Instead of selling your fish to a middle-man, you can negotiate directly with processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked Mexican.

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied American.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards? That's when it gets really interesting," answered American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!"

Always keep your mind picturing what you really want and THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WANT TO BE and not where you are. Stress is what happens when you put your attention on wrong things.**

And now over to you. Most people live life in a trance without noticing thoughts that are flying around inside their heads all day long. Spend more time each day spotting what you think about, you will likely find that you often run through all things that could go wrong as well as seeing situations working out as being only o.k.

Next, review a recent event where pressure was on and you froze. How did you manage to put yourself in such an unresourceful state. What thoughts were going through your mind.

More than likely you created big pictures in your mind of things going wrong.

Get into habit of expecting things to work out and you will find yourself picturing life running more smoothly. You will then feel more confident, people will respond to you differently and you will get better results. Before long you will see that it is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Expect more, do more and get more whether that be money, love, happiness or peace of mind. Expect best.
