Business Success Strategies – 5 More Keys To Unstoppable Belief

5 Keys To Unstoppable Success

In my last article on business success strategies, I explained the importance of developing Unstoppable Belief in order to achieve success. In this article, we look at 5 more key elements to your success in business.

1- Your True Capability Far Exceeds Your Current Capability. It has been well documented that the average person uses only around 5% their true potential mental capacity.  The mind is like a muscle, in order for it to develop and expand you need to train it.  Imagine if you could increase your abilities by just 10% a year – in 10 years you would be a 100% more magnificent version of you than you currently are! However, to effectively develop any muscle, you need to commit to a regular, well structured training programme, and the mind is no different. It is no good going ‘full-out’ for a week and then collapsing in an exhausted heap. To see lasting change you need to commit to a realistic time frame. Effective realisation of any goal requires that you take your end goal (in this example, a 10% increase year on year) and break it down into monthly, weekly and then daily tasks. Bite-sized, incremental steps that, when implemented consistently and persistently, will lead you step by step to your desired outcome. For our example, to keep it simple and to allow for the times when we know we will fall off the band wagon (!) our goal requires that we make just a 1% improvement a month for just 10 months of the year. Break it down further, that is just a 1/4% improvement week on week. How realistic do you think it is for a person to improve by a 1/4% each week? – Absolutely – most people will be chomping at the bit going “Only 1/4%? Let’s double it, let’s make it 1/2%.” Well then congratulations, you are now planning to be 100% better than you are now in just 5 years! But here is the key: Consistency. Whatever you feel you can do today, you must be prepared to still be doing 4 1/2 years down the line.

2- Visualise Success. “Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start seeing yourself as a success.” – Dr Joyce Brothers. Quantum physics and all the work that is currently being carried out on the power of the mind is now documenting what has been known in ancient cultures for thousands of years. Namely, what we think about we bring about. Robert Kennedy, quoting George Bernard Shaw, said “Some…see things as they are and ask Why? I see things as they could be and ask Why not?“  Vision boards, meditation, positive affirmations, gratitude journals, mind pictures, word pictures, all are variations on a very powerful theme – the minds of successful people saw their success long before the success became apparent to everyone else. In very simple terms, your subconscious cannot distinguish between a real event and an imagined event. So if you want to powerfully build up your belief system, feed stories of success to your subconscious mind. Your belief will begin to skyrocket because your mind sees ‘evidence’ of that success all around.

3- Practice Affirmations.  Affirmations work very powerfully on two counts. As noted in our last article, the conscious mind can only focus on one thing at a time, so by focusing on a powerful, positive statement of intent – i.e your affirmations, you are literally driving away negative thoughts and the impact these have on fostering limiting beliefs. The second reason, as stated above, is that the subconscious cannot tell ‘real’ from ‘imaginary’, so by feeding your subconscious on a daily basis, you are helping to re-wire the subconscious and our underlying belief systems. Recording your affirmations in your own voice to music and playing them back to yourself on a repeated basis just below the threshold of your conscious hearing, sends out powerful subliminal messages to your subconscious and is a technique that has been used to good effect in the sports and athletics world.

4- Draw Strength From A Higher Power.  When you can surrender to the knowing that everything happens for a reason and that ultimately that reason will serve you, the struggle stops and life instantly gets easier. Your belief will soar simply because you know. How you describe and refer to that higher power is totally your choice. Some people will choose to label that higher power ‘God’, others refer to it simply as the ‘Universe’ or ‘Spirit’. Napoleon Hill used to hold counsel with his imaginary ‘mastermind group’, drawn from the great minds of leaders both present and past. The underlying idea is the same: all highly successful people have drawn strength from the fact that they are not alone. there is a much higher source energy out there for you to draw from. Let go of your ego. You are not alone, all the help you need is right there. 

5- Find Others To Believe With You.  To succeed in business and indeed in life, you need to surround yourself with a community of like-minded people. Everyone needs people to believe in them. It’s hard enough staying positive during challenging times even when you are supported by positive people. Associating with negative people will act like the kiss of death to your dream. Develop a close mastermind of people to associate with and use this group as a spring board to soar your belief.

Of all your business success strategies, your ability to develop a powerfully Unstoppable Belief system is going to be key to keeping you in the game of success.
