I found this wonderful video snippet from professor Tina Seelig of Stanford University, from her presentation, The Art of Teaching Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

It shows the power of the imagination to turn problems into opportunities. In these experiments the starting points were extremely simple starting materials plus motivated students, unleashing their inner entrepreneur. It’s a fertile ground for creativity and innovation, no matter what problem is presented.

You can listen to the complete 52 minute talk called The Art of Teaching Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Tina Seelig is the author of the recent best selling book, What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20: A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the World. Written for newbies embarking on the entrepreneurial journey, business people at various levels of experience have found many useful ideas as well.

Before we venture out full throttle in our respective directions, let’s take the time to meditate on the business and life we want to create for ourselves.

Knowing what we want as entrepreneurs and taking command of our own mind will allow us to successfully navigate the waves of change.

In order to do that, we must take control of our own thinking process. If we do not, the accelerating changes, which are virtually unstoppable, will completely consume us.

Even if we do manage to keep pace, we risk becoming frustratingly more knowledgeable, yet powerless, unless we can truly master our own mind.

In his New Year’s Message, Tulshi Sen says, “It is time to step back and take a hard look at our life and put into practice all the Laws of Success; and have the Law of Attraction obey us; and only attract what we want and not what we fear.” It’s not a one-time effort, but requires daily focus until it becomes as natural as breathing.

Mastery by transcending and taking command of the mind is at the heart of the four proclamations described in Tulshi Sen’s Ancient Secrets Of Success for Today’s World. It is very simple to practice and only takes a few minutes a day.

These proclamations reveal the truth of who we really are. Only then can we take command of our lives. Tulshi Sen says, “When we know the truth and understand the truth and enter into the wisdom of the truth, we become the truth.”

Then nothing can stop us from the success we are seeking. We’ll live from the core of our being and be in full control of our lives.

You may be enjoying wonderful HOLIDAY gatherings with family and friends or traveling to exotic warm places. Many of you will be spending time celebrating the season, while finishing up year-end work and planning for next year.

Yes, excitement is high this time of the year, and so is the STRESS level of the holidays for many I am sure.

Now, imagine dealing with the stress of the holidays in such a unique way that allows us to feel the joy of the holidays, while creating the best vision of who we want to become as individuals and entrepreneurs? This is exactly the gift I received from my Teacher’s latest Teleseminar:

“Raise Your Belief Level To Turn Stress Of the Season To More Joy For The Season”
Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World, describes the three causes of stress and how it gets triggered, robbing us of the Holidays’ true purpose. He says, “The Holiday is for empowerment. We just finished thanksgiving and are full of gratitude for the Harvest of our Life. This is a time to go deep beneath the surface of the snow and meditate and vision for the spring to sprout a new life and bring forth the process of growth.”

He also talks about this being a time to let go and allow ourselves to follow the natural process. “It is a quiet, contemplative time, away from all negativity.  We don’t want to rush. We must let ourselves go and let whatever comes, come. We must follow nature.”

For those of us who typically feel a sense of urgency and the need to accomplish goals within an self-imposed time-frame, this certainly is a welcome breath of fresh air. Mr. Sen reminds us to just be present, grateful and giving and to let go of all other expectations from others.

He also reminds us that stress can be leveraged for power, but only if we have a purpose and vision for our lives. If we already have a vision, but it’s causing us frustration and worry, then it’s not really a vision.

“Vision Is A Sight, which need not be manifested because it’s already there. A Vision becomes manifest. We do not manifest a vision. We live it. We have to see it to believe it.”

As entrepreneurs it’s easy to get so caught up in the stress of the doing and the getting that we forget the Real Secret to Success is knowing we already have what we want and letting the Universe find the best way to unfold it for us. The more we can raise our belief level and get out of our own way, the less stress we will experience in the long run.

Stress is a great indicator of where we have placed our thoughts. He says that “Our stress comes out of our (lack of) belief level. Do we believe that we can accomplish our goals? If we believe we can, we cannot be stressed.”

When we can welcome the real message our Consciousness is trying to tell us, we can turn the stress into power. All of nature works this way. Evolution is proof of it.

Metamorphosis
Most of us are familiar with the miracle of the caterpillar becoming a monarch butterfly. This process is taught in basic science classes in most schools around the world. The transformation of the caterpillar into a butterfly is one of the most powerful examples of purposeful stress turned into power.

But, how many of us recognize that these same principles can apply to our own journey as entrepreneurs? All the great stories of success point to these principles of transformation of stress from one form or another into success.

I love listening to Mr. Tulshi Sen describing this process. Each time I listen to the telecast, I gain a much deeper heart-felt understanding of how I can apply this to my own journey. It inspires me to persevere with new levels of patience and feelings for my vision as I create this new cycle of my life.

May You Be Filled With Much Love And Vision This Holiday Season!

Let us take a journey into the heart of the entrepreneur, where impossible dreams are conceived out of no-thing:

The Visioning Process
You are living at the center of your being. You ask yourself, “What do I want to create for my business? This is your intention.

Your want comes out of lack. It forms the embryo of your vision. It triggers your imagination, which is the womb that nurtures your vision to shape what you want to create.

If you know you can have it by existing means available, it’s not really a vision. It’s just a to-do list. A true vision comes from something that did not exist before.

Once we see it done, the vision is ours. We already have it inside. While living and growing the vision in the womb of our imagination, we carry out your daily activities with due diligence and a heightened sense of awareness and expectation. And, because we actually see it done already, the Universe gets to work to bring us all the needed tools. Manifestation is our vision’s birth in the physical world.

The great teachers, east and west say the same thing. For example, Jesus of Nazareth said, ” What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” (Mark 11:24)

And this is how truly successful entrepreneurs live; with certainty and awakened Consciousness.

Raising Your Belief Level
The power of the universe is inside us. Do we see it? Are we nurturing our vision? We can harness this power only when we are living and creating from our authentic self. When we are in that energy, the vision will develop.

More importantly, we need to work on our own personality. And that’s where the real work begins because our environment, our upbringing and our ingrained habits interpret that want and tell us that we can’t have it, because it’s beyond our current means.

We have to really believe in what we want and not make-believe it. Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World says, “To train the mind to believe we create out of no-thing is our mission in life.” The mind cannot vision. It can only project the future based on our past and present conditions. We have to convince the mind to obey our heart, our consciousness.

That is where the four proclamations come in. These simple meditative practices transform the personality by freeing the mind from past conditioning, current limitations and fear of the future.

We can’t effectively use the mind to convince the mind. We have to transcend the mind with the deep insights from consciousness. And that’s an inner journey.

Nurturing Your Inner Environment
Look inside your own heart for the answers to what you want for your business and your own development. When we believe that in the want is the power of the Universe with all its means, then we can get it. As Tulshi Sen says, ” Every desire carries its own mathematics with it. It has all the means in it, if we can really believe in it.” All contradictions will melt away.

I have found that when I get caught up too much in my head, I get overwhelmed by choices and decisions that need to be made. A part of me just wants to escape and I either delay taking relevant action or end up reversing decisions made under scarcity pressures. It’s a waste of energy, time and money.

It is only when I get back into my heart by surrendering to my Consciousness, do I find the peace and clarity to move forward again. That’s where real power lies. Appropriate action will come as a natural response to a raised belief level. Then I can see opportunities and self-development choices from a whole new vantage point. That’s when I and my vision become one.

The Universe doesn’t make mistakes. But the mind frequently misses the mark unless the belief level is raised by our consciousness.

Know Why You Want It
We can begin by questioning our own motives for creating what we want to create. We do this from the place of knowing that everything we need is there to manifest what our heart wants. The universe is just waiting for us to uncover, focus and hold fast to what we want.

When we know what we really want and believe it in our heart, the means will present itself. That’s the Law of the Universe.

It’s important to keep asking ourselves, “What is my deep burning desire?” Desire is not a lament. It is a promise waiting to be fulfilled by the power of your Vision.

Chris Guerriero believes that everyone has multiple books inside them. He has made it his business to help both the newbie as well as the rich and famous become successful book authors and recognized experts in their unique fields.

Book Publishing Paradigm Shift
He and Armand Morin, creator of BigSeminar 13, had an insightful discussion about the paradigm shifting dynamics of today’s book publishing world. He himself has encountered only a few examples of authors making large scale sales using the traditional book marketing approach alone.

He also believes that it’s extremely difficult to get mass market sales using digital publishing alone.

The best approach is to do both physical and digital publishing. For online information marketers, Chris Guerriero recommends starting with a digital book supported by multiple online marketing strategies. This provides a wonderful, flexible media for testing, fine-tuning and upgrading content and promotions, while sales are coming in.

Hardcover Leverages Digital Book Sales
Proceeds from the sales can then be used to physically publish the hardcover version. Credibility and recognition are most easily built when authors have a hardcover version of their book available. However, large scale and more profitable book sales are achieved through a carefully positioned digital marketing strategy. The credibility leverage by having a hardcover version of your book can never be lost. It actually attracts much larger digital book sales.

Through his own experience as a multimillion books author, speaker and e-business mentor to his clients, Chris has gotten really good at this. And he had a great start, selling 60,000 copies of his first digital book in 60 days and 390,000 copies in the first year.

Chris Guerriero shows entrepreneurs how to get their book rapidly created, use it to establish their expertise and turn those books into a business that pre-sells the highly interested reader to access further products through their marketing funnels.

I’ve been participating in Tulshi Sen’s (author of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World) wonderful audio webcasts about goal setting from a raised belief level. His insights are universal and especially appeal to the entrepreneur wanting to make a meaningful difference in the success of their business and life.

Right off the bat, Tulshi Sen challenges us with, “When we set goals and our mind knows it can achieve it, it is not a vision, it is a to-do list.”

How often in business have we been guilty of this, by passing off our sure-bets as goal-setting? Too often?

Goal Setting Compromised
In my corporate experience this was labeled as the ‘A for Attainment’ element when setting SMART goals. I remember being puzzled by this. Now I see it was really a process for organizing and managing plans, capacities and responsibilities. It did have some degree of stretch you could financially project. But, since compensation was tied to the attainment, it bred a certain level of caution. Of course, this was an easier process when you were in a growth business, as I was. What was missing was the emphasis on raising your belief level to bring you and your team into new possibilities and visions.

Raising Your Belief Level
80% or more of attaining Success has to do with raising your belief level. The rest is details, responsibly managed, of course. Ask any truly successful entrepreneur. They pursue their goals from a raised belief level, often against the collective minds of others. It is that kind of faith in themselves that creates their success. If they don’t succeed the first time, they keep at it until they make success their process.

You see, our belief level is a measure of our capacity to want more for our business and our life. And we cannot raise our belief level based on what we think we can get. It demands more of us. It demands that we grow beyond our fear of failure.

Knowing What You Really Want
Most people know deep inside what they really want, and it’s always more than who they are being right now. Yet fear of failure makes most people shove it under the rug and stick with the status quo. So the journey gets aborted before it begins.

Yet there exists inside each of us an innate desire to reach out for more joy, more abundance and more love. Ask your heart, “What do you want?”

With no want, you have no Vision. And as Tulshi Sen says, “A life without Vision is a blind life. A life without direction is an unloved life.” So let’s love ourselves and find out what we really want.

This question conjures up a whole new way of looking at entrepreneurship, doesn’t it?

It may inspire some of you to take a deep breath and then immediately get to work on making it happen, or re-doubling your current efforts to create the business of your dreams.

Others may ask, “What do I need to do to build up my power and ability to take the appropriate actions to make my desires come true.” For instance, you may re-focus on your vision and strategic plans (or create them if not yet done). You may look for weak areas to strengthen and make a checklist of what you need to prioritize or delegate.

Still others among you may be puzzled by the question, because you’re not focused on what you truly desire to bring forth. Instead, you’re busy creating what can put money in your pocket and food on the table. Maybe you are expressing your deepest desires in the form of a hobby, part-time or weekend activity.

And some of you just don’t believe you can create a successful business around what you truly love to do. Instead you work from a contingency plan mentality, preparing for worst case scenarios and rainy days.

Did You Choose Your Thoughts?
But whatever scenario describes your current thinking, there’s even a more fundamental aspect to consider. Who chose your predominant thoughts about your business? Did you? Or were these thoughts chosen for you? Did they come from your heart, or were you hedging your bets?

Don’t blame yourself, you’ve been conditioned from childhood. And, how can you be successful when you are surrounded by people who will pull you down or play devil’s advocate with your dreams? These people are most often not your enemies or competitors but those closest to you, friends and family.

Just about every entrepreneur has lived or currently lives under these restricting pressures. I call them the ‘doubt traps’. The trick is to look for the gems of truth and wisdom, while rejecting the fear-based advice.

Question is, can we think the thoughts WE want to think? And can we carry those thoughts and ideas through to a successful implementation? This means living our vision, without being bombarded or bamboozled by others who believe they have your best interests at heart.

What Is Your Belief Level?
When we can see no difference between our thoughts and the things we are creating, between our desires and the manifestation of our desires, then we have become successful entrepreneurs. In order to do that we need to raise our belief level so that we can even think the thoughts we want to think.

The mind must defer to heart consciousness to get its direction. And the heart thinks in pictures and symbols not mere words. This gives meaning, emotion and feelings to the thoughts. It makes them come alive in sights and sounds and adds the other senses for full expression and experience. Even the wise Solomon said, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Yantra Tools To Raise The Belief Level
Ancient masters like Pythagoras to modern psychologists like Carl Jung, understood the challenges of people sincerely wanting to change their lives for the better. So in deep contemplation and meditation they created inspired active graphical imagery called yantras to help their students and clients unlock old beliefs and unleash their power to vision and create from the deepest desires of their heart.

These Yantra tools for accessing inner wisdom and vision were used by kings, sages, business leaders and even the Founding Fathers of America. The concept has been around for 4500 years and used by leaders in battlefields and boardrooms. It is as relevant today as it was in ancient times.

Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World, has developed the Master Key For Success, the Sen Yantra System. It is an encapsulation of all the teachings of the Masters from all over the World and designed for the new challenges of the 21st century.

All the great leaders and motivators agree with this fundamental truth. “You Don’t Get What You Want, You Get What You Are”, says Tulshi Sen, in the Master Key For Success. James Allen, in As a Man Thinketh, says, “Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”

Who You Are
Les Brown, in his interview with Armand Morin, subscribes to this same bold truth, “You don’t get what you want in life, you get what you are.” He explained how his unusual early childhood molded his heart and mind for the motivational writing and speaking he does around the world today.

Labeled as a child with EMR (eligibly mentally retarded) he was teased at school as the ‘dumb twin’ of his family. Fortunately, Les had an extraordinary mother, Mamie Brown, who at the age of 42 adopted 8 children, including the twins Les and Wesley. She saw the greatness in each of her children.

Les was also inspired by motivational masters, at an early age, while helping to clean the home office at his mother’s work as a domestic. There he was first exposed to the works of Normal Vincent Peale and Napoleon Hill, two giants in the field of motivational self-development.

Dream Bigger
Les asks his students to consider three things when setting their goals and dreams: what do they want to accomplish on a personal level, on a earning level and on a contribution level. He says that most people fail not because they aim too high but because they aim too low and hit it.

Only 2% of people, who feel that hunger or urge to do something, actually go to seminars. He reminded us of the great American philosopher, Henry David Thoreau’ s words, “Do not go where the path may lead on. Instead go where there is no path and leave a trail”.

Les reminds us, “When you have a vision of yourself, beyond your circumstances and mental conditioning, that is a blessing and don’t lose it.” Surround yourself with like-minded people who will challenge you to be your best. Everyone has greatness within themselves, and some may already be feeling it in their heart.

Take Action
When you do step out to experience new things, show up in the spirit of expectation. You have it in you to do something you’ve never done before, to die to your old self and give birth to who you can become.

Les asked us to memorize the words ‘Recessions Restore Resourcefulness’ . And he reminded us that the people who are making it in this time of ‘accelerating change, overwhelming complexity and tremendous competition’ (Peter Drucker’s words) are people who are resourceful.

Les says that most people get stuck because they don’t know what they have going for themselves. They don’t know how to make money with their God-Given gifts. And, they don’t know how to gain access to the people who will pay them for what they know.

Overcome Self-Imposed Obstacles
Ironically, in Les Brown’s own personal journey, the hardest thing for him to learn was to believe in himself, believe he could do what his heart was aching to do. He was longing to go out there and change people’s lives by teaching them how to be unstoppable. Yet he found reasons for not taking action, and in those stressful moments he, himself, became stoppable.

Fortunately he was constantly reminded by his mentor for fourteen years straight and a teacher (in executive development at the time) to not allow where he was at that moment to define who he was. He needed to be a ‘no matter what’ person to develop himself to be the message that he wanted to bring into the world.

This advice reminded him of who he really was and his desire to do something bigger with his life. It was always in him to reach beyond his current situation. As a school boy, Les, the child from ‘Special Ed’ class, won the contest from Norman Vincent Peale, who read it in his now famous speech, ‘You Have Greatness In You’.

“Shoot for the moon because even if you fail, you’ll land among the stars”. That was Les Brown’s quote. Imagine that!
