach when working with those working to create a successful online business. After some time and effort, those can be easily learned followed and duplicated. I find however, what is far more important to the long-term success and fulfillment of those I work with, is the grafting of these 20 key ideals into their life. This is because people can learn to become monetarily wealthy, but yet enslaved to the very thing they have created which then seems to ironically expose their character flaws. These are not truly successful people for they are miserable and starving internally; blinded by bloated egos and pride run rampant, because they refuse to prioritize self-improvement. They have settled for the “fools gold” and negated the true substance.
I implore you not to let this happen to you. Whatever your business or entrepreneurial passion, I cannot stress to you enough how important these 20 steps are to truly living a successful & fulfilling life. Make a commitment to yourself right now to the journey of making them a part of who you are and my friend, watch how your entire life changes."

We Are What We Feed Our Minds
"We now know that new ideas require new connections (in the brain new ideas create new synapases)and therefore new ideas are at a disadvantage to old ideas.* This does not mean we cannot learn new things, but it does mean we must remove or modify existing connections in order to register new thoughts. Old connectionsthat are no longer needed are actually dissolved (physically by special compounds in brain.)...we can now understand that for the mind to accept a new truth, we not only have to create new neural connections, we have to abandon the existing ones and that takes time and energy, which and economizing brain is reluctant to provide."
"Also, as data or information is sensed, it is processed into categories for economy of thought . . .categorization in the mind is physical. Nouns are stored in one physical location of the brain and verbs are stored in another location."
...how we order knowledge...is what we call "strategies". Depending on reinforcement from our environment we will adopt or abandon a given strategy. If we obtain our goals with a given strategy, we will retain it as part of our belief system. Each belief becomes part of the mind's operating system."
The mind is continually sensing, ordering and developing strategies. It is always open to new possibilities but to varying degrees depending on how hard-wired the existing idea is. As adults we week validation of existing beliefs (knowledge and strategies) and do not like change."
"Just like practice makes perfect in sports, repetition of an idea or thought can create a perfect reality that only exists in the mind of the one who created it. It can become real regardless of contradictory evidence."
"WE ARE WHAT WE FEED OUR MINDS"
