Why Your Beliefs Are The Secret To Success

By Joe Mangano


One of the most powerful and fastest techniques for you to gain a higher level of fulfillment in your career (or in life) is to model other people that have already attained outstanding fulfillment in similar areas. Effective modeling starts with understanding the core beliefs of the people you are studying.

What are Beliefs?

Beliefs are the ideas and the concepts we've all got about who we are and about the way in which the world operates. Beliefs are the ideas that we live by either consciously or unknowingly. While beliefs play a big role in our lives, amazingly, our beliefs are not always primarily based on objective evidence or proof.

Why are beliefs necessary to me?

Beliefs, in effect , rule our lives, and learning the way to change core beliefs can make the biggest difference between a successful, joyful life or a sad desperate life.

According to Tony Robbins the world renowned, personal development and motivational coach, "Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. People have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and make a meaning that disempowers them or one that may actually save their lives."

There are 2 distinct classes of beliefs.

1. limiting beliefs - beliefs that constrain us in some shape. For instance, 'I am not successful at making cold calls '

2. empowering beliefs = beliefs that support us and evoke us to action. For instance, 'Anything I put my mind to I am able to accomplish ' or 'I can beat any competitor because I am a superb sales rep ' or 'I know how can I increase sales in any competitive sales situation'.

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, declared," You can be anything you would like to be, if you only believe with acceptable conviction and act as per your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."

Now, go and identify 3 people you believe to be seriously successful, isolate and internalize a few of their core beliefs regarding life and success.

Remember this, when you believe in yourself you will be able to achieve anything. Always trust yourself and never quit.
