People who do not succeed have one common trait…
They all know the reasons why they CANNOT do what they desire to do… They have a list of excuses that is stopping them from succeeding in business and in life.
Having reasons, excuses or alibis is totally normal. We are wired to protect ourselves from “Potential Threat” but having these Limiting Beliefs in our life and business will not benefit us in any way at all. The habit of making excuses and finding reasons why we can’t do what we have to do is detrimental to your journey to success.
The real question is…
Are you going to let these excuses and reasons stop you from building the life you really want?
Go through the list and see what are the limiting beliefs that are holding you back.
Be aware of those things and Task Your Mind to think of solutions to eliminate those excuses and reasons so you can start living the life you want.
Here is a list that I compiled from my coaching clients, from my personal development journey and from conversations I had with our students.
- IF ONLY I have more time…
- IF ONLY I had enough money…
- IF ONLY I had influence…
- IF ONLY I had good education…
- IF ONLY I could get a job…
- IF ONLY I had good health…
- IF ONLY I didn’t have too much family obligations…
- IF ONLY times are better…
- IF ONLY people understood me…
- IF ONLY conditions around me were different…
- IF ONLY I could start all over again…
- IF ONLY I have the courage to face failure…
- IF ONLY I have been given a chance…
- IF ONLY I did not fear what “they” would say…
- IF ONLY I were younger…
- IF ONLY I were older…
- IF ONLY nothing happened to stop me…
- IF ONLY I had been born rich…
- IF ONLY I could do what I want…
- IF ONLY I could meet “the right people”…
- IF ONLY I had the talent to do it…
- IF ONLY I have the “sales” skills…
- IF ONLY I knew how to run a business…
- IF ONLY I do not have bills to pay…
- IF ONLY spouse would support me…

And this is the greatest excuse of them all… - IF ONLY I had the courage to believe in myself, then I might have a chance to live the life I want… my dream life.
REMEMBER: These reasons, excuses or alibis may be real and true for you right now but Always keep in mind that these are also a product of your imagination. Whatever your reasons are, it can either move you towards your goal or cause you to get “stuck” in your current situation.
My purpose for writing this is to remind you that you have unlimited potential and to remind you that…
“YOU WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU FOCUS ON.”
You can either focus on your reasons why you will succeed or you CAN focus on the reasons why you CANNOT. As long as you are aware of the conversations you are having with yourself, you will begin to notice that it becomes easier to refocus your mind to what makes you amazing.
You are not alone. Sometimes, it’s hard to focus on what makes us great and it takes other people to believe in us more than we believe in ourselves.
If you need help and guidance to breakthrough your limiting beliefs, I am here for you.
