If you don’t like your harvest, change your seeds. If you don’t like what you have, the money you make, your job, or the debt you are in… change your thinking, change your words, and then change your actions. This is not a farming lesson but you could learn a lot from a farmer.

Farmers who want corn plant corn. If they want apples…then they plant apple seeds. It’s just that simple. It takes work to cultivate that crop for the farmers to harvest and make a profit.

Planting new seeds of thinking will move you forward in the direction you want to go. Think about saving money and paying off your debts. Think about new marketing techniques you can learn to sell more products. As mentioned earlier, your current thinking has you where you are. Change your seeds of thinking and you will harvest a better tomorrow.

Change Your Words

When you change your thinking you will change your words. Simple phrases like How much does this business cost vs. How much do I invest in this business put your thinking in an abundance mindset.

Words have power in marketing and sales. Salespeople use words to influence you to buy. Encouraging words comfort a friend or motivate an employee. Words play an important role in determining your future.

When you are praised and promoted how do you feel instead of being criticized and put down? Words are powerful and the self-talk you use produces your harvest. Your new vocabulary has the words saving…
