Does my personal life affect my income?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle Code Question

Hi David!

How do I know if my personal life may be affecting my success? I’m in a strained relationship currently, and I’m experiencing chaos in my business as well which is resulting in a month-by-month financial loss. Is this related, or two totally separate issues I need to look at?

Neagle Code Answer

Thanks so much for your question!

How you do anything is how you do everything, but there are some questions you can ask yourself to determine if your personal relationships could be affecting your success.

As Vernon Howard so eloquently states, “Behave the way you really are, even if it ends a relationship. Never suppress yourself in an effort to influence, hold, or win someone. When we are unreal, so are our rewards. To say this in another way, never behave the way you think the other person wants you to behave, but in the manner you must. Nothing you really need to do or have ever requires a yielding to a person or custom.”

If you find yourself making decisions or stopping yourself for fear of what someone else will think, say or react then you really need to take a close look at that relationship.

Is that you?

Are you true to yourself or do you make decisions based on what you believe your partner may feel, think or say?

Be honest with yourself.

In a healthy relationship, both people should have the room and freedom that they need to foster their own growth. You have a responsibility to yourself to pursue your dreams, and if they don’t agree; they have the option to accept your desires or leave the relationship.

How does my internal “set point” affect my income?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle Code Question

Hi David!

I’ve recently heard you talk about an internal set point that sometimes dictates your financial growth. I’ve always thought my income was based on my work ethic and my daily tasks. Can you explain this set point a little more please?

Thanks!

Neagle Code Answer

I’d be happy to!

First I want you to understand that sometimes your income has less to do with what you’re “doing” and more to do with what you believe.

Let me explain.

Maxwell Maltz, in his book Psycho-Cybernetics, teaches that all people have an internal “set point,” which he calls a cybernetic mechanism.

A cybernetic mechanism is a mechanism in both man and machines that determines and measures the deviation between a set point and a goal.

In fact, we have these set points everywhere in our lives. Think about your weight, your finances, and your environment.

What you may be experiencing is your own cybernetic mechanism or “set point” in regards to your yearly income.

Researchers have found that our cybernetic mechanisms are set based on our past programming. This means our ability to hit our goals, is actually based on beliefs that were passed on to us by others.

The only solution is to really become aware of what those hidden beliefs are, and then consciously begin to change and re-program them.

If you feel like you’re constantly trying to pedal up-hill, chances are that’s because your cybernetic mechanism is kicking in and your sub-conscious beliefs are working against you.

Why the “unexpected” should never distract you from your goal

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle Code Question

Regardless of how hard I try, I always only have “enough.”

I doubled my biggest annual income in just a couple months last year so I started paying down debt, investing in my business, saving more, etc. but then I had a bunch of “unexpected expenses” pop up (taxes, car trouble, family emergency, etc.), and now I'm worse off than before (although still making ends meet, for the time being). I'm at a loss. Help!

Neagle Code Answer

Hi, and thanks so much for your question!

Based on your question, I do not believe you have an “abundance” or “wealth ceiling” problem.

Looks to me like you may have a focus and consistency problem.

Here’s the truth:

You’ll ALWAYS have unexpected expenses. What I’m wondering is what were you focused on as those unexpected expenses began to pile up.

As the car trouble happened, were you focused on the car trouble or were you focused on hitting your monthly financial goal?

When you experienced a family emergency, were you focused on the emergency or on hitting your financial goal?

The truth is that those unexpected expenses were just distractions created by your sub-conscious mind to keep you from growing.

The key to solving this roller coaster is to continually stay focused on what you want and what actions will take you closer to what you want.

There will always be unexpected expenses, what’s really important is to master your reaction to them. See them for what they are and DO NOT allow them to take your focus off your goal.

If you need to dedicate time to the distraction, do so during non-work time.

You can break this pattern easily if you’ll stay focused on your goal rather than on the unexpected expense.

How to set small goals to overcome fear

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle Code Question

Hi David!

I know what I have to do to grow my business, but every time I get the courage to pick up the phone and reach out to someone, fear stops me and I end up allowing myself to get distracted. I can think of every excuse in the book NOT to make a call. I don’t know what to do to overcome this. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Neagle Code Answer

Hi, and thanks for your question.

Here’s the truth, the fear isn’t going to go away or decrease unless you step through it.

One of the biggest gifts of being human is that we have the ability to choose.

You can choose to pick up the phone and reach out or you can choose to let fear be your excuse.

Regardless, it’s your choice.

The great thing about this is that you can start small and build momentum too.

Try setting small goals like speaking to one person today. Don’t let yourself go to sleep tonight without having checked it off your list.

You’ll begin to realize the only thing that makes picking up the phone hard is what’s going on between your two ears, and it will get easier.

Tomorrow, set a goal of speaking to 2 people, and gradually increase your goals as you build your confidence muscle.

Pretty soon that fear will be just a whisper.

But it’s not going to happen unless you CHOOSE to move forward regardless of how it “feels”.

Pick up the phone now, call a prospect and give yourself a fantastic experience!

The self-limiting word you need to nix from your 2016 vocabulary

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle Code Question

Hi David,

What's the biggest difference you see between multimillionaires and those who are not financially free?

Neagle Code Answer

Hi!

Great question!

There are so many differences between a wealth mindset and one of lack that it’s hard to pick just one.

If I were to choose one that I think has been the most impactful for my students I would say it’s this:

A wealth based mindset thinks in terms of “AND” whereas a lack mindset thinks in terms of “OR”.

Let me explain…

When a wealthy person is faced with a decision or desire, they don’t limit themselves. For example if they would like to send their children to college and purchase a boat, the thought they would have is, “I would like to send the kids to college AND purchase a boat.”

And then they go to work planning how they can make that possible.

A lack-based mindset would approach it entirely different. They would say, “I could either send my children to college OR I could purchase a boat.” This is a limiting thought.

I would suggest you watch your thoughts closely and note how many times you feel you need to make an “or” decision, and change it to an “and”.

There is no limit to what you can be, do or have, so begin to think in terms of “AND” and see what changes!

How to handle family members who have broken your trust

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle Code Question

Hi David,

I could really use your help with something. With the Holidays being in full swing, I know that I’m going to have to spend time with a family member who has done something hurtful to me this past year that proved to be very untrustworthy. I’m over the hurt (I think), but I do not trust them, and really don’t want to BE with them. I don’t want our brief time spent together to negatively affect my business. Do you have any suggestions?

Neagle Code Answer

Hi!

If someone has not earned your trust, or has broken your trust in the past, you can love them for who they are, but ultimately you have to make a decision about whether or not you want to spend time with them and share your life with them.

Trust should ALWAYS be earned.

The only way your family member can hold you back is if you make decisions based on what they think, rather than what you want.

If you find yourself caring more about what someone else thinks rather than what you think, you are holding yourself back.

But here is the most important lesson for you:

I want you to understand that if someone has broken your trust, chances are you’ve done the same thing to someone else and this situation is simply a mirror for you.

Remember you attract everything in your life from a place of who you are being, and to not take responsibility for part of the situation will only keep it alive and painful.

If you can see the truth in what happened, it will set you free.

How to end “paralysis by analysis” in your business

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle Code Question

Hi David, and thanks for taking my question!

My problem is that I think I’m too comfortable. I believe I have a deep desire to build my own business, but it seems I stop before I even start… I spend my time “thinking” rather than “doing.” And I think it’s important to mention that I don’t NEED to bring in money. I do WANT to though…

Any insight you can provide would be extremely helpful.

Neagle Code Answer

Hi!

The truth in your situation is that you just don’t want it bad enough. You are content to stay where you are, and there’s nothing really that’s creating a sense of urgency for you.

In these instances, YOU have to create the sense of urgency.

Let me explain…

Until your burning desire is greater than you’re need for comfort, nothing will change. Growth is uncomfortable. Without the discomfort we don’t grow. And if you are not growing, it’s going to be nearly impossible to help someone else grow.

Ask yourself, what in your life is keeping you comfortable?

Is it a job you show up to everyday?

Is it your savings account?

Is it your safe group of people around you?

What specifically do you fall back on as that safety net?

In order for you to move past this you have to identify that safety net and burn it.

Then you have to fall deeply, madly and 100% in love with this desire you have to help people.

You see, the juice of life lies beyond your comfort zone…

As we grow and expand, we can then enrich the lives of others.

[5 Simple Steps to Unshakeable Self-Confidence Series] Article #13 ~ Step 5: Create Your Own Circle of Self-Authority


Very few of us were taught to listen to our own voice, especially when it conflicted with the people who raised us.

As a result, most people continue to look to others for who they should be, what they should want, and how they should live their lives.

They never step into their own authority.

The self-confidence that they were born with lies in tatters.

And they never discover what they are truly capable of being or doing.

I think that’s criminal. And that’s why I’ve spent the past few months teaching you my five-step process for rebuilding your natural self-confidence.

Now, before I close this series, I want to leave you with one last teaching and a tool

Confidence Is a Decision
You could spend a lifetime getting ready to be your own authority, but that, alone, does nothing.

You have to make a decision.

You have to draw a line in the sand and say: “Enough! No one knows what I want better than I do. No one else is in charge of me but me.”

To help you make your decision clear and firm, I want you to create your own Circle of Self-Authority. It will only take a couple of minutes, but, as I’ll explain, its results can be far-reaching.

My Circle of Self-Authority

Fill in the spaces below.

This is who I am and what I stand for:

___________________________________________

This is what I want in my life:

___________________________________________

This is what I aspire to be, do or have:

___________________________________________

These are the experience I want to have in my life:

___________________________________________

This is how much money I want to make:

___________________________________________

This is how I want to give back to others in my life:

___________________________________________

This is also important to me:

___________________________________________


Your Rallying Cry to the Universe

Now, stand behind your list.

Allow everything in your life to emanate from it.

Let it determine who your friends and associates are, what you will and won’t tolerate, what agreements you will make, what direction you will go in, even where you choose to go on vacation.

If you stand behind yourself like that, not only will your self-confidence soar, but the universe will hear your firm decision as a rallying cry and begin to bring to you the experiences and people and opportunities that you’ve decided to have

In addition, your list will help you separate the wheat from the chaff.

We’re all bombarded with offers every day. If we’re not vigilant and focused on our goals, we can very easily get pulled off by the next, new shiny object into one direction after another that doesn’t serve us.

However, with your clear set of parameters about who you are and what you want, assessing new opportunities is easy.

Just ask yourself, “Does this move me closer to my goal?” If yes, consider it.

If not, walk away, secure in the knowledge that everything you need and want is on its way.

And your next step toward the future you’ve chosen is right around the corner.

How do I get over “faith emptiness” in my business?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from William.

Neagle Code Question

Hi David,

Over the years I have read works by Wattles, Allen and Holliwell, and been trained by Proctor. More recently I have become very aware of your excellent and thought-provoking work and perspectives. I am grateful for this.

As a business consultant I believe I do good work with clients, but I cannot understand ‘faith'. I have no religious beliefs. I believe I'm a good person too and strive to help all people achieve the success they desire.

Because I seemingly have no faith and you mention God, source, and use other terms, how do I get over this faith 'emptiness' I have and really move forward in my life and business, please?

Neagle Code Answer

Hi William,

Without faith, you wouldn’t be able to create anything in your life. So when you say you have no faith, you are incorrect.

You had faith that you can help people and so you did.

Faith is an expectation.

If you’ve read Wattles, Allen and Holliwell, you will notice there is no mention of faith in terms of religion. The faith they speak of is a faith in the power of our own ability to create what we want when we want it. The power of our own belief in what is possible and how expectation (faith) is an integral part of anything that you create.

I encourage you to re-examine your understanding of faith, and release the idea that you must have faith in some outside force (God, religion).

Instead continue to study truth in terms of Universal Law, and practice having faith in The Laws.

In fact, I’d like to invite you to join my no-cost conference call (happening next Friday, December 11, 2015) – where I'll be teaching more on this topic, live!

[5 Simple Steps to Unshakeable Self-Confidence Series] Article #12 ~ Step 5: Revel in Your Unshakeable Self-Confidence


If you practice Steps 1-4 as I’ve been teaching you to do in this series, a rise in self-confidence will occur as a natural result.

In other words, if you identify the thought that is keeping you stuck, and then replace that thought with one based on Universal Law (Steps 1 and 2), you’ve dealt with the part of your problem that you are consciously aware of.

However, it is often difficult to identify the real problem.

For example, earlier in this series, I told you about my client who was afraid to make sales calls because he cared so much what people thought about him.

I helped him to understand this was because he was still trying to get approval from his father, and because he didn’t accept himself.

Therefore, every sales conversation became a conversation with his father, where he wanted his prospects to accept him, too.

Not only does that kind of neediness repel clients, but if he’s seeking approval from his clients, he can’t help them. For instance, he won’t say what they need to hear if they might get mad at him as a result.

That’s not serving the client. That’s serving his own ego needs at the expense of the client.

Confidence from the Inside Out
When you put a new roof on your house, you don’t want to just slap new shingles onto a rotting roof deck. You want to make sure the decking is sound.

That’s why in Steps 3 and 4 I had you go deeper, into your subconscious, which, in fact, directs your results.

To change negative beliefs in your subconscious, I asked you to identify the cause of what you want, and then take bold action toward that goal.

For instance, the cause of deep friendships in your life is to be a friend yourself, and to take bold friendship actions on a daily basis.

By taking bold action, you get a new result, which your subconscious has to accept. That creates a new belief that then begins to direct even better results. And step by powerful step you begin to change your life for good.

This naturally infuses your entire being with confidence from the inside out.

Acknowledge and Celebrate
So here we arrive at Step 5, where you begin to see those fruits of your diligence and hard work.

The life you want is beginning to unfold before your eyes, and your confidence continues to grow. As your confidence grows, you take bigger and bolder actions, which creates an amazing upward spiral of results.

That’s wonderful, but don’t just gloss over your success.

Don’t just move on to the next big thing, without acknowledging your accomplishment, without saying to yourself: “Hey, look what I did!” Without feeling that healthy flush of pride, and letting it rush through you.

That’s why Step 5 is about acknowledgment and celebration.

I want you to pause for a moment to look back at how far you’ve come.

Revel in your new-found, unshakeable self-confidence.

And give yourself a big pat on the back for a job well done.
