All Problems Are Opportunities To The Entrepreneur

Posted on February 7, 2010 by Aditi Walsh

I found this wonderful video snippet from professor Tina Seelig of Stanford University, from her presentation, The Art of Teaching Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

It shows the power of the imagination to turn problems into opportunities. In these experiments the starting points were extremely simple starting materials plus motivated students, unleashing their inner entrepreneur. It’s a fertile ground for creativity and innovation, no matter what problem is presented.

You can listen to the complete 52 minute talk called The Art of Teaching Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Tina Seelig is the author of the recent best selling book, What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20: A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the World. Written for newbies embarking on the entrepreneurial journey, business people at various levels of experience have found many useful ideas as well.

Entrepreneur, Are You Unleashing Your Power To Create What You Truly Desire?

Posted on September 11, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

This question conjures up a whole new way of looking at entrepreneurship, doesn’t it?

It may inspire some of you to take a deep breath and then immediately get to work on making it happen, or re-doubling your current efforts to create the business of your dreams.

Others may ask, “What do I need to do to build up my power and ability to take the appropriate actions to make my desires come true.” For instance, you may re-focus on your vision and strategic plans (or create them if not yet done). You may look for weak areas to strengthen and make a checklist of what you need to prioritize or delegate.

Still others among you may be puzzled by the question, because you’re not focused on what you truly desire to bring forth. Instead, you’re busy creating what can put money in your pocket and food on the table. Maybe you are expressing your deepest desires in the form of a hobby, part-time or weekend activity.

And some of you just don’t believe you can create a successful business around what you truly love to do. Instead you work from a contingency plan mentality, preparing for worst case scenarios and rainy days.

Did You Choose Your Thoughts?
But whatever scenario describes your current thinking, there’s even a more fundamental aspect to consider. Who chose your predominant thoughts about your business? Did you? Or were these thoughts chosen for you? Did they come from your heart, or were you hedging your bets?

Don’t blame yourself, you’ve been conditioned from childhood. And, how can you be successful when you are surrounded by people who will pull you down or play devil’s advocate with your dreams? These people are most often not your enemies or competitors but those closest to you, friends and family.

Just about every entrepreneur has lived or currently lives under these restricting pressures. I call them the ‘doubt traps’. The trick is to look for the gems of truth and wisdom, while rejecting the fear-based advice.

Question is, can we think the thoughts WE want to think? And can we carry those thoughts and ideas through to a successful implementation? This means living our vision, without being bombarded or bamboozled by others who believe they have your best interests at heart.

What Is Your Belief Level?
When we can see no difference between our thoughts and the things we are creating, between our desires and the manifestation of our desires, then we have become successful entrepreneurs. In order to do that we need to raise our belief level so that we can even think the thoughts we want to think.

The mind must defer to heart consciousness to get its direction. And the heart thinks in pictures and symbols not mere words. This gives meaning, emotion and feelings to the thoughts. It makes them come alive in sights and sounds and adds the other senses for full expression and experience. Even the wise Solomon said, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Yantra Tools To Raise The Belief Level
Ancient masters like Pythagoras to modern psychologists like Carl Jung, understood the challenges of people sincerely wanting to change their lives for the better. So in deep contemplation and meditation they created inspired active graphical imagery called yantras to help their students and clients unlock old beliefs and unleash their power to vision and create from the deepest desires of their heart.

These Yantra tools for accessing inner wisdom and vision were used by kings, sages, business leaders and even the Founding Fathers of America. The concept has been around for 4500 years and used by leaders in battlefields and boardrooms. It is as relevant today as it was in ancient times.

Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World, has developed the Master Key For Success, the Sen Yantra System. It is an encapsulation of all the teachings of the Masters from all over the World and designed for the new challenges of the 21st century.

Part 3 – Raise Your Belief Level to Raise Your Life.

Entrepreneur, You Don’t Get What You Want In Life, You Get What You Are

Posted on September 1, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

All the great leaders and motivators agree with this fundamental truth. “You Don’t Get What You Want, You Get What You Are”, says Tulshi Sen, in the Master Key For Success. James Allen, in As a Man Thinketh, says, “Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”

Who You Are
Les Brown, in his interview with Armand Morin, subscribes to this same bold truth, “You don’t get what you want in life, you get what you are.” He explained how his unusual early childhood molded his heart and mind for the motivational writing and speaking he does around the world today.

Labeled as a child with EMR (eligibly mentally retarded) he was teased at school as the ‘dumb twin’ of his family. Fortunately, Les had an extraordinary mother, Mamie Brown, who at the age of 42 adopted 8 children, including the twins Les and Wesley. She saw the greatness in each of her children.

Les was also inspired by motivational masters, at an early age, while helping to clean the home office at his mother’s work as a domestic. There he was first exposed to the works of Normal Vincent Peale and Napoleon Hill, two giants in the field of motivational self-development.

Dream Bigger
Les asks his students to consider three things when setting their goals and dreams: what do they want to accomplish on a personal level, on a earning level and on a contribution level. He says that most people fail not because they aim too high but because they aim too low and hit it.

Only 2% of people, who feel that hunger or urge to do something, actually go to seminars. He reminded us of the great American philosopher, Henry David Thoreau’ s words, “Do not go where the path may lead on. Instead go where there is no path and leave a trail”.

Les reminds us, “When you have a vision of yourself, beyond your circumstances and mental conditioning, that is a blessing and don’t lose it.” Surround yourself with like-minded people who will challenge you to be your best. Everyone has greatness within themselves, and some may already be feeling it in their heart.

Take Action
When you do step out to experience new things, show up in the spirit of expectation. You have it in you to do something you’ve never done before, to die to your old self and give birth to who you can become.

Les asked us to memorize the words ‘Recessions Restore Resourcefulness’ . And he reminded us that the people who are making it in this time of ‘accelerating change, overwhelming complexity and tremendous competition’ (Peter Drucker’s words) are people who are resourceful.

Les says that most people get stuck because they don’t know what they have going for themselves. They don’t know how to make money with their God-Given gifts. And, they don’t know how to gain access to the people who will pay them for what they know.

Overcome Self-Imposed Obstacles
Ironically, in Les Brown’s own personal journey, the hardest thing for him to learn was to believe in himself, believe he could do what his heart was aching to do. He was longing to go out there and change people’s lives by teaching them how to be unstoppable. Yet he found reasons for not taking action, and in those stressful moments he, himself, became stoppable.

Fortunately he was constantly reminded by his mentor for fourteen years straight and a teacher (in executive development at the time) to not allow where he was at that moment to define who he was. He needed to be a ‘no matter what’ person to develop himself to be the message that he wanted to bring into the world.

This advice reminded him of who he really was and his desire to do something bigger with his life. It was always in him to reach beyond his current situation. As a school boy, Les, the child from ‘Special Ed’ class, won the contest from Norman Vincent Peale, who read it in his now famous speech, ‘You Have Greatness In You’.

“Shoot for the moon because even if you fail, you’ll land among the stars”. That was Les Brown’s quote. Imagine that!

Entrepreneur, Do You Know Your Master Key for Success?

Posted on August 18, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Entrepreneurs today are inundated with claims by so many experts, each stating they have the key to your success. This has been especially endemic online. It could even be driving you crazy at times, eh?

What’s amazing is when we have discovered your real success is inner-generated and we are living from our own deepest desires, then you are able to experience challenges and opportunities in a completely different light.

Getting Stuck
Yet, there still may be those times when you just get stuck, even with the best of intentions. And you find it very hard to keep your focus on visioning and living in the success you so desire. You lose the feeling for it and get caught up in your old ideas and limitations. Success starts to slip away again, and stress quickly enters to fill the gap.

When you do pick yourself up, you wonder what all the fuss was about. Or you berate yourself for having fallen into those old mental pictures and ideas in the first place.

Does this sound familiar? The good news is you are not alone. As Tulshi Sen says, “Success cannot be bought or learnt… it must be practiced.

The Master Key
I found it really helps when I meditate on the success principles of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World to dissolve the old triggers. With practice, I am becoming better able to laugh it off, instead of using negative thinking to dissolve negative thinking. Two negatives do not make for a positive outlook, do they?

So how can you transcend the stressors of the day? Is there a ‘master key’ to free yourself from these de-energizers that are holding you back? If only you can remove your mind from sticking to your problems and instead free it to believe in the success you truly desire.

Tulshi Sen shares, “Before a person can achieve anything they must raise their thoughts and raise their belief level. You cannot fight against circumstances forever. It is tiring. You have to create new circumstances by raising your belief level.”

From personal experience I have found that is exactly true. It gets awfully tiring to continually swim upstream, against the current. Instead, by raising your thoughts and belief levels, you change the game and therefore enter a whole new level of consciousness. When this happens, success chases you down for a change. It all starts with your mindset.

Training The Mind
We have to convince our mind that we are going to be successful, no matter what our present circumstances are today. This journey of the entrepreneur is led by the heart, not the mind. The mind’s place is to follow the Vision set by the heart.

When we get it backwards, chaos, confusion and doubt take over. And there goes your success. Fear unleashed results in stressful, limited thinking.

And, you cannot convince the mind with the mind. That’s what caused this predicament in the first place. Nor can you trick the mind over the long term. You need to transcend the realm of the mind and enter your heart to anchor in your dreams and visions. Leave them there, where you can nurture them.

Imagination Rules
Einstein said that you can’t solve a problem at the same level of thinking as you created it in the first place. He also said that imagination was more important than knowledge.

Imagination lives in the all-knowing heart. So the first priority is to find out our heart’s desires. Then we can take our trained and helpful mind along on our unique entrepreneur’s journey.

Part 1 – You Cannot Raise Yourself Above Your Belief Level

Entrepreneur Mastery Through Tulshi Sen’s “Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World” – Part 2

Posted on July 26, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Everything we have or have not created for our business is fundamentally the result of our thinking. This includes our successes and failures. There are no exceptions.

Now that may be a hard truth to swallow, especially with today’s global economic forces and challenges. (In reality these dynamic forces, too, are the result of collective group thinking, but that’s the subject for another discussion).

Our thinking mindset brings us everything: the good, the bad and the ugly. But if that’s all there is to it, then you could say, “No problem, I’ll just focus on the good stuff, right?” Well, that depends on where you are placing your attention and how strong you are in your true being.

Relying On Circumstances
For instance, some of you may take the attitude of making do with what you already have. Or, you try to think of ways to get out of a certain situation you find yourself in by manipulating, trading off or economizing what you already have for what you think is necessary. Or, you may just resign yourself to making the best of a bad situation.

This type of thinking is constructive at best and lacks imagination. Tulshi Sen calls it ‘worm thinking’. It is thinking inside the box, where your circumstances dictate your thinking.

Einstein tells us that we cannot solve a problem at the same level that we created it. Solutions require that you step outside of your current situation to allow your imagination to bring you new ideas and approaches.

Lack Of Focus
This next type of thinking is endemic today, especially to information marketers. There’s so much to learn and absorb that it’s impossible to keep up with the flood of information and you suck in everything that comes at you. It become hard to differentiate the good stuff from the regurgitated mis-information, especially when you are a new online entrepreneur.

Your world becomes chaotic and you quickly lose focus. You get too busy and frantic to see what you originally desired to create for your business. You get caught up in the minutia and cannot see the forest for the trees. Stress sets in and you’ve lost the joy of entrepreneurship. This has been a too familiar scenario for me.

Tulshi Sen calls this ‘fly thinking’, where you flit from positive to negative and negative to positive and ultimately get nowhere. You go from one crisis to another and become exhausted and depleted.

Entrepreneur Mastery
The third type of thinking lifts you completely out of the first two ways of thinking and sets you on the path to complete mastery of your own thoughts. You powerfully focus solely on your Vision. You learn to quickly discern what belongs in your business or not, and you let go of everything else.

Tulshi Sen calls this ‘bee thinking’, where the bee thinks of nothing else but producing the honey. When you build your thought character like a bee, you become wealthy in the nectar of life.

Now the expression “busy like a bee” takes on a whole new meaning. You create your own abundance in the nectar of busy-ness (i.e. business). Life become blissful. And you enjoy its riches.

Tulshi Sen, a Master of success thinking and author of Ancient Secrets of Success For Today’s World, shows us how we can take control of our thinking. Through the Four Proclamations of your own truth, you’ll learn to think the thoughts you want to think, and not the thoughts you don’t want to think.

Entrepreneur Mastery Through Tulshi Sen’s “Ancient Secrets of Success For Today’s World”

Posted on June 30, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

What makes some people solution magnets while others struggle in their problems more often than not? Notice how some entrepreneurs take particular challenges in stride, while others tend to shut down and feed on their misery for a while.

Productivity Killers
Let’s take a familiar example. You run into a Technical glitch and just lose it in the moment. You feel stopped in your tracks as you are trying to accomplish a time-based goal. Maybe you are just feeling exhausted and secretly feel the need to rant about something.

Or maybe, you were triggered by an unfortunate external event that conjured up certain uncomfortable feelings inside that you were afraid to explore before. So you reacted unusually strongly to the issue. In today’s environment, there’s certainly no lack of rants to pick up on.

Have you noticed how people can get buried by their environment and get stuck into a certain kind of thinking groove? When that happens, they don’t easily tolerate suggestions from others. And they always seem to find something to be unhappy about. Bad news becomes a feeding frenzy and they get caught up in its perpetual spin.

Does This Sound Familiar?
For instance, you may recall how you allowed a feeling of disgust percolate inside you about something you heard about in the news. And you became glued to the 24/7 broadcasts, even though you knew it would upset your well-being. When challenged about this insidious kind of addictive behavior, maybe you got defensive about justifying yourself, or became overly aggressive with the person who noticed.

I’ve observed that even reasonable people, myself included, find themselves in these kinds of conundrums from time to time. And we may fret over trying to avoid a certain situation or decide to fight through it. Either way we get completely bound to it, and the negative mindset seals us helplessly and deeply inside of our own mind.

Most importantly, this kind of reaction is not healthy or productive in any way for the success seeking entrepreneur. And, especially for those pesky technical problems, the solutions are most often simple and self-evident, once realized (although it’s hard to believe this when you are stuck in the middle of it). Once you know better, you can laugh off the insanity of the drama you just put yourself through. Sound familiar?

How To Control Your Own Mind
But how do you prevent the next scene from playing out and destroying your productivity once again? To do this we need to learn how to master our thinking. Stopping unwanted thoughts from entering our mind is the key to success in business and in life. This is true regardless of the particular business path we take, or the consulting help we may seek.

Nobody else can do this fundamental work for us. We need to dive in and do the deep contemplative work of mastering our own mind. The true entrepreneur conquers his environment by taking this quest deep within his own being.

Enjoy this brief Audiocast on “How To Stop Unwanted Thoughts - Part 1″ from Tulshi Sen. The brilliant metaphors alone are unforgettable!

Do You Want The Secret Behind All Secrets?

Posted on February 6, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Do You Want The Secret Behind All Secrets? Knowing the Law behind leading a successful life does not automatically enable you to actually create a successful life or business. And yet, we know our thoughts create our reality. Even the scientists have told us that.

What eludes most people is the lack of ability to master their thoughts to create the reality they truly want. Their desires often get diluted by resistances in the environment, which tend to compound any inner doubts and anxieties.

The Wish Fulfilling Tree
That’s because we’re all sitting under the Wish Fulfilling Tree. Some people call it the Law of Attraction. This Tree does not discriminate or judge our wishes. It fulfills them instantaneously and completely.

Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets of Success for Today’s World, talks about how we can train the mind to obey our deepest desires.And we can’t convince our minds intellectually or try to numb it. This training has to penetrate the mind and resonate deep within the heart of our Consciousness.

Remove Stumbling Block to Entrepreneurial Success

Posted on January 30, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

stumble Modern history is filled with stories of impossible dreams being fulfilled. Entrepreneurs overcome insurmountable odds to accomplish their dreams. They tap into a deep well of inner strength, courage and self-confidence. And some have even shared their success pathways, wanting to help others reach or even surpass the level they themselves enjoy. Many students, however, have been unable to achieve similar success, even when properly motivated. Why is that?

The solution lies at a much deeper level than just applying the strategies, tactics or even the attitudes of the successful ones, although it’s a good thing to do as well. Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets of Success for Today’s World gets to the heart of the entrepreneur’s biggest stumbling block, in his (two part) interview with Fanny Kiefer of Shaw TV.
