helping healthcare organizations grow

Welcome to The Healthcare Marketing Connection! This week I am sharing with you a decision making process I learned at David Neagle's seminar. It's hard to encapsulate everything I learned about this in a short article, but I'm going to give it a try.

I want to share with all of you how powerful David's seminar was for me. I thought I was attending a business/wealth building seminar, but it was really much, much more. I am going to his next seminar in June and will let all of you know about it as the date gets closer. I truly believe that investing in yourself and your development is one of the most important things you can do. Over the next few weeks I plan to share some of the things I learned at the seminar, but I realize that reading my summaries will not come close to sharing with you what I experienced for four days. And by the way - I met Alexandria Brown, the ezine queen, when I was there. I will post pictures of her and I in my blog this weekend. She is very nice. And very beautiful!

On a personal note, we are hosting a foreign exchange student from Mexico. We are picking her up from the airport today. Our family has never done this before and we are really excited. I am worried that she will not like my food (American) :). She's here for two weeks - I'll update you in our next issue how things are going and what we're learning about each other.

To your success!

You Make the Decision - The Universe Show You How

As an entrepreneur we are forced to make decisions every day. Really, as human beings we make decisions every day. Ranging from what to make for dinner, to who you should hire to fill a new position, the consequences of our decisions can be long lasting. Making decisions feels very permanent with far reaching effects which causes us to over-think, rather than make the right decision.

This is why many people hesitate and second guess themselves when the time comes to make a decision. When it comes to making the decision they start to think about how they will implement their decision, and what could happen if they make a particular decision. Not putting the outcome they want first.

Before they decide, they run through their head how they will implement their decision, what it's going to cost them, what will happen if they fail...all the reasons they shouldn't make a decision.

I would like to suggest a different process to use when making a decision. I was taught this technique from David Neagle and it works very well.  

First make the decision. Put the "how am I going to make this happen" aside. Don't think about what others are going to say or think - put your energy into making the right decision for you. If you need $20,000 to invest in your business, but you have terrible credit and nothing in your accounts receivables, you may start thinking about why you can't get $20,000.

What I am asking you to do, before you think about how or why, is to make the decision to move your business forward. Make the decision that you are going to manifest $20,000. Just make the decision you are going to do it and nothing else.

Once you've made the decision (whatever it is) write it down on a piece of paper. Draw a line down the center of the paper. On the left column write down these words "Why I can't". On the right column write down "How I can". Cross off "Why I can't" with a big X. You are done with that column. Why I can't is no longer an option for you. You've made the decision to manifest $20,000. The Universe will bring it to you once you make the decision.

Now write down every single thing you can think of for "How I can". EVERYTHING; even if it seems crazy and impossible. Once you've written everything down, methodically exhaust every item on the list. Somewhere on that list is the solution to making your decision a reality. Somewhere on that list is the how.

It may be that one of the items you wrote down leads you to something else, which makes your decision a reality. The answer is somewhere on that list.

The key is to make the decision without thinking about the how. The universe will make the how happen. Your job is to go through that list tirelessly until you find what you are looking for. In this case it's $20,000.

Here's an example of what the decision to manifest $20,000 could look like:

Decision:  $20,000 

Try it. See if it works for you.
