This is our last instalment of hints that can stop you dead in your tracks.Not Believing in yourself:A lack of self belief is probably one of the most important elements that can stop you dead in your tracks from creating lifetime wealth. With a lack of self belief, making decisions becomes difficult, taking action becomes filled with fear, not knowing who to listen to becomes a challenge, convincing other people that you have something of value is difficult, finding money for funding becomes difficult ..... and it keeps you thinking small. Besides, it doesn't feel good. Building self-belief comes from moving outside of your comfort zone, at least a little bit every day. It also comes from acknowledging yourself for everything you achieve no matter how small ..... without qualification! When somone says, " You did a good job", do you find your response along the lines of "Oh, it's just my job" or "Well it was easy, anyone could have done it."? That's qualifying. Build your self-belief in yourself today. Even if you already have a high level of self-belief, keep on building your foundation. As you grow, you will find new facets where you feel less confident, so keep on building, and finding those new facets which throw up a challenge for you. It is when we remain completely within our comfort zones that we stop growing. When we encounter challenges, we are expanding and going somewhere. With a clear vision and steadfast focus, you can rest easy that somewhere is where you want to get to. What one step can you take today to make progress toward what you want? Quote: "We must do the things you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt Programming your mind negatively:Even though we may sometimes think that this is not the case, there is one thing over which we have 100% control. What and how we think. We teach ourselves how and what to think, including what we think about ourselves. What someone else thinks of you is really none of your business. Yet we often place more emphasis on what someone else may say to us about our own capabilities. What makes them right and you wrong? Most people don't think twice about taking a negative comment on board, yet they so easily dismiss the positive ones. They take criticism to heart, and leave praise and acknowledgement. They tell themselves off and beat themselves up. They spend little time to encourage themselves and remember the good things. They may try positive affirmations and give up on them becuse they feel like lies, yet they negatively affirm themselves regularly and consistently throughout the day. Is this you? What makes you believe that somone else is more right than you? What makes you believe that they are a better judge than you? What makes you think that the bad stuff is believable, while the good things aren't? You do. So turn the table around and have them be in your favour. Stop programming yourself negatively and start affirming yourself in a positive way, starting now. What one step can you take today to make progress toward what you want? Quote: "We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic." Susan Jeffers Thinking that investing in yourself is a waste of time and money:Income rarely exceeds the person you are. You are the source of your wealth. You are the real and lasting asset that you take with you wherever you go. Money, cars and possessions may all be lost, but as the saying goes, "Wherever you go, there you are." You are your true wealth becuase all money comes from ideas and not the other way around. It is not about being in the right place at the right time, but, being the right person in the right place at the right time. To have more than you currently have, you must become more than you currently are. Invest in yourself. Spend time on personal development and growth, and allocate time for personal reflection. It is the best investment that you can ever make. What one step can you take today to make progress toward what you want? Quote: "If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living." Gail Sheehy Lacking essential knowledge:The first step to creating lifetime wealth is knowing clearly what you want. Then start to study it and become and expert in it. Being an expert helps you command a premium, and build your own self-belief and confidence. It also helps you to make your own informed choices. If you want to make money, study the acquisition of wealth. If you want to be outstanding, study outstanding people.If you want to be an excellent guitarist, study the guitar and other excellent guitarists. If you want to be an outstanding business person, study outstanding business people and their systems. Once you have studied, then practice. This is essential. Many people gather knowledge and then fail to apply it. We get remunerated for our application of our knowledge, not for just having it. Look out for all the different avenues through which you can build your knowledge and expertise. Your knowledge and expertise can come from reflectring on experiences, sharing and learnign from others (for example, having a mentor or being part of a discussion group), books, listening to inspiring information, attending seminars, magazines and many more. Never stop learning and expanding your own knowledge. What one step can you take today to make progress toward what you want? Quote: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." Mahatma Gandhi |
