But like most people he doesn\u2019t accomplish them.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because Mike has what I call subconscious blocks. We all have some subconscious blocks, even I do.<\/p>\n<p>However, when you have too many of them, or when you have blocks that don\u2019t allow you to succeed or don\u2019t allow you to live the kind of life you want, then these blocks really need to be removed as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, all subconscious blocks need to be removed, but let\u2019s focus on those that stop you (and Mike) from living the kind of life you want to live.<\/p>\n<p>These subconscious blocks are a combination of negative thoughts, negative beliefs and negative perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>While you may want to accomplish a specific goal, any negative thoughts, negative beliefs and negative perceptions tied to the achievement of that goal will block you or prevent you from accomplishing it. No matter how much you may want to succeed, those subconscious blocks won\u2019t allow you to experience the success you want or even feel you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>Your subconscious simply follows your thoughts, beliefs and perception. These are its marching orders.<\/p>\n<p>So while you may want to accomplish a particular goal, and you may feel you deserve to accomplish that that goal, if you\u2019re thoughts, beliefs and perceptions run counter to what you want, then you simply won\u2019t succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Your subconscious will just make sure your life is a reflection of your consistent thoughts, beliefs and strongly held perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can do to remove those subconscious blocks.<\/p>\n<p>Most people aren\u2019t even aware of the negative thoughts, negative beliefs and negative perceptions they carry. So to get rid of your subconscious blocks you need to be open minded and pay attention to your thoughts and what you say.<\/p>\n<p>Your words are a direct reflection of your thoughts, beliefs and perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to make more money and you\u2019re talking to a friend about making more money and you say things like: \u201cit\u2019s hard to make money\u201d or \u201cthere are no good ways to make money\u201d or \u201cyou have to be ruthless to make more money\u201d or anything that says making money is difficult or not good, then you have some negative thoughts, negative beliefs, and negative perceptions about money.<\/p>\n<p>When that happens you have to be open minded enough to realize that you have a subconscious block which needs to be changed, the sooner the better.<\/p>\n<p>Then you have to track your thoughts when you think about achieving a specific goal. Keep a journal handy and write them down. Then take a close look at them.<\/p>\n<p>Those that you deem negative or those that don\u2019t allow you to experience the success you truly desire need to be removed and replaced with thoughts, beliefs and perceptions that allow you to accomplish your goal.<\/p>\n<p>Changing or replacing them can be challenging because many of your subconscious blocks have been with you for quite some time. They\u2019re part of your life and you feel that\u2019s just the way things are.<\/p>\n<p>So it will take some work to replace your negative thoughts, negative beliefs and negative perceptions, but it will be well worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have new thoughts, new beliefs and new perceptions which allow you to succeed and get what you want in life you\u2019ll simply feel better, enjoy life more and live with a renewed sense of purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine how good it would feel to accomplish one of those goals that you\u2019ve never been able to accomplish so far?<\/p>\n<p>For Mike, if he were to finally get his business up and running it would likely change his entire life. Just one goal accomplished can have a significant impact.<\/p>\n<p>Now get started on identifying and removing those subconscious blocks. You\u2019ll be amazed at what you discover, and you\u2019ll be even more amazed at how much better your life will be once you remove those blocks that have been holding you back for so long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I ran into an old friend who talked about starting up his own business\u2026 again.
