Soar to Success October 2018

PAT ALTVATER How Do You Respond to Recurring Patterns? Awakened entrepreneurs notice their reaction to the recurring patterns in their life and business. Is there something going on in your business and you think, “Why does this keep happening to me?” It could be product returns or prospects that don’t take the next step with you. The conscious entrepreneur notices the pattern, seeks to understand it and then takes responsibility for making changes to correct the issue. In contrast, the unaware entrepreneur makes excuses – they suffer from what Dr. David Schwartz calls “excusitis.” They blame things outside of themselves for the results they are getting. Their subconscious mental process may go something like this: “I’m not doing as well as I think I could. Why? It must be: my location, my prospects don’t have enough money, my age, my bad luck.” Each time the victim makes the excuse to someone, it becomes more and more embedded in their subconscious until they actually believe it. Don’t let that happen to you. Notice when you are making excuses and take any actions you can to change your situation. Sustainable success comes to those who take responsibility for the detrimental recurring patterns in their business and take actions to positively affect their results.
