Visionaries have ideas that can change the world, but some suffer from following through and doubt their ability to be heard in this noisy world. As a participant in the Northwestern University Social Media Marketing Program, I found 2 articles highlighting the importance to take action now.
In Gary Vaynerchuk's blog article, “The Day I Decided to Become Gary Vee,” he explained what positioned him as the leader of one of the fastest growing creative agencies. He was already basking in the success of Wine Library and grew it from a $4 million to a $45 million business, but decided he wanted more. The problem he noticed, his actions didn’t show it. He firmly believes you can change what you don’t like and get out of the rut. When motivating the masses, many are looking for a short cut, but Gary says, “hard work pays off. Your behavior has to back up your words.” He argues that complaining is pointless and he lives a life of no excuses.

While the above article stressed self motivation, “Money Affirmations to Change Your Life,” by Denise Duffield, Mindset Coach, uses mantras to drive home the same feeling. Affirmations are used to shift your focus from negative chaos, to a positive and focused mindset. As a coach, Denise works with entrepreneurs to eliminate money blocks that may be sabotaging their success. In a crowded market space, training to focus on the positive equips you for success and to freely receive money without feeling guilt.
