Can't and Newbie, Sure Paths to Failure!

By Randy - The Hermit - Baustert

Being in the right frame of mind is more important then all the information you have acquired. There is a leader in industry by the name of Henry Ford who had very little formal education, but what he did have was a mindset that created a desire in him that practically forced him to achieve his goals. One of his most quoted sayings is, "Whether you think you can or think you can't you are right."

Henry Ford's mindset created a completely new way for industry to create products and it could even be attributed to helping start the industrial revolution. Why? Simply because he had the desire to reach his goals and he wouldn't accept can't as an excuse.

If you are constantly using the word can't you are sure to find failure. You have to believe you can before you can. I like to define can't as:

C= Conveniently.

A= Accepting.

N= Negative.

T= Thoughts

Whenever you say you can't do something, you are conveniently accepting negative thoughts. There is always a way to achieve your goals.

It doesn't mean you can't do something just because you don't know how to do it

It doesn't mean it can't be done just because no one has done it before.

All you need to do to achieve the things you think you can't do is to create a mindset that gives you a burning desire to accomplish you goals. You can do anything you just have to figure out how.

Besides can't there is another term you should avoid and that is newbie. "I am a newbie", is probably the most commonly used excuse that I hear.

You say that being a newbie is the truth and not an excuse. Well, it might be the truth but it is almost always used as an excuse when someone says they are a newbie. Such as:

Question: What is your website?

Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.

Question: What is your specialty?

Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.

Question: Have you started building your list yet?

Answer: No, I am a newbie.

It is apparent by the questions and answers that newbie is being used as an excuse because they haven't done anything yet. I have to admit that I said I was a newbie when I just started but the faster you get over this the better, for you.

But just being a newbie doesn't mean that you can't take action. Getting started doesn't take a lot but you have to take action in order to start. - 14915
