Jack Canfield's Path to Selling Over Half a Billion Books

Our mindset is what dictates our results and as one of the best-selling authors of all time, Jack Canfield, of Chicken Soup For The Soul fame, has learned quite a bit about mindset during his career. Here are five lessons from Jack that anyone can apply to their own pursuits, in order to manifest what they desire.

Storytelling is immensely powerful

When it comes to remembering lessons, there is nothing that helps us remember better than a good story. Storytelling has the power to make complex into simple and much like the nursery rhymes we heard as children, there are always lessons to be learned within our favorite stories. This means that we need to capture and reposit the stories that resonate most with us, so we can easily recollect those lessons when needed.

We are a finite number of “no’s” away from a “yes”

Hearing “no” from people is commonplace, especially in the business world, but we must not let the opinions of others discourage us from chasing our goals. When we understand that we are only a certain number of “no’s” away from hearing a “yes”, we can shift our perspective and maybe even get excited when we get an objection. We must be persistent and patient as we seek out the “yes” that we desire.?

Be willing to explore our consciousness

Looking inward at ourselves is key to achieving growth and getting closer to our true potential. Practices such as meditation can not only help us to find more peace in our lives, but they help us to create a stronger mind/body connection and understand who we truly are. What’s most important is that we find practices that fit us and make us feel good, something that we can do consistently and persistently.

Teachers will accelerate our journey

One of the fastest ways to get to where we want to be is to ask people who are already there for help or direction. Seeking out mentors with expertise and situational knowledge that we can learn from is essential to manifesting our goals. These mentors can not only help us find the right paths to take, but they can also help us to avoid the same pitfalls and mistakes they made along their own journey.

Be engaged and connect with an audience

There is more competition and “noise” than ever when it comes to sharing our message with the world. In order to have our voice stand out and resonate with our desired audience, we must first be engaged on the platforms that those people utilize most often. We also need to combine that with engaging content and a willingness to engage with the people who want to be a part of our community. That level of accessibility allows us to remain relevant and helps to create a deeper connection with the people who resonate most with us and our content.
