The thing that's holding you back

Ever ponder what your life would be like if you only had ______? Ever get that feeling as if you actually had_____? You know what I'm talking about. That feeling that you get when you take ownership. The excitement you have when you see yourself "there". The Goose bumps you get when you finally "do". Funny thing really... You don't actually need what you think need to make yourself feel the way want to when you actually have it. Even more profound, ever get something you really want and find you're not as excited about it after you get it? Isn't it odd how emotions work?

How is this relevant to holding you back? It can be explained in one simple belief- It's not what you don't have that holds you back. It's what you think you need that holds you back.

I need to have a college degree to be successful.
I need a lot of money to start a business
I need a fancy car to feel important
I need the economy to be just right

I can go on but are any of these true? Absolutely not! If they're not true, then why do we put so much stock into these things? Simple -its socially accepted. Maybe not by you  and defiantly not by me, but it's the norm. Even worse; most people will tell you these things just to hold you back so you are not as successful as them- Sad, I know.  It's the everyday thinking that most people have. But you don't want to be like most people and neither do I!
How do we change this limiting belief?

First - Take an inventory of ALL your assets. I expect you already know where you're going or what you want. If not, as soon as you're done reading this contact me right away and we'll get you started.

• These assets include: friends, current knowledge, ambition level, character traits, cash on hand & Net worth. Don't let your imagination limit you. Oh, add imagination.
  

Second -List out how all these assets will help you in your current endeavor.

• A friend will turn into a mentor. Knowledge turns into expertise. Character traits makes you more charismatic (or less, you may need to work on some). Cash on hand gets you inventory & supplies. Net worth gets you loans. That imagination gets you anything

Next-Take those assets and put them in the right place.

• You may want to give friends a job. You may want to give money a job. This is where you need to be a leader not a manager. A manager knows how to do a job right, a leader knows the right job to do. If you're not sure what the right job to do  is, seek a mentor - it's the single best way to keep you on track. A good mentor is the key to rapid growth and success.

Now - Take action by putting these assets to use. Not just a little-but Massive Action! You want big results don't you? Well it's not going to happen by doing a little at a time. Don't list all these amazing tools and keep them in a notebook. That's like taking the ingredients to a cake and leaving them on the table to go bad. if you are not limited by your beliefs then there is nothing stopping you.
