How to Develop Empowering Beliefs and Values

How to Develop Empowering Beliefs and Values

Our beliefs act as the 'on' and 'off' switch to our brain and our inner resources. Without the right beliefs in place, none of the other steps in the success formula matter.

Our beliefs determine what we want and what we do when we don't get what we want. If you have limiting beliefs like,

'It's too difficult'
'I'm too young'
'It's not possible'
'I am not a good speaker'

It is highly unlikely that you will set inspiring goals in the first place.

If you don't have empowering beliefs, you will not set goals for yourself. And nobody can set goals for you either.

Similarly, limiting beliefs about yourself and the situation will make you 'give up' rather than change your strategy and take action until you succeed.

If you believe that you don't have the capability or that 'it is too difficult', then you are more likely to quit than change your strategy and take action until you succeed.

So an empowering set of beliefs is truly one of the keys you need to punch in, to set the rest of the formula in motion.

The second key that drives the success are our values or what we hold dear to us, and live by. Values are like emotional hot buttons that drive our behavior. They are what we value as important in our lives.

All of us regard values like 'success', 'freedom', 'security','love' and 'happiness' very differently. And it is the way we internally rank these values that determine the kinds of choices we make, and the actions we take.

Some people are driven towards reaching their goals because of their need to feel secure. Others may be driven by a different value, like freedom. "I want to earn enough to be free" ( free from want, free to walk out of a boring job ) is an often-heard goal.

The important thing is that whatever our values are, they must be aligned with our goals. The main reason why most people never feel driven towards their goals is because their values are not aligned, their values may even be in conflict with their goals.

Example of a young mother who could never feel consistently motivated towards her goals of achieving her sales targets. It was later that it dawned on her that her goals and values were in direct conflict. She valued 'family' but as a professional, she also valued 'success'.

This internal conflict drained a lot of her energy, and held her back. She wanted to achieve her career goals but she felt guilty whenever the pursuit of her goal prevented her from spending time with her family.

Successful have empowering beliefs that they can achieve what they set out to do and they ensure they align their values with their goals.

If you want to become successful, develop empowering beliefs and align your values because if you don't, there is almost no chance that success will knock on your door.

When a Goal Becomes a MUST !

When a Goal Becomes a MUST !

People who achieve their goals are those who are truly committed to get what they want. To them, their goals are not a mere wish or a weak desire. They are an absolute must.

When a goal becomes a must, we operate from a very different frame of mind.

When something becomes an absolute must, we will do whatever it takes to get it ( within ethical, legal & moral boundaries of course ). When something becomes a must, we will stretch well beyond our comfort zones and keep changing our strategy as many times as it takes.

Time and again, you will notice that people who succeed are those who show this level of commitment. In fact I believe that failures, setbacks and frustrations are life's ways of testing our level of commitment.

Most people fail this test by quitting when they hit major obstacles. The few who succeed do so because they do whatever it takes to overcome obstacles. I truly believe that when something becomes a must for you, and you are willing to do whatever it takes, you will always find a way !

For most people, achieving success in anything is rarely a must. They would like to lose weight, but it is not a must. They would love to make more money, but they won't die without it. They wish they could take charge of their lives, but they could live without it.

The moment something becomes a 'should' instead of a 'must', you will rarely achieve it. You will always find a way to put it off or to quit the moment you meet resistance.

People like Sylvester Stallone, Steven Spielberg or a Donald Trump who achieve success are not born more focused, more disciplined or more lucky than the average person. What makes them different is that they make their goals a must for themselves. They are not willing to accept anything less than the best.

So let me ask you a question.

Are your dreams and goals an absolute must or are they just weak desires that you can live without ? Have you been truly committed to do whatever it takes in the past or have you quit and given yourself excuses along the way ?

If you haven't then it's time you take yourself and your goals seriously because if success isn't a must for you then there is no way that you can become successful. Because success only reserves itself for people who want it bad enough to make a MUST !

Take Absolute Responsibility for Your Results !

Take Absolute Responsibility for Your Results !

"He made me angry."
"My divorce is really depressing me".
"My kids are driving me crazy."
"My unappreciative boss is driving me to a nervous breakdown".

The statements above have one thing in common ; blaming others and not taking responsibility for one's state.

As long as blame is cast outside ourselves, our states will be out of our control. Most people allow their emotions to run their lives which results in them feeling powerlessness and helplessness.

If you are upset, you are choosing to be upset. If you are excited, you are choosing to be excited. Remember, no one can affect how you feel unless you allow them to. The moment you realize this, you can choose to feel differently.

For example, if you get fired unfairly, you can choose to feel depressed and wallow in self-pity. You can also choose to be all fired up making a success of yourself, letting your ex-company regret their decision in firing you !

In fact, some of the greatest companies in the world were built by men who were motivated to get back at their ex-companies for firing them.

The most famous example is what Lee Iacocca did when Henry Ford 11 fired him ( a personality clash ). He simply left and joined a rival motor company ( Chrysler ), turned that ailing company into a direct rival and competitor of Ford.

Another example is the actions that Ivana Trump took when real estate magnet Donald Trump dumped her for a younger woman. Instead of drowning her 'loss' with alcohol, anti depressants and wrecking her health, she made herself more glamorous publicly announcing to other wronged wives, "Don't get mad, get even !" and eventually proceeded to wrestling a mega settlement from him.

A point to take note off, taking absolute responsibility for whatever happens does not mean blaming oneself. Taking responsibility and blaming yourself is totally different. Some people blame themselves for everything - and that is not a useful pattern.

By blaming yourself, you beat yourself up only to find yourself feeling helpless and depressed. "It's my fault that I'm so stupid, I really screwed up again."

This is not what taking responsibility is all about. Taking responsibility means acknowledging the fact that the choices you made in the past have contributed to your present situation. Instead of feeling bad, place yourself in a state of possibility by putting the choice back in your own hands.

The key elements that drive our actions and results are the emotional states we experience. When we feel excited and motivated, we are more likely to take action that will lead to great results. But when we are upset and depressed, we rarely make good decisions or do anything productive

Successful individuals choose to feel empowered and positive even in the most dire of circumstances. This is how they feel constantly motivated to improve their situation.

People who are in control of their lives believe they create their world. If everything is going great, then they created it, not anyone else. If things are not going well, then they created it as well. From this moment onwards, start taking responsibility for your feelings and results.

Four Powerful Investing Strategies To Multiply Your Money

Four Powerful Investing Strategies To Multiply Your Money

There are many very different philosophies and strategies that experts use to select stocks to achieve above average returns.

Today, many use a whole range of different investment strategies, depending on whether you are looking for a quick intra-day gain or a longer-term return over a year.

In all, I will share with you four of the most powerful growth strategies that makes millions in the markets.

Growth Strategy 1 : Buying Markets & Sectors

The first growth strategy you will be learning in chapter 3 would be on how to achieve the same returns as the whole US stock market or Singapore Stock market by buying the market indexes such as the S&P 500 index, Dow Jones Index, Nasdaq composite Index and the Straits Times Index.

This is the most basic strategy that all novice investors should start off with. Executing this strategy successfully involves the lowest level of financial competence but can make you consistent annual compounded returns of 10%-12.08%.

Growth Strategy 2 : Value Investing

In chapter 4 of Secrets Of Millionaire Investors, you will further increase your level of financial intelligence by learning to select specific stocks of individual companies that would out perform the general market and even the hottest sectors.

Value investing is the strategy employed by Warren Buffett, the world's greatest investor and second richest man. In value investing, you will learn to buy high performing companies at a fraction of what they are worth.

In other words, you will learn how to buy great companies when they are under valued and to sell them for a huge profit once the market realizes its true value. This strategy has consistently making profits of 15%-25% annually !

Growth Strategy 3 : Momentum Investing

This next strategy will allow you to achieve much higher returns ( of more than 20% ) within a much shorter period of time ( 3-6 months ). Momentum investing involves finding the hottest stocks that are ready to make great gains.

Momentum stocks tend to already be priced above their fair value. However, because of the entire market's optimism about the stock's potential, these stocks tend to increase significantly in price within a very short period of time before they are over bought and come tumbling down ( this is when you sell and make huge profits ).

Growth Strategy 4 : Options Trading

Finally, you are going to learn the art of how to make 100%-500% return on your money within 1-3 months. This final strategy requires you to have the highest level of financial competence and skill. This strategy is known as trading ( as opposed to investing )and it involves the use of buying ( or selling ) stock options.

Trading is different from investing in a few ways. Investing usually involves making money by buying a stock and predicting that it will increase in value over a few months to a few years.

However, in trading you are able to make profits whether the stock price moves up or down and you usually enter and exit a trade within a very short period of time.

So there you have it. 4 powerful growth strategies to multiply your money immediately.
