This week’s Entrepreneur University comes thanks to Dr. John Oda. John is a business peak performance expert, an author, and speaker frequently called upon to provide corporate training, workshops and seminars for many companies in the United States.
Today John shares his advice on how you can overcome difficult times and succeed with your business:
“One day, I had received a call from a potential client who told me that she had just lost everything in her business because she went through a divorce. At that moment, I felt sad for her loss and then offered her a solution to move forward in her business.
We all go through problems in our lives. The question is, how do you move forward when life blindsides you in a way that can be painful. Did you know that you are bigger than your problem? And, how do you prepare for life’s problems?
From working in the mental health field for over 21 years, I explain to business people that it is a MUST to renew yourself on a daily basis. An example of doing this is to use auto suggestion that was prescribed by Napoleon Hill, the author of “Think and Grow Rich”. This is done by using a statement and saying it with emotion regularly to condition your subconscious mind to accept it. I’ve used this technique in my own life where I’ve selected statements from the Bible to say aloud, or made up my own positive statements for the subconscious to instill. The best way for it to work is doing an auto-suggestion about 30-minutes a day.
Business owners who don’t take the time to condition their subconscious mind regularly have a heard time dealing with their life problems, which can lead to the downfall of their business. In order to change your life, make this habit a part of your Daily Method of Operation (DMO). Your business is your life. Your business is who you are as a person. It must be your commitment to yourself and your family to renew your mind on a daily basis.
In order to make changes in your life, it has to be a MUST, not a should, or do I have to. You must believe you CAN DO IT. That’s when your life will take off. To keep this promise to yourself, find a friend or get a coach to hold you accountable to your commitment.

Have you given thought to what your Daily Method of Operation (DMO) is?
