Seinfeld “The Opposite”
Now, why is that? Perhaps it’s time to do the opposite. In a famous episode of Seinfeld, George Costanza was a perennial loser who one day decided to do the opposite of what he would normally do in every facet of his life. Result? Success!
Contrarian Investing
Another example is contrarian investing – that is, going against conventional wisdom to buy when others are selling. And selling when everyone else is buying which has been known to build fortunes. And this holds true not only in investments but also in real estate.
Another example of the opposite working: Over and over we’ve been told to do affirmations to improve our outlook and our outcome. Result? If we do them a million, billion, gazillion times, they absolutely do work. But who wants to repeat the same phrases over and over 50 times a day? Not me.
Make It A Positive Question!
Now I hear that if we simply rephrase our affirmation as a question, we only need to say it a few times here and there for it to work. So instead of saying, “I’m a success. I’m a success. I’m a SUCCESS!” we now ask ourselves, “Why am I so successful?” “Why am I so prosperous?”
Go ahead and try it and you will see that it feels different than simply telling yourself you’re a success. Powerful, isn’t it? “Why am I so successful?” That’s because by asking the question, you are telling yourself to find all the reasons why you are successful. In other words, rather than you just hearing words over and over, you are now actively participating in the process. You are also putting your subconscious mind to work helping you find the answers. What a difference!
Stay Tuned For Tomorrow
I was going to write an article tomorrow on how to be successful, but I think I’ll scratch that. Instead, I’m going to write about how NOT to be successful, and we’ll see what happens. My tongue is firmly planted in my cheek as I write this, so let’s have some fun!
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s installment where I share with you “9 Ways to Be Certain You’ll Fail in Internet Marketing”… Be sure NOT to come back tomorrow to check it out, ok! 😉
