Positioning You To Shine Online

Do you have a lizard brain? The reality is that everyone has one although people who are very successful have learned to silence theirs. If you have read Seth Godin’s new book, Linchpin then you will have a really good idea of what I am talking about when I say lizard brain. In any case, the lizard brain is the part of your brain, your belief and your attitude that lets fear get in the way. It’s the part of you that procrastinates or that avoids doing something you know you need to do because well it’s just easier not to do it. The lizard in you is also the part of you that shows up at the last moment right when you are ready to experience a breakthrough or something really great in your business. It’s your internal resistance that says: I can’t or I’ll try or I’m afraid.


So what can you do if you feel like your lizard brain is getting in the way of your network marketing success?


1. Read or listen to a powerful motivational book or audio and start thinking about all of the reasons why you really need to go ahead and do what you know you need to do.


2. Yell out loud, enough and tell the lizard brain to get out of the way and then do it anyway.


3. Make a list of all of the benefits and what you know you will get if you go ahead and act anyway.


4. Practice makes perfect so keep doing it and doing it and you will improve over time and the fear will go away.


What else have you done to silence the lizard brain within you?
