One of the biggest killers to your business is negative thoughts,Monitoring Negative Thoughts Articles such as “I will never be able to make it in the business world?” or “I can not stand this client!” How do you monitor these thoughts? To practice paying attention to them is the first step. As you become aware of them, counter them, immediately. I have friends who say to themselves, "cancel" when these thoughts come up. For myself, I used to imagine a large, old-fashioned rubber stamp. I would see that stamp coming down on the offending thought and marking it in red, "Bull". This effectively signaled my mind that this thought was not to be trusted. At first, this has to happen so often that it becomes tedious. Persist through it though, and you'll find yourself with a second wind and having to do it far less.
