Exceptional leadership requires mastery over our limiting beliefs
Everyone has limiting beliefs & self-doubt to some degree.
- Regardless of success…it is the “dragon” that all of us have to learn how to “slay”
- You can’t avoid it – this resistance is real for everyone
So what is a “belief”?
- Beliefs aren’t necessarily “right” or “wrong”
- Instead, beliefs are “empowering” or “limiting”
- Beliefs can literally hold you back.
Tactics to overcome limiting beliefs; ask yourself these questions in order:
- Ask yourself: “Is this belief true?” (You will probably say “yes”)
- Ask yourself: “Is this belief beyond a shadow of a doubt?”
- Ask yourself: “How does this belief make you feel?”
- Ask yourself: “What would the opposite thought (belief) be?”
- The goal is to reveal the empowering belief that will allow you to take action
The reality is:
- You have to believe that you do matter…
- You have to believe that you can make a difference…
- It’s not a question of “Will I make a difference? but “What difference will I make?”
- A subtle but powerful mindset shift
Whatever it is you need to lead…you already have it inside of you…
- We are always one decision away from radically changing our lives
- You never know where that first step is going to take you
The main difference between leaders & non-leaders?
- Leaders take the first step!
- The greatest obstacle in this journey is always going to be you!
- You don’t have to look outward for leadership….you look inward.
- It begins with you…
The main difference between leaders & non-leaders?
- Leaders take the first step!Leadership is about influencing others…especially those closest to you
- Think about how much influence you have on those around you
- Playing small does not serve the world
- Overcoming our limiting beliefs we unconsciously give others permission to do the same
