All Problems Are Opportunities To The Entrepreneur

by Aditi Walsh

Tina SeeligI 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, Do You Believe You Will Have Whatever You Vision?

by Aditi Walsh

Living In The VisionThe successful ones carry their vision with them everywhere and at all times. Their vision has become a part of them. Great leaders made huge sacrifices to get to this level of success. They now embody their vision. Albeit, some do wear a few battle scars, as badges of honor, marking the challenges they faced and conquered along the way.

These entrepreneurs will tell you it was worth every pain and opposition, because it pushed them forward in the direction of their dreams. Problems became stepping stones to discover their true expression in a particular product, service or purpose, as the case may be.

Question is, are you fired up about your vision? Do you feel it in your bones? And, are you able to sustain your vision?

Are You Stuck?
Most people get tangled up at this stage. Many entrepreneurs do manage to set their vision and goals. Then almost immediately, powerful opposing forces set in to test them or slowly tear away at those dreams. It may take the form of well-meaning friends and family or the current economic environment. Even more dangerously, their own doubts and fears take over.

We need to continually ask ourselves, what are we visioning? If we find ourselves picturing that we can’t have our beloved vision for whatever reason, then we’ve lost our belief, haven’t we?

So how can we continually believe we will have whatever we vision?

All the masters and teachers of all ages say the same thing: that whatever you can vision and believe in, you will have.

Secret Of Success
The real secret is to raise our belief level to desire what we could only fantasize before …and previously hold as a vision for only a few seconds or two. We are, in effect, training ourselves to become more resilient. And when we become more resilient, we don’t need the level of security we thought we would. We are ready to step out there, beyond the fears that used to hold us back, and make our mark in the world.

Raising our belief level increases our happiness quotient, our self-love and resilience. What has love got to do with it, you may ask? Everything actually!

Low self-love breeds low self-esteem and we become afraid. As Tulshi Sen says, “You don’t get what you want, you get what you are.” Are we afraid that we are not good enough? Can we let ourselves imagine what our heart is longing to express and contribute in our world? Will we allow ourselves to experience the romance of self and extend that to our business and our life?

Our intention, to be all we can be, comes out of our consciousness and is the fire of our desires. It sparks our imagination to create the visions we want to manifest.

Imagination Is Your True Power

Now, our belief level reflects our capacity to imagine. It can either enhance the process or shut it down. When we feel romance, we lose all fear and believe we can be, do and have our heart’s desires. We create new visions out of our active imagery that has been unleashed. Our imagination is our true power, our only power. Even Einstein said that imagination is greater than knowledge.

For most people, the imagination has been locked up in a padlock and needs a Master Key to open it up again, and to keep you on track. The great philosophers and leaders throughout the ages successfully utilized graphical active imagery to keep their imaginations and resourcefulness intact during times of crisis and change.

This Master Key lives inside our heart and when unleashed lets us boldly go where we have never gone before.

Here is the replay of Tulshi Sen’s Tele-Seminar :

Entrepreneur, Do You Know Your Master Key for Success?

by Aditi Walsh

Master Key For SuccessEntrepreneurs 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.
