2. The secret to move ahead in life is pretty
simple. It is all about changing limiting
beliefs into empowering ones. If you
are able to do that successfully, there is
no doubt you will be a far happier,
confident and successful person.
3. Beliefs have the power to influence your
outcome and destiny in life. But while
positive beliefs can be extremely
motivating and can help the individual
get far ahead in life, negative beliefs
always work the opposite way by
holding people back and lowering their
self esteem.
5. Changing limiting beliefs is not as hard
as you think it might be. First, tell
yourself that you will do all that it takes
to overcome your negative beliefs; and
this you can do by identifying them in
the first place.
6. There is no point being in denial. If you
have some beliefs that you know is
detrimental to your progress, admit it to
yourself.
7. For instance, you believe it is a bad time
to turn into an entrepreneur because
you think the economy is in bad shape.
That’s the only reason why you are
sticking to a dead end job, even though
you have a great idea that has every
potential of becoming successful.
8. Instead of telling yourself that the time
is not right time to begin your dream
venture, believe that despite the
condition of the economy, there is (and
always will be) space for a great
product or a superior service.
9. Just affirming this will change your entire
perspective. You will find yourself
enthused enough to make an exit route
from your job in order to set up your
venture.
10. Changing limiting beliefs has the power
of igniting your passion. If you are
really passionate about what you want
to do, you will even find that things will
fall in place sooner than later.
12. More often than not, limiting beliefs
remain with an individual because of
either two things... first, there are some
emotional payoffs; and secondly, there
are supportive evidence to their beliefs.
13. Let's cite examples and solutions for
both cases. In the first case (having
emotional payoffs), somebody who is
dying to break out of the mould of
being stuck in a dead end job, may be
stuck to it because he has a family to
support. He has trained himself to
believe that if he does what his heart
desires, he will let down his family.
14. If you can relate to this, the solution is
simple... you’ve got to shed it. If
supporting your family is what you are
worried about, think of a backup plan.
Save up enough for a period of time, so
that you can opt out without the guilt.
15. In the second case (having supportive
evidence to the belief), an individual
may tell himself that there are failures
all around him due to recessionary
pressures so he shies away from the
idea of entrepreneurship.
16. The solution to this dilemma is to
reframe it. For instance, if you are
telling yourself that there have been
other entrepreunial failures, don’t
blame it on the recessionary pressures.
The reason for their failure may have
been due to their inability to think
through their business plan. All you
have to do is make a fool proof
business plan and follow through.
17. It may seem difficult at first, but
following these suggestions can help a
great deal in changing limiting beliefs.
At the end of the day, you will feel
much more empowered, just like a
butterfly who has broken out of a
cocoon and is ready to fly away to enjoy
the wonders that life has to offer ahead!
