"Once you change certain beliefs within, most of your outer problems will solve themselves for you!"
Your beliefs shape the rules of your life.
They determine your options.
They dictate your thoughts and emotions...
Your thoughts and emotions create your actions...
And your actions determine your success!
Coaches help people become a better version of themselves...
Yet, many coaches are held back by certain beliefs that do not allow them to shine brighter, reach more people and create a bigger impact.
These beliefs are often deeply ingrained, making them difficult to recognize and even harder to overcome.
I have been fortunate to work with hundreds of coaches...
And what I discovered are 3 beliefs ingrained in most coaches that prevent them from being successful.
In this article, I will reveal these 3 beliefs that suppress your potential, and also...
The ways you can overcome them!
Let's start...
3 Most Common Beliefs that Prevent Your Success:
1. "What if I succeed"
There is one fear that is seriously underestimated...
The fear of success!
We hear mostly about the fear of failure...
But I would argue that a lot more people are afraid of their success, especially coaches.
"What if everything goes right and I actually succeed?"
"What if I actually make that money?"
"What if I really become famous and my life changes in ways I cannot control?"
We fear change.
We fear the unknown.
No matter if it's for good, or for bad, change scares the living hell out of our Self...
Change feels like a death to the Self, especially a big change like massive success.
So we tend to play small.
We create unnecessary tasks, goals, and schedules to follow just so we can feel productive...
While in reality, that will never make us truly successful...
Clearing our Emails...
Creating content for social media...
Filming and editing videos that no one watches...
Endlessly tweaking our websites...
We self sabotage ourselves when we feel we are close to making a big successful change...
Like closing that deal...
Changing our systems...
Investing in a promotion that we know will help us grow...
Not because we fear failure...
But because we fear that everything will go right!
How to overcome the fear of success?
Visualization!
Take a moment each day to visualize your success, whatever success means for you.
Feel into it, visualize the details...
Visualize how your day to day life looks like...
Your daily schedule...
The possible problems that might arise...
And see how this positive change makes you feel.
Where do you feel fear creeping in?
What is the trigger?
Is it your busy lifestyle, not having enough time for your family, the responsibility that comes with more money?
What is the trigger for your fear?
Once you locate the core of this fear, question it.
Does it have to be scary, does it have to be that way, or is your mind playing tricks on you?
Do you know someone successful that lives better than you?
Don't you think your life will actually get easier, not harder?
Visualize, locate, and question this fear daily and sooner or later it will disappear.
Another BIG blockage for success is the belief...
2. "I am not _____ enough"
"I am not confident enough"
"I am not skilled enough"
"I am not worthy enough"
"I am not good enough"
[Fill in the blank]
This is a core belief that comes from not accepting yourself fully and wholly with all your sharp and unpolished edges...
That despite your shortcomings, you are deserving and capable of success!
You are not seeing yourself as good enough...
As worthy of becoming who you want to become...
You are not seeing yourself ready!
But let me tell you a secret, NO ONE IS!
How to overcome this false belief?
The first step to overcoming this belief is to practice unconditional self acceptance.
Acknowledge ALL your imperfections and understand that they do not disqualify you from success.
In fact, they make you unique.
We are doing interviews with coaches and experts from all around the world...
And after 300 interviews I am still amazed of people's stories!
Before these interviews I thought that coaches are these perfect people that know some secret of life...
Now I know that we are all flawed, we all did some mistakes, we all touched darkness,
But it's exactly these rough edges that our readers connect with the most.
It's exactly these challenges that each coach went through that make them Great!
You can read these interviews here and you will see that nobody started perfect...
That most of the greatest in the world started really flawed, some to save their own life...
And that's where true greatness comes from!

Read about people from your industry and their stories.
Use affirmations to reinforce positive beliefs about yourself.
Seek out mentorship or join a community of like minded individuals who can support you and provide feedback.
Focus on progress rather than perfection.
Celebrate small wins and recognize that every step forward is a step closer to your goals.
And finally, remove the belief of...
3. "If I keep being consistent, the right people will eventually find me"
If only it was that easy, then everyone would succeed!
The real filter is not consistency...
It's willingness to invest in yourself and your business!
That's the real test whether or not you truly believe in your business.
We can all be strong with words...
We can all say "I 100% believe in what I do!", "I will never give up!"
We can all put energy and effort, day after day...
Write our book, create content, film our videos...
Without taking an actual risk!
But when it comes to stand for what you preach...
And take a leap of faith, take a chance, risk for what you say you believe in...
REAL RISK!
Invest money in promotion...
Test whether or not people will like you...
Then most coaches back down and keep doing the same, comfortable thing they were doing...
Following the loop that doesn't bring them anywhere!
Consistency worked in the past, briefly.
Then it stopped.
The world become more complex, louder and noisier.
The internet is flooded with content every day...
90% of people in your industry are consistent...
Your content, no matter how special, it's invisible (unless the algorithm decides to push it up)
It's like putting a drop of water in a waterfall.
The ugly truth is nobody will know who you are if you do not promote yourself.
Do you think the leaders in your industry never paid for any promotion, they just became famous?
Do you think "free" social media platforms will allow you to reach your people without taking any money from you?
Like it or not, you have to invest money in order to succeed!
Invest in promotion...
Or invest in your skills...
Or invest in your Self...
All of these cost money!
You will need to put money where your mouth is.
You are not entitled to success just because you are consistent or you mean well.
I hear lots of coaches say "I don't pay for promotion"
Then you will never reach your full potential...
You will never help the people who really need your help because they will not be able to find you in the chaos of the internet...
You are just being egoistic, thinking that you will be the first one to succeed without any investment...
Or any help!
If you don't invest in promotion than you are just noise.
Why do you think the algorithm exists in the first place?
Because all social media platforms are "secretly" advertising tools...
They charge money so people can use their tools to advertise on them...
The algorithm will push you up only if you pay it to do so.
Everything else is just noise that smart people pay to be separated from.
There are 2 options when it comes to investing money for promotion:
1. You can invest on Social Media and gamble with the algorithm... This one costs A LOT!
2. Or you can invest on other coaching platforms that promote you to your target audience... This one is the most affordable and offers the best value for its cost!
Whatever you decide, if you are serious about your coaching business...
You will eventually need to invest.
Here are few ways how you can invest in promotion, in your skills, and your Self:
