What Is Blocking Your Success?<\/span><\/p>\n

Edwin Akpan (Nigeria)<\/span><\/p>\n

Shakespeare called it a \u201ctraitor.\u201d Law of Attraction teacher Michael Losier calls it \u201cnegative vibration.\u201d I call it \u201cthe greatest barrier to success.\u201d I’m talking about doubts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is doubt the greatest barrier to success? Shakespeare said it best, \u201c\u2026they [doubts] make us lose what we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.\u201d That’s it. Doubts make you throw in the towel even before you begin. And if you don’t attempt something, how are you going to achieve it? For instance, if you don’t enlist for Olympic trials, how are you going to win an Olympic gold medal? If you don’t start that business, how are you going to attain financial freedom? If you don’t start writing that book, how are you going to become a bestselling author and make a difference in people lives?<\/span><\/p>\n

See? Certainly, we all have doubts about achieving our goals at some point in time. Even the highly successful people you see today had doubts at one point or the other in their journey to the top, but they found a way to eliminate their doubts; that’s why they are successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that, right now, you CAN also eliminate any doubt you may have about achieving what you desire. Here is how. First, identify your doubts. Some people don’t even know they have doubts. They \u201cjust\u201d know that they can’t achieve their goals but they don’t know why. The simple trick to easily and quickly identify any doubts you have about achieving your goals is to insert your desire between the words \u201cI can’t\u201d and \u201cbecause,\u201d and complete the statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what I mean. Supposing your desire is to start a business but you can\u2019t seem to do it. To identify your doubts, simply complete this statement: \u201cI can’t start a business because\u2026.\u201d This will help you come up with the doubts that are holding you back. For example, someone in the above situation might say, \u201cI can’t start a business because I’m too young and nobody will take me serious.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After identifying your doubts, the next thing to do is to ask yourself this powerful question: Is there anyone currently doing or have done what I want to do or have or be? If your answer is yes, congratulations! It will be good to identify the person(s) because our minds think in specifics. By identifying someone or people who are currently doing or have achieved what you want to achieve, you provide yourself with \u201chard evidence\u201d that it is possible to achieve your dreams. That way, you eliminate doubts – your greatest barrier to success – in minutes! Providing \u201cevidences\u201d for the actualization of your goals is one of the most powerful tools there is to achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, I had doubts about building a 7-figure monthly income business. And my main doubt was that I have no money to advertise in the national dailies and in Google like my competitors. My doubts instantly vanished when I read the words of Mark Joyner, who happens to be one of the most outstanding Internet business gurus in the world. He wrote in his groundbreaking book: Mind Control Marketing, \u201cFor many years, my company’s advertising budget was ZERO. That’s right. We didn’t spend a dime on advertising. \u201cEven today, I spend next to nothing on advertising and focus all of my efforts on maximizing what I can get for free. If I can send out an e-mail newsletter to hundreds of thousands of people for free, why not focus on maximizing that return instead of risking megabucks on expensive direct mail campaigns?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That was all I needed at that point to press on and I’ve not looked back ever since. To make this process work effectively for you, I’d advise you write out your \u201cevidence\u201d and paste it where you’ll see it always. Do you have great dreams and you think you can’t achieve them? What’s holding you back is your doubts. Identify and eliminate them now by looking for evidences and references that prove you can. Then press on and I’ll see you at the top!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yieh Odette Gwain (Cameroon)<\/span><\/p>\n

Act Now is a leading secrete in transformation. If I get information and do not act then I am wasting that information. That is why from the book I have learned from great people who have transformed their lives after hearing information and putting them into practice. This is a big lesson that in some few years to come there shall be transformation leaders from Africa who shall stand the taste of time, this will be thanks to IIGL. What ever thing I do now will seriously be match by action.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Our Students Are Reading<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Invisible Path To Success<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding & Managing The Unseen Forces Shaping Your Life<\/span><\/p>\n

by Robert Scheinfeld ($10.47)<\/span><\/p>\n

Every day things happen to you. How much is caused by you and how much by fate, destiny or the result of invisible forces you know nothing about? Finding the answers to these questions can be compared to putting together a gigantic jigsaw puzzle. This work offers pieces that have been missing from your puzzle. Once you add them to the pieces you’ve already collected, a new picture of who you are, why you’re here, what your purpose is, and how to better manage the unseen forces shaping your life will spring into view.<\/span><\/p>\n
