How Not to Take βOne Step Backβ
This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Anna.
Iβve been quite successful recently. My business has grown and grossed more money than ever. I have higher net profits, and a strong vision for my goals and why Iβm doing this.
However, I feel like I take a big step forwardβ¦then I take a step back. I end up with a βnetβ forward, but not as much as Iβd like.
Why do I self-sabotage after doing really well?
Thanks!
Anna
Hi Anna,
Thanks for the question!
You have whatβs called a βfinancial set point.β
We all have an internal compass that dictates how much money or success weβre allowed to have. Itβs set at a certain level (based on our programming), and once we go past that levelβ¦ it gets stuck.
Thatβs when you find yourself βtaking a step back.β
To break through this, you must first understand whatβs actually taking place in your mind.
Letβs say you start making a lot of money β far more than what you were programmed to make.
Your financial set point immediately kicks in.
Once your brain senses that youβre making more moneyβ¦ it runs away from that, because it thinks itβs not safe. (Itβs unknown.)
Our mind hits this place where it goes, βYouβre OK here. You can back off from whatever you were doing.β And you take your foot off the gas.
It will cause you to βnot feel like doing the work today.β
It will cause you to βget depressed.β (Or sick. Or tired.)
It will create some kind of βextenuating circumstanceβ in your life β anything to knock you off the disciplined routine you have for earning.
Your internal financial βgovernorβ is literally controlling your behavior.
It will bring you right back to wherever your βfinancial set pointβ is.
Before you know it, youβve dropped back down, and it takes all your energy to get it back up. You get exhausted. It drops back even further. We go through this cycle our entire lifeβ¦ without realizing whatβs going on.
(Thatβs why youβll have one month where you make βthe most money youβve ever made beforeββ¦ followed by a $0 month or several low months.)
In these moments, ask yourself, βWhy I am taking my foot off the gas?β
The way to break through it is to keep going, no matter what.
Keep your eye on your goal.
You have to make an agreement with yourself that youβll keep going β keep doing the actions needed to bring in the money β so that you can have a breakthrough.
The whole idea is that you never stop. You continually break through and take action to move you forward.
By doing this, youβre reprogramming your mind to believe thereβs an abundance.
If you do this, then youβll break through it forever.
