How To Level Up Your Life And Achieve Your Wildest Dreams.

What if the key to unlocking your mind for success to happen was found in a simple formula?

The world of business and entrepreneurship is changing. In this new world, a new reality is emerging where creative thinking, innovative approaches, and seeking coaches and mentors are more important than ever. In this article, I will share with you how to use contrarian advice as part of your business and personal life so that you can create positive change in everything that matters most to you.

Yes, entrepreneurship and businesses are in crisis, but for different reasons.

Some perceive it as a crisis, but if that were true, how come, amid all the crisis, more businesses are being started than ever?

The number of businesses started each year has been growing steadily for years, but the number of new companies that fail has also been increasing. Why? Because we need to teach people how to start their own company well enough.

My career as a senior technologist managing and delivering small, medium, and large-scale digital transformation programs, upgrades, and technology enhancements spanned over fifteen years. In 2015 I finally took the leap of faith and started my entrepreneurial journey. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with clients from all professional backgrounds, and the reason they were failing in life and in business had nothing to do with their craft, knowledge, or skill but with a lack of understanding of how the mind works and the processed needed to start, build, and grow a business. Once I helped them create a solid mental and firm emotional foundation and busienss processes, they could sustainably increase their business and profits.

A fixed mindset can stop you from creating positive change.

A fixed mindset is a belief that your abilities are set in stone and unchangeable. It's associated with the idea that everyone has a particular talent and intelligence, and you either have it or you don't. It takes a trained professional to listen to your limiting beliefs that highlight a bigger mindset problem that can easily be transformed. I often hear people saying, "I can't afford this, I can't afford to work with a qualified coach, I can't do this, marketing myself is hard, toxic relationships are hard to change, all politicians are liars, people can't be trusted, the world is collapsing, there are no jobs out there who will pay me my worth, etc."

In contrast, a growth mindset is the belief that your abilities can be developed through effort and practice—and it's not just the domain of Olympic athletes or professional musicians; anyone can cultivate this kind of mindset. A growth mindset is also known as an "I can do it. What can I do to make this happen, the world is my playing ground, and I am the best player in it. I am worthy of receiving life's greatest gifts. My mind can be anything I program it to be, etc." attitude: if you're trying to learn a new skill or improve your current one, believing that improvement is possible will help motivate you to put more time and energy into practicing until you get better.

I've used this kind of positive development and language and belief transformation approach to help clients build confidence and resilience when things don't go according to plan (which is bound to happen) because instead of seeing failure as evidence that you're lacking some innate ability or worthiness for success—as happens with people who think in terms of fixed mindsets—you recognize how much potential there still is for growth at any point in time.

A myth I often hear from people on social media and clients on their first breakthrough coaching consultation is how hidden forces are working against professional people, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Some worth mentioning is the following:

• The government doesn't want you to be successful.
• Your friends and family don't want you to be successful either.
• Your spouse wants you to stay home with them instead of pursuing your dreams.
• You have bills and other responsibilities that prevent you from being successful on a large scale or in any way at all!

This could not be further from the truth, that you are 100% responsible for the reality you create. Now consider the growth mindset option:

• It is in the government's interest for you to be successful.
• The more you succeed, the more your friends and family are inspired to be successful too.
• The more you focus on pursuing your dreams, your spouse wants to grow and be with you.
• Paying bills on time and honoring my other responsibilities grow my enthusiasm to be more successful on a larger scale or in a way I want!

I know your authentic being feel already much better by allowing the above statements to help you see the fixed mindset statements with the mind's ability to think objectively, something I talk about in more detail in the multi=award-winning books A Path to Wisdom and The Unfakeable Code(R): Take Back Control, Lead Authentically and Live Freely on Your Terms . How biased thinking leads to developing a more fixed mindset and objective thinking to a growth mindset and opens you to see the same things differently.

Embrace Contrarian Advice

Contrarian advice is a tool to help you think differently about partners, diversity, hiring, cash flow, resilience, and success. It's only sometimes popular or easy to implement, but it can be very effective. Let me give you an example of contrarian advice that I have used in my own life:

When I started as a writer, transformational life and business coach, and entrepreneur in London (around 2012), I reached out to several people who had achieved some level of success in the space. My goal was to learn from them and get their advice for future growth. In most cases, these were busy entrepreneurs with many demands on their time; however, I clarified why my call was vital for me and it seemed like they all took my call seriously (for which I am grateful!). Many were willing to share some good advice with me. Still, two individuals stood out from all others by far – Daniel Priestly, the founder of Dent Global, and Dr. John Demartini , a world-renowned human behavior specialist. Both gave some great tips but also went above and beyond what could be considered normal 'advice' sharing with me – one gave me life-transforming advice and became my teacher and mentor; another introduced me directly into his network of entrepreneurs and validated my idea to join his Key Person of Influence Business Accelerator Program to write my book, create intellectual property, and use a simple yet very effective method to become a key person of influence in my industry!

Objectively Question Life's Myths - Dispelling life myths can help you create a path to excellence in your business and personal life.

To level up your life, grow your business, and achieve your wildest dreams as an entrepreneur, you must dispel the myths that hold you back. These life myths can cause us to make decisions that are not in our best interest. Here are some of the most common myths:

• I'm too old or young for that kind of success.
• I need more money or resources to make it happen.
• That's how things are around here—it's normal for people to be unhappy at work or for women not to be treated equally by men in business meetings, for members of the LGBTQ plus community to be discriminated against, for refugees to be the scapegoats to leadership failures, etc., etc., etc...

Build More Tools to Create a Positive Change - Identify the tools that can help you create immediate positive change in your business and your life.

You will be surprised by the many tools available to help you get unstuck, overcome fear and uncertainty, and see beyond what is right in front of your face. Some of these tools already exist in your life. They need to be identified so they can be used effectively. Having delivered over 25,000 coaching and training hours, I have helped thousands of people clarify problems to resolution processes that unconsciously exist in them, bring forward their inventions, books, and tools that they can use to fix problems, turn ideas into tangible products and businesses, etc.

A sixty years old lady with no formal education, corporate background, failed businesses and four grandchildren started doing my integrated coaching and mentoring work three years ago. Today, she runs a seven-figure growing company, has two books, and uses her gifts to help others do what she loves.

Conclusion

With the right tools, guidance, and coaching, you can be the person who will create a better world for yourself and the others around you. Remember, a fixed mind creates chaos; disorder impacts well-being, decision-making, growth, prosperity, and building authentic relationships.

What If I Told You Can Develop a Growth Mindset and Be In That Small Percentage of People You Avidly Admire? What If I Told You, You Don't Need To Struggle With The Frustrations and Struggles Anymore?

Let's work together to tackle the root cause of the fixed mindset that holds you back, teach you how to remain enthusiastic when there is chaos around you, eradicate injected values that limit your choices, and reprogram your mind from frequent negative self-talk to positive growth mindset that transforms your existence.
