Third eye
That said, in the martial world, people who are flexible, or people who have the ability to exceed the ability of most people, are able to see things that can not be seen by ordinary people. For example, they are said to be able to see the bio-energy fields that surround humans, see supernatural beings, and even be able to see events in other places, or events that will occur in the future, which in Javanese is called "kaweruh winarah". In short, extraordinary abilities that greatly help them in living their lives. Of course, they gained this ability not in an easy way. They have taken various training and discipline to open their "third eye", so that their views are able to penetrate things that are not seen by the ordinary eye.
As in the martial world, in the business world you actually have to have a "third eye" to be able to see things that most people can't see. I mean this is not to see supernatural beings, but to see the business opportunities that pass in front of the eyes, but always escape the sight of our ordinary eyes. So we need discipline and practice to open our "third eye". Indeed, there are certain people who are born with talent to easily see business opportunities. However, actually everyone has the same opportunity. Because there are simple exercises that if you often do, will make your third eye more sensitive to seeing opportunities. The exercise that I will describe should be done alone, in a calm and comfortable environment. Because you have to do a lot of brain work, like Brian Tracy's mindstorming. Of course, you need stationery to write down your exercises. Here are the two exercises I want to share:
The first exercise is the "Success" exercise. This way. Think about and write down 20 objects that are around you, and then next to them write at least one name "the success", that is, the person who successfully runs the business related to the object you wrote earlier. Can people you know directly or not. Example: Computer - Michael Dell (Dell); Paper - Eka Cipta (Sinar Mas Group); Instant Noodles - Anthony Salim (Indofood); Kopi - Howard Schultz (Starbuck); Veil - Nia Kurnia (Rabbani); Shoes - Edo Edward Forrer; etc. The example I wrote was a national and international business class figure. However, it would be better if you replace with someone you really know and close to you.
Initially it might be difficult. Sometimes you will "hang" a little thinking about who has successfully sold the item you wrote. However, over time you will more easily find the name of the success. After you have succeeded with the first exercise, you can do several variations of the exercise. For example, you write 20 names of food and the success in the field of food, 20 names of objects and the success in the field of technology; and others. What things can you write? Whatever, starting from food, clothing, equipment, whatever you see or cross your brain. If you have not found the name of the successful person on the item you wrote, just skip it first and search for information to friends, newspapers, magazines or on the internet. Because there must be. Just relax, you can repeat this exercise as much as you want with the variations you like.
What does this exercise mean? This exercise will prove to you, that for every item you write, there are people who are amazingly successful. That is, every object you see, is actually an extraordinary business prospect waving before your eyes. But all this time you might ignore it, because your "third eye" isn't open yet.
The second exercise is the "One Billion Challenge" exercise. In this exercise you must be able to answer the challenge: how to make one billion rupiahs, from whatever items you choose. You can take the name of the object from the one in the "Success" exercise list. Suppose you choose "Shoes". So your challenge is how to make one billion from objects called these shoes. Ooh it's easy, for example, the shoes for 100 thousand just multiply by 10 thousand, meet a billion. Yes, but logic says it will be very difficult to sell 10,000 shoes at a time. Then how?
The trick is to use "factor times". For example, the time factor that you can use for example is:
First, of course the price of the product. For example, the price of shoes is 100 thousand.
Second, product variations, for example there are 5 types of shoes.
Third, region, for example you have friends or relatives in 4 cities, which you can market your shoes with
Fourth, resellers, for example in each city, your friends or relatives invite 5 colleagues to become resellers
Fifth, sales per month, for example each reseller gets the target of selling 10 pairs of shoes per month
Sixth, time, for example, you sell for 10 months
So, how much money do you get. Try taking a calculator: 100,000 x 5 x 4 x 5 x 10 x 10 = 1000,000,000. Just a billion! Congratulations you have made one billion. Unfortunately, just on paper, hehehe ... Yes, because the training is new on paper, then the money is also new on paper. If you want real money, you have to take action in the real world.
You can do many variations of this exercise. For example replace billions with ten billion, one hundred billion, etc. Likewise with the times factor, create factor times-factor times according to your imagination. You can prove it yourself, the more times the factors make more sense. A reseller who sells 10 pairs of shoes per month for ten months certainly makes more sense than selling 10 thousand shoes in one day.
What does this exercise mean? That it turns out that generating one billion or even ten billion of the items around you is very likely, if you take advantage of the factor of times. Do this exercise as often as possible, so that every time you see an object, you can see a billion in it.
With these exercises, God willing, your "third eye" business will be wide open, and you can see opportunities everywhere.
