Starting a small business can be a great way to increase your revenue streams. I highly recommend that everyone attempts business ownership at least once in their lifetime.
Below are the most effective ways to get started and grow your business:
Vision boards, but for a business. What do you want your business to be? What kind of clients will you attract? What kind of an office will you have? Unlike an actual business plan, you can use your imagination with this one. Get creative.
Keep an eye on any negative emotions. Do your best to control your emotions while working with your business. If you notice yourself getting upset/depressed/anxious, take a break until you are back to a more positive (or at least neural) mindset.
Many successful business men and women swear by mantras. Personally, I prefer Sanskrit mantras as they have been around for thousands of years (but you can also create your own). The two most potent mantras for this purpose are 1) “Om Gam Ganapataye Namah” for obstacle removal, and 2). “Om Shree Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha” to increase profits/abundance.
Try to learn something new about your field/industry every week. It can be reading a professional article, watching a seminar or taking a class. I have noticed that this has the power to turn a struggling business around and help an already successful business expand. In fact, I have not yet met a business person who did this and wasn’t successful.
Qualify leisure time is a must. When not working, make sure that you are enjoying your time off and invest in relaxation. Spending your day off watching Netflix(unless you truly enjoy doing so) is probably not going to cut it. If you can, I recommend indulging in a spa visit or a nice restaurant. Anything that will bring you the maximum enjoyment and peace. It’s not an accident that the wealthy love to pamper themselves.
Some of the most successful celebrities and business people are known to practice mantras. P. Diddy, Giselle, Madonna, Steve Jobs and many others have mentioned mantras at one point or another.
Practicing mantras is actually pretty simple. Just find a quiet place and repeat the mantras (out loud or to yourself) while meditating for a few minutes. Some folks chose to use a 108 bead mala (basically a rosary) to keep track of the number of mantras read. Even though not everyone agrees about how the mantras work, they are known to be very effective and have been around for hundreds and even thousands of year. Listed below are top 5 of the most powerful wealth/money mantras:
Example of a mala being worn on the wrist
1. Kuber wealth mantra – “Om Shreem Hreem Kleem Shreem Kleem Vitteshvaraya Namah.” This mantra increases business income and works to prevent business losses.
2. Ganesha mantra to remove obstacles – “Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha.” I recommend using this mantra when you are facing any obstacles (such as having issues getting financing, aggressive competitors, etc.).
3. Laxmi good luck mantra – “Om Shreem Hreem Kleem.” Luck is very important when it comes to business/finances. This mantra increases your overall luck and gives you a bit of an edge over others.
4. Laxmi wealth and abundance mantra – “Om Shreem Maha Lakshmiyei Namah.” This mantra specifically focuses on increasing your material wealth.
5. Make sure to write this one down. Laxmi prosperity mantra – “Om Hreem Shreem Kleem Maha Lakshmi Namaha.” This one is a great all-around prosperity and abundance mantra. Works great to increase overall income and manifest wealth from all sources. Many people absolutely rave about this mantra’s effectiveness.
I just wanted to share some tips and tricks on how to become a millionaire:
The time when you first wake up in the morning is precious. Make your first thought of the day be something that brings you immense joy. Before getting out of the bed or even moving, I recommend doing this simple meditation. Just focus on something that brings you intense joy (ex: eating a delicious desert, etc. ) and feel it with all of your senses, focus on the happiness that it brings you. This simple meditation/ritual is extraordinary effective. Don’t take my word for it, just try it for a week and see what happens.
Cut out time wasters (video games, TV, etc.). These activities essentially zombify you and pull you out of the present time. In fact, I believe that they are dangerous and degrade your mental and spiritual well being.
If you have not already, create your personal brand. This one is actually pretty simple and can be done in under 5 mins. Grab a piece of paper and describe how that you want to be perceived. It doesn’t have to be elaborate – 5 bullet points is enough. Then do your best to have your behavior and outward appearance align with this persona.
Appearance is very important. Humans are very visual animals. Make sure that your clothing style is consistent and that you feel awesome in what you wear. I highly recommend looking into Kibbie body times or even consulting a professional stylist (it’s worth the investment).
I also recommend performing a Sri Yantra meditationfor 5-10 or more minutes per day. Sri Yantra is a form of mystical diagram used in the Shri Vidya school of Hinduism (see picture below). It consists of nine interlocking triangles that surround a central point known as a bindu. Simply view an image of Sri Yantra (can be digital or physical) and focus on the central point (bindu). You can even combine this meditation with a mantra (see my top 5 wealth mantra post for ideas). I’m not sure how it works, but it just does. There are thousands of people out there raving about their successes with Sri Yantra. I recommend performing this meditation for at least a week or until you reach the desired results.
I’m sure that you have noticed that things aren’t peachy right now. Lots of people are losing their businesses and jobs. There is a good chance that we are heading towards a Great Depression-style economic disaster.
Here are some tips on how to minimize the damage and possibly even take advantage of the economic crisis:
Avoid risky stock market bets. We have not yet hit the rock bottom. There is a good chance that the majority of company stocks, etc. will continue to devalue. Avoid purchasing uncertain investments as the price may continue dropping.
Avoid major large purchases such as real property, etc. Property values are likely to drop or at least remain stagnant for a while. On the bright side (and if you have the cash), it may be a great time to scoop up a couple properties at an auction.
Try to cut your spending and adhere to a strict budget. This one is absolutely crucial. It’s time to look at your monthly bank statements and trim all the junk (such as unnecessary subscription services, small late-night purchased on Amazon or AliExpress, etc.). If you are paying a lot in interest, it is time to consolidate your loans or even pay off credits cards to lower the overall monthly expenses. The goal here is to cut your spending as much as possible.
Reduce monthly rent/mortgage payments. Rent/mortgage payments are frequently the biggest expenses. If you can, this is a good time to look into moving back in with family members, re-negotiating lease payments, moving to a cheaper neighborhood, refinancing, etc. I know this sounds extreme, but we are potentially dealing with Great Depression 2.0 here.
Focus on self-improvement and learning new skills. This is a time to slow down and focus on yourself. The world is uncertain right now and it’s not clear what will happen next. Your best bet is to spend this time picking up some new skills.
Don’t go crazy buying up food and toilet paper. The odds of us having a significant food shortages are very slim. You will just end up throwing away tons of uneaten food (and over spending).
And for Pete’s sake, please don’t blow your money on “prepper” junk. If the society is so far gone that you have to rely on your prepper kit to survive, it’s probably Game Over for all of us anyways.
Stay positive and limit your news intake. I recommend starting your day by listing 5 things that you enjoy/are happy with and doing some gratitude meditations. Avoid news/politics to at most 15 mins/day. I recommend BBC versus US-based sources such as Fox News, etc. Everything will be OK.
The world is changing. Be creative. The world is ultimately going to be unrecognizable in 25 years. This is an exciting time of innovation and all is possible. Be creative.
Does the thought of going to a luxury store/venue make you anxious? Do you frequently feel inadequate? Do you obsessively worry about bills before you fall asleep? If you said yes to any of these, you might have a poverty mindset. There are a lot of articles out there describing the poverty mindset and its effects, but I have yet to see anyone providing realistic solutions to this problem. Listed below is a simple 5-step guide to illuminating the poverty mindset once and for all:
Step 1 – work on improving yourself daily. Whether it’s an exercise plan, taking courses, trying to meditate, etc., having some kind of a daily self-care and self-improvement plan raises your self worth and helps you feel like one of the winners. The act of self-care is what matters here and even 10 mins/day will get you results.
Step 2 – stay in present time. This one is pretty important. You must do all you can to not let your thoughts wonder into the past (or future). All of us have that one embarrassing/cringe thing that you did that one time that keeps popping up as you are trying to fall asleep, or money worries about the future. Your goal is to keep these thoughts away and focus only on what’s happening at the present time. I recommend the “Rubber Band Technique” for this. You simply put a rubber band around your wrist and flick it any time that you get lost in the past. This method is very simple and yet tremendously effective.
Step 3 – avoid negative media/people. Try your best to avoid images of violence, trash talk, etc. (yes, this does include horror movies and some reality TV). This rule also extends to your conversations with those around you. You must try to avoid participation in gossip, excessive criticizing and the general “low vibrational” topics.
Step 4 – be honest with yourself. Try to avoid affirmations such as “I am a millionaire”, etc. You must be as honest as possible with yourself as otherwise your mind will simply reject the affirmation (and create some unwanted side-effects). Set up realistic goals (and corresponding affirmations) that can be accomplished within a few weeks.
Step 5 – spend several minutes each day deeply enjoying something. Find a food, activity, etc. that makes you very happy and enjoy it. Explain to yourself why that you are enjoying this activity. Do it daily. Or take a minute or two each time to list out things that make you happy and why that they make you happy. This is a type of a gratitude meditation and it truly works to make you happier, more successful and confident in as little as 2 weeks.
Whether it’s due to seasonal depression, criticism or a set back, staying positive and motivated is hard for most of us. Nevertheless, having a positive outlook is a must even if you have to fake it at first (trust me, it works still). Here are my five steps to remaining positive on your way to absolute success:
Step 1: Exercise. I’m listing exercising as the first step as it’s a must. Exercise releases dopamine and gives you that sense of accomplishment (as successful accomplishments might be rare if you are just starting out on your path to entrepreneurship). It also keeps you looking good as, after all, looks are just about everything.
Step 2: Vocalize why you are happy and grateful. Literally saying out loud that you are grateful and happy eventually leads to actual sense of happiness. Be specific and as genuine as possible. Look around the room and list the objects that make you happy and why. Example: “this table makes me sooooo happy as it’s made out of beautiful red wood.” I’m not sure how it works, but it does work 100% of the time. It will take a bit of practice and time to fully take effect, but you will notice changes after the first day.
Step 3: Distract yourself from negative thoughts. This one is bit harder to practice. You must distract yourself when you mind starts playing negative and self-deprecating thoughts. I recommend an old Scientology practice of simply listing everything in the room (now, I am not a fan of Scientology by any means, but they do have a thing or two that works).
Step 4: Avoid laying down/sleeping during the day. You might not have much to do at first and therefore have an excess of free time. Don’t let yourself get sucked into watching TV(or YouTube) all day! You must do everything you can to feel productive as otherwise you may lose your momentum. The more you do you the more that you are able to accomplish.
Step 5: Laugh and spend time with family(or friends). Socializing is a must even if you are an introvert. You must try to be around people. No friends or family around? When take a trip to the local coffee shop so that you are surrounded by people.
That’s it. Just remember – life is beautiful! Even having access to internet is a privilege that some people don’t have. You, on the other hand, have all the tools you need to succeed. Just keep following my advise and you will be there soon.
This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.
Hello. Let me teach you how to make your first million. Now, do I have my first million yet you ask? Well, not yet but I am very close to getting there. What I can offer you is advise from one of world’s premier minds, business owners and occultists. I am here to offer you several ways to earn your first capital and archive real results. Now, this won’t be a long book as who reads anymore – am I right or am I right?
I am here to offer
you an easy to understand and implement system of 10 steps to reach
material freedom. Speaking of material freedom – this is what most
of us want, after all. It’s not about how much money you have but
about how much freedom and free time that you have. None of us want
to be burdened by 9 to 5 (more like 8 to 6 these days), essentially
being wage slaves. With my easy 10 step system, you can say goodbye
to wage slavery and start earning your first million:
Step 1: Grow your investment capital
It’s no secret that you have to have money to make money. How do we
get there? Well, you have to put in your work first and get some
initial capital going. It doesn’t have to be much, but you have to
have money to either take some time off work or to invest into your
trade. This is a must and I would recommend that you start working on
it immediately. This can be archived by getting a part time job or a
saving account. $1,500 to $5,000 should be enough for Step 1.
Step 2: Invest in yourself
Investing in yourself is not an expense but, of course, an
investment. Don’ t be afraid to spent money on yourself. Whether
it’s buying financial advise books or taking courses, investing in
yourself is a must. You reading this book already tells me that you
are on your way there. Continue to allocate money into yourself or
even spending time utilizing free resources that are out there such
as YouTube, etc. There are some wonderful channels out there that
give great financial advise and education.
Step 3: Perfect Your Image
Ever heard people say that “image is everything?” Well, it is.
You want your appearance to relay a clear and beneficial to you
message. I would suggest looking into the general human archetypes
and implementing 1-2 of them. Now, I know that we all are far more
complex than simple archetypes and stereotypes. Robert Green says
“think for yourself but behave like others” – meaning that you
can be as complicated and paradoxical as a person, but you do want to
relay a very clear image. For example, if you are an entrepreneur,
you would want to model yourself after the classic entrepreneur image
– Steve Jobs, etc. Now, there are exceptions to the rule here but
the general rule of thumb is that your image needs to be familiar to
those that you interact with, which evokes addition trust and
credibility to you because of the image.
Step 4: Expend your Social Circle
I hate to say it, but friendships equal money. The more friends that
you have, the more money and opportunities you will likely to have. I
would suggest working to expend your circle of friends and
acquaintances now so when it does come in need, you are ready.
Friends can help you acquire a customer base and additional
opportunities.
Step 5: Perform a Self-Inventory
This one is pretty simple. Write our your talents and possible
marketable skills, as well as items that you are hopelessly awful at.
This will give you an accurate assessment of what you strengths are
and the direction that you need to go in. The most important thing is
to be honest with yourself. The more honest that you are while
performing the self-inventory, the more likely that you are to
succeed.
Step 6: Start a Business (or several)
It is very easy to start a business in US. I would suggest organizing
your business as a sole-proprietorship in the beginning. Doing so
will cut down any costs associated with the business set up. Check
your local and state laws to see if you need a business license and
you are good to go! If a business license is needed, a simple trip to
your local courthouse or registry of deeds should get you set up.
Capitalize on your skills. Are you good at teaching? You can start as
a tutor and grow from there. Do you enjoy working out? Then look into
doing personal training (please note that some places require
personal trainers to be licensed, which is usually fairly easy to
acquire). Make sure that you pick something that you enjoy doing.
Step 7: Grow your Business
Once your business is going, start promoting it online and locally.
Getting a business location also helps as it makes your business more
respectable. If you business needs additional help growing, I would
suggest some of the practices as taught by Adrey Duiko. Once you have
sufficient net profit coming in, start hiring your replacement.
Step 8: Know When to Stop
It’s possible that what you are doing is not the right thing and
maybe there way a glitch in the steps 1 to 7 (especially step 5). If
your business/enterprise is not making any income within the first
month, it may be time to start with something else. Low profits are
OK in the beginning, but no profits is an issue. Under no
circumstances should you start investing money in a failing business.
It’s always easier to separate if you have not invested a lot.
Don’t be one of those schmucks that mortgages this house to
continue feeding his struggling business.
Step 9: Get your Juju Right
Lets talk about success. Why are some people successful at one thing
while others fail at the exact same thing? Well, there is some sort
of a…force out there that determines one’s success. I believe
that at some point in the future, this force will be quantified. For
right now, lets call it fortune or luck. Some people are born with
it, others have to work to get there and most will simply suffer
being unlucky. In order to cultivate this luck, I would again
recommend practices of Adrey Duiko and his Kailas school. Their first
course is available in English for free.
Step 10: And the Most Important Step – Positive Thinking(it’s
true)
You absolutely must always remain positive. You must live every day
as if you are trustingly jumping off the cliff with an expectation
that everything will be just fine. Don’t doubt yourself and don’t
think about the perceived past failings. I would recommend starting
the day with a positive meditation or a pep talk to yourself.
As you can see, making your first million is fairly easy. Just follow these 10 easy steps and the money will be yours. Soon you will enjoy the wonderful lifestyle of the rich and famous as long as you follow this simple and concise guide.
