Stuck To The Bedpost
The story was released last week about an elementary-age child who detested the thought of going back to school after Christmas vacation. He hated the idea so much that he glued his hand to his bedpost with his dad's industrial strength glue. Thinking ahead, the child made sure that a television was close by as he had planned to spend the rest of his life glued to the bedpost, foregoing the agony of attending school.
His mother discovered the quandary her son had initiated and tried nail remover for about an hour to no avail. In desperation, she finally called the fire department. They were finally able to free his hand after no small effort, and the child found himself back at school, with a very sore and bandaged hand.
Adults do the same thing every day. They 'tie their hand' to a dead-end job to make ends meet and pay the bills, but the reality is - they're stuck to the bedpost. Soon, creativity is stifled, life becomes a seeming endless routine, and change and other opportunities seem impossibly remote. Complacency becomes the default way of life, and the adult sits down to 'endure'
their days with no excitement or hope for change. Ironically, they often pass the time and numb the pain with a television set, year after year after year.
That would be the exact opposite of life at Advantage Conferences, where new thinking and new ideas are an exciting way of life. The worn-out paradigms you've grown accustomed to can be replaced with a truly stimulating, new reality empowered by the thinking and training of highly accomplished entrepreneurs.
Often, new ideas are spawned on our Mindset Tele-Mentoring calls or at the Mindset Mentoring SM Conference "indirectly". In other words, the Attendee is subconsciously toying with a new business idea, or mulling over how to tweak their current business when a single statement stimulates an ingenious new thought that turns out to be the exact missing ingredient and key to new growth.
You see, the training is rich in so many ways that it becomes catalytic to all kinds of new ideas for current and future business. The ongoing Mindset Mentoring SM challenges stale, stagnant thinking and germinates revolutionary new thoughts and possibilities. Sometimes it's not even the person hosting the call or being interviewed that provides the "Aha experience", but rather a comment or question from another Attendee who is not at all in tune with the newly inspired Attendee's financial or business situation. I love it when our "think tank"
environment comes up with totally unanticipated gems!
