			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>You either think there is enough, or not enough&#8230; you get to decide!</h3>
<p><a href="http://lifeissales.smeester.com/wp-content/uploads/believe.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-207 alignright" style="border-left: 10px solid white; border-bottom: 10px solid white;" title="Believe" src="http://scott.smeester.com/wp-content/uploads/golden-eggs.jpg" alt="Abundance vs. Scarcity" title="Abundance vs. Scarcity" width="300" height="199" /> </a> When you believe in your heart that everything is in abundant supply, and that you and everybody else in this world is entitled to as much as they really want, and that nothing is in short supply, then you start behaving differently.  You start living a life of less worry and actually start attracting LIFE to you.  I&#8217;m not just talking about money, but personal happiness, health, relationships&#8230; you name it.</p>
<p>On the other hand, when you live with a scarcity mindset, you believe the world and its offerings are finite, and you believe you&#8217;re entitled to a little piece and that&#8217;s all you&#8217;ll ever get.  You&#8217;ll tend to be very competitive.  You&#8217;ll have a hard time being happy for other people&#8217;s success.  You&#8217;ll not want to share recognition or profits or credit for success, even when you received help&#8230; and when don&#8217;t you?  In fact, you&#8217;ll tend to not ask for help when needed, furthering your demise.<br />
<a rel="http://products.directyourmind.com/z/36/CD905/" href="http://products.directyourmind.com/z/36/CD905/"><img class="size-full wp-image-205 alignleft" title="sales_mind_cd" src="http://scott.smeester.com/wp-content/uploads/sales_mind_cd.gif" alt="sales_mind_cd" title="sales_mind_cd" width="190" height="186" /> </a></p>
<h3>How to Overcome Scarcity</h3>
<p>I used to have a scarcity mentality.  I used to suffer from all the things above and it was a hard rut to get out of.  My sales coach saw that I suffered from scarcity thinking and introduced me to <a title="SalesMind" href="http://products.directyourmind.com/z/36/CD905/" target="_blank" title="SalesMind">SalesMind</a> &#8211; short, subconscious affirmations that help you change your thoughts.  It literally changed me!  If you think you have a scarcity mentality, I recommend you run, don&#8217;t walk, to buy <a href="http://products.directyourmind.com/z/36/CD905/" target="_blank">SalesMind</a> &#8230; I promise it will change the way you think!</p>
<p>SalesMind can also help you with these negative sales scripts you may also have:</p>
<ul>
<li>Low money tolerance</li>
<li>Fear of rejection</li>
<li>Asking tough questions</li>
<li>Talking about money</li>
<li>Fear of the phone</li>
<li>Fear about asking for the business</li>
<li>Low self esteem</li>
<li>Need for approval</li>
<li>Control emotions</li>
</ul>
<p>Along these lines I highly recommend reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1929774516?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=scottsmeester-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1929774516">Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity</a> .  It is a great book that speaks to these issues.</p>
