Shhhhh.....Want to know the BEST KEPT SECRET BENEFIT about starting an online business?

What is this best-kept secret benefit??

√ It’s not the earnings, although that can be great.

√ It’s not the leverage (again, incredible opportunity).

√ It’s not the top-level mentoring through zoom, FB lives, and calls as awesome as that is!

√ It’s not even the sweet friendships from around the world that are made (and oh, so sweet they are!)

Want to know what it is?

Shhhhhh…..The secret is...

the personal growth that happens along the way.

That's it.

See, for your business to take off, to really grow, YOU personally have to grow.

How do you do that?

Well, first you need to do a little mindset work.

What is mindset? It's that belief pattern you continually go back to. Your default was probably set from childhood.

For example:

Think you can’t do this? Then you can’t.

Think you don’t deserve a high income? Then you won’t get it.

Think only others are worthy of bonuses, growth, and wealth? Then you will always be on the outside of that.

Whatever your thoughts, that is your default mode of thinking.

Thinking patterns become your default mode.

I love that the more we realize about the brain, the more we see that God’s word is so practical.

"...whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Phil 4:8, and “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ," 2 Cor. 10:5.

Give yourself a gift this holiday. Take some time to consider this. What we believe (our thinking patterns) drives our emotions. What we feel drives our actions. And our actions determine our outcome.

Be DELIBERATE in your thinking. STOP those negative thoughts and retrain your “default” into a positive mindset about yourself.

What is your limiting, negative belief? Write it down. For example, I don’t deserve it. I don’t know what to do. I am a failure. I’m afraid of success….

What is this limiting belief costing me?

What will it cost in the future to keep this belief?

These negative thoughts don’t have to continue. They are not coming down from the hand of God. Are

you ready to let go of them? Are you ready to replace them? Instead of “I don’t deserve it,” ask yourself why you think that. What caused that belief, and isn’t it time to let go of it? Instead think, “I am a hard worker, and deserve to earn a fair wage.” OR Instead of “I could never do this,” replace it with “ I am courageous and excited to try something new.” Say it out loud. Stop those negative thoughts!

My business has grown as I have personally grown. As I learned to recognize and deal with my negative, limiting beliefs it was as if the road I was on was cleared of debris that has hindered my way. What a freeing feeling. And it hasn’t been limited to business, the growth helps in all areas of life.

God gave you gifts and abilities, and talents for a reason. Don't let those negative thoughts steal what God intended to do through you.

Drop a note and let me know how you are letting go and growing through your limiting beliefs! What a sweet Christmas gift to yourself that would be!
