One Simple Change that Can Make You More Successful (Sponsored)

We’ve all heard advice, best practices and warnings about our need to change our passwords. However, there is a much larger more positive impact, beyond security that passwords can have on your daily life, and business.

If you’ve ever heard the saying “Success is a Mindset” it’s true. Self-help books have us sticking post it notes to our mirrors, listening to audio books in the car, and taking yoga classes. But there’s one glaringly obvious and easy change that we can make to help brain-wash ourselves to become more successful.

How many times per day do you enter your password?

Ten, twenty, maybe even thirty times? How many passwords do you use? Most professionals enter their primary three to five passwords, dozens of times throughout the day.

What if every time, you were encouraging yourself to do better, or make a positive change in your life. It’s a proven fact that repetition creates muscle memory in your brain. Telling yourself, subliminally to accomplish your goals, change a habit, or let something go, over and over again eventually soaks in and stick to your brain like maple syrup on a micro-fiber sofa.

Think about the goals you have for yourself, your life and your law practice. Then match passwords up to those goals. Changing them every few months as you achieve each one, or move past an obstacle. Here are some examples:

I wish I was more confident:

Yes!can2015 or @ch1eve

Want to take a vacation:

Bamamas!n2015

You’d get paid faster if you…

$endbillsoutontime

I want to ___

Quit$moking

To make _x_ amount of money I need:

10newclients!

I really wish I could:

e@tright or p@ckmylunch2nite or 30daysn0@alcohol

Build stronger relationships:

c@llmywife or t@lk2mom

Not only are these passwords easier to remember, but I guarantee that after a week of typing in just one of these phrases you notice a shift in your thoughts. Positive changes in your life, health and business come directly from your daily focus. With the 1,000,000,001 distractions we have tempting us every day, it’s important to adopt every tool we can to keep our eyes on the prize ahead.

Socrates said: “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

So break out those new passwords, and get ready to change! One simple keystroke entry at a time …
