Positive affirmations may not be something you have given much thought to in the past. But, whenever you think, you are affirming! Whenever you listening to your inner self talk you are affirming!

On a daily, even hourly basis, you are continually affirming to your subconscious thoughts that will eventually become your beliefs. Your subconscious mind has taken these beliefs, ever since your childhood days, and developed them into the person you are today!

Working on autopilot, your subconscious will react to any given situation in accordance to how it has been programmed by your thoughts and beliefs. In other words your affirmations. This can of course be very usefull, you don’t need to constantly stick your hand in a fire to know you will get burnt. You learnt this early on and your subconscious stored this information, so you don’t have to keep re-learning it.

That’s all very well and good! But, what about other bits of information your subconscious stored that are no longer in your best interest. You may have programmed your subconscious with information that is actually working against you now! Beliefs relating to money, health, your self esteem etc.

]]>

Is there a way to reprogramme your subconscious? In a word, yes! Positive affirmations is a simple process that can be quickly and easily learnt, in fact we probably all know at least one positive affirmation that has been around for decades.

“Every day in every way I am getting better and better.” Remember that one? It’s ages old but sums up what a positive affirmation is.

So what is a Positive Affirmation?

Affirmations are short positive statement used to rewrite, or reprogramme, your subconscious mind to overcome a negative area of your life.

For example, let’s say you have make a presentation to some collegues at work. The more you think about it the more nervous you become. You can actually feel the palms of your hands getting hot and sweaty from just thinking of standing in front of your workmates. What you want, is to confidently make a fantastic presentation, getting your points over in a clear and professional manner.

But, all you can think about is how awkward you will feel, how flustered and confused you will be, and how you’ll make a complete mess of the whole thing. And, if that’s what you’re thinking, and keep thinking it, that’s exactly what will happen! But, to overcome this you can make an affirmation of how you want the presentation to be. Something like this!

“I am full of confidence, I speak clearly, my presentation is a huge success!”

Now you are affirming how you want the situation to be. For this to really take effect you have to repeat the affirmation over and over again as often as you can.

Repetition is the key to success where positive affirmations are concerned.

It was simply because I didn’t have enough faith and I wasn’t feeding my brain everyday to have that faith. If I did I could have made decisions that were more inlined with my vision of what I wanted to become.

But How do you develop faith that your gonna succeed? The only proven way to develop faith is through auto-suggestion. Faith is a state of mind that can either be induced or created naturally. Which will develop your subconscious towards having what you want. It will then in turn bring it back to you in the form of faith by having you act with a definite plan of action.

Faith is almost impossible to describe to anyone who doesn’t have it. The reason that is, is because its a state of mind that has been developed with time and describing it would be like describing colors to a blind man.

Napoleon Hill says, “All thoughts which have been emotionalized and mixed with faith begin immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.” In other words, you have to think about what you want first before you will ever have it…

]]>

But this can also work against you, if you think negative or destructive thoughts you will eventually get negative and destructive results. Go figure…

People in our society call this “bad luck” or “”poor me syndrome”…Most of us know people like this. They drag you down every time you get around them, like a disease, whatever they speak immediately corrupts your thought patterns and you begin to fall to their level.

Millions of people do this everyday and thinking it’s something that they have to deal with because it was the hand life dealt to them…Its complete crap! The reason people have bad luck is because of their negative beliefs which then is picked up by their subconscious only to be translated into their reality.

The way successful people get what they want is by “suggesting” to themselves the exact desire or outcome they want to become their reality. Your belief and your faith is exactly what your subconscious needs to get your body eventually into motion to follow through with the habits that will give you your success.

In the book think and grow rich, Napoleon Hill says, “Conduct yourself just as you would if you were already in possession of the material thing which you are demanding.” In normal people terms that means, do what success people do as if you are already successful…

So it can be said that you can develop faith in anything by suggesting to your mind with affirmations that you already have faith. That is why it is so important to feed your mind with positive emotions and push out those destructive negative emotions that you get through out the day.

Then eventually your mind will be dominated by positive thoughts of faith, so when you call upon getting ideas or making a certain situation work,in you business or personal life, your subconscious mind will kick in and give you the action plan you need to get whatever it is you want.

That is exactly what I did! I read an affirmation statement everyday and night. And if Im trying to stretch myself, with a goal, I add to my daily statement so I can program myself to have more faith that I can reach my new goal.

So take action now! Write out exactly what you want, put down that you “deserve success”, you give yourself permission to be successful, and I will do xyz everyday to get it and I won’t give up until I get there.

This is all it takes to start yourself on the right path to your attainment of faith. Don’t give up and keep reading more on these topics everyday.

As a coach, trainer or therapist, you probably have some excellent and valuable niche-specific knowledge which can be packaged up in the form of passive income-creating products (written, audio, video or all three). By researching the needs of your niche carefully (ask prospects what they want) and then producing products which satisfy these needs, you will add value to the marketplace. It’s worth repeating that we get paid in proportion to the value we add to the marketplace. If you want to earn money while you sleep and achieve financial freedom, it’s important to unlearn some of the old habits and replace them with shiny new ones like these:

]]>

1. Start each day by “eating a frog” (Brian Tracey has written a great book with this intriguing title). This is the task that will create most value for your clients, rather than the easiest to do or seemingly most urgent at that moment. In my case right now, it’s writing an article and producing a video. If you’re taking your first steps to financial freedom, it might be writing 4 pages of your free report, eBook or home-study course every day.

2. Segment your working time into 45 minute chunks with a 5 minute break between the first 2 segments and a 30 minute break between the next 2. This new habit has added massively to my productivity and is something gleaned from Tim Ferris’ “The 4 Hour Work Week”. When working in front of a computer, it’s even more important to segment your time properly in order to avoid fatigue and burnout. I use a simple kitchen timer set for 45 minute task segments to stay productive throughout the day.

3. At the end of every day, formulate your “success six” for the following day – the 6 tasks that if you achieve them will compound to produce a massive difference over time. Charles Schwab is reported to have paid Ivy Lee ,000 for this one simple business idea back in the 1920s because it proved such a powerful productivity booster and earned him millions of dollars.

won’t succeed. Often, your efforts won’t bear fruit, but if you truly wish to achieve success

you have to use your past mistakes in order to improve your chances of succeeding.

In any business venture you are going to make a few mistakes. You can use this fact to your

advantage. Take the expression ‘every cloud has a silver lining’. If you take the time to analyse

it, you will find that virtually every cloud has not one, but many silver linings and a few golden

ones (double benefits) thrown in for good measure.

The trick to achieving success in life is to find these ‘linings’ before you get started. Doing this will increase your passion and energy for the job at hand.

So here’s what you should do:-

1. Get yourself a pen and some paper.

]]>

2. Write down on the top of a page what job you would like, or need, to start.

3. List as many reasons as you can, why you should do this job.

4. Next to each of these write down the benefits you will receive as a result of doing them.

E.g. earn more money, improve your lifestyle, learn a new skill etc.

5. Now think of any hidden benefits that are not so obvious. E.g. developing other skills,

making new connections, opening up other opportunities, etc

6. Next, expand on these benefits by writing them so that you can see how they will benefit

you. E.g. I will become more…. or I will be free of…..

7. Finally, re-write the list you have made so that it is in your neatest handwriting. This

will really focus your mind on what you have written.

8. Keep the list you have written handy at all times when doing the job. Refer to it often.

Don’t be frightened to put things down on paper. Simply by distancing yourself in this

way you can tackle anything that comes your way. The mind always seems able to make

things appear harder than they actually are, until they are put down in black and white.

Once you’ve found half a dozen ‘golden linings’ you will become more enthusiastic

about the job. You’ll start to think differently about it. Instead of a mindless chore, it’ll

become an exciting task. A task that nothing will distract you from.

Try this just the once to see what I mean. I am confident it will make a BIG difference

in your efforts to achieve the success in life that you desire.

In America, millions of people work at least 40 to 60 hours a week. They do so because their success beliefs are anchored on the following premises:
Get good grades in school in order to get a good job.

Find a job in a large company or corporation.
Work hard in the office in order to get recognition and a promotion, which entails getting a high salary.
Get the children through school and have enough retirement and pension money.
This formula for success has been tried by millions yet not everyone gets to achieve their goals, at least in financial terms. In fact, some success finance and success gurus question the wisdom of the said formula. They think that there are other ways to attain success without the stress and anxiety of climbing the corporate ladder.
One such guru who questions the effectiveness of the traditional approach is named Robert Kiyosaki. He is an investor, businessman, author, and motivational speaker. He is best known for his book entitled Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In his book, he tackles the two different set of advices he received from his “rich dad” and “poor dad.” According to Kiyosaki, his “poor dad” was a smart and highly educated individual, who, nevertheless, failed to succeed financially. He said that his “rich dad” was not academically inclined but was very street-smart and financially adept. In his book, he also discusses the depression, stress, and anxiety that are encountered by many people who thought that their education and jobs would automatically guarantee financial success.

]]>

Kiyosaki said that one of the most important questions that his “rich dad” asked him is: “Why do you work so hard for something you’ll never own or can never pass on to your children?” That question, said Kiyosaki, somehow leads one to think that having a stable job may not be the key to financial success after all.
Kiyosaki also writes about a concept which he calls the ‘Cashflow Quadrant.” The Cashflow Quadrant, according to Kiyosaki, spells out how money or wealth is generated by different types of people. To better understand the concept, picture a simple cross on a blank sheet of paper. On the top left quadrant, write a letter ‘E” which stands for Employee. On the lower left quadrant, write a letter “S” which stands for the Small Business Owner or Self-Employed. On the upper right quadrant, write the letter “B” to mean Big Business. And on the lower right quadrant, right the letter “I” which stands for Investor. Kiyosaki says that many “E” people are resource-oriented in terms of their approach to work and their lives as well. To succeed, these people rely on their current resources: their academic degrees, cash on hand, the secure job, physical health, etc. According to Kiyosaki, employees usually have this mindset. The “S” people, on the other hand, are able to generate their own income by having their own business. But according to Kiyosaki, the “E” and “S” people rarely succeed enough to have real wealth that would allow them to retire comfortably. These people are able to retire with some money but only after decades of hard work. Kiyosaki argues that being in these quadrants is not the best option since an employee can lose a job and his health which would then prevent him from doing his job. Small businessmen can encounter severe changes in the market that affects profit; or one’s own company can fall into bankruptcy.

In contrast, the people who belong to Big Business (“B”) and the Investors (“I”) are the ones who can really gain wealth. Where lies the difference? Big Business and investors achieve financial success because they are able to harness the expertise of other people. Unlike the self-employed or small business owners, the members of the “B” and “I” quadrants do not do all the work by themselves. They let the experts do the work based on their desired objectives or financial goals. Unlike people from the “E” and “S” quadrants who “work hard for the money,” the “B” and “I” people let their money work for them. In his books, Kiyosaki cites some financial instruments, strategies, and anecdotes on how people can make their money work for them. He discusses this concept using the term “active income vs. passive income.” The main point of his financial advice is that people should learn how to invest their money on assets such as real estate property that can be rented out so that they would have regular income even without working. He also mentions that since the value of the property depreciates, the amount of tax to be paid also decreases and does not pose any financial difficulty on the part of the investor in the long-term. Kiyosaki says that financial literacy and having the right mindset are important in order for people to know how they can choose the best path towards financial freedom. While Kiyosaki’s books do not exactly show the step-by-step approach to financial success, he does provide very good motivational thoughts on how to avoid financial self-destruction. He focuses on improving one’s mindset which includes moving from being resource-oriented to being opportunity-oriented. In a typical financial counseling session, Robert Kiyosaki would usually say that:

“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire…the size of your dream…and how you handle disappointment along the way.”

Indeed, the ability to handle disappointments is essential to one’s emotional stability and physical health. Having the right mindset when it comes to finances and to life itself is the key to real success. After all, financial success without health is simply a bad deal.

 Your restraining beliefs may be due to society, growing up experiences, parental and friends demands, coping strategies and numerous other reasons. A large number of people restrain themselves in some way or the other by harboring negative beliefs.

 This article will initiate you to the 7 fatal beliefs that can hold you back. At least one of these is responsible for any lack of achievement you feel. But which one? Let’s take a look at each of them in brief here. Each of the 7 subsequent future posts will analyze them in detail, so you can overcome and smash through to the success you’ve forever wanted.

 Belief 1:

Believing That Poverty Is Synonymous Of Virtuosity And That All Successful (Rich) People Are Wicked.

 Several people who were unsuccessful in making it big typically brand the rich and successful as evil and associate Poverty with virtuosity. This is a case of blaming the rich for your regretful state of affairs. Such a negative belief will limit your financial development. Numerous wealthy people are generously giving and first-class human beings. You need to overcome this belief to chase your financial goals.

 Belief 2:

Believing That Money Is A Corrupting Power Of People’s Good Values

 Another destructive belief that is damaging to your financial success is that money is accountable for corrupting people’s good principles. When you have such a belief, you sub consciously set your mind not to make the most of chances that will bring in wealth. Your mind will identify wealth as a negative stimulus. You must get rid of this self-limiting belief to be capable to attract wealth in your life.

]]>

 Belief 3:

Believing That You Are Not Clever, Educated, Brave Enough

 This belief stems from having a low self-esteem. They are irrational and hurt your self-assurance. When you don’t judge yourself worthy of a challenge or opportunity, you sub-consciously accept defeat even before trying. Constantly underestimating yourself can have severe repercussions on your individual as well as professional life.

 Belief 4:

Believing That No one Will Help You

 The reason of this belief is frequently due to distorted images of self and others and is thus, a little more complicated to unravel than other harmful beliefs. It could be due to superiority complex, inferiority complex or just you are suspicious of others. This belief not only cripples your probabilities of success but also damages your social life.

 Belief 5:

Believing That You Will Be Not Liked By People

 Everyone likes being loved and respected, but it is wrong when you let it become so imperative that you start judging yourself based on others’ beliefs. You start giving undue importance to others’ opinions and stray from pursuing your own objectives. This belief makes you extra susceptible to disapproval and becomes an impediment in your personal growth.

 Belief 6:

Believing That Certain Things Are Unworkable

 A belief that prevents you from giving your most excellent to a situation is that some things are unfeasible. When you brand a particular challenge as impossible, you create a wall against it in your mind. This mind set causes you to ignore potentially life-changing opportunities. You must comprehend that believing certain things to be impossible before you even attempt is a pusillanimous behavior. It is a justification for people who are not sure of their own abilities.

Belief 7:

Believing That Failure Is Your Fate

 Some people take even one failure to heart and stop trying. They start believing that failure is their destiny and no matter how hard they try, they will always be unsuccessful. You must recognize that failure and success are both sides of the same coin; one follows the other. Instead of brooding about your failure, you should learn your lesson from it and try again without repeating your mistakes. Your destiny is not unfixable and with hard work, you can achieve a successful life.

 You may well not even be conscious that you harbor a harmful belief that cripples your chances of success. If you are not achieving goals and you are not content with your life, you must spot your self-limiting belief and rectify it. Once you are free from the shackles of your harmful beliefs, you will be able to live a rewarding and more successful life.

 All the very best of success to you

Below are the 3 most common reasons people fail to achieve success in their life. By knowing this, you can prevent yourself from repeating these silly mistakes and shortcut your road to success.

1. Most people fail because they are not committed. I know that you want to be successful. But ask yourself this question, are you committed to succeed? If you are not committed, you will never achieve it. Success is something that will not come automatically; it requires a lot of effort to make it come true. If it is just like a dream for you, then you will never achieve it. Therefore, make sure that you are committed to succeed before you take any action step.

]]>

2. Most people did not take enough action toward their dreams and goals. Like I mentioned above, success will not come automatically. There is no free lunch in this world. If you want something, you will have to pay for it. The sad thing is, most people are lazy and they procrastinate without taking any real solid action. If you want to achieve great success in your life today, take massive action. Action produces results, without action, nothing is going to happen.

3. Most people fail because they stay in their comfort zone. One of the crucial factors to achieve great success is constant improving. And in order to improve, you will have to get out of your comfort zone. Many people stay in their comfort zone, they watch television the moment they need to do market research. So don’t procrastinate and don’t wait. Get out of your comfort zone and take the necessary action to make your dreams come true today.

These are the 3 most common reasons people fail to achieve success in their life. By avoiding these 3 reasons, you will eventually find yourself moving slowly toward your dreams and your goals in your life.

From a very young age, and humble beginnings, Napoleon Hill thought about the differences between the most successful people in the world, and the rest of us. He wondered what it was about some people that enable them to become giants in the world of business, while most people never show a glimpse of such potential greatness. He wished he could meet some of these giants to discover their secrets.

It would not be long for Hill to get his wish, in a manner more spectacular than he had ever dared to dream. In 1908, at the age of 25, working as a reporter on a local newspaper, he talked his editor into running a series of articles Hill would write, based on interviews with extraordinary businessmen. This aided Hill in getting an appointment with one of the world’s most successful industrialists, Andrew Carnegie, a man with a rags to riches story, more fantastic than any of its kind.

]]>

During the interview Carnegie confessed his belief that successful individuals follow a basic formula for success, and that formula would become apparent to anyone who would take on the task of interviewing hundreds of successful people, and collect & analyze the information. He said that once the formula was published, he believed anybody would be able to become successful. He asked if Hill believed he was up to such a daunting task, and let it be known, that he could help Hill secure interviews with many of the most successful persons alive.

You can imagine that Hill did not say he needed time to think it over. He accepted immediately and with tremendous gratitude, in a state of awe as his wildest dream was being unfolded before him. Now he would have access to the most powerful & successful people in the world. This was the beginning of a 20 year voyage that ultimately resulted in a nearly twelve hundred page study course, The Law Of Success.

There are actually 16 parts, or lessons, to The Law of Success: The Master Mind, The Golden Rule, A Definite Chief Aim, Tolerance, Self Confidence, Failure, The Habit of Saving, Co-operation, Initiative & Leadership, Concentration, Imagination, Accurate Thought, Enthusiasm, Pleasing Personality, Self Control, and the Habit of Doing More Than You Are Paid For.

Some people are shocked to learn that Andrew Carnegie did not support Napoleon Hill Law Of Success financially, but that was never part of the deal. After all was said and done, Hill gave the most credit for contributing to the project, to Carnegie and Henry Ford. Carnegie, of course, for inspiring and enabling him, and Ford for sharing so much time with him.

If you want to be successful today, you need to possess the keys to success. And only then you can use these keys to open the door to your success.

1. You need to have a burning desire and know what you want in your life. The number one reason most people fail to achieve what they want in their life is because they do not know what they want to achieve in their life. So make sure you are cleared with what you want to achieve in your life. If your desire is strong enough, you will automatically come up with all the other keys to achieve your goals.

2. Take massive and consistent action. The top killer of all successes is the lack of action and procrastination. If you procrastinate and never take any solid action, nothing is going to happen. Success will not come to you overnight and it is not going to happen automatically. It is not like one day you wake up and you found that your bank has an extra million. This is impossible to happen; you have to work for it if you want it to come true.

]]>

3. Be 100% committed. For many people, achieving success is not a must; it is a wish, a dream, a hope or a will. They will never make success a must achieve in their life. When you are committed to success, you will do whatever it takes to achieve what you want in your life. The moment you decide that you must achieve it, you will operate from a different mindset and everything will be possible for you.

4. Get out of your comfort zone. If you want to improve, you must get out of your comfort zone and start to stretch yourself to learn more. If you stay in your comfort zone, you will never improve. So ask yourself this question right now, are you feeling comfortable? If you are not feeling comfortable right now because you still have a lot of daily tasks to be completed, then you are in your way to great success. However, if your answer is you are feeling very comfortable right now because you got a lot of free time and you do not know what to do with it, most likely you will never achieve what you want in your life.

5. The final key is the most important key of all. Make sure that you never give up. If you give up, you will never achieve anything in your life. A winner will never quit and a quitter will never win. Always remember, if you give up, you are wasting your time and effort. Therefore, decide for now that you will not give up no matter what.

These are the top 5 fantastic keys that will unlock the door to your success. Acquire them and put them into good use in your journey to success.
