Perspective is a large hurdle to get over when we try and go out and create a business in the marketplace. We often get locked into being the person that we think we should be or that someone else thinks we should be. I have been asked a fair amount of times how to change your mindset. The greatest tool that I have run accross in the past couple of years is a concept called a “Power Hour”.
Two of my business partners created a structure called the “Producer Power Hour” (www.producerpowerhour.com). A brief description of the “Power Hour” is spending 1 hour a day before you do anything else to focus on 3 areas; Mind, Body and Spirit. There are a number of winning activities that can be done in each category. I will outline them briefly.
In the mental realm activites can include: reading in areas that create an opportunity to learn. Harry Potter is out during this time. Listening to audio books on your Ipod. Creating a goal structure for yourself. Reflecting on past activity and measuring how you have been doing.
In the spiritual realm: Reading books dealing with spirituality. Giving gratitude. Reading a reality statement for yourself. Prayer.
In the Physical realm: Working out. Planning your diet. Participate in activities that you like doing.
What’s the purpose for doing this? When we take the time to make ourselves better, we can’t help but be better people for others as a result. The Power Hour creates the plane for that possibility.
No Harry Potter? Fine. *pulls out Twilight* đŸ˜‰
