Uncertainty Makes Abundance Possible
"Uncertainty makes abundance possible." - Raj Gavurla
Uncertainty
Each day there is uncertainty. Entrepreneurialism in the traditional or corporate sense thrives on this because it's a necessary condition to raise the bar (better results). By doing so the rewards are greater. Buyers buy and investors invest in your services and products. A better mindset has this characteristic.
Then it's a matter of :
1. Marketing and selling it
2. Communication
3. Execution
We are in uncertain times. This means there is an abundant playing field to come up with an entrepreneurial shift to make a significant difference for clients and prospects.

Execute Entrepreneurially In All Aspects of Life
"Execute entrepreneurially in all aspects of life." - Raj
Gavurla
Why? Because if you don't every aspect of your
life is stagnant or declines. I know you don't want that.
I'm not so unbearable to ask: Do you want that?
Of course you don't.
So today take a couple of minutes to think about is
your business (work), sports, and life producing "in the zone" (better results than before that feel effortless).
If not, you need entrepreneurial thinking tools to apply towards all aspects of your life. By having the tools and knowing when and how to apply them you
experience confidence in your ability to perform.
For example, you've gotten stuck or reached a point
of diminishing return. Take 10 seconds to think what's keeping you from performing or a higher return? You
identified the need. Then pick:
1. Do it (you already know what to do) just
mentally stuck in thinking
2. Go get it
(you need to get the tool (knowledge), person (relationship), product, or service)
This will get you better results than before to
experience confidence and perform. Apply it to all aspects of your
life.

The Good News About Consistently Being In The Zone
"Get In The Zone More Often." - Raj Gavurla
The Good News About Consistently Being In The
Zone
1. Nutrition
What you eat really makes a huge difference in all aspects of your life.
Eat right to raise the bar in work, athletics, and free time with family and friends. Put together your nutrition
plan.
Here's mine:
I drink water, decaf tea, milk, decaf coffee. I don't drink caffeine. I
drink decaf. I don't eat refined sugar including artificial sweetners. I eat fruit. I don't drink alcohol. I eat well (a variety of
foods). An entrepreneurial idea is to make me a new drink I can drink.
2. Health
If needed, take treatments and supplements as needed.
3. Spiritual
Read a chapter from a spiritual book to inspire your soul.
4. Work
Produces endorphins like exercise does.
5. Exercise
Do a variety to keep it interesting and fun. Know what to do to avoid
injury, pain, and boredom.
6. Spend time with family and friends
It's rejuvenating to socialize.
7. Meditation
Clears your mindset and unclutters your thinking to progress and achieve
goals
8. Listen to something motivational
It will stimulate you and get rid of negativity.
9. Downtime for relaxation
There are a variety. A simple example is to sit on the deck at night and
feel the cool breeze.
10. Prayer
Gives hope and makes the world a better place to live
11. Sleep
Allows your body to rest, heal, and be your best tomorrow.
Here's the great news! Although implementing and doing each of the
above increases your ability to perform "In The Zone", you feel it! You can be "In The Zone" now without doing each one. Get "In The Zone". You feel it! You're "In The Zone!"

In The Zone
"The zone is when everything is in
slow motion although it's really at full speed and feels
effortless."
- Raj Gavurla
In The Zone
It's the end of January. Have you stuck with your new year's resolutions?
If yes, congratulations! If no, here are
two simple tips to help you make progress.
1. Use Emotional Logic
Many people want to lose weight in a healthy way. They get a nutritionist
and exercise plan. People have problems staying motivated and inspired because the results aren't coming as fast as
they want. To keep you motivated and inspired use emotional logic to get you eating right and exercising. See, what's
keeping you from your goal is logic (i.e. "I can skip a day." "I'm in my comfort zone." "It's useless." "This is the way I am.").
Therefore, instead of relying on logical emotion use emotional logic. Start with emotion to trigger your logic to get started. Then, use logical
emotion.
2. Use Logical Emotion
After getting started with emotional logic, use logical emotion to navigate
your way through your eating and exercise plan. Therefore, if you're running on the treadmill and feel yourself sluggishly
making progress use logic (i.e. "Pick up the pace." "See a positive image and replicate it" "Run harder".
Revert between Emotional Logic and Logical Emotion as needed. Soon, you'll
be "In The Zone". Everything is in slow motion although at full speed and effortless. It feels like nirvana. This is where you want to be.
Comment on the times you've been "In The Zone". Think of a work and sports example.

Self-Think vs. Self-Talk
"Motivate and inspire your team's passion to take action to produce better results." - Raj Gavurla
Did you know there's a difference between self-think and self-talk?
Self-think is simply what you think as you do something. Self-talk is what you say verbally to yourself.
You've been in situations
with a client, teammate, or when on your own something is said. It's essential to know is it being said to motivate themself,
are saying it to inform you, want a reply from you, or unfortunately trying to trick you. After quickly determining this by using self-think,
you know how to react. Be conscious of this and you'll see your ability to make progress increase. I encourage you to get in the zone,
don't let someone get you out of the zone, and get who you're talking with "in the zone."
You'll make much greater strides. It's a
simplified approach which produces better results, moods, money, and a better life. Remember the difference between self-think and
self-talk.

When It's Time
Happy Holidays To You and Your Family!
- Raj Gavurla
When It's Time
The holiday season is upon us. We celebrate specific holidays yearly when it's time. It reminds me of the time I met Dekembe Mutombo at the gym and asked him to play basketball. In his deep voice he said, "When it's time to play basketball, I play basketball." Well, "it's time" to celebrate the holiday season. Have fun with family and friends this Thanksgiving Holiday!
