Your beliefs will determine the way you think, which will determine the way you act. Today’s episode is an exercise I use with my clients, involving the “B.E.A.R.” mentality. Your full focus and energy in this exercise will bring you out of any slump, to redirect you on the right path to your success. Don’t say you don’t believe it till you try it! Let’s GO.

(7:21) Changing your beliefs, step 3: What would you have to believe, in order to feel this way?

Elon Musk once said, “You are paid in direct proportion to the size and difficulty to the problems that you solve”. In other words, the situation that you are currently in, is a pure product of your work ethic. Your effort will reflect your success. Are you doing what your dreams demand you to do? The next time you see a Tesla on the highway, refer back to this quote.

By far the most cost efficient, and most powerful way to learn, is to READ. It may not be the most appealing habit to stick, but it’s crucial. Consistency always exceeds quantity.
