Have you ever wondered what is the main difference between Bill Gates and you, besides the USD 50 billion?

It is the thoughts that he thinks everyday and the thoughts that you think. It is true. That is it. Your thoughts are the only difference between you and Bill Gates.

It means that you are where you are today because you chose to be there for better or worse. It was your decision and no one else. Not even your circumstances. The thoughts you had led to the decisions you made up to today determined your life right now.

I have heard this so many times. I challenged and argued with it for some time. Guess what? Unless you can finally "get it", you can achieve the success you are looking for by leaps and bounds.

Why? Because you are what you think. Thoughts are real. They are so real and so powerful. In fact, you use your brain to determine how wealthy you can be. How we live, and what we do, can actually have a profound impact on the physical structure of our brains. If we are what we eat, as the old saying goes, we may also be what we think. Or rather how we think and as well as how much we think.

Like it or not, the Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about most. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest what you think of most of the time.

The neat part about this truth is that you are 100% in control of your thoughts. In fact, your thoughts are the only thing in this world you have 100% control over. We may have difficulties in controlling our thoughts at challenging times. That is because we are not "prefect" in our skills in controlling our thoughts.

The biggest factor that will determine if you are successful in your business is whether or not you create a mindset that encourages and empowers you to take the daily actions and disciplines required for success. Only you can decide whether or not you want to train your mind to think like a successful entrepreneur, and hence, become a successful entrepreneur. Your self-talk determines everything. You can talk yourself into success just as easily as you can talk yourself out of it. Whatever you think about and dwell on you will get!

The successful person simply does the things the unsuccessful person makes a conscious decision not to do. Sound familiar? If you are not careful, your mind comes up with logical reasons or excuses to justify them. So ask yourself honestly. Are those truly "real" reasons, or are they really just excuses?

Life gets in the way "or some such "motto", but the fact is YOU get in your own way.
We tend to excuse ourselves for not following through on what we know we should be doing to succeed. And one excuse leads to another and the "rut" in our life continues.

The resistance thinking also hold true. Most likely, you've heard this old phrase...
"That what you resist will persist"

Our beliefs about the environment and the society that surround us, make us think in a certain way, and the way we think draws the people, the situations and the things we experience to our lives.

Consciously, we know the difference between a negative thought and a positive one. However, our subconscious mind cannot discriminate between "yes" and "no." Our subconscious mind just knows one word and that is "yes."

When we think "I don't want to attract more debt" we are creating "resistance" to debt, which in turn makes debt persist. This creates a domino effect. Our thoughts create resistance. Resistance creates stress. Stress consumes energy. And the problem persists.

The domino effect becomes a vicious circle. This is why we feel so weak and with low energy when we feel buried in problems. We are expending energy in a negative way.

Resistance is a struggle. Is like pushing a cart uphill with no help. We struggle when things don't go our way. So every time we resist something, we are spending our energy in the wrong way. It is much better and much easier indeed to stop resisting what we don't want and focus on attracting what we do want.

For example, instead of struggling to make more money by getting a second job, try to focus on attracting prosperity by having positive thoughts while working.

This also applies to every other situation in your life, like your relationships with others. When you blame another person for what has happened to you or are angry at somebody, you are creating more of "what you resist persists", thus preventing new experiences and positive people from arriving into your life.

Remember; always focus on embracing the positive rather than resisting the negative. Releasing negative thoughts of resistance will free your energy to use it in a more positive way. You will feel more energetic, more vibrant and more alive when you focus on what you do want versus what you don't want.

There is a saying; he who has consistent thoughts about having abundance will be given more consistent thoughts about having abundance. He does not have consistent thoughts about abundance will even have the thoughts of abundance taken away from him.

Why? Consistent thoughts produce a certain pattern of thinking. Patterns of thinking produce beliefs, attitudes and values. Beliefs, attitudes and values produce actions. Actions produce results.
So if you do not have what you want, it is likely your current state of thought is incompatible with your goals.

So how do you become the person you need to be in order to create wealth and abundance in your life? First and foremost, you must train your mind to think differently if you want different results. Not 100% change at once but begin with 1% change and that small change can make a different to your life.

Here are some other suggestions:

1. Introduce others into your world on a daily basis who already have what you want. It is said that you are the sum total of the five people you spend most of your time with.

2. What shows do you watch when you get home? Are they up uplifting and educational?

3. What do you listen to? Self-improvement and business coaching?

4. Do you read books? If so, are they design to educate and empower you?

5. Surround yourself with the presence of successful entrepreneur and network marketer each day in the form of books, audio training and etc.

When you finally accept you already have greatness in you, the truth will empower you to set your mind free from any excuses and justifications that are holding you back from your ultimate potential. Most millionaires are not born. They are self-made most of the time.
