Ever stop to think what determines your success as a magician? Some people think it’s the clients, the economy, your talent, your marketing, and on and on. These things are great to have but they are not the biggest indicator of how successful you are going to be.
Your success has nothing to do with the state of the economy….nothing to do with having the best marketing, and certainly nothing to do with how talented or smart you are. For an example on the last one, have you known people who are really really smart but aren’t very successful? And conversely, have you known people that aren’t very smart who are extremely successful? The answer to both questions is YES!
Why is that? What really determines the level of someone’s success? Well, many studies have proven that there is one thing that separates the very successful from the not so successful……it’s their thinking. What do you think about the most? More importantly what are you thinking about YOU the most? Most people are unconscious about their thinking habits about themselves. Studies show that the majority of our thinking about us is negative.
Have you ever noticed yourself thinking “I can’t do this”, “They are way better than me”, “I’ll never make a lot of money being a magician”, “I’ll never get hired for that gig”? Most of the time we are very unconscious about our negative thoughts, and our positive ones for that matter. We just walk around be unconscious most of the time, wondering why we don’t have everything we want.
The problem with being so unconscious is that our lives are created by whatever our most predominant thoughts are. If you think you won’t succeed, you won’t. If you think you’ll be outrageously successful, you will! It’s as simple as that. Your thought process is the single most powerful tool for you creating the life and career that you want.
Can we learn to be more positive in our thinking? The answer is yes! Our negative thoughts came from years and years of conditioning. And so in order to change them, it requires some conditioning as well. Some ways of conditioning your mind to bring you more success are: Visualizing how you want your life, your career, a particular show or opportunity to turn out. Doing this everyday will give you a lot more energy.
And another tool is to take time everyday to acknowledge your successes. We are usually way more focused on what we didn’t accomplish vs. what we did. Write down and acknowledge 5-10 things that you accomplished everyday. What you focus on expands, so the more you focus on the good, the more good will come to you.
