How to Let Go of Limiting Beliefs and Find Success in Business
The potential to work from home doesn’t rely on talent. It all comes down to mindset.
Have you ever wanted to leave a draining office job and start an online business, then decided you just couldn’t do it? Maybe you’ve even told these things to yourself:
I don’t have the experience.
It can’t work for me.
It’s too good to be true.
I’m not good at sales.
These phrases are limiting beliefs, and limiting beliefs will run your life until you decide to take charge of your destiny.
The truth is, the work-from-home life is yours if you let it be. But first, you have to believe it. It’s scary to let go of limiting beliefs because doing so means you become accountable and in control of your fate. However, if life is going to happen anyway, wouldn’t you rather be in the driver’s seat than sit by as a passenger?
If your answer is ‘yes,’ then here are five tips on how you can let go of limiting beliefs to find success in business and life.
1. Do some reading
Learn about success stories, tips and the law of attraction to understand what’s possible when you have faith in yourself. “Money, and the Law of Attraction” and “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” are among my favorites for business.
2. Name your beliefs
Write down what limiting beliefs you tell yourself. (You can use the examples above if they resonate.) Recognize when you tell yourself those things and how they make you feel.
3. Trace them back
Make space in your journal to pinpoint where those limiting beliefs started. Usually, these narratives are created early on in life. For instance, you may have told yourself, “my ideas aren’t worthy” after getting harsh feedback from a teacher in school.
4. Reframe the narrative
Allow your mind to sit in the time when a limiting belief was created. Show up for yourself now by telling yourself what you needed to hear then. For the last example, it could be something like, “you have a wonderful ability to think outside the box.” This is how you help heal yourself.
5. Put it into practice
Now that you’ve flipped the script, work at making your new belief true. If you have the wonderful ability to think outside the box, where will you let it take you? The possibilities become endless.
I like to say that ninety percent of success in our online business is mindset. It’s the secret tool most every entrepreneur uses to find success, and it’s yours for the taking, too.
