Since the reasons given are all the same…what’s the underlying difference? Why do people use one reason to start and the same reason to quit? Answer = Emotion(s)<\/strong>. Where do emotions come from? Our interpretations and perceptions. Which are based upon sensory input (5 senses) and what we’ve learned previously. <\/p>\n It is well known that our senses are limited in what they take in ie only small parts of the light or sound spectrum. And it is well known that we are born with just one innate fear – abandonment, and 2 learned fears – loud noises and falling. All other fears we have are ones we’ve learned. And therefore they can be un-learned. <\/p>\n And all “un-learning” comes from having new experiences<\/em> which are preceded by new thoughts<\/em> which resulted in new actions<\/em> which resulted in new experiences<\/em>.<\/p>\n For Starting, Not starting, and Quitting the underlying emotion is Fear. And the only known antidote to fear is Action. And the way we move human beings to act is to ask questions that help them find their inspiration or motivation. This is our main tool as coaches, mentors, friends, parents – asking questions. <\/p>\n Example: We ask children “how will you be certain there’s no boogeyman in the dark corner of the room?” Answer = action = “by turning on the light”. <\/p>\n Ultimately, people are motivated by either Inspiration or Desperation. They will DO more to avoid pain than they will to seek pleasure. And they will ACT upon emotions first, THEN they seek to justify or rationalize their decision. <\/p>\n Now ask yourSelf a great question; “In relation to my success in my business, what’s a thought I’ve never thought before?<\/em>”<\/p>\n Live With Intention, Here are the Top 3 Reasons people give for Starting, Not Starting, and Quitting a business. 1.
