If you're asking yourself this same question today, read the rest of this post VERY carefully.
Here's the reality, What's holding you back isn't what you're DOING it's what you're THINKING. The thoughts you're having about yourself and your business, day after day, hour after hour minute after minute are having a PROFOUND effect on your results. I'm not kidding, when I changed my thoughts EVERYTHING changed. And they can for you, too!
5 Thoughts That Will Set You Back This Year
Here are 5 particularly harmful thoughts that will set you back BIG TIME this year.
1. "I don't have the time!"
Nonsense. Sure you're busy we're ALL busy. Here's what I've learned about time, it's NOT how much time you have. It's how you MANAGE YOURSELF through time. Even on my busiest day, I was able to do at least ONE thing for my business, even if it was only reading a few lines in a Personal Development book. Think that's not enough? If you do at least 1 thing for your business EVERY day this year, you'll be SHOCKED at the results.
2. "I need the money"
Everyone loves the money that comes with making sales and acquiring new team members. But the minute you put the sale in front of helping someone, your business will be in BIG trouble. There's a VIBRATION you put out when you're sole purpose is to make money it's a negative feel that will subconsciously drive people away. They'll see it in your eyes or hear it in your voice and they'll run away FAST. Replace "I need a sale today" with "I need to find someone to help today" and watch the magic happen!
3. "I'm not ready..."
Understand this, NO ONE is ever 100% ready for anything!
If you keep thinking that you're not ready, you will become paralyzed with self doubt and fear. The only cure for "I'm not ready" is "Ready or not, here I go!" Try replacing this thought with it's negative cousin and see what happens this year!
4. "Who would listen to me?"
Wow, this was one of my favorites! Who am I to lead anyone? I don't know enough yet! Yet here's the reality, if you don't show up as a leader, then your prophecy will come true. NO one will follow you. You MUST lead, even when you think you're not worthy because there will ALWAYS be someone who knows less than you. There will always be people who need your help. LEAD and success will find you!
5. "I'd get those results, too if..."
Envy is an ugly monster. When you start comparing yourself to other marketers, when you become envious of their results... NOTHING positive comes out of it. Your path is unique. You simply cannot compare yourself to anyone else and besides you have NO idea what that person went through to get those great results. Perhaps they've struggled mightily and this is the culmination of their efforts. We all have our own success path to follow.
Don't be envious of others be GRATEFUL! Thank them for being yet another example of how SUCCESS is POSSIBLE and know that if you keep doing the right things consistently in your business, soon YOU will be the one with the results!
