The following is a guest post by my friend and mentor Morty Lefkoe.  Morty struggled to make lasting changes in his life for 45 years until he figured out a way to unlearn the beliefs that held him back. He turned what he discovered into a repeatable process that he used to help others—including family, friends, and eventually 150,000 individuals and over 50 corporations—unlearn their limiting beliefs. He shares what he discovered with readers like you in his weekly blog at http://www.mortylefkoe.com

How negative beliefs will keep you from achieving wealth

by Morty Lefkoe

About a year ago Joe Vitale and I were having dinner at my home in Northern California. At some point we started discussing the Law of Attraction (LOA). Both of us agreed that no matter what we felt, what we focused on, and what we did, if we had a bunch of limiting beliefs serving as barriers to achieving personal success—whether you measure that by money, position, or a general sense or happiness—it would be difficult if not impossible to get what we wanted.

Let me explain why.

Why beliefs have the power they do

A belief is a statement about reality that we feel is “the truth.” Our beliefs seem like facts to us. So if you believe life is difficult, relationships don’t work, or money is hard to get, for you, those are facts about the world. You will deal with life as if they are as real as the device on which you are reading the words.

I conducted a survey of my mailing list a few years ago and asked them to name the six most common beliefs that could keep them from achieving financial abundance. Here is how they answered (the most important one first):

If you really thought these six statements were accurate descriptions of reality, can you see how you would be blocked in your ability to create financial abundance in your life?

• You would have to work very hard all the time (which is not really a good way to enjoy your life) and, if you didn’t, you wouldn’t expect to make money.

• How motivated could you be to make money if you really were convinced you would never have enough? And if somehow you did have “enough,” there would be the constant fear that you would lose it, because you don’t expect to have enough.

• You would expect to struggle all the time to make money. And if you were unwilling to struggle all the time, you wouldn’t even try to make money.

• The fourth belief is an interesting one because it is a self-esteem belief, not a belief directly related to money. If you really believe that you aren’t deserving, you will unconsciously resist getting what you want. And like the second belief, if somehow you did get some money, you probably would find some way to lose it because you wouldn’t deserve to have it.

• If you really believe there is never enough money, you will never be satisfied with what you have. You will always experience needing more money no matter how much you have. This dooms you to dissatisfaction no matter how much wealth you accumulate.

• The final belief isn’t even about making money or achieving financial abundance as such; it is a belief about life, one that is very common. If you expect life to be difficult, it will be.

Self-esteem beliefs can also sabotage your ability to accumulate wealth

These are only the major beliefs specifically relating to achieving abundance. It should be clear that self-esteem beliefs could affect your financial situation—beliefs like I’m not good enough, I’m inadequate, I’m not capable, I’m not competent, I’m powerless, and I’ll never get what I want.

Is it real now that your beliefs could severely sabotage your ability to earn money and accumulate wealth? In other words, personal success will probably always be just outside your reach.

Is eliminating beliefs sufficient?

But what happens if you eliminate all the beliefs that could interfere with your accumulating money? Will that insure your financial security? Unfortunate, the answer is, no.

If you have a behavior you want to stop, such as procrastination, or a negative feeling, such as anxiety, if you eliminate all the beliefs that cause the behavior or the emotion, they will permanently stop. Guaranteed.

But attaining wealth is not a behavior or a feeling; it is something that has to happen in reality. And, although getting rid of limiting beliefs can increase the possibility of something happening in reality, eliminating beliefs will not insure it.

There are many factors determining your ability to accumulate wealth

In order to earn money you have to offer people something of value they are willing to pay for. If you have nothing to offer, or if your price is higher than what people think the product or service is worth, or if your expenses are higher than your revenues, etc. you will never earn much money.

If you want to work for someone else and don’t have the skills that employers are looking for, or if you aren’t particular effective at what you do, or if you are late in doing what you are asked to do, etc., the chance of getting or keeping a job, much less a promotion and raise, is not very good.

So getting money depends on more than eliminating beliefs, as important as that is. It is a precondition, but not sufficient in itself. You also need an effective strategy that is implemented well.

Eliminating beliefs can help you find the best course of action

Getting rid of beliefs will not only remove barriers, as discussed earlier, it also creates possibilities for taking action that significantly improves your chances of doing what needs to be done to make money.

Let me explain how eliminating beliefs creates new possibilities that didn’t exist before. Imagine you had the beliefs: I’m not loveable, relationships don’t work, and men/women can’t be trusted. If you really believed that is the way reality is, what would be the possibility for you to have a good, nurturing, loving, long-term relationship? Slim to nil, right?

Now let’s imagine that you totally eliminated those three and a few other related beliefs. Can you see that without changing anything else about you or reality, you now have possibilities for a good, nurturing, loving, long-term relationship that you didn’t have before.

How eliminating beliefs creates new possibilities

My wife Shelly, a Certified Lefkoe Method Facilitator who has helped thousands of clients eliminate the beliefs that stop them, tells the following story about personal success..

A client called her one day and told Shelly that she and several friends had just attended T. Harv Eker’s “Millionaire Mind” workshop, after which she purchased the summerhouse of her dreams. She was so excited that she just had to tell Shelly that what she had learned in the course had enabled her to do it.

Shelly pulled out the client’s file and read her some of the beliefs she had recently eliminated: Money is scarce and hard to get. Mistakes and failures are bad. If I make a mistake and fail I’ll be rejected. You have to save your money for a rainy day. Taking risks with money is dangerous. I’m not deserving.

Shelly then asked her: “Regardless of what you learned in the course, do you think you would have purchased the house had you not eliminated these beliefs first.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Finally the client responded: “Probably not.”

Shelly then asked: “What did your friends buy or do to increase their income after they finished the course?”

The client answered slowly: “Nothing.”

In other words, you need the possibility for something to happen before it can happen. When you create possibilities, you see things you can do that you never saw before. And eliminating beliefs is the best way to create new possibilities.

So what do I do to accumulate wealth?

Although getting rid of beliefs is not sufficient to make money, it certainly is one of the most important things you can do if you ever hope to accumulate wealth. And if you take advantage of the possibilities that get created when the appropriate beliefs are eliminated, your chances of personal success and financial abundance increase exponentially.

What are you waiting for?

“I love your book.”

“Which one?” I asked.

I was talking to my lawn care guy.

“The new one, the one called At Zero, the one where you explained the history and inner secrets of that Hawaiian thing I can’t pronounce.”

Get book today and get gifts!

“You mean ho’oponopono?” I asked.

“Yea. That one. I loved your book Zero Limits but this new one blew the lid off my mind.”

“What did you like about the new book?”

“You really showed me how deep you go in using the method,” he explained. “I was amazed to read about your own dark night of the soul and how you went so deep to unravel how you attracted it and how you got out of it.”

“Thank you.”

New book out today!

“Most people think they are working on themselves when they aren’t; not really. Your stories reveal how to dig into the heart of change.”

“I appreciate that.”

“Plus I didn’t know I was doing ho’opo wrong,” he confessed. “Your book really opened my eyes.”

“Yea, a lot of people don’t get how the method actually works to bring on miracles.”

“I also didn’t know that that ho’opono-thing came from such dark beginnings.”

“Most people don’t,” I said.

“The final secret that you reveal took me a while to get,” he said. “I almost missed it until I realized you spelled it out in this new book and my mind wasn’t letting me see it.”

“Our minds are tricksters,” I said.

“Well, I loved this new book At Zero and sure hope you sell a lot of them as it can really help people.”

“Thank you again.”

“Well, I better finish your lawn.”

The secret to making 2014 better than any previous year is easy: do something different.

Don’t do just anything different, of course.

Be smart about your conscious change.

Here are three steps to help you make 2014 awesome:

With singer Sarah Marie on my 60th birthday

1. Declare a Specific New Intention.

Intentions engage your body-mind-spirit and also alert the Universe to your desire. State a new intention, or a revised old one; one that inspires and delights you, but one that is also doable in baby steps. In other words, “I intend to earn a million dollars in 2014” might be too big a jump. It might engage limiting beliefs. But a goal such as, “I intend to attract 5% more income each month” may be more believable and doable to you. The idea is for the intention to be within reach while still a stretch; something you can get to with daily steps. I also think your intention should be inspired, meaning it feels like a directive from the Divine and not an indulgence of your ego. Again, your past intentions/goals/resolutions may have been too big, or not connected to your core passion. Reassess and restate. Today’s the day.

Don't ask. The flying dolphin has to mean something.

2. Take Daily Baby Step Actions.

The Law of Attraction requires action. Do daily steps toward the intention. Often people set such big goals that they don’t know where to start, so they get overwhelmed and don’t do anything. It’s far wiser to break down the intent into little things you can do every day. You may not be able to make 100 cold calls all at once, but you can make 2 or 3 a day. You may not be able to release excess weight in one week, but you can do something daily to move in that direction, such as walking, drinking more water, etc. You may not be able to write a book in a day or a week, but you can write a little every day, and in time you will see a book. The point is by doing something every day, you will move to your goal. This is a simple thing you can implement today. I mean, right now.

With my love, Nerissa

3. Get Support.

Get allies. You’ll have far greater success in 2014 if you surround yourself with people who believe in you, and cut ties with the critics and naysayers who don’t. Having your own Miracles Coach is the number one thing you can do to make the new year a true stand-out for you. The right coach can keep you accountable, motivated, inspired and informed. One of the reasons for my successes in so many areas, including most recently in music, is having a support team. I always have a coach to help me “get clear” of any limiting beliefs within myself. The more I clear out the internal blocks, the faster I tend to achieve and attract my goals. This is the secret to greatness: get a coach.

Obviously, there are lots of things we could talk about to help make 2014 a record breaker for you, but the above three steps are the keys to change.

Sooooo….

Celebrating my 60th as king

Let’s review —

1. Declare a specific new goal. What’s yours? Think believable but BIG.

2. Take daily actions. What will you do each day? Baby steps lead to adult results.

3. Get support. Who will be your allies and coach? Enroll in Miracles Coaching.

PS – And be looking for this head spinning new book, the long awaited sequel to Zero Limits, coming out in just a few days…

Coming January 7th!

Recently, when the Mega Millions lotto was up to a staggering hundreds of millions of dollars, I sent this email to a handful of friends –

“The lottery is at over half a billion dollars. If you won it, what would you do differently?”

Two of my friends took the question for what it was: a prosperity exercise designed to reveal your true desires.

With Daniel Barrett

Daniel Barrett, my music producer and my coauthor of the forthcoming book, The Remembering Process, listed well over a dozen ways he would spend, give, or invest the money.

It was pretty impressive, and got me thinking about my own list.

With Lori Anderson

Lori Anderson, another dear friend who supports me in all my endeavors, author of the new book, Divorce with Grace, listed her number one desire: to have her own television talk show.

She, also, got me thinking.

Their serious answers made me reflect on how I would act if I won the Mega Millions lotto, too.

What would I do differently?

Or what else would I do, with hundreds of millions of dollars to spare?

So I made my own list, which was eye-opening. (Apparently there are more music albums and more books in me.)

What about you?

Making a list of what you would do with that much money can be revealing, but it’s only the first step.

Note: Many people claim to have a system to help you win the lottery. Here’s one I have heard of (but not tried): http://outrageous.hooke1.hop.clickbank.net

The second part of the exercise is to ask yourself what you can do right now, even if baby steps, to move toward creating your desires.

It’s not about the lotto. Virtually everyone dreams of winning it, but almost none are prepared for it. You have to grow into handling that much more money. For many, it is too much, too soon.

But you can use the prosperity exercise of pretending you won to –

• Reveal your true calling, life mission, or heart’s desire.
• Reveal what actions you can take right now, in whatever small way you can, without more money.

Again, most people need to grow into having more money.

I’ve landed some pretty big publishing, speaking, and consulting deals. But had that money come when I was homeless or in poverty, or still struggling on a limited income, I would not have been able to handle the wealth.

I had to dissolve inner limiting beliefs about money, success, self-worth, and more to allow more money to come into my life.

This is why so many lotto winners lose their money. They aren’t ready for it.

Again, I invite you to use the fantasy of the lotto win to reveal your true desires, and then to nudge you to look in the mirror and ask what you can do right now to make your dreams come true.

And don’t deceive yourself into thinking you would just blow the money on cars and furs and travel and such. You can play with the kid’s view of money — “I’d buy a house full of candy!” – but you want to go deeper.

After you buy the new cars and the big houses and the world cruises and all the toys, wine and cheese that you want; and after you pay off all your debt and give money to family and friends and causes you believe in; what would you then do?

This is what “The Lottery Secret” is all about.

Face it —

You don’t need more money.

You need clarity and action.

Clarity.

Action.

That’s it!

With those, the money (or whatever may actually help you achieve your desire) will show up.

But you have to start the ball moving with clarity and action.

And you can begin right now by playing “The Lottery Secret” prosperity game.

So here’s the question again…

“The lottery is at over half a billion dollars. If you won it, what would you do differently?”

Well?

Recently I spent the weekend listening to The Zero Point, my newest audio program from Nightingale-Conant.

It might seem odd to hear that I listened to my own program, but you have to remember that I more or less “channel” my new programs.

I don’t use a script or read from a book.

Inspiration directs me and I just follow the lead.

Brand new!

The result amazes me, and makes me want to listen to my own audios to hear what I said. 🙂

For example, The Zero Point reveals — for the first time anywhere –The Law of Zero.

It also explains how to send requests to the Divine but also, more importantly, how to receive inspiration.

And there are great processes, like meeting Morrnah — the founder of modern ho’oponopono (as described in my books Zero Limits and At Zero: The Final Secret to Zero Limits) — and having her speak to you directly.

I also reveal the three levels of mind.

Three.

The guidebook that comes with this new program contains new clearing tools, images to use, and more.

Complete audio program!

Plus there are relaxation exercises, original healing music by Guitar Monk Mathew Dixon and myself, even two songs written and performed by me (off my Strut! album).

The Zero Point represents my latest, most advanced, most current, and most profound spiritual work ever.

It goes beyond the Law of Attraction, the Law of Creation, the Law of Right Acton, and even goes beyond ho’oponopono.

It’s designed to lead you to an awakening.

I loved hearing the program, and think you will, too.

Please check it out right here.
