The words we use in our minds are very powerful and shape the world around us. That’s why it’s absolutely crucial that we take notice of the things that we say to ourselves and the people around us.
We often ask ourselves the wrong questions in life.
When will I find financial success? Why does this always happen to me? Is a high-performance lifestyle the right fit for me?
Sound familiar? It shouldn’t. You need to be very careful to pick the questions that you ask yourself. What you should be saying is,
Who do I need to become to be financially successful?
We coach hundreds if not, thousands of people every single year. Not everybody that I’ve coached over the years has gone on to become successful. Now, that’s not based on the information that they’re being taught, because they’re receiving the same coaching, consulting and mentorship that others have received and gone on to achieve.
How can it work for some people but not work for others? This ultimately comes down to who we are.
We could have two people selling the same product to the same group of people. One goes on to create an abundance of wealth, while the other remains pennyless, in doubt and scratching their head wondering, “Why does this always happen to me?”
The difference between the successful person and unsuccessful person is who they are, or, who they need to become.
Repeating the same processes and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity.
A lot of us want to remain exactly who we are.
We want to remain in exactly the same position because it’s comfortable.
Even the negative parts of our life, we’re attached to feelings of stress, sadness or even the process of scrounging around for the drawers for cash at the end of the month, we can feel attached to these parts of our life because it’s what we are so used to, a lot of the time this is subconscious.
How can we expect to change our lives without changing who we are?
Not changing our friends, habits and most importantly, our mindset.
I’m sorry to be the one that has to tell you this but, you can’t remain exactly who you are and expect different results.
Find out who you need to become.
