I believe
one of the obstacles
that keep people from
succeeding is one very basic fear:
The fear
of making big money.
Not
just fear of making
money... but the big moolah.
If
you don't think that is a fear
that is stopping
you then you analyze those rich people closely.
Some of them feared making money because their parents were not high earners. If
they made more money than their Father, they reasoned, what
kind of son
or daughter would they be?
Sounds crazy but
this is not what we want but what
this is what our
sub-conscious mind is reminding us.
Others fear that making big money would 'change' them
somehow and they would not
be the same person anymore-
the same person that people know, love and care for.
True story:
I have a friend
whose friends
are no longer close
to her anymore because
she has grown
to be more
successful than them. She has become a 'bigger' person now.
They start to pick on
her like...
"She thinks she's
the only person busy with her work."
The truth
is... she is BUSY with her work and building a strong financial support but her friends
don't have that kind of being busy privilege.
And they'll look for her weaknesses to find chances to pick on her.
Are her friends bad? Not really. They're
just reacting towards 'change'. Instead of responding, they're reacting.
They'll feel...
"She's not the same person anymore."
Yes, she chanced to be better and wiser.
So if she
changes to be more successful, she'll fear that her friends might not like her they way they used to.
That's
just one example.
The fear of making big money is REAL. It's in
your mind and the only thing that is moving
you is YOUR MIND.
However, you may not believe you
are influenced by
this fear because it sounds really silly.
But think about it for a minute.
Maybe what you really fear is 'change'... and if you made big money it would change you and
your life.
That is why most lottery 'millionaires' end up spending
or losing most of their winnings a
year or so after they've won... they seek 'normal' lives again where nothing
ever changes.
It's not
hard to make big money... the hard part is giving yourself permission to make it and keep it.
Yes, I said
give yourself PERMISSION to start making big money.
The game of becoming rich is an internal
one... just like golf, or becoming an Olympic athlete.
The problem is inside us... lack of confidence and self-esteem are the enemies.
Don't let fear of making money stop you. Start believing in yourself, check
your self-esteem and make a wise informed and profitable choice for
your future.
One of the way to solve this is by using... an anchor.
With an anchor, you have the power to
do a simple
act and
you'll instantly be able to eliminate that fear of making money. Sounds
interesting, isn't it?
No, this is not trying to use affirmation. It's scientifically
proven to work. The 'technology' for
using anchoring is introduced in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
This is
probably the fastest way to change your emotions instantly.
I'll show you
how to experience 'success'.
Think of a
time when you have a very successful experience. It can be when you get number #1 in any competition.
It can be an experience when you beat Your competitors to be a winner.
It could even be when your wife agreed to marry you!
Now focus on the
feeling of
success you have experienced last
time. Pull out the memory of how it felt like ... to be successful, to be on top of your game.
Engage that feeling. Are you feeling it?
I know it's hard while reading this article but you'll need to
practice it if you want to know how it works.
See yourself when you have achieve success, hear the claps and cheers,
remember the smell of room where
you're winning the prizes and
feel it.
Then it's time for you to create an anchor
at that exact moment of time.
Many
types of actions can be an anchor for you.
You can twist your ear,
move your fingers 5 times, clinch your
fist 3 times, rub your hands together, make an arm swing or just do anything you can think of that can have a special meaning for you.
This anchor will be engrossed with the state you in. And the state that you're in at that moment of time is when you're experiencing your successes.
The more passionate or lively the experience, the better anchor you will create.
