Is Fear Holding You Back From Your Peak Potential?

So is fear holding you back from your peak potential?

Do you suppose people are afraid to put money into a business because they think they will lose it? Have I got it correct? People will research on the web, ask their friends, and will use these excuses why not to get started. They are focused on fear, not success. Fear attracts more fear. Focus on success and you will attract success. You get what you focus on.

Perhaps some people are "tire kickers" anyway but if you are focused on the money, not the potential, you should be changing the way you look at it. Perhaps if you ask yourself what if this will work for you? Do you see yourself in that role? Be truthful to yourself.

The way you view yourself changes everything about your potential!

Also, are you looking for a reason to get started or a reason NOT to get started. Basically, if you are approaching any business looking for a reason not to get started then you will find your answer. You can find something negative in everything. So don't let the excuse of being afraid hold you back. Decide to find a business that works for you, and you will have success in life because you are moving forward toward your goal and not holding yourself back.

Feel confident in your decision in becoming an entrepreneur! Being an entrepreneur is really just a series of making decisions! Think about it. Every day you are making decisions towards your goals or away from them. It is pretty simple. So ask yourself when making decisions, "Is this taking me towards my goal or away from my goal." How does your answer feel to you. Does it feel right? Don't live your life with fear. Life your life getting what you came here for!

So don't let fear hold you back from your peak potential.

Success Does Not Depend On Your Marital Status

Do successful women need to be married? Is it a man's world out there and women can't succeed in business and even worse, an unmarried one at that?

I probably would have believed other women at one time if they told me that they are having difficulty in the business world because they are single. That people can't understand why a women is single and not married, what is wrong with her. I would believe like so many others that you are right, society is to blame.

So what was it that really helped me realize that women hold themselves back from success. I read a book by author Lisa Jimenez called "Don't Mess With a Princess" which gave me much insight into what labels we place on ourselves as women. For me, being a mother at one time made me feel that to be successful I would be compromising my ability to raise children.

Ladies, if you at any point don't consider yourself first a woman who can be whoever you want to be then it will be difficult for you to convince anyone else! If you are blaming society then you are focused on the belief that society's opinion of yourself counts higher than your own. The truth is that your own opinion of yourself is what counts. You get what you focus on.

Labels we place upon ourselves are only labels that hold you back. Let go of your belief to fight, to struggle, to be right. Forgive yourself about their opinions and don't focus on it. You get what you focus on. You may say, but Michelle, "I am focused but society won't let me be who I want to be". I say that by focusing on why society is not happy with your marital status is just going to get you more of what you are thinking about. Always focus on what it is you want. Don't focus on your present situation but focus on what the solution or what it is you desire to be. By releasing yourself from the present situation you now are moving forward towards your goals, regardless of your marital status.

Now the part about women and men working alongside together I truly believe is possible. This topic is covered wonderfully in the book, "Don't Mess With A Princess" by Lisa Jimenez. It is a must read if you are climbing the corporate ladder!

Remember that whatever you choose in life to do, life is supposed to be fun. So go ahead and be everything you desire. Don't hold yourself back from success because you are single.

Is The Learning In The Doing?

Is the learning in the doing? So what does that actually mean? How can you do something if you don't know how or even worse afraid of what someone will think?

Let me show you an example of what it is I mean. If you have never tasted chocolate before it would be very difficult for me to explain it to you without your tasting it. The process of doing is how we learn, grow, and achieve results. You may not have to do a whole lot to get the process started but you do have to take that first step.

On the weekend I attended a conference which had the International Best Seller "Bob Proctor" on stage. This is my second sitting of his remarkable teachings. The second time was very valuable to me as I once again took notes and viewed the screen. He flowed for 2 hours a very realistic and powerful set of principles for achieving success. Repetition is very essential in the learning. I needed to hear him speak and soak his words in once again. The doing for me is to write down his words, it helps one get gold nuggets out of his session. So if you get the chance to see Bob Proctor, enjoy the opportunity!

Another thing, in Bob Proctor's book, "You Were Born Rich" something he mentioned struck me very strongly. He said "So, regardless of what I, or anyone else, might say, you are going to have to prove these ideas for yourself."

Pretty powerful words. Read it again and come to the understanding that you are going to have to prove to yourself that you are a success! You are going to have to show to the world who you really are, reveal yourself without worry of what anyone else thinks. Just imagine if you really let go and did what you needed to do to get the job done --you would not fail. It is only you who holds yourself back because of worry of what others will think.

Let me point something out to you that was explained to me by my husband, Warren. If I were in a room full of 100 people and I had the chance to meet them all for the first time, all 100 people would have a different opinion of who I am. So it would not matter what I said or did, I cannot control the thinking of 100 people! The only opinion of yourself that counts is your own! It does not matter what others are thinking about because you cannot control their thoughts! Cannot be done. Rulers have tried it and failed. You are the master of your own thoughts.

This is your life, not theirs! So go ahead and do whatever it is you want to do and you will learn from it. You will truly expand your potential, your confidence, your belief, as learning by doing is how we all should go about it. By going for it you feel great. You now know what it feels like to do it! By doing we are growing, learning, that is the only way. Words alone do not teach.

Tip for Success

What is the tip for success? How about this question, "Who do I blame for my failures?" Any idea? Or what about "Who do I blame for my success?"

The answer is right in front of you in the mirror. You. You are totally in control of your life whether or not you realize it. Wake up. If you have tremendous success it is because you decided to have it. If you have tremendous failures in your life it is because you have decided to have it. It is that simple.

So what is the next step? FORGIVENESS. The game of life is not called the Blame Game. To forgive yourself is the most important part of life. Move on. Every day you have an opportunity to forgive yourself about what you did or did not do. Don't need to rehash it over and over again. What is really important is that you move forward and not dwell in past experiences.

What about other people? Forgive them too! If you are remembering an argument that even perhaps happened a long time ago and the other person is long dead, LET IT GO. It is only you who is looking backwards. Is that how successful people think? Successful people in the game of life think forwards, think about now, think about where they want to go. By blaming others is focusing on yesterdays of your life. The energy of negative thinking keeps you on a downward spiral.

By forgiving EVERYONE in your life you release and become free. You are no longer carrying a burden and you are permitting yourself to move forward, since afterall, you are the only one holding yourself back. Forgiveness is the release. To achieve success forgive, learn, let it go and move forward!

What Is Law Of Attraction?

So what is exactly Law of Attraction?

The basic concept is "like attracts like". You reap what you sow. In the end, for example movies, the good guy gets the girl. There are many well known authors who know of this concept. For example, Napoleon Hill, Michael Losier, and Bob Proctor to name a few.

So what if life really is like in the movies. You can write your own ending. Wouldn't that be cool? What if I told you Law of Attraction is like that. You create your own day to day drama of your life. You are living today are you not? You are creating your day right now. Law of Attraction is working for your right here right now whether or not you know it is or not. It is best right NOW to be aware about what it is you are getting so that you can change what tomorrow brings and the next day and the next day. See where I am getting at? Keep working on yourself. It takes practice, that is all, just keep practicing.

So from now if you are being the person who gets everything, act like it. Be wonderful and happy. That is truly how you would feel anyway when it all works out for you in the end. So if you are happy and feel truly wonderful then it will be a wonderful life. It is law. By setting forth a positive outlook to the story you are living will start a new momentum in your life. You are being exactly who you really want to be and you feel good about it.

An example, is in your job. Enjoy the fact that you have a job and that you are helping others. When you lead by example that life is worth living you start to see an answer to your problems. You are no longer reaping weeds, you are setting down seeds that will produce a wonderful crop. But it starts right NOW with you BEING the person who is happy. It starts with you seeing yourself at the end of the movie.

I heard once it was told this way. If you saw the ending of a movie or read an ending of a book before you saw or read it you know how it ends. So when you do watch the movie from the beginning you know how it will end and the "drama" is taken out of the equation. You are not caught up in the flow of it, because you know how it ends. I find that if you focus on the end and not get caught up in today, you are setting down good seeds for the crop. If you're only focused on the negative stuff around you today you are only planting weeds.

Science has shown us that positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative. Very simple stuff. Radio waves on a certain frequency cannot be picked up on a different frequency as another example. When you start your day feeling lousy, it only gets worse. Often when you let your angry emotions boil out of you, you often break something as a result. Turn it around. Find something of value in your day that you feel good about and start from there. It only takes one candle to add light to a dark room. One flower can brighten up someones day. Compliment as many people as you can and see the positive result from your action. You will truly FEEL wonderful and happy and now you have set down seeds that will grow!

Law of Attraction is knowing that you will have a great ending to the drama of today, all you have to do is take the little step of acting like it is, believing that you are already there, enjoying your day regardless, and the Universe has guaranteed the ending. So act happy and wonderful all day long and in a very short time you will see your positive results. You are now in control of your life using the Law of Attraction.

Are Your Habits Holding You Back From Financial Success?

Are your habits holding you back from financial success?

Financial success is actually one decision away. If you think about it, success is only a series of decisions.

Unfortunately, people don’t think for themselves, they just do things out of habit.

I discovered that most of the time I was not even aware of what I was doing from moment to moment? I discovered that all day long I do things that are actually habits. I rarely made decisions, just habits all day long. I had to ask myself how often during the day do I really make a decision? I was just doing the thing without thinking about it, without really being present. So am I really heading towards financial success if I am not making any decisions? No. Decisions take you either toward your financial success or away from it.

So what I realized is that by my not making decisions I am not moving forward, nor am I gaining any experience in decision making. It is said in the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill that to make decisions quickly and change your mind slowly is actually the best way to go about achieving financial success. What I understand from this ideal, is that most of us have to “think about” before we act. And then...after we have heard or discussed with others we decide not to do it. Not to take the risk. Play it safe. Or if we do act, we let others change our minds quickly and do not hold onto our own true desire. We let others take us out!

I for instance would ask others for their opinion, but ultimately I have to decide on my own and stay true to myself. What is it I truly desire? I should actually be making decisions on my own, trust my own instincts. At the end of the day, I have to live with it. It is easy to ask others to answer for you but was I really taking responsibility!

I now make all my own decisions. Trust your inner “you”. The habit of existing is not making you feel uncomfortable, not allowing you to grow. By feeling anxious, excited, these emotions I feel allow me to realize I am ALIVE. Perhaps you feel a little unsure. See what happens when you make a decision. I found that I feel relief after making the decision.

A tip I recommend to help take little steps toward making big decisions is to start right now with making decisions, not acting out of habit! We all have habits that we are not even aware of. A habit is to put your watch on your left wrist. Michael Losier author of “Law of Attraction” shared this aspect with us at a conference. He suggested you put your watch on the other wrist. Now you are breaking a habit. Every time you look at your watch you are reminded because you will look at the wrong wrist. See how this reminds you are only existing, and not making decisions. Walking the same hallways, same parking spots, are examples of all the same boring habits that make up your day. Mix things up a little. Do stuff differently. Have fun with breaking habits.

So start right now taking little steps of breaking habits and teach yourself confidence and trust in your own ability to making decisions about what it is you want. Teach yourself that life is fun and learn to feel good about yourself. Now ask yourself, "Are your habits holding yourself back from financial success?"
