\nToday I want to share with you something I heard from Mel Robbins, the
\nis an American on-air CNN commentator, television host, life coach,
\nauthor, motivational speaker, contributing editor for Success.
\nI first heard Mel talk about this method she created on a interview she did
\nwith Tom Bilyeu of Impact Theory, which you have heard me mention how much
\nI love listening to that show!
\nMel talked about how she discovered what she calls “The 5 Second Rule” and
\nno this is not where you drop some food on the ground and you only have
\n5 seconds to where you can still eat it.
\nThis is a very simple and powerful method that Mel discovered where when she
\nis faced with taking action on something, she will count backwards from
\n5 to 1….5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 and then she will spring into action.
\nThe amazing thing that Mel talks about, is that the when the brain senses
\nany hesitation, it sends a warning signal to stop as a way to protect you.
\nFor example Mel says your brain will analyze a stuation where you may hesitate
\nand it wil say, “Hey you didn’t hesitate when you put you brushed your teeth
\nthis morning or you didn’t hesitate when you put your shoes on or decide what
\ncoffe to drink, but to make that sales call, you hesitated so it must be
\nsomething to be afraid of and let’s not do that.
\nBy counting backwards from 5, you interupt the brains pattern of thinking and
\nbring yourself to the present.
\nSo how you can apply this in your online business is anytime you are trying to
\ndo something that you are not motivated to do or may scare you, like making a
\ncall, talking to someone you want to interview, doing a paid advertising
\ncampaign, hiring an outsourcer…whatever it may be, Count backwards from 5 to
\n1 and then do it.
\nMel’s analogy is like launching a rocket, you are literally launching yourself
\ninto action.
\nAs I always say. Please impliment this in your business and your life and do
\nnot discount it’s simplicity. If you go to Mel’s website you can see testimonials
\nof people who have used this and have had positive impact on their life.
\nThe book was just recently released so i will be buying it and digging deeper
\ninto this startegy and I suggest you check it out as well. I will have links
\nto the book and Mel’s website in the show notes.
\nUntil next time I wish you a Brilliant Life!!!
