I was invited to speak to a group of young budding entrepreneurs
on Your Wealth Mind-Set. I told a story of a budding entrepreneur who had a
brilliant product with the backing a mentor and financial start up.
The product was ready for market, the signs were promising but
running in the deep un-conscious mind is the message or the script that in
order to be successful you need a good education and a job in a reputable
company.
You see John (name changed to protect identity) knew from the
age of three that he wanted to be an entrepreneur. He would use egg boxes and a
range of household products to create his invention. He went to school and his
interest grew in being an inventor and entrepreneur.
His teachers told him he won’t make much progress if he does not
improve his English. John’s opportunities to expand and express his English was
hindered that the circumstances. The first language at home was Urdu, his wider
community spoke a range of Middle Eastern Languages but few of John’s immediate
contacts were proficient with English. There were few books in the home and
after school reading clubs were not available. John’s friends were mostly
within his community and deep friendship with children who were more proficient
with English was lacking.
John was held back at school and his passion for invention and
entrepreneurship was never encouraged. John became more and more discouraged
and eventually left school with below average grades and lost hope that he
could be the entrepreneur he wanted to be. His parents told him to give up his
idea and that he had wasted his time at school. John continued to spiral
downwards and eventually he became a case in the criminal justice system.
John was spotted by someone who saw his potential and the person
became a mentor to John who made significant progress with his ideas including
a sponsor to support the development of his ideas.
After a while John pulled back and was beginning to spiral down
again. It was at this stage that I was introduced to John who was unconscious
of the scripts and messages that were running his life.
You see John was told as a child:
- Business is for business people
- The only way to get on in life is
to get a good education and a good job
- You need good employment in a good
company so that you can to pay your bills
- You have lots of ideas but those
won’t feed the family
- Being in business is risky - A job
is safer and more secure
- We are working people - There is
no one in our family who has made a success of business and I don’t see
how you are going to be the first
There were 40 young people and young adults in the room and 95%
of them were identifying with similar stories and more.
What your parents believed and how they approach handing receiving
and giving money is logged in your blueprint and that is part of your success
and financial blueprint. The stories and saying you heard as a child
continue to run your life without you being aware until it is pointed out to
you.
- Are you or any one you
know able to relate to similar experience?
- Do you know the
scripts that are running your life?
- What have your
parents and significant others told you about business and money?
Even when you come to know better, unless you clear those
limiting messages and remove the scripts it is certain that you will return to
the default position of the earlier messages. That is why it is so important to
re-program your mind for success and build a wealthy mind-set. This is done by
cutting-edge brain-retraining methodologies to eliminate the limiting beliefs
permanently. With new beliefs that support your efforts to achieve your dreams
and take action on your ideas. As a result of this mind clearing and
re-programming your mind; you'll find it easy to maintain momentum, take the
right actions, and steadily build momentum towards your dream life.
I speak and teach on the neuro-science and financial success to
enable you to discover the strategies and skills you need to start leveraging
your success.
