Get Rid of Can't and Newbie to Succeed!

By Randy - The Hermit - Baustert

Being in the right frame of mind is more important then all the information you have acquired. There is a leader in industry by the name of Henry Ford who had very little formal education, but what he did have was a mindset that created a desire in him that practically forced him to achieve his goals. One of his most quoted sayings is, "Whether you think you can or think you can't you are right."

His drive and determination took him from a non-educated worker to a leader in industry. This is the same type of mindset you need to have to succeed. This is a mindset that doesn't say, can't!

The word can't is a word that is sure to bring you failure if you use it all the time. I like to define can't as conveniently accepting negative thoughts.

C= Conveniently.

A= Accepting.

N= Negative.

T= Thoughts

Don't accept negative thought from yourself or anybody else. You are the only one that can give up on your goals and the only one that can accept these thoughts. You will reach your goals but only if you believe you can.

If you don't know how to do something that doesn't mean you can't do it.

If it hasn't been done before, that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Just like you set your goals you need to create a mindset that gives you a burning desire to achieve your goals. All you goals can be achieved if you believe.

Besides can't there is another term you should avoid and that is newbie. "I am a newbie", is probably the most commonly used excuse that I hear.

You say that being a newbie is the truth and not an excuse. Well, it might be the truth but it is almost always used as an excuse when someone says they are a newbie. Such as:

Question: What is your website?

Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.

Question: What is your specialty?

Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.

Question: Have you started building your list yet?

Answer: No, I am a newbie.

As you can see all the answers were used as an excuse for not having something done. I know I used this as an excuse, when I started out, and you probably have too.

The difference between a newbie and a non-newbie is action. Take some action to achieve your goals and you will find that you aren't a newbie any more. - 16890
