Home Business Make Believe - Or The 4 Stages Of Man (And Woman!)

How can your dreams at the various stages in your life help you today?

Stage 1: Children make up all kinds of stories.

Remember all the imaginary friends you had as a child? Or maybe you only had one special one. Whichever it was, that person (or persons) was absolutely real to you and if you had a sympathetic Mum and/or Dad your friend almost became real to them too.

If you repeated something often enough, it seemed to become true!

I remember that at meal times my Mum used to lay an extra place at the table for my friend and give him a whole meal. Or so I thought at the time. Of course, he did not eat any of his meal and I had to ‘help him out’. That is, eat his as well as mine.

It wasn’t until some time later when my Mother was telling me about this that she confessed what she used to do. She would split the amount of food she thought I’d eat into two and put half each on my and my friend’s plates!

Tricky parents or what?

Stage 2: Teenagers’ daydreams

Do you remember even some of the thousands of dreams and hopes you had as a teenager?

Every day there seemed to be another problem or worry, to which there couldn’t possibly be a solution this side of the end of the world.

Nothing anybody said could convince you that your world wasn’t actually about to collapse completely if that special girl/boy didn’t say ‘hello’ to you on the way to school tomorrow.

Of course, we now know that, more often than not, no matter how bad things appear to be, they aren’t really that bad and can usually be sorted, one way or another.

And equally obvious to you, as a teenager, was the fact that the current problem was even worse than the last one – not true either, of course.

Stage 3: Your aspirations when the ‘world is your oyster’ in your early twenties

The ‘Golden Age’ of the twenty-somethings is when everything is possible, no matter how far fetched.

‘Of course it can be done’. You only need to do this or that and it’s as good as accomplished.

Make a million before your thirties? No problem! You only have to set up a small business, selling some sort of ‘widget’. Then open a string of shops across the country and you’ve made it.

Easy! Well, not quite.

Stage 4: Reality starts to kick in in your mid-thirties to late forties

This is the time when the ideas of the past may not have worked. You’ve tried this and that and are even poorer than you were before. Disillusionment sets in.

How are you going to achieve your goal of self-sufficiency?

Perhaps you should turn to the ideas that others use successfully?

Conclusions:

So, how can we use these stages to help us succeed in the end?

From Stage 1:

We can use the thought that if we repeat something often enough we start to believe it.

Keep saying to yourself, “I am successful”

Then ‘see’ in your mind’s eye what you could do with all the money you “are” making. In this way you give your subconscious the freedom to help you.

From Stage 2:

We can remember that problems are there to be overcome. You must go round, over or under each problem and if you can’t do that, you must really blast it out of the way.

How?

Think and think. Writing all the different aspects of your problem down and then writing any and all thoughts you have for a solution can help.

From Stage 3:

We learn that nothing worthwhile is going to be easy. Not unless you are very, very lucky.

No, most things are going to need a good deal of hard work.

But it should be worth it in the end!

And finally from Stage 4:

Simply, it’s to copy successful people and profit as they do.

Now see if it's Your turn to be a Magnate .
