The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over, expecting different results. In over 50 years as an entrepreneur and owner of multiple businesses, it is evident to me that many businesses around the world function from this insanity, writes Gary Douglas.

What does money mean to you? How many points of view do you have about wealth and abundance? asks Gary Douglas, bestselling author of Money Isn’t the Problem, You Are. Your points of view about money create your experience with money. For example, if you have decided that you have to work hard to make money, you will work hard for every dollar you earn. If you have decided that you have a money problem, you will continuously find yourself in difficult financial situations.

As the owner of a personal development company, a castle in Italy, a resort called El Lugar in Costa Rica and an antique guild in Australia, I can honestly say – even with all that is going on – overwhelm is not something I do, writes Gary Douglas. Juggling multiple businesses and projects successfully can be achieved, and it does not have to be at the expense of you, your health or your wellbeing.

If you are in business, you have likely heard the word innovation. It gets thrown around a lot and often discarded as a ‘buzzword’. What most people don’t know about true innovation is that it can be the life or death of a business and is crucial to the continuing success of any organisation, writes Access Consciousness founder, Gary Douglas. Think of innovation like nature. Nature will find a way to grow and thrive, using whatever it has available at the time, to create the greatest result.
