I think it is taken for granted about using your brainpower to grow your business. I believe it is rare, but each one of us have within us the power to become successful and make money. The brain is a super power that we haven't fully used to our advantage, and are just now realizing a lot of the capability of this vessel.

How can you use brainpower to make money?

There are unlimited ways, you just need to unearth what you have hidden in there.

One of the best ways that I have found to unearth these nuggets is quite simple. All you need to do is put your mind to it (pun intended). If you are a salesman, or you are running a business and want to increase revenues, or even if you want to start a business and just don't know where to begin, this is the most basic form of brainstorming.

Every morning, take a problem you want to work on that day. We'll use "increase sales" for our example. List 20 ways and new ideas that you can gain one extra sale that day on a piece of paper. For instance, ask a client for a referral, or send out a mass email to your contacts with some nugget of helpful info with links to your site, or something like that.

It will be pretty easy to come up with five or six, and will get harder from then on for the first couple of days. But, if you persist, even by the third day I promise that you will be coming up with ways of increasing sales that will astound you!

Use Goals.

Using goals is the best way to reach the dreams you have. However, there are differences in dreams and goals.

Let me explain. How often have you had a dream of getting a new car by next year, or some other dream. You sit back and think of how you are going to accomplish this, and you set out on the journey. This lasts a couple of days, maybe 2 weeks for a disciplined person, and then it is forgotten as other problems or life creeps up.

See, this is a dream, and only a dream. A goal is only an idea until you put it on paper.

What you need to do is sit down and brainstorm about ALL dreams you have ever had, title a page "next 30 years," and put down anything you can think of. Use your imagination, everything is possible when you put it in your mind to do it.

Then, take the next 3 years, and use your 30 year list to come up with what you really need or want in the next 3 years.

Now, you have on paper your goals, and you can now write out your directions. But by doing this, you have concrete proof, and something you will be thinking about subconsciously in every decision, and your path will nearly pave it's own way.

The best way of unleashing your mind made money!

Read! Acquire knowledge. Live every moment in complete awe and curiosity of everything this world has to offer.

Read anything, financial books, self help and betterment books; read biographies, and history. Any type of reading is working your mind and imagination, and these actions will produce such miracles in your thinking and what you are able to accomplish, that it will strike you as silly that you never read much before.

I know a lot of people don't like reading. Just start with fiction that excites you or that you are interested in. When you are reading something you enjoy, it will make the world of books come alive.

You have the power!

You really do have this power in you to make money. Using brainpower to make money is the cheapest way to start anything. Your brain is the fullest library of ideas and imaginative resources to do anything. You just have to unlock it, and the only way to do this is to build your brainpower.

Making money is easy if you put your mind to it, and if you have the direction and guidance to go along with it. Many people are out there to help you, and the philosophy of most successful people is to help others, so don't ever hesitate to seek advice from those you consider successful people.

Good Luck and Happy Helping!
