This is an abundant world. Money and abundance flows freely and easily, and when you become comfortable with this process it is much easier to allow the opportunities for money to flow to you instead of away from you. If you find yourself becoming tight with your money carefully safe guarding each cent from slipping away from you, you become completely focused on your lack of prosperity. You become so focused on keeping what you have left that you cannot see any opportunities that comes your way. This belief can be shifted by an understanding that you can achieve any measure of abundance that you need or want. One way to open your thinking is through the 10% rule. There is a commonly sited rule in entrepreneurism that is the 10% rule. You should always make it your commitment to donate at least 10% of anything you make to the charity of your choice. Making this commitment will improve the way you see yourself and your own financial situation. Charity reminds you of others who are in far worse situations than you and gives you a better perspective on your own abundance. This little shift can assist you in tweaking your thinking to better appreciate the things that are working for you. You switch from feelings of lack to feelings of abundance. This will not only make you feel more abundant and make you see the positives in your situation, it will also make you view yourself differently. You will see yourself as a leader, a benefactor, and an influence for good. This is what every entrepreneur aspires to be. Someone who helps others to find solutions, who offers people the opportunity to improve their lives. And those that will achieve long term success are those who are contributing and creating a better world around them. This shift to entrepreneurial thinking will help you see opportunities that are coming your way and allow you to be confident and courageous in pursuing them. Finally, what you give comes back to you. As I said abundance is a flow, you have to allow it to flow from you freely in a positive way for it to return. You might be looking at this now thinking, I would love to contribute to the world, but I simply can't afford to. These words are like poison. Do everything in your power to remove them from your thinking. Because you can't afford not to. Everyone has a basic level of income, what they could barely get by with. You need to pay rent or mortgage, you need to pay the house bills, you need food on the table. Any money beyond this basic level is extra. You would not let your income drop below this basic level because you need a roof over your head and food on the table. Now take that basic level, and add an extra 10%. Keep it simple: you have a new basic income level. This is one of the most important changes of thinking, and is vital to your future. If your income currently does not cover this, than you need to make it your priority to raise your income to this new level at least. If this is a non-negotiable in your life, the opportunity will come to you, and as you open to more opportunities and possibilities for your life you will open up to success. You owe it to yourself and to the world to find your abundance.

This dream however is easily shattered the moment you start talking to people about your fantastic business opportunity. You immediately not only start getting rejected by these people, but you start getting bombarded with lots of negativity and dream killers. These people will do all they can to undermine what you are doing. At the same time, because they do not share your dreams and goals, these negative people are not able to see and understand what you dream is all about.

In lieu of the above facts, and in order not to feel dejected and rejected by all the negativity, you should try as far as possible to stay away from negative people. This may be easier said than done. However here are a few tips that can help you achieve it.

Many successful people go through motivational courses and read motivational books to keep their motivation spirit up! There are a lot of people in the world today who do not believe in the power of positive motivation. Are you one of them? Have you become so immune to motivation or are you turning out to be another negative person as well? Look deep into yourself and search your soul. Things may not be rosy all the time. However in life there are always ups and downs and it is how you handle these challenges in your life that will determine if you succeed or otherwise. Remember not to give up on yourself and get yourself recharged again by reading more motivational books or attending motivational camps and seminars.

- Positive affirmation. Constant and daily positive self affirmations help to boost the spirit as well. Go through the affirmations everyday at least two times, once in the morning and again in the evening. This will help to give you some positive energy.

- Remove yourself from negative environment. This is easier said than done because most of the time it is the people closest to us who are our dream killers and dream snatchers. So if you want to continuously stay positive, you need to recharge yourself with positive energy as often as possible. Even the most successful person may have gone through this stage. Yet in order to reach the level where they are at right now, they have to make a conscious effort to pull themselves away from all the negative people in their lives. Then only can they succeed in recharging their positive energy with help from motivational books, workshops and seminars and go all out to create financial success in their lives.

- Just take action. It is normal to feel down and negative and get pulled down by all the negativity especially when you are not achieving results. The most important thing that you can do when you hit this stage is to take action and get back into the groove of things. Think positive, act like a warrior and 'just do it' as Nike says. Rather than just sitting there and sulking in the background, make a concerted effort to go all out and ignore any negativity. Get up, get out and get things going!
