What’s age got to do with it?

Are you over 50? Do you think you can’t learn anything new or be successful in an online business because you are over 50?

I’m over 50 and I think it’s possible to learn new things and be successful online.

One of the things you have to get over is the number. Yes I’m 58 but it’s just a number. My age doesn’t define who I am or what I am capable of.

The thing that defines who I am and what I am capable of is my mindset. It’s what I say to myself when I’m talking to myself. You know you do it too…

Talk to yourself…

Yes you do!

Ok so what are you telling yourself?

Do you tell yourself : I can’t do that I’m too old?

Do you tell yourself: I can’t learn new things because my memory isn’t as good as it used to be?

Do you tell yourself: Who would want to work with me I’m too old.

I’m here to tell you that your lying to yourself…

You can do anything you set your mind to!

How do I do that you ask…

The First Step

First you need to listen to what you say to yourself when you talk to yourself.

It’s important to identify the things you are telling yourself that are negative before you can change them.

The Second Step

Start writing down all the things you are telling yourself, make a list.

You won’t really take note of the negative things you tell yourself unless you make a point to write them down.

The Third Step

Draw a line on the paper and next to each negative thing write down what the positive of it would be.

Example: I can’t do it.  (Positive : I can do anything I set my mind to)

Mindset

What I learned is that I have to reprogram my mind. There was a time in my life that I was a very negative person. I used to tell myself negative things all the time. I was a negative Nellie. Then I came across a book called “What to Say When You Talk to Yourself.” It totally changed my mindset.

It’s really important to put positive and uplifting information into your brain on a daily basis. That why reading books is so important.

What if you don’t like to read or have problems reading…

I have a solution for that…

Books on CD. Books on CD are great for those of us who don’t have the time to read, or have issues with reading. You can put them on in the car while your driving and listen to them. You can also listen to them while you are working around the house or in the yard.

I love books on CD, I even have the Bible on CD so I can hear the Word as I drive down the road.

There are many motivational and uplifting books on CD that you can get on Amazon for Kindle, they even have books for Kindle that you can download for free. You can also go to the bookstore they have a whole section of books on CD. Look for motivational books like:

• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
• The 7 habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R Covey
• Live your Dreams by Les Brown
• Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins
• The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker

Your Mind is Like a Computer

Your mind is like a computer…

It takes information in and it saves it. Now the computer doesn’t know if the information is negative or positive information. It only knows that it’s information.

Your brain is the same way…

Your brain stores information, it doesn’t know if the information is good or bad it just knows it’s information.  Why are you telling yourself negative things. It’s not going to benefit you. Actually it’s going to make things harder for you in life.

People who are positive are happier than people who are negative.

Ok give this a try if you don’t believe me…

Put a frown on your face and then say something positive…

You can’t do it! Right?

What does age have to do with it?

Age doesn’t have anything to do with success or learning or being happy.

Your age doesn’t matter…

It’s just a number!

What matters is your mindset.

What matters is what you think about and what you tell yourself.

What matters is what you read or listen to and put into your mind.

…Negative in, negative out.

…Positive in, positive out.

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ~~Napoleon Hill

Do you still think that you can’t do it because you are over 50?
