It is not uncommon for us to have thoughts that turn into reality. There are hundreds of books and articles from across a wide array of disciplines to back this up. The majority of the time this happens by accident. For example, “gee I haven’t seen any green cars today” generally what happens in a short period of time you start to see green cars. Now I am not going to go into any in depth analysis on the matter rather I am going to encourage you to take advantage of this phenomenon and purposefully think about what you would like to accomplish.
Take a moment right now to clear your mind. Once you have cleared your mind I want you to think about what you would like to accomplish. For example you could think of incorporating a wellness program or Twist workshops. Focus your mind.
By being focused you will begin to see opportunities that have always been there. You may ask yourself, “Well if they have always been there why did I not see them before?” The answer is simple; you had not taken the time to prepare your mind to identify those opportunities.
This past week I was teaching Achieve Fitness USA University in Philly. In our discussions on the wellness programs many questions where brought up regarding where do I find information such as facts and stats that I could use to promote the wellness program. Now we can and will supply you with some facts and stats it is also important being to develop your own knowledge and identify opportunities to do so. While I was in the airport waiting to catch my flight back to Denver, Colorado I stop by one of the news stands and wouldn’t you know it the magazine Scientific American (Feb 2011 www.ScientificAmerican.com) right on the cover had an article entitled “Scaling Back Obesity” Now with in the first paragraph it identified some facts and stats regarding obesity:
“Obesity is responsible for more than 160,000 excess deaths a year, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The average obese person costs society more than $7,000 a year in lost productivity and added medical treatment, say researchers at George Washington University. Lifetime added medical costs alone for a person 70 pounds or more overweight amount to as much as $30,000, depending on race and gender”
The ability to identify opportunities to grow your business certainly is closer than most of us think.
