A Copywriter’s Choice: To Be or Not to Be … Successful?
What’s your idea of success?
There are many ways to look at success, from physical, emotional
or spiritual health perspectives — to a financial health POV.
I’m one of those people for whom my physical, emotional and spiritual conditions are SO important that I’ve had to actually earn the importance of having a robust financially healthy life.
Then I finally realized that creating financial success is not the antithesis of ‘being spiritual’ at all! But it took me a long time to get here.
Growing up in a small town in Texas, in a strict fundamentalist religion, I was taught “… it is more difficult for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Now keep in mind, this notion was held true, right along with segregation and that “if God wanted us to be together, He’d made us all the same color.” (Actual quote from my Dad that I heard from childhood through teenage.)
Oh my, the amazing lies and bigotry we have to overcome in this world to come out a whole, loving, tolerant person who embraces everyone as ONE!
So, it doesn’t take a genius to understand how the idea of being successful in the area of money, (root of all evil) was extremely difficult for someone like me to get my head around.
I also know this has been true for countless others, who’ve had the unfortunate experience to be taught such nonsense.
What Do I Think Now?
I think, feel and know that we ALL deserve ALL the good in life, including having money.
While all the money in the world can’t replace the other areas of success, it can sure augment it, don’t you think?
Success in Business …
So, I’d like to use the rest of this post to talk about business success. Do you ever find yourself holding back, believing somehow you don’t deserve to have monetary success in your business?
Do you, like me, have to constantly battle the ancient negative voices inside your head, echoing some long-lost ideology forced on you, when you were an impressionable child?
Well, just in case you do, this post is for you, while also being for me.
My answer? Just DO it!
Be with the unworthy and undeserving thoughts … and just DO it anyway. I suggest you don’t focus any energy on these two handmaidens of doubt.
Meaning, just let them sit there, but don’t focus on them, by trying to force them away … that just feeds them and gives them power.
5 Ways to Transcend Unworthy or Undeserving Thoughts:
1. Notice they’re there.
2. Don’t give them any power, by focusing on them.
3. Don’t try to make them go away, either.
4. Reprogram deserving thoughts all the time.
5. Just DO what you know to do to achieve monetary success.
Do the Right Thing …
Armed with the knowing that we deserve all the good, including money, then make sure we do the right thing with it.
In our personal and business endeavors, let’s always, always be a good steward with our money. Never, ever use it to hurt another. Be true to our word and deliver on our promises.
And, may I suggest if you should need help with marketing strategy and copywriting services that will assure your prospects and customers feel you are genuine and trustworthy, choose a copywriter who also operates on these higher principles.
Your customers will respond favorably to the genuine energy they feel from you, I promise.
Yours in business success!
