Natalie and I go to a something called Old School Saturday (OSS for short!) a few times a year. It is a gathering of mature professionals and nostalgic people longing for the music of yesteryear.
Ok, it is 3,000-4,000 people shaking their rumps to 70's and 80's music..."grown and sexy" is the mantra for this crowd...most in their 40's and upwards...way upwards!
There are a few songs that when played illicit that visceral response and fills the dance floor...
Word Up! by Cameo is one of them...trust me...you have heard it!
That is what I used to tell my children...
Word Up!
It was designed to be a mental "anchor" to let them know they had drifted off the ranch of optimism and positivity to one of pessimism and negativity (Can you imagine living in my household?).
I would say to them,
"If a picture is worth a 1000 words, what is your mouth saying about your mind?
Read that again if you need to...
I hear so many people trying to disguise their minds with their words - they are not congruent (you had to know that was going to come up again!)
"How is it going?" I ask.
"Wonderful", they begin.
...wait for it...wait for it....here it comes...
"Except (ahhh...there it goes!) the people I keep getting as leads don't want to buy. Oh yes, our customer service folks lost me another sale and by the way, there is talk about our premiums going up next year. If it isn't one thing...
Word Up!
What are you saying on a daily basis? Do the words you speak line up with what you want or are your words trying to put on a "good show" but deep down are fearful or discouraged?
Ever heard the expressions,
"Watch your mouth"
or
"Do you see what I am saying?"
Those colloquial expressions indicate a direct connection between what you are "seeing and watching" in your mind and the journey those thoughts make from your brain...to your mouth...a jouney of less than six inches (unless you have a long head!)
Your thoughts are private...only you know deep down what you are thinking...thank goodness!
Your words are public...they are your thoughts crystallized and immortalized in sound...you cant take them back...you always "pay the price" for your words.
Why not make your words pay you...literally? Remember our Evolution of Completion progression?

Remember the number you wrote down from Mind On Your Money? Yes, that one!

In the privacy of your own space I want you to talk to yourself. It is called "self talk" or affirmations. The best, brightest and richest (now I have your attention!) people in the world engage in it. It is the systematic process of reprogramming your thinking and then governs what comes out of your mouth.
I want you to tell yourself a few things every day until the thoughts and words line up:
I have all the gifs and talents necessary to generate an income of $________________
I am being strategically guided to the opportunity I am supposed to engage in to generate an income of $________________
Every activity I engage in is leading me to the people I am supposed to serve with my gifts to generate an income of $________________
Look...I know this career is challenging and there are a lot of forces working against you. But you should not be your own worse enemy sabotaging your success through contradictory thoughts and words.
It is time to get excited about who you are, what you are capable of and what you are getting ready to do...if your words today aren't supporting the destiny you have outlined for yourself I have only one thing left to say...
Word Up!
Until tomorrow, I wish you Money, Power, Success!
