…dealing with limiting beliefs!
…dealing with limiting beliefs!
OMG so you have made the exciting choice to become
financially free. The promise of a life where you call the shots and wake up knowing that the bills are covered. Yay
you, go get’em!
Pam and I were exactly where you are now just a few years
ago. We realised that we had a dream and good reasons why we wanted to achieve it.
We had started to feel that the world had changed and the normal, work hard,
build up a pension fund and retire when you are 60/65 had started to sound
hollow.
The reasons to strive for financial freedom are many and
varied. Maybe you have become part of the squeezed middle, or you’re sitting in
a J.O.B that you can’t see yourself doing into your 70’s or simply you want to
spend more time with your family and live a more carefree life? These are all great
motivators to start doing something and to start… Now!
You may now be wondering what to do next and how to fix this
thorny little issue? If so, you are in the right place we are here to help you
start your journey. Maybe, like us, you have made the decision to be
financially free but feel unsure of what to do next or how, little you, could
possibly climb that impossibly high mountain. Don’t worry, we have been there,
we have managed to do it and we are normal people like you.
The good news is that you are now over the first hurdle. You
have recognised the problem and identified the dream situation. All you need to
do is come up with a strategy and deal with the issues that arise from trying
to achieve the goal. We are not going to say that this is an easy thing to do,
the road to riches can be long and arduous but the goal is worth pursuing.
In our experience fear can quash the dream before it’s even
had time to get off the starting block. The enthusiasm for starting the journey
can quickly hit a rocky patch simply because doubts start crowding out positivity
and action. We call these fears ‘self-limiting beliefs’. They are well
documented, very common and very normal. They are a battle that, even the seemingly
most confident, people must deal with. Sorry to say, you will have to deal with
them along the way too.
Here is a list of the top 10 limiting beliefs, identified by
psychologists which, lead to crippling action and self-defeating behaviours…..
read them fast so they don’t hurt too much!
OK, hopefully we haven’t put you into a spiral of doubt?
Over the four years Pam and I have worked together we have had to deal with all
ten of these limiting beliefs. They have played with our minds and slowed us
down but they never stopped us. What we have learned is if you power on your
confidence grows, your successes become larger and your horizons brighter. Over
the next few weeks we are going to show you how we and people we know battle
through despite having these limiting beliefs and how they are changing their
lives!
See you next time when we start kicking these limiting beliefs into touch!... before you go, don't forget to sign up for the book '6 Steps to Financial Freedom'...
Bye for now!
Tania & Pam
