I'm So Successful, I'm Scared I Might Fail

Years ago I was attending a "Wealth Mastermind" workshop in the Australian Sunshine Coast. A guy put up his hand to ask a question. I was sitting on the other side of the room, listening with increasing incredibility.

Here's what he asked:

"How can I cope with the fact that I am making too much money?"

Brendon - who was leading the session - took the question seriously.

"What's your problem with that?"

"It's freaking me out," the guy replied. "I'm not ready to be so successful."

How about you? Are you ready to be successful? It's a serious question, because many people find comfort in failure. It removes responsibility and pressure…

"I'm a nunce. I can't do that. I shouldn't even try."

And you blissfully turn on Netflix to gorge on the latest series. The guilt puffs away into a cloud of nothing, while the bills pile up at the front door.

To be successful, you need two things, not one.

1. Strategies for success (OBVIOUS)
2. Mind-sets for success (not so obvious)

These two work off each other.

A strategy with will not work without the corresponding mindset. Alternatively, having a positive mindset is not the same as having a good strategy. You need both to create a constructive plan, and the will to follow through with it.

With both, you can stay successful.

For example, in your Alexander work, it is important that you are willing to take advice from teachers –

you need a mindset that is prepared to learn,

prepared to accept when you are mistaken.

You also need to be determined to apply what you learn.

Students with acute back pain often listen better to our advice. This is an example of the mandatory mindset.

AND there are many desperate people, highly motivated to get better, who remain in trouble for a long time.

In their case what is missing is a plan. They have a strong wish, but no strategy or plan to follow.

At ATSuccess, the plan is the 12 Steps. You start with these three:

1. Your Passion - what gets you out of bed in the morning?
2. Your Community - what kind of people can you help best?
3. Your Service - how specifically will you help your community?

If your mindset is ready, come along in October and join me.

If your mindset is not ready, come along in October and join me.

Either way, we will work on BOTH mindset and strategies.
