Why is there so much negativity running through our minds? Why is it so hard to change it?
Beliefs influence our perceptions, our actions, our attitudes and the filters through which we see and experience our lives.
What would your life be like if you no longer believed:
I’m just not good enough?
I’ll never get what I want?
If I make a mistake or look like a failure I’ll be rejected?
The negative chatter in our head is because of beliefs we have about every aspect of ourselves and our life. When it comes to your sales, your success and what is possible for you, the beliefs which aren’t helping you get what you want in life must be changed or eliminated. The more you shift the beliefs that are of zero help in your sales the more room you allow for the good stuff to come to the forefront of your thoughts.
“we can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein
