How Limiting Beliefs Affect Your Success

The principle of the Law of Attraction states that what you focus on, you will attract. Therefore if you are focusing on something negative, you will attract more negativity into your life. If you are focusing on positive, then you will bring more positive into your life. When you have tried to focus on something positive, do you feel that it worked for you? Did you end up achieving your goals? Everything you do is either about expansion, and allowing, or about constriction, and restricting. Consider your desire to grow your business. Is it expansive or constrictive?

Does Fear Prevent You from Taking the Steps to Grow Your Business

Balance. That is a powerful word. It is an empowering way to live. For many this is easier said than done. We all have an inner voice we hear as we go through the day. What tone of voice does your inner voice have, supportive or critical? Which part of you is louder, your ego or your intuition? Are you able to tell the difference? Are you more comfortable being in your head and thinking things through or do you tend to go with your gut and instinct? Your ego is self protective and typically fearful. The typical response is fight, flight or freeze.

You were able to be whoever you wanted to be. As you got older, there were more influences in your life. Some of them were very limiting and narrowed your scope of possibilities.

Primarily to position them, in their eyes, as “been there, done that.” Those are the uncoachable athletes. The need to look good is interfering with their potential to be excellent.

Finding the Right Fit with a Mastermind Group to Propel You to Success

One thing which really increases the chance of long term success is having a support system. Typically when you think about your support system you will think about the people closest to you and whether they “are there for you” or not. So often I see clients say they want to grow their practice, but don’t have a support system. The people who are closest to them are the very ones encouraging them not to change. It was okay when your business was seen as a “hobby” and did not interfere with other parts of your life.

Insights Into the Law of Substitution - The Power of Saying “Yes” to You

Humans, by nature, are masters at saying the word “no.” We are conditioned to focus on the negative. Survival of the fittest. We learned about danger and what “not to do” in order to avoid extinction. Many of the tools and coping skills we developed as hunters and gatherers does not apply to the world we live in today. Living at that time was dangerous. They had to always be on the defensive. The primitive parts of our brains, which focus on survival needs, have not caught up to the age of technology. Many people continue to live in a place of lack with the glass half empty.
