Breakthrough Limiting Beliefs

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

All the knowledge and education in the world will not help you if you don’t get your fears and beliefs in order. Jamie McIntyre young Australian millionaire has followed Anthony Robbins teachings successfully taking himself from homeless and in debt to a successful businessman, investor and wealth coach.

Anthony Robbins has stated ‘Belief is the main determinant of your wealth and success‘. Robbins has come to believe this through his own experiences as well as from his encounters with thousands of people through his years as a personal development coach. Believing that you can ‘achieve wealth and success’ is not a whimsical notion but rather the beginning of knowledge that becomes conviction of some well known truths, that if you follow some proven strategies you will get the desired results.

Fear of loss or failure can prevent us from moving forward, risking what we already have for something we don’t yet have or cannot see can be immobilising, this is where belief comes in. If you believe you can have something better, if you can convince your subconscious by creating emotion and excitiment around your goal the fear of loss can be overcome.

If you have been striving to achieve but have yet to reach your goal you will most likely need to examine what actions you have been taking so far and make some adjustments. Consider the following and take some steps towards them now…

  1. Write down four things you need to do but keep putting off.
  2. Under each one write the answer to this question. ‘Why haven’t I done this? What pain have I associated to this?’
  3. Write down what pleasure you get by using the above reason to stop you from completing the task.
  4. Write down what it will cost you by continuing to put off the above task. This usually involves more than just money.
  5. Write what pleasures will result if you completed the task.

Remember that your fears and beliefs have come from your interpretation of past experiencse, successful people have come to realise that the past does not equal the future.

Anthony Robbins has stated some key truths that must be understood if you are going to break through limiting belief barriers:

  • New experiences only trigger change if they cause us to question our beliefs.
  • When we believe something we no longer question it in any way.
  • If you question anything enough, you’ll eventually begin to doubt it.
  • A conviction eclipses opinion and belief, due to the different emotional intensities we link to an idea.

Have a powerful day

The Success Toolkit

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Once you have decided to be successful get into the habit of using these tools to back you up.

  1. Monitor your progress,
  2. Keep track of all your great ideas,
  3. Clear the clutter in your head,
  4. Keep a checklist,
  5. Reward yourself,
  6. Give yourself a push.
These are not difficult tools to use, individually they will benefit and add to your success progress but used together they can have tremendous power.

1. Keeping records: Keeping a record of what you’re doing so you can track your progress can be a great learning tool helping you determine the strategies that work best for you. Keeping a record of what decisions you make and why, your actions, thoughts, observations and results in particular situations will provide you with some valuable sign posts. Making use of all the information you gather will take you from strength to strength on your path to success and help you make wiser and quicker decisions in the future.

2. Record great ideas: Often when your mind is focused on a routine task such as cleaning or driving amazing thoughts and ideas can develop, if you can have a mini recorder handy these ideas won’t be lost in the chaos and distractions of your day. It’s been said everyone has at least one great idea in their lifetime that could make them rich, at least give yourself the opportunity to remember yours. It’s a great way to keep track of your ideas so record or write them down and expand on them later. By doing this you have taken the first step in the creation of your idea but remember to follow through with action.

3. Clear the clutter: Another excellent tool is to keep a notepad or journal and pen by your bed and first thing in the morning write 3 pages of whatever thoughts pop into your head. This practice is great for clearing out the clutter and frustrations that have been on your mind clouding your thinking. It’s important not to think when you are doing this process, just write down whatever comes out, your channels of creativity will be opened and clear for a creative day. These pages are not for sharing or even for rereading they are just an avenue for releasing pent up thoughts and frustrations so your mind is free and clear.

4. Keep a checklist: There is so much to do everyday and so much going on, it can sometimes be very easy to neglect the small things. Each individual thing may not appear to have a great affect on the overall picture, collectively though they will have a major impact. This is why it’s important to pay attention and to ensure that you follow through on all your tasks to a high standard without shortcuts no matter how small. Imagine if you did everything you needed to do to take a trip, booked and paid, packed your clothes and got to the airport on time but left your passport at home. Just one forgotten or overlooked task could ruin the whole journey. So before you start each day, week, month or year make a checklist and systematically work your way through it.

5. Reward yourself: A great motivating tool is to set rewards for completing each major task you accomplish, rewards will give you something to strive for. Even the smallest tasks can be rewarded with little things to keep motivated and at the end of your goal a bigger reward has been earned, so do something special and include others if you can. These rewards will inspire you and give you extra incentive to continue to achieve. Just make sure you don’t give in early, only treat yourself when you’re happy with your efforts. It will mean so much more, you feel great and subconsciously it will tell your mind that you are doing things right and should carry on.

6. Give yourself a push: Occasionally it’s a good idea to give yourself an extra push you may be surprised just how much more you are capable of. Often when I go for a run and am nearing the end I change the finishing line and focus on another point not too far ahead, then just before I reach it I move the line a little bit further again and maybe even again. Yes, I am a bit more tired but I have managed to cover a much greater distance than I originally thought I could. Just think how much more you could achieve if you just moved your finishing line a little bit further away.

These are not difficult tools to use, individually they will benefit and add to your success progress but used together they can have tremendous power.

Have an awesome day

Climbing the Ladder of Success

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Are you climbing the ladder of success?

Can you relate to the meaning behind this well known phrase?

photo_9998_20091118Climbing a ladder takes effort and you must take one step at a time, you don’t take one or two steps and then you’re there, it’s a progression to the top. Each step gives you a foundation to take the next step, miss one and you could be in trouble. If you’re going to get to your goal you have to take every step, climb all the way to the top, going halfway, in all liklihood, will take you no where. But if you have taken any step at all, if you have taken your feet off the ground then you are definately getting closer, don’t give up all you need to do is follow the steps laid out before you and you will make it.

Og Mandino’s book, University of Success (1982), Lesson 29 by Cavett Robert  teaches three rules that will help you on your climb up the ladder.

  1. Know what you are doing.
  2. Love what you are doing.
  3. Believe in what you are doing.

Today we are going to cover step 1:-

Know what you are doing.

We have to realise to be successful we need to be constantly increasing our knowledge base. You can never stop and say ‘That’s it I know enough’ or ‘I know it all’, and you should certainly never think it. The economy is constantly changing, workers in almost every field are continually needing to be retrained.

Have we not experienced, so many times, some bit of information that was right yesterday has turned out to be wrong today. It can be tiring to realise that what you have already learned no longer applies. Knowledge keeps evolving and we must keep up or be left behind we must run just to stand still (University of Success, p293). Success is an ever changing, ever evolving journey that we must be involved in by moving forward, by readjusting our destination. By being prepared to keep on learning we continue to grow, we continue to live, otherwise we have begun to die.

Learn all you can about the industry you are in and the areas where you want to succeed the most, whether it’s your job, business or your relationships be willing to learn, to grow and to change to keep moving one steady step at a time up the ladder.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “The older I get the more I realise that there is but one wealth, one security, on this earth and that is found in the ability of a person to perform a task well and first and foremost this ability must start with knowledge.”

So whatever tool you are using to create wealth learn your craft well and be prepared to keep learning.

Todays Power Thought

I am climbing the ladder of success and my income continues to exceed my expectations.

Repeat this to yourself several times today.
