Have you ever had problems with math? A lot of people, even CEOs and top management folks, are not particularly gifted with mathematical skills. Sure, its not necessary to achieve success in the business world, but you have to work doubly hard if you dont have math skills on your side.

So if you want to take a faster and shorter road to success, face your problems with math first. Heres how:

1. Change your relationship with math. The big problem is, usually people who have had problems with math since they were in school grow up and even graduate thinking that theyll never fully overcome this particular challenge. They go through life with the belief that theyll never see eye to eye with mathematics. Every time they come across a mathematical problem or anything that has numbers and figures, they slink away. Youll never overcome anything if you dont face up to the challenge because your mind has already given up.

So the real problem, in other words, lies in your perception of math. You think of it as scary, confusing, and something that never makes sense. Thus, thats what it will become.

2. Subliminal re-programming of your mind. So how can you change the way your mind and math works together? The easiest way to change your beliefs and negative thoughts about math, even when they have been embedded into your brain since childhood, is through subliminal messages. You have to completely reprogram how your mind perceives math. You have to make it think more positively about the numbers and the figures to prevent them from evoking any negative thoughts instantly in your head.

Before you can turn them positive, you have to remove the negative thoughts in your head first. The only way to do this is through subliminal programming. You can do this by seeking subliminal materials designed to remove the anti-math thoughts lurking in your subconscious and replace them with positive ones.

3. Dont think of it as math. So if math is not confusing and scary, then what is it? What positive thoughts about math will help you face the challenge more easily and confidently? Heres one good way of looking at it:

Because of the countless students who have suffered poor marks in the subject math, the word itself sometimes has a negative connotation for people. But when it comes to the real world, what comes in handy is not the subject itself but the concepts behind it.

What makes math so confusing are the numbers and all the figures. What you dont realize is that its not always about the numbers and the figures. Math is the art of problem solving. It is not scientific; rather, it is logical. Its not always about following the formulas.

Math problem solving is just like other types of problem solving. Identify the problem and look for a solution. The formulas are just ways to get the most elegant solutions to the problems, but theyre not the only solutions.

This way, you can just think that:

I am a logical thinker.
I find ways to solve problems.
I am challenged by problems positively.
I find problems as positive motivations.

And you will soon have a fresher outlook on math.

4. Subliminal learning. If you want to re-learn math with your newly reprogrammed mind, you dont have to go through all those math-hating days in your high school and university life again. You can simply re-learn math, and the easiest way to do this without spending time and effort away from your business and your current life is through subliminal learning.
