We all know the phrase “garbage in, garbage out” in regard to computers but sometimes we think less about what kind of nourishment we are giving our minds.  The roots create the fruits.  The T.V. news, the newspaper, emails, and news on the Internet constantly bombards us with negativity. 

Building a home based business requires a significant amount of self motivation so the need to control what one puts into their mind is critical. Right now there is a large amount of negativity about keeping jobs, earning money, etc, if you do not become diligent in taking precautions you could be drawn in with the doomsayers and spend energy that could go into your home based business network, worrying about the economy.

Just becoming aware of what your are listening to, thinking about, reading and even talking about with others is a start.  Take some time each day to be quiet -build that into your  income from home network-and see where most of your thoughts have been that day.

Ask questions like: Are my thoughts empowering me to know and feel that I can achieve and reach my goals?  Is there a nagging worry that is pulling me down and keeping me from focusing on what I want to create?  Did I focus more today on what is or what is not happening in my business? 

Once you have some assessment of how well you’re doing in the setting your mindset up for success, create a strategy to improve what you want to make better. I have found in my work from home business that simple affirmations, which are positive statements stated in the first person in present tense about what I want to achieve are very powerful in switching my mind to where I want it to be.

If you use affirmations make sure you say them out loud and with feeling. Posting these on your bathroom mirror, keeping one in your coat pocket, and other places where you encounter it often will help train your brain to think win instead of lose. 

One other suggestion that is powerful is substitute watching the news and reading the newspaper with listening to a good CD or reading a good book on self empowerment. Lastly, be patient with yourself as you make this switch. If you find for example, givin up the news cold turkey creates too much stress, baby step it-just give up the 11:00 p.m. news-who needs to go to bed at night with one of the last things you hear and see being about bad news. 

People are attracted to your home based business because of you.  What comes out from you is a result of what you put into you, so be careful each day to feed your mind the good not the bad news and doom and gloom.

There is plenty of historical precedent for us believing that even in the midst of a national economic hard time that plenty of millionaires will be made. Why not be one of them.  

Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want for your home network-the income from your home based business will follow! 

How recession proof is your thinking today?  Take some action now to help ensure your home based business network is not just surviving the economy but thriving.

I have found iContact to be the best email manager out there for those working from home. I compared several when I decided it was time to have an email manager. It is user friendly and a very reasonable investment as far as money and time. This tool is easy to use, creates professional emails and takes only minutes to generate an email to hundreds or thousands with tracking capacity. This allows all of us who work from home to put more time into building our home based business. I got to the point in my home business that I was using lots of time sending emails to hundreds of people in my business but could only send about 50 emails at a time and had to make sure I wanted three minutes between each group I sent email out to,  so this has been a huge stress reducer and time saver.  You can click the links below and get the free trial.  See all the advantages below: surveys, email, newsletters, autoresponders and more.  Free up your time to do what builds recession proof income with your recession proof business!
