Other Than Fear, What Holds You Back?

"Other than fear, what keeps you from achieving your goals?"

That was the challenge I was given by a fellow mastermind member, and it got me to thinking... 

I have since seen that same question play out over and over with countless clients as the fears and inner mental blocks stop them from achieving what they say they want to do. 

What's even more common is that fact that most did not even realize they were putting up roadblocks faster than they could get past the last one, and it makes sense. It hinders us and keeps us from the success we desire, but it makes sense why we do it.

1. Fear keeps us safe. Slowing down in the corner, riding the brake through the bend, and staying very center of your lane is a logical move when driving the family vehicle loaded with precious loved ones, but in the highly competitive world of business, these is no first place for middle of the road thinking. Success takes the hard inner line and staying off the brakes as long as possible.

2. Fear is logical. Our brain is hard wired to keep us safe. Physically, emotionally, and mentally safe.  Anything that will threaten that safety, is bound to trigger a fear response in the brain. It wants to keep us safe. Unless you have learned to override this automatic system, you are bound to it, regardless of the cost. 

3. Fear instantly rewards the survival part of the brain. We all know that there is nothing more powerful than instant gratification for instilling a habit or belief as truth. If yuo survived what the brain thought was an attack, than you must keep that belief and behavior - for next time.

But it doesn't have to remain this way...

One of the easiest ways to figure out what you have locked onto is to watch for a fear moment, or conjure the memory up to reflect on. Ask yourself, "What do I believe about the situation?" The answer might surprise you. Whatever it is, that is what is keeping you stuck and unable to hear the coaching you receive, or the messages coming to you from every side. 

"What have I locked onto" is just one of the question that will assist you as you Unlock Your Millionaire Mind" and begin to experience the power of the Apex in your personal life, and bottom line.
