Looking through your belief window....

I went to a seminar in Austin last week at the Wizard Academy (wizardacademy.com)—which is Roy William’s brain child. A couple of his partners were doing the teaching though. One of the speakers, Steve Clark (newschoolselling.com), talked about belief windows. A belief window is the lens through which we see the world. We each have our own individual beliefs. They can bring us success—or be the glass ceiling keeping us at status quo.

Some of the points we learned follow.

Your belief window dictates your past, present and future behavior. It affects your emotional health, your physical well-being, your success or failure. It keeps you in the same kind of job with the same kind of pay. It might keep you from going back to school or asking some attractive person out on a date (or it might be the wedding ring keeping you from doing it—and that’s a good thing! But think back to the dating years.). If you change these beliefs, you will in turn change your behavior and you’ll get different results. The ability to objectively analyze our own beliefs is one of the most important skills we can develop.

Who are you today? Who do you want to be? Do you know deep in your heart and mind that you can do it? Could it really be just some internal programming that’s stopping you? Did some teacher, parent or snotty kid say something negative about you years ago that you accidentally, subconsciously believed?

Throw out that garbage.

What 3 beliefs must you have to be more successful?

What would you do if you could not fail?
