Take out the trash!!

Take the trash out!

                  You read personal development books EVERYDAY.  You listen to personal development audios in the car on your way to work, in the gym, everywhere.  It would be safe to say you’re a personal development junkie.  You’ve read every single book that has to do with that field and listened to the audios as well.  You attend a few live seminars each year but something is missing.  Financially you’re not where you would like to be.  You still drive the same car, still live with your parents, and still don’t have a bank account to brag about to your friends.  But in your mind you’re personally developed so it’s bound to happen to you right.  You always think positive and you feel like it’ll be my turn soon enough.  Then one day you’re surfing the internet and the same people who you helped with personal development are now where they want to be financially yet your still stuck.

                So does that sound like someone you know or most importantly is that YOU?  I development myself daily yet my situation is still the same, WHY AM I STILL IN THE SAME SITUATION, you ask yourself.  So why are you in a financial rut? 

                When I first started reading personal development books I was hooked, I couldn’t believe all this information that I was learning.  I was so excited because I was finally going to get rich in no time with all this new found knowledge that I had.  Years past by yet I was still in the same point financially before I started trying to develop myself.  Actually I was a little bit poorer because I kept buying every single book, audio or attend a live seminar.   All those things made me feel good about me and where I was headed but reality would kick right back in when I looked at my bank account and my living situation.

                So I was looking for an answer.  Could personal development just be a scam and that all these so called gurus just made their money from people like myself because we kept buying their stuff.   There was a live event near my area so I decided I might as well check it out because it wasn’t too expensive and I told myself if I don’t get anything out of this then I’ll try in the towel on this stuff called personal development.  That seminar was the greatest I’ve ever went to because I learned ONE single thing that has changed my thinking and my business.  I had finally learned the number one secret that all leaders have and how I can achieve it as well if I just did this ONE thing.

                THAT one thing was it’s not always what you learn that helps you but it’s what kind of trash you take out of your head.  You must remove the limiting beliefs you have in your head in order for the new beliefs that you’ve learned to actually work in your life.  These limiting beliefs are all not our faults.  Growing up as a kid your parents set some of these beliefs on you without even knowing it.  For example money was always an issue in my household.  My parents would always fight about money and my parents would always tell me that money is the root of all evil and that it can’t buy you happiness.  I’m sure you’ve heard all of those growing up as well.  Not only were these beliefs wrong they were getting ingrained in my brain to think the same way.  I was subconsciously thinking like my parents so I acted that way toward money. 

                You must train yourself to remove those old beliefs, take out the trash in your head.  Take notice in your old beliefs.   Write them down, tell yourself these beliefs were ok in your past life but you now want a better life.  Write down what you think of your old beliefs into your new beliefs.  Reward yourself daily with you new set of beliefs.  Remember change your beliefs to change your lifestyle.
