Who is the hardest person to sell? Friends? Family?

The Hardest Person to Sell is …

On December 15, 2015June 4, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal Growth, Work From AnywhereLeave a comment

You might say the hardest person to sell is a friend …

or a family member.

Or is it …

The one who has been scammed one too many times?

The one who is strapped for cash?

The one who is already partnered up with another company or system?

The one who stalls making a decision for days/weeks/months?

NOPE!

The hardest person to sell is YOU!

[Tweet “If you don’t believe in yourself AND in what you are selling, you’re screwed from the start.”]

People have a keen sense of smell when it comes to confidence …

and if you are not 100% sold on what you are sharing with others, it will smell as bad as meat rotting in the garbage.

Your success really all comes down to belief.

It’s a two part equation:

FIRST: Believe in your product or service, and customers will line up to buy.

In sales, it’s not what you say; it’s how they perceive what you say. –Jeffrey Gitomer

When you are “sold” on your product or service, the energy that emanates as you speak to someone is felt, not just heard.

Have you ever had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant? How excited were you to share your experience with others?

Or, have you ever found a hairdresser or physical trainer or dentist that gave you the best service you have ever received?

I’m sure you couldn’t wait to tell your friends about it. You raved about the experience. You couldn’t say enough good things about it!

When you can get as excited about your business as you do about your hairdresser, a restaurant, a great movie or a fantastic sale at a local department store, the results you achieve will change dramatically.

[Tweet “Their hesitancy to buy is caused by the hesitancy of your belief.”]

The best way to get excited and build confidence and belief about what you are “selling” is to KNOW what you selling.

Invest time in the back office going through everything, and I mean everything … the training, the products, the commissions.

It’s not that you will need to share ALL this knowledge to make a sale; it’s that knowing what you have to offer will help solve a problem your prospect is having as your conversation continues.

All that selling requires is for you to provide a solution to someone’s pain or provide a means of pleasure to lead them to a decision.

A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. -Plato

The more you know about your product and service, the greater number of people you will help, and the greater your income will be.

Once you have this knowledge and understanding, you’ll have “sold” the hardest person to sell.

Not everyone is cut from the same mold and when you have a complete knowledge and understanding of your product/service, you’ll be able to match your product/service to their needs.

Gaining the knowledge of your product or service will gain you confidence … which leads to belief … which leads to trust … which leads to sales.

SECOND: Believe in yourself and you will be unstoppable.

But you will be stopped in your tracks if you feel that you are not good enough, smart enough, or creative enough to achieve what you want in life.

[Tweet “A lack of self-worth will afflict and affect every conversation you have with prospects.”]

The energy behind your spoken words is sensed by others. If you are doubtful, fearful and desperate to make a sale, it will be felt, no matter the words they hear.

Successful entrepreneurs know the hardest person to sell is themselves. This is why they invest time and money for personal development.

It’s not who you are that holds you back,
it’s who you think you’re not.

How to begin to believe in YOU?

The hardest person to sell is YOU.

Once you’re “sold,” the possibilities are unlimited.

Here’s to you!

Every SuperHero Secretly Wishes for this ONE SuperPower…

On October 13, 2015June 4, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal GrowthLeave a comment

The real Superhero behind the Why Quantum Physicists books, Greg Kuhn, reveals the one Superpower that every Superhero wishes they had.

This one skill has the power to completely change lives, to create abundance and well being, to mend or begin amazing relationships, to eliminate fear, build confidence and success and to manifest all that one desires.

It’s truly a superpower.

Check out the excerpt below, and read the full article here.

Listening to learn is a skill so vital, it is simply non-negotiable. In fact listening to learn is a real-life superpower.

Listening to Learn Erases All the Stuff You Were Scared Of .

The opposite of listening to learn is listening to blame. Whereas people who express to blame are usually blaming the other person, people who listen to blame are usually blaming themselves.

For example, if I’m expressing to blame (instead of learn) I’m expressing to discover how to make you “wrong” and if I’m listening to blame (rather than learn) I’m listening to discover how to make myself “right.”

Must Reads

Why Affirmations Don’t Work…
Quantum Physics base on the Law of Attraction
Let Go of the Past with Quantum Physics

If you’re willing to try listening to learn, you have very little to fear. You’ll never surrender your power. You’re not being weak. You’re not exhibiting a lack of confidence.

In fact, there is no greater evidence of confidence than listening to learn. It not only reveals your security, but shows that you’re comfortable with learning. And, as you probably well know, being comfortable with learning means you’re open to discovering that your understandings and perceptions (especially, in this case, about yourself) are open to revision.

This may be a new way of looking at personal development and creating the life you desire for some, but the truly great part is that this new paradigm actually works.

The fantastic news is that this superpower is real and is available to everyone. Even if you are not a superhero.

However, I believe that listening to learn will make you a superhero to someone.

Two Obstacles to Manifesting Your Desires

On September 10, 2015June 5, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal Growth, Vanabode Dream2 Comments

What are the two obstacles to manifesting your desires?

I know how frustrating it is to do your darnedest to manifest all that you desire and not “see” the results … been there, done that many, many times.

The fun part of manifesting your desires is the visualization of all that you desire to be, do and have in life. You become like a kid again, at first, your imagination conjures up EVERYTHING you’ve ever wanted, ever dreamed of – kind of like writing a long letter to Santa … a really, really long letter.

That’s the fun of it; well, it’s fun IF

1. You believe there are endless possibilities awaiting you

2. You have an unlimited account with the Universe

3. You can “feel” as it it’s already done for you

More on that later. Let’s get to the two obstacles that stand in your way. Here they are in all their shining glory, thing one and thing two:

LETTING GO OF HOW

LETTING GO OF WHEN

Let’s break it down in simple terms so you can begin to see how we muck up the manifestation process.

We’re all sorta control freaks about our lives. We are used to taking action to solve problems and get what we want.

For example, from early childhood it began …

You learned that you needed to study hard to get good grades.
Heck, you learned that you needed to stand and sit still to keep the teacher happy.
You then learned that you needed to go to college in order to get a good job. (we’ll discuss this fallacy in another blog post)
Then, you got your degree and landed a good job. (WHEW!)
Then, you learned that you had to work hard to get a raise or a promotion.
You’ve learned that in order to have a trim body, you need to work out.
You’ve also learned that you have to eat right in order to lose weight.

So, your programming from birth has been this: you do the work to receive the blessings, the praises, the success that you desire.

Is it any wonder then, that as soon as you begin visualizing something that you truly desire, you immediately start to try to figure out how to make it become our reality?

You fall back on what our programming has taught you –

“If it’s meant to be, it’s up to ME! ME! ME!”

Letting go of the HOW is not an easy thing to do.

You want to be the captain and steer in the direction that you think is going to be the best route to manifesting your desires while the real Captain, the Universe, has a whole ‘nuther plan.

Letting go of the HOW is key to manifesting your desires.

Also, letting go of the WHEN is just as vital.

We measure everything in time.

HOW MUCH TIME WILL IT TAKE?
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT?

Again, we’ve been programmed and have become the Give-It-To-Me-Now Generation. We expect instant gratification, push button results, overnight success, and lottery ticket winnings with everything in life.

Here’s the bad news about this programming. It causes you to contemplate and palpitate on the time factor when manifesting your desires.

When you question how long this is going to take to become your reality, you are calling up, firing up the familiar neural pathways to remind you of all the times you have felt lack, all the times you have felt there’s not enough of anything – time, money, love, food, happiness, etc.

When you question how long it’s taking, you are doubting. You are moving away from your desire rather than towards it.

And it’s back to the beginning.

Kinda like getting the “Go to Jail” card in Monopoly. Doubt sends you back to the beginning, to get clear, to get connected and to forget about time.

The Law of Attraction has been misunderstood by many people.

Yes, your thoughts create your reality.

But manifesting your desires is just not an act of “thinking” about what you want and SWOOSH it’s delivered to you as if you had rubbed a magic lamp.

That’s because there’s a whole lotta thinking going on in your mind, and you have a whole lotta programming to unwire.

If you’ve been following our posts, you know that we are waiting for our Vanabode to show up.

I AM like a little kid at Christmas – excited and expectant and EAGER for the Vanabode to arrive. I’ve got to be consciously aware of letting go, because we all battle the same programming that I mentioned above, and it’s so easy to get caught up in trying to connect all the dots.

Bruce and I have imagined and visualized continually over the past couple of months as we go through our daily routines … imagining how it would be to do the things we do every day as if we are in our Vanabode instead of in our pickup camper …

like making coffee,

charging our laptops and phones,

setting up a portable toilet,

using dry shampoo,

eating simply, and

conserving internet and battery power.

We’re living as if we were already IN the Vanabode and learning more everyday how to ease into this lifestyle.

We are ever SO READY … and are WAITING (without asking “how long” or trying to manipulate or finagle things to work out quickly.)

From my personal experience, and from what I’ve studied as a student and teacher of personal development, here is my guide to manifesting your desires:

1. Know clearly what you want to be, do and have

2. There are NO limits, no cap on your account – you can dream as big as you dare to dream.

3. You have to believe it BEFORE you see it … FEEL as if it has already become your reality.

4. LET GO of the how and when.

5. Celebrate everything with joy and gratitude.

6. Wait with awareness and unwavering expectancy.

It is your job to BE.
It is the job of the Universe to DO.

You BE the person you desire to be … NOW.
You BE the person doing the things you desire to do … NOW.
You BE the person having all the things you desire to have … NOW.

You BE, the Universe will DO it.

If this hadn’t happened many times in our life, I wouldn’t be writing this blog post.

Years ago, we began to visualize owning a camper so that we could live and travel fulltime. When people heard of our dream, they would ask, “when are you going to get it?”

Or they would want to know what our price range was so they could help us find the perfect camper.

We always answered, “We don’t have a price, we don’t have a savings account or will qualify for a loan. We will have the camper when it shows up.”

And it did! Miraculously! Out of the blue!

Our Vanabode will be here at the perfect time. It will be miraculous, too!

In the meantime, we continue on in the flow of letting go, surrendering, allowing and receiving … all from the ALL IN ALL.

I don’t know what’s on your list as you think about manifesting your desires … but I do know this. All that you dream of is waiting for you.

Here’s to your miraculous manifestations!

How to Let Go of the Past and Live in the Present Moment

On June 17, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal GrowthLeave a comment

How to let go of the past and live in the present moment.

It’s the crux of all counseling, the antidote for all suffering, and the conditioning of our minds … the past.

So, the #1 question, “how to let go of the past and live in the present moment?” is definitely worth answering … but I have to tell you that it’s not a simple “flip of the switch” with positive thinking that you might have been taught.

You see, even when you decide to “make a break from the past” and decide to be happy and joyful, or you decide to lose weight, quit smoking, start your own business, and you start thinking positive thoughts, the negative ones are still hanging around like a stray cat (you know, when you feed a cat once, it is yours forever!)

Whatever change your decide to make – your mind and body create chaos.

It’s like your decision to change is suddenly attacked from all sides by endless chatter – reminders of all the reasons you shouldn’t be happy, successful, thin, etc. (totally based on past feelings, emotions, and experiences.)

It’s a tough battle to fight, but you can win it.

“5% of the mind is conscious, struggling against the 95 percent that is running the subconscious automatic programs. We’ve memorized a set of behaviors so well that we have become an automatic, habitual body-mind. In fact, when the body has memorized a thought, action, or feeling to the extent that the body is the mind- when mind and body are one – we are (in a state of) being the memory of ourselves.” – Dr. Joe Dispenza

First, you must understand how your body and mind have become conditioned to operate from past memories which explains why every change that you attempt will be stomped on and ridiculed by an endless stream of thoughts from your subconscious mind.

It might be hard for you
to comprehend this, but
you are not awake.

You are operating on autopilot. Oh, I know it doesn’t make sense because your eyes are open, you are moving about today, getting things done and not laying in bed snoring like a bear in hibernation.

Here’s what has happened to your mind and body over the past ten, twenty, thirty or more years:

You experienced something that caused a certain feeling like anger, jealously, doubt, fear, worthlessness, embarrassment, and so on.

That feeling sent signals to your brain that caused a chemical reaction which was delivered to your cells; so, now your cells are swimming in a sea of anger, jealousy, doubt, fear, and other negative chemicals.

Your cells have receptors that take in and process these chemicals, and they become addicted. In time, they require a stronger “fix” which is only satisfied by a stronger negative emotion.

When you decide to make a change in your life, to be happy or to do something different than you’ve ever done before, your cells start feeling the pains of withdrawal, so the hypothalamus signals the brain to start thinking “the old way.”

And that’s when those thoughts start their chatter and reminder that you have always been this way and it’s not worth it, it’s too much work, it can wait.

how-to-let-go-of-the-past-and-live-in-the-present-moment — You are a magnificent being here to experience a magnificent life!

This is why it’s so vital to your well being to learn how to let go of the past and live in the present moment.

It requires stillness, it requires study, it requires letting go, but most of all it requires accessing and connecting to the power you have within you to overcome time.

Through the recent study of “Grow a Greater You” by Greg Kuhn and “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” by Dr. Joe Dispenza, I am learning more about the amazing power each one of us has within to change our limiting beliefs and create the life that we desire.

I invite you to join the on-going study, the journey, the exploration, the discovery of how to let go of the past and live in the moment on the Journey to Magnificence mindset call.

The transformations and breakthroughs being experienced by those who participate and contribute to our discussions have been awe-inspiring.

We meet live every Monday – Friday at 10 am Eastern by dialing in here: 712-775-7085 pin 150703#

I also realize that everyone has busy lives, hectic schedules that prevent them from dialing in for the live call. All calls are available to listen to at your own convenience here.

Stay tuned to this blog to learn more about changing your beliefs and stepping into your power to create a magnificent life.

Have you gained new understanding of why it’s so hard to change from what I’ve shared so far?

addiction is in every life

Addiction is in Every Life

On June 15, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal GrowthLeave a comment

Addiction is in every life, in one form or another.

Now, our perception of addiction immediately causes thoughts of the addition to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes which we have experienced either personally or through a close friend or family member.

But, not every addiction is a physical one in terms of needing a substance for a “fix.”

In the book “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself,” by Dr. Joe Dispenza, we learn that every cell in our body becomes addicted to the chemical reactions caused by our emotions.

Emotions such as anger, blame, guilt, resentment, jealousy, blame, judgment, sadness, and worthlessness create chemicals that feed your cells, which in turn makes your body feel that exact emotion,

which in turn, creates more thoughts about the guilt or blame or whatever negative emotion you are feeling …

and the cycle continues in a downward spiral that creates a reality exactly matched to how you are feeling.

Soon, your cells need a stronger “fix” just as a drug addict soon turns to a stronger drug to get a higher high.

What’s an emotional addict to do? There is hope, there is a way to break these addictions. Download the MP3 from the Journey to Magnificence mindset call to begin “rehab.”

Do you see the endless cycle that is created by your emotions?

This explains why it’s so difficult to change your life. Even when you are inspired and motivated and determined to change.

Your cells are addicted and any change in your emotions makes them go through withdrawal just as a drug addict does. It’s not pleasant.

Is there any hope? Is it possible to break this addiction?

Indeed it is. It requires rewiring, reprogramming, re-membering your brain.

The Journey to Magnificence mindset call is a study group, a mastermind group of people who believe they are destined for a greater life.

We gather to read, study, discuss and receive wisdom and knowledge concerning our personal development and to develop the skills and power to manifest all that we desire.

Come join us on this life changing, life transforming call. We meet every Monday – Friday at 10 am Eastern.

All recordings are available here.

If you have been thinking positive thoughts, visualizing your desires and dreams for years, studying personal development, repeating affirmations … all without seeing those BIG desires manifest in your life … this calls for you.

It’s not you, it’s your wiring, your programming and your mind and body not cooperating. Come join the journey!

See you on the call!

Quantum Physics is the New Law of Attraction Paradigm

On April 15, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal Growth, Work From Anywhere2 Comments

Quantum Physics is the new Law of Attraction Paradigm.

First off, allow me to issue this disclaimer: I am not a physicist, nor a science major … not even close. Nor am I a Law of Attraction guru.

This is just me, a student and practitioner of the Law of Attraction, who has recently understood Quantum Physics’ undeniable proof that we CAN, we ARE able to create (manifest) our greatest desires.

And, like me, you’re probably wondering how quantum physics is the new Law of Attraction paradigm. You’re probably also wondering what the heck do you mean by paradigm.

A paradigm is a theory or a group of ideas about how something should be done, made, or thought about and for all of our lives, we have been living in the Neanderthal paradigm.

But, a shift has occurred and the old paradigm is being replaced with Quantum Physics.

And now, we are beginning to understand why all the affirmations and positive thinking taught to us by Law of Attraction books and teachers have not worked. They will not work (in most cases) if we continue to live in the old paradigm.

Fortunately, all that you have learned and have been “doing” is easily reinforced and expanded beyond what you can imagine with quantum physics.

The saying “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear” is exactly what happened when I discovered the book “Why Quantum Physicists Play Grow a Greater You” by Greg Kuhn.

Now before you roll your eyes and yawn about a “science” book, I assure you that this book is written in a conversational manner that helps you grasp a new understanding of what an amazing creator you are.

Learning how Quantum Physics is the new Law of Attraction paradigm will open the doors to more of everything you desire … money, health, relationships, self-confidence, success, etc.

I recently had the pleasure and honor of interviewing Greg Kuhn as a prelude to our mastermind study of his book.

In the first few days of the reading and discussion of “Grow a Greater You,” people are coming alive, filled with endless energy and assurance that their life has just taken a turn towards a new, abundant future.

I invite you to join us. Our mastermind study is open to anyone who desires to transform their life through the renewing of their mind.

We meet Monday through Friday at 10 am Eastern.

This is the book that for generations to come, will be the one that is studied, revered and treasured just as ‘Think and Grow Rich” is now.

Thank you for being open and willing to walk a new path. I share in the thrill of your transformation and celebration of all that you manifest in your life.
