Breaking your Mental Viruses!
If you are not getting real success at work or in business, can it be that your belief system is holding you back? Is your lack of money is creating so much STRESS that it has impaired your health? A lack of success is perceived because your competitors or colleagues are scaling new heights and you don’t; or that your business or career is not growing like what you think it should. However, instead of a set of empowering beliefs and a can-do attitude, you are negative and highly stressed out. You work yourself to the bone, believing that hard work is the answer, or you have spent hundreds of dollar on “How to Do” marketing Seminars and tools – Yet, back home after a while the Upbeat-Motivational feelings fade away, you are back complaining that you are not earning enough and worse, if your results continue to be poor, you proclaim yourself to be a total failure!
Obviously, feeling positive about work, is not enough to attract success. Empowering thoughts and beliefs are not as effective, if you do not first clear the current installation of your limiting ones. Just imagine your mind as a huge processing computer. The analogy of a mental virus has often been used to illustrate a thought that is toxic, causing you stress, discomfort and can eventually cause you a breakdown in health. Hence, you need to first delete, in your mind, the old infected software that has been preventing you from getting optimal results.
We don’t always have the inner workings of the mind to identity limiting thoughts and beliefs, yet we often seen these as the main obstacles that stand in the way of success. The need to make difficult sales calls, marketing proposals, dealing with the occasional irate customers, providing a quality product and good service are challenges in their own right but if we can conquer how our minds work, we can overcome a lot of difficulties brought about by work.
A Checklist of Mental Viruses
Do you have any that are limiting your work success?
- Although I think my services are worth more, I am afraid that my customers will not pay.
- Although I think my work is valuable, I dare not ask for more from my employers.
- This is the only way to do business because all other competitors are doing it this way.
- I am not as capable as my competitor or colleague.
- My competitors have all the luck and I don’t.
- Opportunities are hard to come by.
- I am not good enough.
- I am not a good salesperson.
- I cannot smooth talk.
- I do not have the necessary qualifications and experience to do well.
- Only hard work can help me or my business make more money.
- If I do well, I will lose all my friends.
- My business or I don’t need to be that successful.
- It’s good enough to survive.
- I don’t want to be too successful because my relatives and friends will want to borrow money.
- It’s too difficult to sell.
- It’s too tough to grow my business.
On the first look above, you may think that the list contains many points applying to the instance if you’re in business or in sales. However, as I see it, any job that you are in right now, is equivalent to being in the business. You are in the business of marketing and promoting yourself. Even if you are not in a front line job, you still need to compete for a promotion, prove to your boss and survive in the work environment.
Admittedly, many of these thoughts exist at the subconscious level. Hence, you may not even be aware that they may be blocking your path to success at work or in your business. I use a Kinesiology technique to determine if they exist.
