Succeed In Business By Knowing You Can Have It By Darshan Shanti If you're serious about being a success in business, there is a phrase you'll need to eliminate. That phrase is, "I don't know." When "I don't know" is followed up by any other phrase, it's an immediate obstacle that must be removed immediately. And it's quite easy to do. The point is that "I don't know" is an escape. "I don't know" allows people to be irresponsible. "I don't know" allows people to not have to think hard. It allows them to avoid dealing with their fears. It allows them to stay small, to settle, to avoid risk. It allows them to stay comfortable. It gives them what they think is a valid excuse to not change. The "I don't know" lie is pervasive. It's rampant. It's like an infection that takes over the rational thought processes of otherwise intelligent, well-meaning people. And it causes an instant shutdown of the higher reasoning functions of the brain. The truth is that people do know what they want. They are just afraid to admit it. The natural question becomes, "Why?" So, take a look at your business and see if the "I don't know" bug has bitten you. Here are some clues that may help you. Have you ever said: - I don't know what I really want to do - I don't know what I really want - I don't know how to market my services on the internet - I don't know how to make money online - I don't know why I keep myself stuck - I don't know how to change - I don't know why I'm so lazy and unmotivated - I don't know why I can't get started       Adland Digest Sponsor Message Real home based business low start up high potential - Not free Looking for a part time, or full time internet home based business?

You don't have to let it take over. You can stop it before it spreads and sucks the life force out of you. Just for an experiment, for one full day, ask yourself a question to which you have been saying, "I Don't Know" to and don't say it. Really go to work on answering the question. Your brain wants to find an answer. It can't stand to be incomplete. So, if you give it I don't know, then it's complete and it doesn't have to search for the real reason. The bottom line is this. If you say, "I don't know" over and over again, the only thing it will do is program you to "not know." Then your job becomes much, much harder and the likelihood of you being successful will diminish as well.. So, remove that phrase from your language right now and start becoming a success in business today. About the Author: Darshan G.
