But then one day, all of that changed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was done with positive thinking.<\/strong> And it was when I flipped that thought around, that things <em>really<\/em> started changing and looking up and the fun started.<\/p>\n<p>What do I mean? Well, let me start with this example:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the lowest) imagine you are a person with a <strong>level 2 strength of character<\/strong> and attitude looking at a <strong>level 5 problem<\/strong>. Would this problem appear to be big or little?

Would the same level 5 problem be a big problem, or a little problem?

Now why do you think this is?<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s simple \u2014 it lies in what I like to call \u201cpower thinking\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the difference between the two?

We don\u2019t do this because our new thoughts are \u201ctrue\u201d in an absolute sense \u2014 but because they are useful to us, and feel a heck of a lot better than non-supportive ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So it all comes down to this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>If your subconscious \u201cfinancial blueprint\u201d is not \u201cset\u201d for success, nothing you learn, nothing you know, and nothing you do will make much of a difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After 14 years of struggle I finally changed my thinking \u2014 I went from positive thinking to power thinking \u2014 and the first thing I did was commit to my success, stay focused, dedicate 100% of myself, and played the money game to win! I swore I would focus and not even consider leaving this business until I was a millionaire or more. I became a level 10 person.<\/p>\n<p>This was radically different from my previous efforts, where, because I always thought short-term, I lacked focus, I would constantly get side-tracked by either good opportunities, or when things got tough. I convinced myself <em>&#8220;everything will be okay&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0(positive thinking) if I kept my eyes and ears peeled for any opportunity that came my way.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not enough to be in the right place at the right time.
