Following on from Lewis's Ep38. Money Mindset for Fast Growth Business Owners, I have taken a deeper dive into the fundamentals of the mind. I think that it may be an advantage to listen to that one first if you have time.
Money is a very a real issue and blockage for so many, so I have dug down deep to help you understand the triggers and the fundamentals at play here.
I have to admit, that I started on a pathway and with notes on this one and as I do in my client...

According to the law of averages, the pathway is going to be a balance of 50/50 great and not so (insert your own words here)
A great day is not actually a great day, it is a great attitude to the experience, call or situation you find yourself in. Some people love chaos, they believe they thrive in it. So ask yourself the question here, do they create 'Chaos' in order to thrive and feel alive? probably yes!

Following on from Lewis' last episode, we decided to go a little deeper to understand why people don't take action.
The mind has 17 Fundamentals that are like rules or laws as to why we do what we do and think the way we do. These fundamentals are always operating at the deep unconscious level and can not be altered. One of which is #3 Fundamental, 'Everything we do is for a beneficial reason'. Based on that, we have to understand the reason many of us don't take action when we should..

Humans are not generic. Running a business is all about understanding the dynamic of teams and individuals within those teams. We can't assume that one method of doing something to grow our business is going to work with all our team.
