Join Me On John Assaraf’s Inner Game Program Journey

Over the last year or so, I’ve written a variety of articles driving readers to stop moaning and start marketing.  And while I’ve provided a variety of how-to tips of actually HOW TO stop moaning and get yourself into marketing action, I don’t think I’ve addressed the real driver behind the moaning — our brain.

See this picture?  These are the neurons in your brain.  If you want to know what’s running your business — there it is.  There are between 10 billion and 100 billion neurons in our brain.  I think that’s more than all the stars in the universe!  And here’s the really interesting part — your brain (EVERYONE’S BRAIN) is really designed to be an efficient pattern recognizing machine.  It takes experiences you’ve had in the past, assigns them meaning and sets a program in motion that helps us survive and get through the day.

This pattern recognition programming is generally a good thing.  After all, if it didn’t do that, it would take us an eternity to get out of bed and get moving in the morning.  Overall, it’s very, very good.  But there is a bad side to all this pattern recognition; it can also keep us from trying and creating new behaviors.

Here is an example.  Set a lofty goal for yourself — right now.  Go ahead.  Pretend that you had a magic wand and wave it across your business and your life.  Here’s mine.  ”I’m going to grow my business by $1 million!” or Maybe “I’m going to sail around the world!” or “I’m going to run a marathon!”  Anything – go ahead – just pick something you currently wish were true for you.

What’s the first thought that runs through your head?  Probably something like “You can’t do that!  You don’t have the money, the resources, the time, the fitness level, etc. etc.”  In fact, if you dwelled on it for any length of time, chances are you’d come up with hundreds of really good reasons why you couldn’t or shouldn’t do or achieve this.

That’s it.  There is your brain’s survival mechanism at work.  It doesn’t really like change.  And it will do whatever it takes to keep you “safe.”

Well, I’m going to re-wire my brain.  I’m going to work on turning my brain into a creation machine.  I’m going to teach it new patterns and new thoughts so that it drives my business where I want it to go — and not some pattern my brain has programmed in it.  And I thought you might want to do the same for yourself.

I’m going to do this through a new program created by John Assaraf and his team at One Coach called “How to Master the Inner Game.”

John Assaraf was the guy in the movie “The Secret” that created the vision board and years later actually found himself living in the house he pasted on the board.  He’s also the author of the best selling business book “The Answer” where he’s taken the principles behind the “Law of Attraction” and applied them for business owners.

Now, he’s taken this a step further and created a program that allows those of us with (currently)  a  little less money in the bank to access his expertise and his process via a webinar coaching program that promises to re-wire your brain in a way that will get your business going and growing.

I’ve just signed up for it myself.  It starts on April 6, 2010.  It consists of 4 weekly sessions:
