You’ve probably heard some of the jokes about how bad the economy is. It’s great fodder for comics. One guy joked that the economy is so bad that “The economy is so bad that Angelina Jolie is now adopting an American kid.” Another guy quipped that “The economy is so bad that a woman got an exorcism. But when she couldn’t afford to pay for it they had to “re-possess” her. And Jay Leno remarked that “Times are so bad that six of OctoMom’s 14 kids are already working for Nike.”Unfortunately, there is a lot of negative spin rolling around and some folks really do believe in the Rush Dumbbells of the world that any rescue plan is doomed to fail. However, when I meet someone who starts to whine about how bad the economy is, I do a little Jedi-Mind trick and tell them that the economy is gonna go bananas in June 2009. How do I know this?

Because everything starts with a single thought. Isn’t that what Napoleon Hill wrote about in the capitalist’s Bible, Think and Go Rich? Whatever the mind of man believes, he can achieve!? That’s because thoughts are things, incredibly powerful things that trigger the mind into thinking ways and means of how something can be done. When you start to believe something can change, it creates a chain reaction for doing so. So imagine a big June 2009 with making lots of money!

Now if you disagree, if you don’t think this will work, or that the economy will come back this soon, I know how you feel. Many people have felt this same way; that the economy will take years to come back.Or that it’s gonna get worse before it gets better because we’re in too deep of a crisis. What I have found however, is that making a timeline for something to happen and believing in it usually helps. Call it a short-term goal. But by doing so, I know that I will work harder to find buyers and sellers to make my dream a reality. It’s kind of like the joke about the blonde on the airplane.

A beautiful young blonde woman boards a plane to New York with a ticket for the economy section. She looks at the seats in economy and then looks into the forward cabin at the first-class seats. Seeing that the first-class seats appear to be much larger and more comfortable, she moves forward to an empty seat in first class. The flight attendant checks her ticket and tells the woman to return to her original assigned seat. The blonde replies,”No. I’m going to sit here all the way, until we get to New York.” Flustered, the flight attendant goes to the cockpit and informs the Captain of the blonde problem. The captain says that he has a blonde girlfriend, and that he can take care of the problem. He approaches the girl and whispers something in the blonde’s ear. She immediately gets up, says “Thank you so much, now I understand”. She hugs him, and rushes back to her seat in the economy section. The flight attendant, who had been watching with rapt attention, asks the Captain what he had said to the woman. He replies, “I just told her that the first class section isn’t going to New York.” Like the Captain, tell everyone you meet the positive outcome that you expect to happen this June. Who knows? Like the Captain on the airplane, amazing things may just might come about for you!
