Every move you make

For many years in personal development the topic of beliefs is one of the number reasons why most people are not getting to where they would like to be in their lives financially, emotionally, etc...
And what I did as most of us do is for a brief moment who study personal development, is tell myself I was changing my beliefs.  If I told myself my sales goal was to be at $100 000 a month I would do everything I could try and get to that goal, except look at my beliefs.  So I would write down my goal and tell myself daily I was going to reach $100 000 per month.  Something funny was happening though, I wasn't getting where I needed to be.  I kept hitting my old goals over and over again without improvement.
Then out of the blue, I figured out what the main problem was. I was trying to get to my goal, yet my series of beliefs did not match up.  Let me show what I mean:

Beliefs

Self image - customers - products - economy - industry = goal

These are all beliefs I have that help me or keep me from my sales goals.  If I have strong positive beliefs about everything except my customers, guess what, no amount of wishing, visualizing or "attracting" will get me closer to my goal.

Every single belief you have has you exactly were you are today.  You behave, act and do things according to your beliefs. So here is what I'd like you to do, examine you beliefs, where did you learn them?  Are you assuming and that's why you have that belief?  Do you have a strong belief because you heard someone tell you over and over something they believed and now you also believe it?

In my industry I work with people who have the following beliefs:

-The economy is no good in this city anymore.
-Our customers don't have much money.
-Nobody wants to buy this.
-It's raining so business will be bad.
-We can't compete with the prices from up the street.

I love to prove these as only myths when working with people.  I've been in several parts of the country and the funny thing is the belief systems are all the same.  Yet when you can show, motivate and prove to people that their belief systems are totally not based on reality, they slowly change, they get excited, competitive and get into better moods.  A belief can be changed in a year or as little as an hour. 

Here is your call to action for today:

1.  Examine strong beliefs starting in your career or business.  Now ask yourself where did they come from? 

2.  Are your beliefs based on an assumption, something you've heard as a child or are they 100% factual.

3.  Make the realization everything you believe makes you act, behave and do every move you make.
