What Your New Business Will Never Tell You: THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS!

In your internet home based business, the last thing you need is for your computer to break down. The first thing between you and your computer is your mouse. When your mouse malfunctions or, “has had the biscuit”, it will seem like your computer has broken down. By learning the 2 Step “Check and Compare” method to tell if you are looking at a costly computer repair bill, or if it’s just your mouse that is in trouble, will save you priceless hours of frustration and a little, or a lot of money.

Computer repair businesses are just like auto/truck repair shops in a way: there are good ones and bad ones. The bad ones are not only incompetent, they are usually dishonest. They will always tell you to bring it in for a costly repair, when, if they were honest and good, would tell you, if they could, how to quickly fix your problem over the phone instead! In this article, we’re going to focus on your mouse, and teach you how do diagnose your mouse trouble so you won’t just blindly take to whole computer in for a repair and open yourself up to needless expensive repairs when a free adjustment or a cheap fix, is all you need to correct your mouse.

Yesterday was my last day of suffering for over a month with a sick mouse. That was because I finally learned 2 steps I needed to do to determine whether I had a major computer problem or just a sick mouse: “Check for Interference”, and “Compare test”. But let me tell you what happened to lead me to salvation!

A little over a month ago I started to feel like I was “losing it” whenever I was working on my computer because my cursor arrow vibrated insanely whenever I was using my mouse to get it to point to something. I thought it was just time for new batteries. I don’t know if anyone still uses the old school “ball” mice, but if you are, then is article isn’t for you. I’m talking about the “3-D Optic” mice most people use today. Instead of a ball underneath, an optic mouse has a red light. It can be cordless, battery-operated with USB Optic Stick, or connect to your computer with a cord and USB plug.

So I replaced the batteries, and the mouse was still sick. In fact, it was going crazy! At first I thought it was me having a slow-burn nervous breakdown! I had lost most of my control over operating the mouse. Was I now in Parkinson’s City?

Every time I tried pointing to something, the arrow vibrated wildly, and I suffered with this thinking at first, I was beginning to show the symptoms of some kind of neurological aging disease! It was taking me hours to do what should have only taken a few minutes. Then one day, on top of my vibrating problems, I developed a new one: my side scrolling bar started to slip! That’s when I realized I wasn’t losing it, but my computer was breaking down. Now, not only could I no longer use the scrolling wheel in the middle of the mouse top, but whenever I adjusted the side scrolling bar, it would not stay put, but would float up and down, and the page I was looking at on my screen would go with it!

So the good news was, I wasn’t going bonkers, but the bad news was, it looked like my computer was instead!

And when your computer goes bonkers, you’re usually looking at BIG money to repair it, and get it sane again.

Luckily I have a computer store and repair business I can trust. Even though I live in a little farm town outside of Russell, Manitoba in the middle of what, to the high-tech world, would seem like the middle of nowhere, there is a new business oasis called, “Parkland Computers”, that has cutting edge computer technicians who are not only geniuses, they’re honest too! I knew I was going to get the straight goods on what my problem was. So I called them up after suffering with this insane condition for two more weeks, and got Shane on the line.

I told him my problem and he said, “Don’t worry, it’s probably not your computer, and just your mouse.”

Step#1: Check for Interference

“See if you recently added some kind of interference between your battery mouse and the Optic Stick that plugs into your computer”, Shane said. He advised that the interference could be something physical in the way, or a new device I added in the same room as my computer which had radio or microwaves that could be scrambling the messages the mouse is sending to the optic stick and through to my computer. I checked and told Shane I had no interference problems and he guided me to the next thing I could do to tell whether it was my computer or my mouse and would also tell me if I needed to replace the mouse!

Step#2: Compare and Test

“If you have a regular plug-in optic mouse with a cord, unplug the optic stick from your computer that relays instructions into your computer from your battery operated mouse and key board, and plug in your regular mouse and try it.” I tried it with my extra lap top mouse, and told Shane it worked perfectly! Shane replied that, “Now you know it’s not your computer, and now you just need to replace the mouse.”

I decided to put my malfunctioning battery mouse/keyboard set away in case it was still good, and there was just some crazy interference I could not account for and replaced it with a new regular 3-D Optic Plug-in mouse/key board set. It not only worked perfectly, it felt like a super-powered extension of my mind! All for just $30 bucks and taxes, instead of a needless $big buck$ repair bill!

So don’t go crazy the next time your mouse does, just use the 2 Step “Check and Compare” method to diagnose your problem.

You’ll keep your cool, save money, and most important, your priceless time!

Another ORIGINAL, UN-SPUN article from, Michael Woron.

In your on-line home based business, the last thing you need is for your computer to break down. Save a possible trip to your friendly neighborhood computer service technician and learn how to tell if your computer has broken down, or has just frozen. This article will show you how to spot a frozen computer, and how to thaw it out in two easy steps!

You may not believe me, but I have been using a PC for a long time, and never experienced a freeze up before. Not until yesterday. I was working at home in the afternoon on my home-based business. If this had of happened at night, I would not have been able to use my computer until the next day. Thanks to my good friends at Parkland Computers, I was able to call them and tell them my problem and they solved it instantly. This time I had been talking with Shane and he fixed me up better than brand new!

Here’s what happened: With my morning coffee I went to a project I was working on with newsletters, and started an instructional video I needed to see and hear, clicked to start it, and noticed it had no sound!

What?

Right away I went into panic mode and had to do some deep breathing to chill out. After I had calmed down, I checked other videos from different sources, and while everything I started was playing, there was still no sound.

I stood up and checked my speaker connections, and double checked them, confirming they were correct.

I knew my speakers were working correctly when I un-plugged the main jack into my sound card and heard the feed-back coming through my speakers.

I plugged the jack back in and sat down, stupefied. Had I blown my sound card?

Grabbing my mouse I was intending to point it on an icon, when suddenly my mouse didn’t work!

Not only did I not have sound, my mouse had died! But I had just replaced the batteries a couple of days ago.

What was going on?

I was effectively shut down, as I had no idea what I had done to break my sound card and my mouse!

I told you at the beginning of this article, that I have been working with computers for over 20 years. First, in my profession as a teacher, and now, in my new home-based business project. Never had this happened to me before, and I was so perplexed, that I called up Parkland Computers and got Shane on the line.

When I told him my problem, he told me right away that my computer had, “frozen”, and that it was no big deal.

Shane went on to explain that when a computer suddenly loses functions, it is probably not “broken”, just “frozen”. A computer freezes, Shane said, when, for whatever reason, a computer stops working, specifically in one or more functions, and it has been temporarily over-loaded.

It’s like it gets mixed up and cannot read the instructions your are giving it.

Instead of turning off, or doing some other wonky thing, it appears to run until you tell it to do something and it gets an “anxiety attack” and freezes!

These are the two main signs he said–your mouse stopping, and your sound going silent, that tell you your computer has frozen: You didn’t break your computer you just over-loaded it, and it “seized”.

Here’s how Shane told me how to fix it:

Step #1: Push the “ON” button in, and hold it for a few seconds. This makes the computer shut down.

Step#2: Push the “ON” button and start up your computer. The start-up process automatically un-freezes your frozen computer.

I tried this, and right away my computer was up, and running!

I went back to the root of what may have caused my over-loading problem and removed a useless program and stored some massive files lying around on my hard drive onto CD’s, and then deleted them off my hard drive. This greatly reduced the drag or pressure on my computer to think straight, and I could see right away how effortlessly my computer was running after that.

This is a pro-active measure you can take to prevent your computer from freezing again.

If you already know this, take this as a confirmation that what you know is true! But if you are like me, you may not yet have ever frozen your computer. So I hope this helps you understanding how to spot your computer when it does freeze, and the two easy steps to un-freezing it!

In any business, profit is the desired outcome. But if you are new to business, or starting a new business with previous business experience, your profit margin will narrow to zero if you can’t stick to your business decisions. Follow these 3 Steps in, “The Story Of The Kitchen Sink”, to acquire the skill of sticking to your business decisions and make a profit!

You would never guess that a kitchen sink could teach me how to stick to my business decisions and make a profit.  To be clear, it wasn’t just a kitchen sink alone that lead me to this learning process, but the whole experience of buying a new sink and having it installed by a certified plumber. Notice I said, “certified” and not, “good”.

I bought a new kitchen sink from a brand name building supply company and hired a plumber to install it. After he had left and I filled up my new sink to wash my first load of dishes in it, I noticed the water level had dropped. You wouldn’t want to feel my shock and imagine the angry words that came out of my mouth! I couldn’t believe that I had spent $300.00 on a brand new sink that couldn’t hold water!

I got on the phone to my plumber and said, “My new sink is leaking.” My plumber said, “Sinks weren’t made to completely hold water.” I said, “Not where I come from.” My plumber began to babble about the sink: it was a tight fit to put in, and did I crank the knobs on the plugs, and, where is the water leaking to? I told him at first it was leaking out the bowls where the plug fits in. But I tightened the bowls and they dried out on the outside. The water in the sink was still leaking down the drain, so that meant, I told him, that the plugs are not working. He told me to tighten the knobs. I did, and the water kept leaking. My plumber said he couldn’t help because it sounded like I had a faulty sink and that I’d have to take it up with the manufacturer. I phoned the store I bought the sink from and asked for a refund or exchange and they said no. “We can’t afford to do that. We’re not a big box hardware store, so you’ll have to take it up with the company who made the sink.” I thought I was sunk!

“Well can’t you tell me how to fix it–surely you must have had this problem before?”

“Not really, so we can’t advise you, and if your plumber can’t fix it, then we sure can’t either.”

Sunk to the bottom!

I was faced with making a decision: either I hire a new plumber to take the sink out and put a new one in, or stick to my original decision to buy this brand of sink, and suffer with it until I found someone who could fix it right. I suspected that if my plumber couldn’t even tighten the bowls properly, then he did something else wrong too. Obliviously the money to follow my first choice was going to be a lot higher over my original cost, then my second choice, but if the sink was toast, and the company wasn’t going to honor its guarantee, that’s the only thing I could do to get a sink that worked right. Then again, there was the third choice of not doing anything and living with a leaky sink. But that choice would cost me extra as well, in water and electric bills.

When I think back, I thought through 3 steps to come to the right decision and stick to it.

STEP#1: ANALYZE YOUR ORIGINAL DECISION

I decided to stick to my original decision. To do this with confidence, I had to think back on why I bought the sink in the first place. It was a top quality brand name kitchen sink. It was in perfect new condition. Therefore, based on these obvious facts, I decided to keep the sink as a sound purchase. In addition, my observations that the plumber who installed it, didn’t seem to know what he was doing, as I had found two of his mistakes and corrected them myself. Based on these observations, I decided that it wasn’t my sink that was faulty, it was the plumber who had installed it. I concluded that if it was my plumber who had installed my new stainless steel double sink with two mistakes, there could be more. I would find a “good” plumber to find and fix the problem.

STEP#2: WAIT TO VERIFY

The next step I found myself taking, was simply to wait. But I wasn’t inactive while I was waiting. I took action to verify my plan/decision by searching for new plumbers, and being patient until I found one.

STEP#3: VERIFY

The final third step I took was to verify that I had been right. To verify this time, was a joyous experience. I verified that my decision was correct and profitable, when I found a good plumber, who fixed my sink in two minutes at no cost to me!

So this is how the story of kitchen sink ends: Before I had found my plumber, I had gone through every plumber in the area. They were all too busy to help me, and while I continued to wait, and thought desperately, “where am I going to find a new plumber?” Just about that time, I developed a whole new plumbing problem that needed urgent attention. This jolted my mind to think outside my area, and find a town just outside my area, that had a plumber who was willing to drive outside his area. Desperation drove me to quickly find one, and he came right over, and fixed my new urgent problem, in minutes.

This so impressed me, that I thought this was the man who might fix my sink problem, and I told him about my kitchen sink. The look on his face was priceless, as he said, “Ridiculous! Sinks don’t leak if they’re new.” He even showed me what to do. He took out a big heavy-duty screwdriver with a big flat-head blade and showed me. “This is what’s probably lose.” He put the blade of the screwdriver in a notch the size of a giant screw head that was right in the center of the drain basket where the plug sat in.

And gave it a crank.

“See! And the other side’s even looser!”

And cranked again on the other sink basket.

I could even see the blade turning the center!

“When you fill these for your next batch of dishes, they won’t be leaky anymore.”

Having avoided a deficit in additional costs and expenses was just like making a profit! Had I not stuck to my original decision, I would never have learned the 3 step process to sticking to a sound decision every time! Apply this simple 3 step process whenever you have made a business decision to see if it’s worth sticking to. Once you know you’ve made a business decision with confidence, stick to it, and you will never to spend extra time and money, coming up with a new one. By saving money and not going back on my decision was like making a profit in a way!

Now let’s translate our kitchen sink true story, into a hypothetical story about a business machine we decide to buy for our new business.

We have decided to buy it, because after the research we have done on this machine, we know it will double our profit in the very first product it makes for us and we sell. It may not have a guaranteed sales record, but we will depend on our own proven marketing strategies.

Our first profit will more than pay for our new machine.

On top of these two important facts, we have confidence in the reliability of our new machine because it is built by a major respected manufacturer who is unsurpassed in quality products with the best reputation in the industry for honoring their service guarantee.

But after a month, and producing dozens of our product, not one has sold! Our business partners are getting antsy that maybe we made a bad decision and by producing dozens of our new product without one selling, we’re going into the red!

We could stick to our decision and trust that soon, after our dynamite marketing for this product lets people know the real value of our product, it will start to sell and get us out of the red and into the black.

Or, we could dump our decision, stop producing our new product until we “invest” in another similar machine from a different company with the same great reputation and a guaranteed sales record. This second decision will double our risk because we will have to spend even more money before we see a profit–if in fact we make one at all.

What do we do?

We think through the 3 Steps: ANALYZE, WAIT, VERIFY…

and decide to stick to our original decision.

Our marketing campaign kicks in, as people start to become aware of our amazing new product and the incredible things it can do for them. They start to buy. The buying rate turns into a feeding frenzy, and we can barely keep up with demand for a while!

In both stories, learning how to stick to our decisions took us out of the red and into the black. We also learned how to fix a specific sink problem that not even distributors or some plumbers know how to do, as a bonus! So stick to your sound business decision, and with each one, you will continue to move forward in your business and make a profit!

Get organized to become organized! Learn how the simple process of organizing your new enterprise will turn you into a success powerhouse.

Walk into any successful business and you will see organization. Everything has its proper place, things are neat and tidy and the business owner knows where everything they need is, and how and when to use it.  This is not a coincidence. Instead, it is the intended result of the owner’s plan to be successful. The successful owner knows two simple decisions on their part, at the beginning of their new business enterprise, will dynamically affect the end product of their efforts in a positive monetary way. You are about to learn what these first two simple decisions are, and how to put them into action.

The first decision you are going to make is to set up an office space that is clean and free of any outside distractions. In that office space you decide that you will provide yourself with a comfortable office chair, and the necessary tables and desks that will support the necessary tools of a high-functioning office: a telephone, computer, printer, fax and camera/camcorder.  Your tools and where you decide to place them, will become high-output work stations. These tools will be placed to allow for you to work comfortably, with adequate space to operate them for maximum efficiency.  You should be able to sit down, get up, and move around without bumping into things unnecessarily while you go directly from one work station to another. To give yourself a psychological edge, you make sure your office is well ventilated with a window to bathe you in the power of natural, indirect sunlight.

Your second major decision is to provide a specific place for all of the smaller tools of your trade. You make sure you have a clear, logical filing system to store, and easily access your hard-copy documents. A simple empty paper box, from your friendly neighborhood office supply store, big enough to hold file folders standing up, can be your filing cabinet if you’re on a shoe-string budget. All you want is a specific place where every document you produce or receive is filed and labeled for lightening access.  You even make the walls work for you, when you mount selves, bulletin/white boards, and post-it boards in clear view that you can see easily and use, from any position in your office. When it comes to the smallest tools of your trade–but no less important, like pens, pencils, erasers, whiteout, scissors, staples, staplers, and paperclips, you give them a home. Colorful baskets, cups and trays organized in strategic locations make perfect homes for these crucial instruments that you come to remember and can grasp when you need them, without looking. You always return them when you are done.

So as you can see, learning to become organized and being organized is not a difficult thing. Just a, “one-two punch” on your part, and then a routine of action, will make every action count. Get started on the right foot.  Your office will become the true brain center of your business that it is meant to be. Use it like an athlete, automatically, without thinking, so you can focus your thinking power on making money!

Optimum planning results in optimum performance. This way, you turn your whole mind to any project at hand to produce your desired outcome successfully, with quality and integrity.

As a person who works from home, your computer and your high-speed connection are the core and foundation of your livelihood. The last thing you need is a virus infecting your computer and killing your business for a few days while you take your computer in to get it cleaned by your friendly neighborhood computer repair specialist. You probably already have at least one popular computer security system installed and running, but you know that no security system is 100% infallible. You probably even have been infected already and know the trouble this causes. Capable of everything from freezing your computer to stealing your personal info, viruses are a threat to everyone who earns a living using their computers. I am happy to say, you don’t have to live with this fear any longer. You can learn right now to prevent a lurking virus that is waiting to trick you into letting it into your system.

Most people don’t know that it is they themselves, who allow a virus to infect their system. We tend to think of viruses as something installed by a hacker into say, a popular work of art on Google Images. Virtually all good security systems can warn you of these, when you click on them or even before. Presently however, we are seeing new advanced computer viruses that are well enough disguised as legitimate software that you probably have, asking you to update them.

You can spot fake software asking you to update or up-grade it by simply noticing on your screen where and when it appears before you, while you are on the internet. Real up-grades from Firefox for example, will appear after you’ve turned on your computer, jumped on to the internet, and will take up the whole screen. If you are already on the net, the real Firefox (and most other legitimate software you are using) will appear on the bottom left hand part of your screen with its certified symbol that you instantly recognize. Fake updates, as deadly disguised viruses, pop up while you are on the net in the middle, or upper right hand corner of your screen. Viruses are created to copy any real software you may be using not just as updates. Get acquainted where the up-dates and up-grades appear on your screen from your real software. This way you will be able to spot a virus when it appears in the form of an up-date or up-grade in a spot on your screen where and when the one it is mimicking doesn’t usually occur.

How I learned this skill came from my latest “brush with temporary internet death”. The virus came in the form of an anti-spyware called, “E-” something. I’m still too traumatized to remember the whole name! It even came with a symbol like the Microsoft symbol. But, “the devil is in the details”, and when I looked more closely later, the four colors in that fake symbol were reversed compared to the way they are in the real Microsoft symbol. I didn’t notice this at first, so when I clicked on it, WHAM! I was instantly in Virus Land! My internet was frozen and I knew I was toast, as pop ups kept popping up telling me I was infected and to up-grade now! So like the dummy I often am, I clicked to up-grade, thinking that if I just bought it, I could get it to go away and get my money back later on its guarantee. I filled out the form and gave it my credit card number. But it did not go away. My computer was still frozen and I kept getting these pop-up windows to “act now!” That’s when I knew I was really toast! I could not believe I had been so stupid! I phoned my credit card company and they cancelled my card, checked, and told me it hadn’t been used after my last purchase.

So I was safe there. But my internet was still frozen. I made plans to get my computer cleaned. During the time of a few days while it was being fixed, I’d have to live without it, and the money it would make me! While still staring at my screen in disbelief, I found out that while the virus had frozen my internet, I could still use my computer off-line. So I got back to work doing some organization duties I needed to catch up on. As long as I continued to cancel the stupid pop-ups that kept popping up, I was ok.

I don’t know if it was the “work-out” I gave the virus by continually cancelling it as it popped up, but my FREE service, Microsoft Security Essentials, finally recognized it, grabbed it, and neutralized it. Then it warned me with its trusty little window in the bottom right hand corner of my screen. All I had to do from that point was close all my windows and re-start my computer, and the nasty virus was dead, and out of my system!

So don’t let an awful experience like this happen to you. Learn where and when your real software will send you up-dates or up-grades. When a window suddenly pops up where and when it shouldn’t, you know you have spotted a virus. Don’t try to get rid of it by clicking anywhere on the window. Instead, activate your Microsoft Security Essentials appearing on your bottom bar on the right side, to scan your computer. “Essentials” is free, so go to Google, find and install it now if you don’t have it. When you have spotted the next virus snooping around on your PC, click on your Microsoft Security Essentials icon and it will direct you to successfully catch what your other security software missed, and save you a world of headaches and time!

Have you ever been driven crazy by trying to watch an internet video that’s choppy and takes forever to play? This article will show you how to fix those choppy videos so that you can watch them smoothly without pulling your hair out!

If you’re an MLM’er like me and you are always listening to training videos in you’re down time when you’re not prospecting, the last thing you need to do is waste time. Now I’m not talking about pre-recorded tapes or CD’s, because they work properly and don’t waste your time. I’m talking about the “video’s” you want to listen to from your favorite successful MLM trainers on their blogs on the internet. The first thing I asked myself, was, “If these guys are so hot shot sellers, why can’t they all make a decent video for the internet?” I still haven’t got the answer to this, but I suspect they really don’t care. I suspect this, because not all trainers’ videos on the internet are choppy.

The first thing I did, to try and solve this problem, was call my internet provider and computer specialist because I thought the problem was me–my equipment that is. When I had them check, we found out that my high speed was working right and so was my computer with all its Flash Players and stuff.  They just told me when I start trying to watch an internet video and its choppy, it’s not me, it’s just cheap. So I’d have to make a decision: either stop watching it, or put up with it. Ironically though, it was the very interesting videos with the most important info I needed to learn and apply, that were the most cheaply made! So because I wasn’t about to put up with garbage production values to glean the valuable info, here’s what I discovered:

When the video you’re watching and listening to on the internet is so choppy, that  the speaker can’t go without one word before the video freezes for several seconds, just put it on pause and do something else! That’s it! Whatever you do while you wait, is up to you, but that’s how you can listen to a choppy video smoothly, without it driving you over the edge in frustration! Now I know why so many internet marketers and MLM “newbies” go bald right after they start out: they haven’t gone bald “naturally”, they’ve pulled their own hair out while going crazy trying to watch videos that don’t work right!

So when you find an internet video that’s too choppy to watch, just put it on pause and, do something else for a while and then go back to it. When you press “play” you’ll find that the video has had enough time to load and catch up with itself, and it will play smoothly for you right through to the end! That’s how I wrote this article!

If you would like more information on overcoming any type of learning curve, check out my special tool box page coming soon!

This post is going to show you exactly HOW to turn any learning curve into a manageable step by step process. Once you see how to manage each step along a series of easy steps you have turned a learning curve into, you can overcome it with success!

So what do you do to overcome steep learning curves and reach the top? You do this by stretching time. I’ll show you how to stretch time by comparing two graphs that show the same learning curve. Set them up in your mind’s eye. Or make a comparison one on paper yourself: one graph is for the expected learning time for outcome accomplished at 1 month. Then make a second graph with all the same info, only increase the time for each step by 5.  Notice that the only difference between the two is the one that is stretched has more time, thus making each step that once looked steep look easy. So let’s get into the Zen of learning! In this short space you are going to learn how to learn…anything!

Any network marketing company worth its salt, is going to have an excellent step by step learning process, complete with training and assistance. The trouble is, many people look at these steps as impossible. It is simply human nature to assume that something that is complicated, is going to be too difficult to learn.  So new people decide to give up before even trying! When you are faced with learning the first step, and it seems too complicated, don’t give up. Instead, break it down into smaller steps, and give yourself more time.  Remember, no one is rushing you to learn but you, so stop trying to learn as fast as you think you should, and start learning as fast as you can.

To stretch one step that seems big at first, all you need to do is break it down into smaller steps. You reduce the steepness of your learning curve.  Anyone can do this by engaging what it is they have to learn at the start. Haven’t you ever looked at something that seems complicated at first, and just because you don’t instantly understand it say, “Where do I start?” Then you see the answer: start at the beginning! At the very beginning you will know what it is you are trying to learn. From this starting point of knowing what your goal is, let your mind proceed naturally, gathering the information you know, linking the first thing you know with the next. As soon as you reach something you don’t know and understand, you are going to have to stop. This point becomes your next small step. You figure out how to understand it. That is how you create a small step and stretch time. You are never in a rush. You take a deep breathe. You ask yourself, “What do I need to understand this?” As soon as you focus your mind at creating this question, you direct it to the answer. Suppose you stop in understanding because the next sentence you see is changed from English to Chinese, but you only know English. Your mind will instantly show you that the next thing you need to do is decipher Chinese. Once you get over the, “Fuck! I’ll never learn Chinese!”, and calm down, your mind will naturally shift to, “logical mode”. Now that you are nice and relaxed, your mind presents you with different strategies to accomplish this next “impossible step”:

* I can ask my Chinese friend to help me and tell me what this means

*I can learn Chinese at a school or through a course

* I can use my computer translator…

You chose the quickest, most effective strategy and try it. If it works, go on to the next thing, if it doesn’t, you try another strategy until it does.

Thinking this way, you change your whole mind set from, “I can’t” to “I CAN!” When you anticipate success, you achieve success! If you are climbing a mountain, and you get to a wall face that looks impossible because its going straight up, you turn it into a ladder! You hammer in hooks and foot holds and climb right to the top!
