Are you making excuses to play small?

This week’s question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

I’m a mom, wife, sister, caregiver, chauffeur, self employed hypnotherapist, and do volunteer work. Not enough hours in a day to focus on my love – my business. Help!!

Answer:

Ok, STOP!

Let’s go back again to what we know as truth.

The truth says that we are responsible for EVERYTHING in our lives, both the good and the bad.

If that’s the truth, I have to ask you why YOU have put yourself in the situation of being the mom, wife, sister, caregiver, chauffeur, volunteer and hypnotherapist?

There are thousands of entrepreneurs who are moms, sisters, caregivers, and more, and still have the time and energy to focus on their business.

Why have YOU made it so difficult for YOURSELF?

You see, people do this to themselves all the time. They make everyone in their lives more of a priority than themselves. Most times it’s because it allows them to stay small, which keeps them feeling safe.

So, how is it serving you stay small?

Why are you using your sister, husband, and children as excuses not to succeed?

Do you only feel worthy when you are providing for others and sacrificing yourself?

Are you worried about what other people will think of you if you FINALLY make yourself a priority? Will they think you’re selfish?

Let me tell you something… most people have the definition of selfish all wrong.

The true definition of the word selfish is: expecting others to live the life that you want to live. Many people think that if they live the life that they want to live it’s selfish, and they are WRONG.

The truth is the truth. You can be all the things that you mentioned and still be a successful hypnotherapist. Many have done it before you. I, myself, built my business to seven figures, and I was still a husband, father, brother, chauffeur, fixer of all things broken, and coach to others.

The difference is that successful people don’t use the situations in their lives as excuses to play small.

Are you setting goals and taking action?

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

Question:

David, you work with people to take their high-5 and low-6 figure businesses over the 7-figure mark. What do you suggest for those who have yet to make any money at all from their services?

Answer:

Great question.

First let me clarify something.

I work with anyone who wants to be or already is an entrepreneur. I work with people just starting out, and I work with people who have been in business for themselves for years. It makes no difference to me how much my students make because I know that to the Universe there is no difference between one dollar and a million dollars.

It’s all energy.

I firmly believe that every single human being on this planet has the same amount of money, as each of us has the potential, through individual thought and decision, to manifest what we want when we want it. It’s the truth.

Now, on to answer your question…

You’ve probably heard me talk about the importance of knowing where you are, right? Well, in this case if you’re going to set goals for yourself, it’s important that you get very honest with yourself about where you are right now in your business and your life.

Once you’ve done that, set your first goal. It could be a financial goal, “I’m going to make $1,000.00 this month.”, or it could be a benchmark goal, “I’m going to gain one new client this week.” It really doesn’t matter, as long as you can see yourself attaining the goal. You must be able to get behind it emotionally for you to truly to EXPECT your DESIRE to manifest. (Remember manifestation is a two part process: desire and expectation.)

After you’ve set your goal, you MUST TAKE ACTION. This is the place that trips up most people. I have many students that tell me they know what they should do, but they just can’t make themselves do it. This place is what I call your blind spot. You know you should be doing something, and yet, you catch yourself playing Farmville instead of making sales calls. Without action there is no manifestation. If you can identify with this, I suggest you attend my free teleclass on Sept 30th. It’s all about the dreaded blind spot.

Once you’ve taken action, you ADAPT to what happens because of that action, and you remain open to new opportunities.

The cycle then repeats beginning with you setting a new goal, “I’m going to make $2,000.00 this month.”, and pretty soon and in a very short time, you’ve created a successful business.

The time it takes you to build that business depends on how quickly you move through the steps, and how long you allow yourself to flounder around before getting help if you need it.

The great thing about this cycle is that it pertains to new business owners who haven’t made a cent in their business, and it also rings true for entrepreneurs who are already at the 5 or 6 figure mark. It’s the same for everyone. And it’s what I use to help my students achieve their dreams both financially and personally.

So, I guess the question would be; why aren’t you making any money in your business?

Abundance is all around you.

Come on, get going…

People are waiting for you to shine your brilliant light, so what are you resisting?

What happens when you hear “no”?

Here is this week’s question from my portalThe Neagle Code: Directions for Life.  The person who sent in the question wished to remain anonymous.

Question:

Despite all my efforts at helping others through my publications and coaching services, I am not receiving any compensation (money) back, except in small 2- and 3-figure amounts, and then only occasionally. What am I doing wrong? Help!

Answer:

Great question! But let me ask you a few things first…

How do you feel about sales? Are you comfortable ASKING for compensation and SELLING your services? It’s one thing to ask the Universe for something, it’s another thing entirely to ask another human being. Chances are, if you’re helping people, and you’re not happy with what they are paying you, the problem lies within your own self worth and ability to ask for what you want. What is your emotional response when a prospective client tells you, “No.”? Do you feel it personally or do you learn from the experience and get back on the phone, knowing that their response, either yes or no, has nothing to do with you?

Most people with this problem have some sort of underlying belief about sales. The truth is, we were born salespeople. If you have children, you’ll know what I am talking about. They are some of the best salespeople on the planet. It’s just that most people have inherited their parents’ beliefs about money and have tied it to their own self worth. Therefore, they don’t make the sales they need, because they have connected the word “no” with personal rejection, and rejection is not a good feeling.

You see, Katie, there’s not one simple answer to this question, but if you start taking a good honest look at what you’re doing, and what emotions you are experiencing, you’ll become more aware of what’s causing the problems.

Here are some TRUTHS to help push you past this roadblock:

1. If the need for money is there, the money must be there also.

2. Sales is not something you do TO someone, it’s something you do FOR someone.

3. Spirit is your source, but the money must flow THROUGH people to get to you. What are you resisting doing that is keeping the money from coming to you?

And when in doubt, ask for help from someone who is more successful than you are. Very few things are more beneficial than a mentor.
