Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

UNLOCKING THE FLOODGATES 
OF YOUR MIND
There are two powerful methods that you can use to unlock your
brainpower and generate more ideas for goal attainment. These
methods are called 
“mindstorming”
and “
brainstorming”
. The first
will make you rich personally, and the second will make you 
successful by enabling you to tap into the brainpower of other
people. These methods are responsible for the creation of many
self-made millionaires. You can use them almost anytime and 
anywhere.

MINDSTORMING FOR IDEAS
The process of “mindstorming” is often called the “20-idea
method.” It is so powerful in generating ideas that when you begin
using it your entire life will change. I have taught it to many tens of
thousands of people all over the world. Everyone who uses it sees
immediate profound improvements in each part of their lives to
which this method is applied.
The method is simple, which is probably why it is so powerful.
All you need is a blank sheet of paper. At the top of the page, write
out your current problem or goal in the form of a question.
Let us say that your goal is to double your income over the
next two years. Make the question on this goal as specific as pos-
sible. The more specific the question, the better your mind can
focus on it and the better quality of answers you will generate
with this exercise.
So instead of writing, “How can I make more money?” you
would write instead, “What can I do to double my income over the
next 24 months?” Remember, you write this question at the top of
the page.
