This was a recent post in the Unscripted Text Network and definitely needs its own thread here.
Has your ME-BIAS backed you into a corner of doing nothing?
Has your ME-BIAS filtered out thousands of good, life-changing business ideas into no ideas?
Has your ME-BIAS stopped you from grinding into a new person and learning new skills?
Has your ME-BIAS kept you on the couch, lamenting about how you don't have an ideas?
Has your ME-BIAS kept YOU the same this year, like last year, and the year before that?
An entrepreneur on the INSIDERS forum recently complained that he couldn't identify any ideas.
After a few questions, it become clear why. The entrepreneur had a ME-BIAS.
In neuroscience, your reticular activating system (RAS) is basically a form of confirmation bias to see what your brain has prioritized into its consciousness. For example, if you buy a new car, you'll suddenly see that car everywhere. If you believe X, your brain will start to see evidence of X being true.
This same concept applies to business opportunities.
People who complain about "not seeing ideas" have a selfish, narrow-minded ME-BIAS and their RAS does the rest.
Instead of thinking, "What can my business do for the world? Or my community?" they errantly think "What can this business do for me?"
The ME-BIAS.
Opportunities must tightly fit into their tiny box of me, me, and me, often relating to loves, passions, interests, and personal desires. It's a limited internal focus vs a broader market viewpoint. In the end, opportunities are limitedly filtered through the ME-BIAS, creating very limited ideas for life-changing pursuits.
Well it's no shock you can't find an idea when you've backed yourself into a corner of having that idea meet your ME-BIAS.
When you drop a ME-BIAS, suddenly the world opens up to you, and opportunities are everywhere.
In my community, I know I could start a landscaping company and immediately earn five figures monthly simply by executing better. If I had a ME-BIAS, a landscape maintenance business would NOT be seen as an opportunity. And yet if I was just getting started as an entrepreneur, running that business for 3 or 4 years could change my life, financial-wise, leadership-wise, hiring-wise, management-wise, and for so many other opportunities for personal development.
In the ultimate irony, dropping your ME-BIAS ends up indirectly serving you ... you do indeed feed the ME.
