We can learn a great deal from people who achieve amazing victories outside of MLM network marketing because what makes them top achievers is what will make you a top successful Internet marketing entrepreneur too and that’s what this business personal development post is all about.
Do you even know who Jessica Watson is? Unless you live in Australia you could be forgiven for not not knowing, although this young pioneer did make worldwide headlines this past weekend.
She became the youngest person to sail around the world solo and unassisted. I don’t know about you but I was certainly not taking on challenges of this proportion when I was 16 years old.
What a truly amazing feat. Let me put this into a little bit of perspective for you.
She has just returned to Sydney after traveling 23 000 nautical miles on her own which took her 210 days or 7 months if you prefer, of being totally alone out on the big blue sea. All this in a 10.23m yacht called “Ellas’ Pink Lady” .
She spent every one of those days trying to stay on board to achieve her goal. This meant having to to be a sailor, navigator, cook, doctor, engineer, psychologist – the lot! It meant taking on all of these roles despite having to face skyscraper waves, wild storms, solitude, equipment breakdowns and a host of other associated dangers.
When she left Sydney all those months ago there were many who said she was foolish, that she was too young, inexperienced and wouldn’t make it. She proved every one of the naysayers wrong, coming home to a reception in the harbor that rivaled new years eve celebrations in it’s magnitude.
The Australian prime minster said at her reception that she was a true hero but what was significant for me was her response. She said that she did not see herself as a hero but an ordinary teenager with a dream and the belief to make it come true.
And therein lies the gold. I have heard her say in subsequent interviews that the biggest lesson for her was realizing that anything is possible. What awesome wisdom to have at such a young age. I can only think that she has set herself up to be very successful no matter what she does with her life in the future.
How many of us would like to have more Jessica Watsons in our teams? How many of us are like Jessica Watson?
To be successful in your business you must have a dream, a big enough reason why you want that success but you also need to have the belief to fuel the journey.
It took me a long time to realize that belief is not a conscious phenomenon. Because you say you believe something, a conscious expression, does not mean you do. Beliefs don’t reside in the conscious but in the sub conscious and they may be quite different to what you say your beliefs are.
How do you know if you believe something? When you keep at whatever it is you’re doing long enough to achieve your dream. What happens if you don’t stick with it? It’s possible you did not have the beliefs necessary to support your dream.
Beliefs are the cumulative effect of life long programming. As a result of past negative programming we sometimes think and act in ways that are self defeating despite what we try to put in place consciously.
If you are doing all the right things in your business and yet you still don’t seem to be making any headway then it is possible that you have some limiting beliefs standing in your way. Until you know what these are and until you address these beliefs you will continue to find it very difficult to find success.
This is why Jim Rohn said, “You must work more on yourself than your business.”
The way in which you go about this is as unique as you are. One thing is for sure, you will need to to do a lot of self development work and you are far better off finding ways to work with your sub conscious so that you can have a direct impact on any self limiting beliefs you may have.
One of the most effective ways to do this is to work with Neuro linguistic programming techniques. This is what self development guru, Anthony Robins and many other leaders in the field use. I have worked with these techniques myself by way of a tool called The NLP Secret. If you want to know more about this click here – The NLP Secret
