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

January 2, 2016

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

Hi David,

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

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

December 26, 2015

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

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?

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

December 19, 2015

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

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.

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

December 17, 2015

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?

December 5, 2015

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

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?

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

December 3, 2015

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.

Where’s the Money?

November 28, 2015

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

Hey David,

First off thank you for everything you are doing, your insights are helping me greatly and knowing where you came from encourages me.

You have said that we have the ability to bring in the amount of money to do what we need and want to do through creating a sense of urgency. When you say “bringing in the money” do you consider borrowing as a part of “manifesting money”? Just wanting to be clear on what options you are referring to so I don't shut out any opportunities based on old beliefs.

Thank you for your help. God Bless.

Hi and thanks for the great question!

The simple answer to your question is …yes.

Let me explain.

To manifest means to become aware that something already exists.

When you have a desire and it’s coupled with a sense of urgency, the Law of Polarity states that the way to fulfill that desire must also be present and possible. Which means, that the money you need for that desire is also present, you just may not be aware that it’s already here.

It may be hiding behind an opportunity, tucked away in your savings account, or with someone else.

Borrowing is a perfectly acceptable way to “bring in” money. Obviously I would advocate that you abide by the payment terms of what you’ve borrowed.

Remember, money does not come from people, it comes from Spirit THROUGH people.

How do I convince my prospects to invest in my programs?

November 21, 2015

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

Dear David,

I have a strong desire to build a successful business, but how do I convince my prospects to invest in my programs? I know, without a doubt, that I can help them, but no one is BUYING!! How can I make THEM see that I can help them get what they want?

Hi Janet, and thanks for the great question!

The truth is…you should NEVER convince anyone to buy anything.

If you feel like you must convince, there are huge parts of your sales process that you’re missing.

Here’s a quick checklist to help you go from convincing (which never ends well), to influencing (which empowers).

1) Have you clearly discovered what they truly want?
Note: This should be their deep desire. It’s usually NOT the 1st thing they say they want.

2) Have you clearly explored with them what they think is stopping them from getting what they want?

3) Have they told you, in detail, what will happen if they don’t overcome this problem?

4) Have you excited the possibility that things can be different?

5) Do you have a clear understanding of their willingness to change?

6) Will your program or package support them in solving this problem within their desired timeframe?

If you can confidently answer these questions, and your prospect can clearly see the light at the end of their tunnel, there should be no convincing needed.

In fact, your prospect will be grateful for the conversation and desire to continue working with you!

And just a reminder…if you enter into a sales conversation with closing a sale on your mind, you’re not showing up in service to your client.

Add value to their life and value will be added to yours.

That in itself can make all the difference.

[5 Simple Steps to Unshakeable Self-Confidence Series] Article #11 ~ Step 4: Take Bold Action Toward What You Want

November 19, 2015

Like most people, you probably have some areas of your life that are abundant, and some that aren’t.

You probably also have a story about why you’re not abundant in those particular areas.

If you’ve been following this series, you know that story is very likely a lie. It’s an excuse that is preventing you from having what you want.

Because, as I told you last time, whatever you’re experiencing or not experiencing in your life is just an effect.

It’s the direct result of something you’re doing or not doing.

It follows, then, that every result that you want to have in your life would have a direct cause as well.

Identifying that cause was the work of Step 3.

For Step 4, I want you to outline the path that Step 3 uncovered, and then take bold action toward your dream.

How to Make It Bold
I say “bold,” because it’s an engine; it’s a force that strongly pushes forward what you want.

That makes sense, doesn’t it?

If you take lackluster actions, you’re going to get lackluster results.

But if you take bold actions, you’re going to get bold results.

So what do bold actions entail?

They usually put you on the line in some way. You might be exposing yourself, risking disapproval or rejection, or upsetting someone’s idea of who you should be.

A Bold Example
For example, let’s say that, as a youth, you were teased or bullied. As an adult it’s difficult for you to trust, and you’re carrying around an “I can’t have friends” story in your head.

Now, tired of being isolated and lonely, you’ve decided to change that old story, so that you can have healthy, supportive, fun, and intimate friendships.

When you applied Step 3, you realized that the cause of rich friendships was to look at yourself and consider how you can take steps to BE a better friend yourself.

Applying Step 4, you now make a list of bold friendship actions and start doing those actions on a daily basis.

Those bold friendship actions include:

* call one acquaintance every day, just to say hello and ask how they're doing.

* send one thank you card every other day to someone who made a difference in your life.

* take responsibility for a past misunderstanding or argument, and make a weekly phone call to make amends.

* allow yourself to be vulnerable and trust, and open up about something that matters to you to someone you want to be closer to.

How Bold Changes Your Life
By putting yourself on the line and risking rejection on a daily basis, you are giving yourself a new experience that runs counter to your old story, and that your subconscious has to accept.

This creates a new belief, an “I can have friends” story that allows those friendships to manifest in your life, while also building your self-confidence.

Before long, you’re brimming with healthy friendships and confidence, and your life will never be the same.

I work and hustle for success. Am I being irresponsible?

November 14, 2015

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

Dear David,

I have been passionate about building my business. I invest, I work hard, and do my best to provide for my family. And yet, I overhear people talking about how I’m being irresponsible…

I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. Am I really being irresponsible to want to build a successful business?

Hi Bryan.

The short answer is:

No, you’re not irresponsible.

Let me explain.

The definition of responsibility is the ability to respond. If you are investing AND willing to do what it takes to respond and pay back those debts, you are absolutely NOT acting irresponsibly. Now if you were to go down to the local Wal-Mart and spend your life savings on a bunch of TVs and Doritos without any thought of how you were going to pay for it, THAT would be irresponsible.

What’s really happening is this:

When you change and grow, you force the people in your life to adapt to your changes. Your growth highlights where they are not growing and makes them very uncomfortable.

This in turn translates to one of two things.

Either they support your growth.

OR

They don’t support your growth.

It sounds like the people in your life who are calling you irresponsible are uncomfortable with your growth and passion.

You may want to re-evaluate your relationship with them, accept them for who THEY are, and make a choice based on what you want for your life.

It’s not a myth that you are a product of the 5 closest people in your life.
