Use Reverse Psychology to Become Famous by Morning By Mark A. Lewis

So you want to become famous, be an instant celebrity, be a master of self promotion and get yourself or your business spotlighted by the media. You have worked hard on your marketing ideas. Come up with ideas that you think are different and unusual that will make them go viral and at the same time be picked up by mainstream media.

You have spent money on promotional merchandise that you thought would be a success. T-shirts, stickers, calendars etc.

Used visualization and affirmations to attune your mind to the direction you want to go forward in.

Tried meditation and isolation techniques to find your inner voice, but… all to no avail.

It can be frustrating, disheartening and discouraging when you put in such an effort only to have no recognition positive feedback to help keep the momentum going.

Now you have doubts, fears and feel despondent. You ask yourself “what am I doing wrong?”

Time again to step back, calm yourself and listen to that inner voice.

You may have done it before, but this time it’s for a different purpose. You are focusing on the answers now.

Meditate, take yourself away to an isolated spot and repeat an affirmation. Something like:

“I am now famous and loved by all”.

Now listen to your inner voice. Truly listen and discover what it is telling you.

If you have been finding roadblocks at every turn or juncture, odds are that your inner voice (the voice of your sub-conscious) does not have the same belief that you are trying to affirm.

So when you say “I am now famous and loved by all”, your inner voice is responding with something like: “are you kidding, your own work colleagues find you annoying”.

There is the doubt, the blockage that is thwarting your every attempt to succeed.

It is also an answer to another area that needs attention before you can move forward. Things like:

“before you can be respected by others, learn to respect yourself”, “before you can love others, learn to love yourself” or something like “before you can be successful, learn to honor and appreciate success in others”.

But I digress… If positive affirmations are not working for you, you need help, some back-up, a defender of your goals.

So let’s try a little reverse psychology.

Say to yourself something like this “you loser, you’ll never be famous and successful”.

Chances are this time your sub-conscious will come to your defense. Something like “heeey back off buddy, we can accomplish anything when we really want it so of course we can be famous!”

And this is another way of re-programming that inner voice as it can now become a truth that you can affirm with inner conviction.

A quick note though, negative thoughts are still… negative, so this is not a method you’ll want to use all the time. Just one to keep for moments you find yourself at a loss or roadblock.

From negative to positive, that’s how using reverse psychology can lead you to the path of becoming Famous By Morning.

Hint - Use the Wisdom of Benjamin Franklin to Become Famous by Morning By Mark A. Lewis

Benjamin Franklin was one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, but to call him just a scientist would not do him justice.

He was a noted author, satirist, civic activist, inventor, statesman and diplomat.

Franklin is credited as being foundational to the roots of American values and character, a marriage of the practical and democratic values of thrift, hard work, education and community spirit.

Also famous for a number of quotes, let’s use the Benjamin Franklin ethics of hard work and persistence to help you forge ahead in your efforts of business and self promotion:

Planning
“Never leave that till to-morrow which you can do to-day.”

I have heard this put in another, more direct, way by Carnegie and Schwab: “Eat the frog first”. That is, whatever is your most unpleasant task, get it out of the way first! Then everything after that will seem easy.

Teamwork
“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

Whether you work alone or in a group, at some stage reliance on others can be necessary and better still, extremely useful to fulfilling your needs.

“Many hands make light work”, so lighten your load both mentally and physically when you can.

Achievement
“Little strokes fell great oaks.”

Many people are daunted by the enormity of a project or promotion. Breaking it down into manageable tasks and defining the ‘critical path’ can have you speeding to a successful outcome.

Success
“A little neglect may breed mischief: for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost.”

Don’t forget to do the groundwork for a project. Enormous structures are only as stable and strong as the foundations they sit upon.

“Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former, we may easily bear the latter.”

What measure of satisfaction can a person get for not pursuing a path or dream? Pride in one’s achievement is acceptable and expected after a comparable effort has been made in pursuit of the task.

“God helps them that help themselves.”

This is another of the universal laws. With the correct mindset and effort, you “reap what you sow”.

Money
“Remember that time is money.”

Making one million dollars is not the same if it was done over 3 years compared to 30 years. So don’t delay another minute and forge ahead!

“A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose to the grindstone.”

If you desire to be wealthy and successful then educating yourself in ways to maintain and grow such wealth is an important skill to learn.

Time
“Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”

Learn to ‘live in the now’. Don’t put off things until tomorrow, don’t dwell on past failures or achievements just as you shouldn’t fear or get too excited over future events. The only things you can do and influence are happening right now.

So live for the moment and become Famous By Morning!

Success at Last - Life Really is the Learning Ground By Steve Wickham

M. Scott Peck said in his 20th Century classic Wisdom from the Road Less Traveled,

“Our view of reality is like a map with which to negotiate the terrain of life… we are not born with maps; we have to make them, and the making requires effort. The more effort we make to appreciate and perceive reality, the larger and more accurate our maps will be. But many do not want to make this effort.”

The whole purpose of life is wrapped up in building a large and true map of reality, and we do this via learning and that is an intentional process that requires a lot of effort.

I have dedicated my life to the processes of facilitation, coaching and advising in areas of my knowledge, skill and experience. The only way I can achieve what I set out to do is to cogently focus on learning.

And when I look at the teaching aspects of my life roles, I find that the saying, ‘The teacher learns twice’ is apt. Constant learning (and a keen openness for it) for those in teaching and training roles is critical.

There are at least three (3) challenges to learning and the development of maps:

1. UNLEARNING

We need to unlearn the things we learned incorrectly in the first place. Perhaps we had bad models or were shown bad processes. Perhaps we simply didn’t listen or learn properly. We’re destined to need to unlearn many things, and, all through life it is a necessary thing because no one learns everything perfectly.

2. RELEARNING

We need to relearn the things we learned once, but then never used again, or have neglected since. These are possibly things we might have considered ourselves to be guru’s in once-upon-a-time, but lack of practice has rendered the knowledge, skill or experience worthless or compromised.

3. ADAPTING TO A CHANGING WORLD OR ENVIRONMENT

Peck mentions also that the world is constantly changing so we have to change our maps (and adapt) as required–this requires character because none of us really wants to relinquish hard-earned knowledge and successful ways of doing things. Change is inevitable.

To be successful in life we must embrace learning, even in situations where we’d rather not expend the effort. Effort equals results.

Success at Making Changes - Put the Large Rocks in the Jar First By Helene Desruisseaux

You probably heard the story of the Zen master who showed his students a jar full of sand and assorted sized rocks and asked them how to add a few larger rocks to the jar without throwing out any of its contents.

They of course answered that it couldn’t be done; there was no more room.

Isn’t that how you feel about your latest personal change project?

There is no more room, so no wonder part of you sabotages the personal improvement or profit making project that you say you want to institute.

Your mind is full, your time is taken, and part of you rebels. No matter how important a big rock is, it can’t go into your jar.

Yes it can

Your jar can hold more than it appears; the trick is to put the bigger rocks in first, then the smaller and smaller ones, finishing with the sand. There is room for everything because the smaller particles just filter through whatever small space is available.

Try it for yourself one time; seeing it is a lot more powerful than reading about it.

What are your big rocks?

Mine this week was starting to exercise daily (I know, so predictable a New Year’s resolution), and I followed the typical pattern when it comes to change:

Day 1: Did great

Day 2: Didn’t do any. I got busy and told myself I’d do it later when I wasn’t as mentally productive, and then ran out of willingness later in the day. How embarrassing since I teach people how to make changes in their lives!

Why didn’t I put my big rock in first? I didn’t think I needed to; I thought for sure I would exercise later. After all, until recently I was used to frequent workouts and didn’t have to struggle to do it. I certainly didn’t feel any internal resistance and was looking forward to it.

But in the last 4 months, I have been spending most of my time sitting in front of the computer and let my gym membership lapse (sound familiar?). I had left myself get out of the exercise habit, at an age where it takes a little more effort to get my body motivated.

Day 3: I put the rock in first and started the day with exercise.

Now putting the rock in first doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to do it first thing in the morning. It just happens to be a good idea for many people especially when it comes to exercising. Your past behavior will tell you what you need to do to make your big rock a priority before other things.

The most frequent strategic mistake

I still find myself going down that road; see if it’s familiar thinking: “I’ll get all the small easy stuff out of the way to clear the decks, and then I’ll be freer to get started on my priority.”

So I’ll check e-mails…and still be piddling about an hour later. Twitter and Facebook are two other great ones to procrastinate with.

Yes, e-mails and Social Media may be essential to your business, but they are quite distracting and can be done in small increments. They are the sand rather than the big rock.

Big Rocks are usually either:

Changes of habits
Things we might resist but need to do
Goals that might bring up fear of failure or rejection
Creative projects needing concentration
And requiring sustained effort
Clearing the decks first opens the door to your internal resistance distracting you from ever starting on the more important, and scarier, stuff.
