This is a question that many people who run successful businesses have asked at some point in their life: “How do I make my mind my own personal business?” The answer varies for different people, but the general idea behind this question is to determine if you are truly in control of your own business and how you run it. Many people struggle with this concept because they feel like they are the owner and CEO of their company instead of the secretary or receptionist.
- In order to successfully run a business or keep one afloat in this highly competitive world, you need to know how to keep your mind on your business. To do this, you need to be able to detach from the business and you need to be able to focus entirely on running the business. In order to do this, you need to remove yourself from all contact with the outside world. Whether you are the head of a large corporation or a small business, the thought of having to call in sick and miss work will drive you insane. While some people may choose to limit their contact with the outside world by not letting employees into their homes, this is a poor choice as it can create a hostile work environment and in some cases will drive your employees right back to where they belong, which is your competitor’s business. So while you may have the knowledge, training, and skills to do things such as grow crops and install computer systems, you are better off spending your time thinking about how you are going to grow your business instead of how you are going to fix problems that may arise in the future.
- If you are the boss or the business owner, then you have the power to change the rules and bend them to your will no matter how much the other people complain about it. However, this requires that you become master of your own mind so that you can let go of any notions of controlling your business and instead focus on running it. Many people think that being a “nosey boss” is something that can lead to a lot of stress, especially since they are the ones having to deal with the “nosey” aspect of it all. However, by mastering your own mind, you will be able to solve problems that may arise far more effectively and leave the other party feeling happy that they got their problem solved without you having to resort to a nosey response.
- One way to do this is to keep a journal. Write down everything that is going on in your mind and the thoughts that you have during particular times. By doing this, you will be able to analyze the problem at hand and see if you are actually capable of handling it or if you need to re-adjust your strategy. Once you master your mind and learn to control it, then you can effectively mind your own damn business and you don’t have to worry about anybody else screwing up your business.
- Another thing that you can do to master your own damn business is to get good books on mind mastery. There are tons of amazing books that can help you get a grip on your mind and teach you how to think more clearly. I recommend that you choose books that open subtitles into the book so that you can read the sections about how your mind works and how to think better. Also, I recommend that you purchase an audio book of some sort because it will allow you to learn at your own pace and you won’t feel like you are just listening to someone talk at breakneck speed. Just because we have never met, doesn’t mean we can’t learn from each other’s mistakes.
The point of this article is that you need to master your own damn business because nobody else is. Nobody is responsible for your actions but yourself. If you want to master your mind and be in charge of your actions instead of letting fate decide what goes on in your life, then start reading up on all the different ways to get better at it and I promise you that you’ll be better off than you have ever been.
