Get your foot off the break.
Are you driving down the road of life with one foot on the break? It seems absurd... but most people are. If you look at the lives of most highly successful people, there is a point at which they get very uncomfortable with being successful and they self-sabotage without even being aware of what they are doing. It comes to a point where you might not feel like you deserve everything you've achieved. It's almost part of the process... but some people's foots are jammed so hard on the break there are barely going anywhere. And it all comes down to the questions you are asking. Did you know, the inventor of Sticky Notes was actually trying to create a permanent glue when he had his “failure”? But instead of thinking of it as his failure, he asked a good question, “What could this be used for?” That simple process made him a fortune. You want better answers? Then ask better questions... Like, “Why do I want to go into business?” If the answer is to make money... well then yeah, you're one job is maximum profits to shareholders (you)... But you'll get to where you want to go much quicker if you also want to help other people solve their problems. Because ultimately... That's what business is all about: elegant solutions to difficult problems. I won't bore you with the Law of Attraction stuff or affirmations. In fact, affirmations are missing one little key piece of the puzzle... They aren't congruent. What I mean is: you can't consciously trick your subconscious mind into accepting something as true. By saying something like, “I am rich” over and over, you're only lying to yourself... and that's deadly for a marketer. You need to be intimately aware of how people really are, how they act when nobody is watching and what motivates them... In other words: totally tuned into reality. Instead of lying to yourself... Simply ask the right questions. See, your subconscious mind is like a search engine. And what are you doing when you put a keyword into Google? Essentially you're asking a question, right? Our mind is like Google except millions of times more powerful and it manifests your answers in the reality around you. For example, if I ask you, “Why is the sky blue?” You have no choice but to search for an answer, it's an automatic function of the subconscious. So what do you think will happen to someone asking himself disempowering questions like, “Why am I so broke?” You're right... He's going to be broke. Instead, if you ask yourself, “Why am I so wealthy?” Your mind is going to search for the answer and assume it's already the case, therefor manifesting wealth around you. You can use presupposition questions like this to program your subconscious for success. It's a great way to breakthrough those roadblocks that are holding your progress back. You could have limiting beliefs from decades ago sabotaging you... and you might not even know it. It's really not your fault. I mean, you weren't taught any of this in school. In fact, I don't think there's a traditional school in the world that will teach you anything you need to make it. These limiting beliefs have a lot do with what you associate pain and pleasure to (the two motivating factors). For instance, with money, most people associate both pain and pleasure to it. Here's how: most people think money will bring them freedom and to live the life they want on their own terms... At the same time they also associate pain with having to work very hard long hours to get wealth, having their friends and family ridicule their new wealth, being greedy and evil (it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a need than it is for a rich man to get into heaven). Then it's no wonder more of us aren't wealthy... And why we have such charged opposite emotions about money. It's like we're being pulled in two directions away from each other over the same subject. This is the recipe for disaster and emotional turmoil. So you should ask yourself, “What are my limiting beliefs about money?” And more importantly... “Why do I give myself permission to succeed?” You can see how this is an elegant solution to a hard problem. You don't have to actively search for answer, your subconscious mind will do it for you automatically and then manifest it in your life. But when you are using natural forces, they run on nature's time. Meaning, you wouldn't plant a seed in the ground, water it and come back the next morning looking for a tree. Work the system, work with your own subconscious mind in harmony and let nature to its course. Okay, enough with the esoteric stuff already you're saying. That's fine. I know it's not for everybody but it can really supercharge your progress if you use it right. Now onto the real juicy stuff...r
