âś… Why most people unknowingly sabotage themselves when going after their goals (and why most don't actually get the results they want).
âś… The inner shift that's absolutely REQUIRED before anything in your outer world can change.
âś… 3 powerful distinctions I choose to live my life by that have completely transformed my reality (and can transform yours too).
From the Desk of James Wedmore:
I’m writing this as we wrap up the last few days of the 30 day experience I did with our clients, the Mind Your Money Challenge.
This is a something I created that offers a daily process to help you uproot old money beliefs and stories that prevent entrepreneurs from charging more, selling more, making more, and investing more.
This has been such an incredible experience for me to see the transformations and the breakthroughs! Here are a few:
It's amazing watching people TRANSFORM over 30 days... and I only wish MORE were doing this type of necessary work.
Today, after all the growth and experience I’ve had and now generating over $100 million in total sales, I can see all the ways in which people self sabotage and operate from fear, old stories and limiting beliefs... it’s tragic...
It’s tragic to witness firsthand how prevalent these old money blocks and stories are - holding or shackling so many entrepreneurs back, yet most are completely unwilling to do the actual work needed to transform their lives, their businesses and their bank accounts.
Instead, most keep chasing a better funnel or a better strategy, thinking if they just work harder and longer, everything will change tomorrow.
Newsflash - it won’t.
As a business coach, I get challenged and criticized all the time because I talk about all these "weird" or "woo woo" concepts.
Well, they ain’t weird or woo to me, but it’s funny how much people scoff at the conversations I wanna have with them around Universal Principles, manifestation, changing your reality, etc.
It’s funny how the people doing the scoffing never have the results, do they?
Or that the people that tend to have the least results tend to think they have all the answers. There really is truth to that notion:
...you either get to be right or you get results.
And I think a lot of people let their ego get in the way. Heck, I know I've been there many times early in my career.
That need to be right about what they think they need to be doing. Right about what is the right approach. And they will fight to be right at the detriment of their own success, happiness or well-being.
Yes, everyone wants the end result, but most are unwilling to do the work. So, for the few that are, I commend you!
And as you already know to be true: if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always gotten.
So for those that have the courage and commitment to look within, to grow and to make changes, the change is necessary to experience extraordinary results in your life.
Here are 3 out-of-the-box distinctions that I have adopted and choose to live by that have been radically transformative in my life.
1) Everything Is Unfolding FOR You
Most people love to throw this around like it's a nice platitude... I mean it sure does sound nice, right?!
Where this matters most is when times get tough. When reality doesn’t appear to be going your way. That’s when this Principle and Truth is needed the most - when you are faced with problems and challenges.
Those that have courage and clarity to see the unfortunate circumstance in front of you as a blessing will have the courage and the power to do something about it.
Unfortunately, the way we as humans learn the most is through pain and hardship. Pain is a tool that forces us to pay attention.
Think about when things are great. It’s easy for us to turn a blind eye to the things we don’t wanna look at and avoid dealing with little problems. Often we don’t face or address the problem until that molehill has become a mountain.
When I say everything is unfolding for you, that doesn’t mean life is supposed to be fun and peachy 100% of the time.
It means you are not a victim. It means you are not just a bag in the wind being blown from side to side. It means when you ask for a bigger life, you will be thrown experiences constantly to teach you how to manage and master the energy of that bigger life.
Everything is happening for you means life is teaching you. That’s the goal. To learn. And it’s teaching you what you need to learn so you can have what you said you wanna have.
To DECIDE that whatever challenge you are going through is a BLESSING... because it comes to be a TEACHER for you, will begin to CHANGE EVERYTHING. It's then that you will FACE this challenge head on... AND you learn from it. Which means... you conquered it.
2) Every Problem Has A Solution
We live in a Dualistic Universe. This is The Law of Duality. Or Polarity.
What this means is, you can’t have "up" without "down," left without right, or hot without cold. This also means you can’t have questions without answers. Or problems without solutions.
Therefore, no matter what problem you are facing in your life or business, there IS a solution. ALWAYS. You may not like the solution, but a solution always exists. That being said, it is a complete error or distortion to think otherwise. To declare yourself stuck in a problem without a solution... is never accurate. You are never stuck.
Most people simply haven’t thought creatively enough to look for where the solution lies. When searching for a solution, they look in the same box that created the problem. That’s why Einstein said "you can’t solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created it."
The reason this simple principle is so important (especially in business) is that most waste all their energy trying to AVOID mistakes and failures. And as a result... never make progress. Those mistakes and failures are your teachers... and ALL of them offer answers, solutions and new opportunities.
So... why hesitate?
3) We Create From The Inside-Out
Most people reject spiritual philosophies or distinctions because people have a hard time grappling with the fact that our reality is something that we are the creators of. We generate our reality from within.
To adopt this as Truth eradicates any option for excuses, complaints and self-pity.
It’s easy to live your life from the outside---> IN, where your emotions and beliefs are just at the mercy of your reality.
But the truth is quite the opposite. Your reality is the byproduct of your inner world. That’s living intentionally from the inside-out. Reality is simply the mirror reflecting back to you your inner thoughts and emotions.
And to change your reality, you must change from within.
This isn’t just some new age mumbo jumbo. Neuroscience tells us your brain doesn’t match your beliefs to your outer reality. But rather your outer reality is simply matching your pre-existing beliefs.
In short: change your thoughts, your beliefs and your frequency, and you'll change your life.
Why I wrote on these three principles...
Frankly, because we can never be reminded enough, right? But I was inspired by our Mind Your Money students who are diligently doing work on themselves every day to grow, awaken and transform their lives and businesses... that I wanted to bring these reminders to you this week!
It's so easy to get sucked into the stress and busy-ness of business, that we get out of our Center, we lose faith, we lose that sense of HAPPINESS...
...but I attribute +19 years of continued growth to practicing these 3 principles as often as possible! And I hope you will do the same!
Thanks for reading! :-)
