“You’ve got to ask. Asking is in my opinion, the world’s most powerful and neglected secret to success and happiness.” ~ Self-made Multimillionaire and Philanthropist, Percy Ross
A big challenge faced by many entrepreneurs is feeling alone and isolated. And often, the isolation stems from the limiting belief that we should be able to figure out the challenges we face – on our own.
Not knowing the answers is frustrating, it makes us feel inadequate, like a failure. The new question I want you to consider is… are these feelings & thoughts based in reality? Are these thoughts true?
Some years ago I listened to a tele-class with Stephanie Franks, author of The Accidental Millionaire where she talked about this limiting belief that we should be able to figure it out on our own.
If you remember being in school, during exam time, students were required to complete the exam alone, in silence. The expectation was that we should know the answers or be able to figure them out – on our own.
If we dared to ask a fellow student anything concerning the exam it was a no-no and viewed as cheating. Our teachers didn’t encourage us to work in groups or “mastermind” with students who were top of the class.
These experiences impact our belief systems and as entrepreneurs a belief that once served us well and kept us out of the Principals office no longer supports our success.
And here’s another example I was reminded of by Billionaire business owner, speaker, coach & mentor Anne McKevitt… (google her she’s amazing!).
The average person… okay, 99.9% of people are aiming for middle ground, taking baby steps and playing it safe. Think of your childhood and how often parents and adult role models told you to “be careful”. That advice may have served you as a child (key word = may) but, as an adult and moreover an entrepreneur, playing it safe is keeping you small!
Your belief system has years of background stories just like these ones. Sculpted and molded through experiences, our culture, influential people and more.
If you’ve caught yourself doing things that sabotage your success or, not doing things to support your success and you can’t figure out why, start to listen to your inner voice.
Our beliefs influence our thoughts, dictate our habits, affect our decisions and ultimately create our results/reality.
Are you living a reality that you love?
If not… it may be time for your believability makeover

P.S. My Believability Makeover Program is getting a makeover of its own! It’s usually reserved for my coaching clients only but I’m offering the newly remastered version this one time as a 2-week, 4-module workshop. Click the photo below to find out more – we start on March 22nd…

Joint venture marketing is the primary way that I grow my “list”… my community… my peeps… my tribe by leaps and bounds! Joint ventures (JV’s) are what I call a CATALYST marketing strategy.
Energy Vampire: someone who take up time and energy and you don’t enjoy communicating with them. Complainer, blamers, bullies…anyone who drives you crazy, annoys you, and leaves you angry, frustrated or wanting to scream. They can also deflate you, fill you with self doubt and make you want to crawl into a hole and go to sleep for a very long time.
