Setting yourself up for success.

I took some time last night to listen to a Tony Robbin’s interview with John Reese, the internet marketer who made a million dollars in one day. Fascinating story! One of the major keys to his success was his mindset. Wanting more from life was not enough. He had to solidly believe he was capable of hitting that mark.

In my own business, it is not enough for me to want to be highly successful and reach thousands. I have to nurture a solid image of that reality in my mind. My self-image must support my dreams in order for them to become my future.

Our success or failure is a self-fulfilling prophecy. According to Tony Robbins, the mindset is cyclical. Your image of self is the point from which you determine your potential. Your perceived potential drives you to a certain level of action. That level of action produces a result. And the result you experience reinforces your belief or self-image. So if you have a low self-image, you will perceive yourself to have limited potential, which will lead to low action, producing poor results. The results will stand to reaffirm your original belief, and so on. Limited thinking will produce limited success.

The power begins with your perception of self. What do you spend the majority of your time thinking about when it comes to your potential? Your thoughts create your words, and your words create your reality. You are in complete control of the future you will experience. If you can’t see it, talk openly about it, and embrace it with emotion it will not manifest in your life. So what do you really want your life to look like?

I challenge you to begin thinking about what it is you really want; become aware of whether your thoughts support this with certainty; if not, then begin the process of making your desire bigger than your limiting self beliefs. Be aware of the power you have to elicit change in your life. The image that emanates from deep within your soul will be the driving force in creating your future. Create with intention!

Thank you for reading and be well.
