Secrets to Creating the Life You Really Want

Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. – David Frost

This sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? Then why is it that so many of us are NOT doing what we love? Why do we settle for a paycheck when we could be creating something so much more, both financially and beyond? Yep, you guessed it… FEAR OF FAILURE. How do some of us overcome this while others remain paralyzed? I am certainly not unfamiliar with confronting my fears, so here are my proven tips for overcoming fear in your life:

Develop a habit of courage.  Stop avoiding what you fear or it will continue to have power over you. The fear of something is much often worse than the source. But confront it, and then do it over and over, and the fear will lose its power. Every successful person will tell you they had to take risks and be courageous in order to get where they are.

  1. Act “as if.” I am, I can, I earn – only write and speak in the present tense, not in the future. The unconscious mind only registers in the present tense. Act “as if” it is already a fact.
  2. Be completely committed! The top people in ANY field are completely committed. They believe wholeheartedly in themselves, their product, service or company. The depth of your belief in something is equal to what happens in your reality.
  3. Love what you do and sincerely care about others. Why is it that so many women are leaping to the top of the sales force? It is because, more often than not, women make it clear how much they care. When people believe you care they will buy from you, follow you and respect you. Be genuine! When you love what you do and truly care about others there is less room for fear to come into your life.
  4. Develop a Dream Team!  Too many of us develop a habit of helplessness. We fall in love with the excuses of why we cannot be, do, have or achieve something in our lives. Instead, surround yourself with people who have the qualities you aspire to and can lend great guidance. You cannot feel helpless when you have created a team that truly supports and inspires you.
