3 Secrets To Developing The Superpower Of Belief

3 Secrets To Developing The Superpower Of Belief

by | | case study, Entrepreneurial Mentoring, My Story, The Blog

Think you can, think you can’t; either way you‘ll be right.” ~ Henry Ford

I have a confession to make.  I’m addicted to success.  Actually, I’m obsessed by it. And if you knew the full extent of my story, you’d understand why!

After I suffered significant losses to my domestic and international investments right after the tech bubble of 2001, ended up unemployed for almost 18 months in which time real estate investment properties I held went into foreclose due to tenants not being able to pay their rent and my loss of income, I ended up filing bankruptcy.  If I hadn’t had belief in God’s purpose for my life and his ability to turn my life around, I know I wouldn’t have ended up with a 7-figure net worth and over 6 figures in passive income just 5 years after my bankruptcy filing.

Needless to say, I’m a big believer in the superpowers of belief.  If you are ready for a financially empowered life you can’t wait to live, one that’s designed around your purpose and that brings immense success, satisfaction and fulfillment beyond even your wildest dreams, one of your first steps will to develop the superpower of belief in you.  To help you in that endeavor, I’d like to share 3 secrets to developing the superpower of belief.

THREE SECRETS TO DEVELOPING THE SUPERPOWER OF BELIEF

1. Think success, don’t think failure. Whether at work or in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, “I’ll win,” not “I’ll probably lose. When you compete with someone else, think, “I’m equal to the best,” not “I’m outclassed.” When opportunity appears, think “I can do it,” never “I can’t.” Let the master thought “I will succeed” dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure. Disbelief is a negative power. When your mind disbelieves or doubts, the mind attracts “reasons” to support the disbelief. Simply put, think doubt and fail. Think victory and succeed.

2. Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. It’s been said that Mohammed Ali, the greatest boxer of all time, hired someone just to follow him around all day and tell him he was the greatest. What if you had someone following you around all day, whispering in your ear, you’re the best, no one can stop you, you’re the greatest, you’ve got this. Imagine the impact these words could have to your life. From Japanese researcher Dr Masaru Emoto we’ve learned that positive words positively impact water’s molecular structure and ability to form crystals, just as negative words negatively impact water’s molecular structure and its ensuing ability to form crystals. Dr. Emoto’s scientific research only proves what the Bible has long told us, that the power of life and death is in our tongues. What we say about ourselves and about our future has a directly correlation to the future we create for ourselves. You can watch a video on Dr. Emoto’s research on YouTube here at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm0h3DXs6-4

Now, you have both biblical and scientific reasons to only speak positive words over yourself and to remind yourself that you are better than you think you are. Remember, successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never – yes, never – Sell yourself short by speaking negative words over your potential and future.

3. Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and you can expect little achievements. Think big goals and you can expect big successes. One last thing. Do remember that big ideas and big plans are often easier and certainly require no more effort than small ideas and small plans. That’s why Les Brown says to shoot for the moon and if you miss, at least you’ll be among the stars.

Sit with this, meditate on it, internalize it and when you become “ONE” with these 3 secrets to developing the superpower of belief, you’ll realize that you now possess the one thing within you that guarantees success in life. Those secrets I shared came from a book I highly recommend, The Magic Of Thinking Big, by David. J. Schwartz, PH.D

Needless to say, I’m a big believer in the superpowers of belief. I get the sense you might be too. And even if you don’t have the requisite amount of belief to live the life you’ve been waiting all these years to live, I’ve got good news for you. You can borrow my belief in you until you believe in yourself as much or more than I do. That’s one of many benefits clients get from a private coaching relationship with me. You can enjoy those same benefits as well if that’s something that’s of interest to you. Just take the assessment and then book a call so we can chat!

If you think you can create a financially empowered life you can’t wait to live, one that’s designed around your purpose and that brings immense success, satisfaction and fulfillment beyond even your wildest dreams, you can. If you think you can’t, just borrow my “you can” until it turns your “I can’t” to an “I can.”

That can happen easily and effortlessly for you by simply taking your first step and completing the assessment and then booking a call so we can chat!

CASE STUDY: OVER $23,000 IN TAXES SAVED ANNUALLY
CLIENT FILE: ANDREW ABDALLA, PRESIDENT
COMPANY: KINGDOM MINDED VENTURES, LLC

Tax Savings Report

Over the past 25 years, Andrew’s IT career spanned both software application development and business intelligence. He has gained a lot of business experience, added many new skill-sets, and worked with a number of wonderful people. As Andrew climbed the ladder of “success” he felt an ever increasing void of “joy and satisfaction” in his pursuits.

This led him to rethink his “why” and once and for all replace the pursuit of “stability and comfort” with significance. As a result, in 2015, Andrew started Kingdom-Minded Ventures which allows him to passionately work toward a vision rather than merely striving for a paycheck.

Andrew and his family chose to eliminate all debt and voluntarily limit their spending in order to generously support God’s Kingdom purposes as they are lead. For the first time, they knew “in their hearts” that their relationship with their Heavenly Father gave them the freedom to be stewards and trust in Him as Owner and Provider. The truly amazing reality for them is that provision really does follow vision!

In talking with Andrew, you can’t help but hear his “why” speak volumes to you. Andrew says, “As a Kingdom business leader, I believe that this company represents a different paradigm in the marketplace. Business is not just about building wealth merely to provide stability and comfort, but rather an exciting opportunity to use the marketplace to improve the lives of those around us. Instead of using people to make money, we are called to serve those around us and provide value for a higher purpose.”

Andrew’s desire to be a good steward over his business is evident in all that he does. A meeting with a business acquaintance that asked him if he was working with a tax advisor or just a tax preparer got the wheels spinning in his mind and led him on a quest to strengthen the team of professional advisors he works with. That quest consummated in forging a relationship with tax and financial strategist Ike Ikokwu. As a believer with like-minded values, Ike knows that part of being a good steward over a business is recognizing that we are called to give unto Caesar what is his and unto God what is His.

What Ike has been able to do is arm Andrew with unique strategies to legally and ethically define exactly what belongs to Caesar. The results for Andrew were the ability to pay over $23,000 less in income taxes annually, increase his cash flow, and put him on the path to being able to accumulate more wealth over the long term.

However, since migrating to the US in 2001, he worked with various companies until he eventually founded MSP Data Systems in 2005. Under his leadership the company has grown from a small operation to a large 25,000 square foot facility and continues to expand.

MSP was created on May 1, 2005 in Longwood, Florida. Shaukat first started working with Ike in March of 2008. Just 3 years after starting MSP, Shaukat was experiencing a lot of growth with sales into the millions and a federal income tax bill in excess of six figures. Beyond the growing income tax liability, Shaukat had not done much retirement planning and had no estate plan to speak of. He engaged Ike to develop a comprehensive tax and financial plan with his business at the center of the plan.

What Ike was able to do was arm Shaukat with unique strategies to better protect the assets of his business from unsuspecting litigants, legally and ethically reduce his income taxes, implement an estate plan, and create tax-free retirement income for him and his wife. The results for Shaukat were were multi-six figures in estate tax savings, paying 50% less in income taxes annually, experiencing increased cash flow annually, and having an account that will generate multiple six figures in annual tax-free retirement income when Shaukat and Parveen, his wife, retire in their 50’s after almost 30 years of service at MSP. As MSP continues to grow, Ike has offered additional strategies to provide thousands of dollars in cost savings to MSP and ultimately increase their profitability.

Jim Brennan

CASE STUDY: OVER $56,000 IN TAXES SAVED ANNUALLY
CLIENT FILE: JIM BRENNAN, PRESIDENT
COMPANY: AMERICAN BUILDING INTERIORS

www.abi-inc.net

Jim Brennan, is an entrepreneur who got into construction by starting American Building Inspections in 1987 in California. They originally did residential inspections but two years later, after moving to Florida, he changed the name to American Building Interiors (ABI) and began renovating hotels. Under Jim’s guidance as President, the company has grown each year and diversified their offerings in the construction space.

ABI, based out of Fort Myers, Florida, has been in the hotel renovation business for over 25 years. Their offering is diverse. Although they specialize in hotel renovations, they are flexible and are able to tailor their services to each individual property. Whether a multi-story resort property or a small exterior corridor motor lodge, they have the ability to efficiently adjust for the individual challenges that each layout presents.

Jim first started working with Ike in November of 2006. Their company had steadily grown since inception, overcoming the usual ebbs and flows of the construction industry. At the time, ABI had sales in excess of $2,500,000 and Jim had a federal income tax bill in excess of $74,900. Beyond the bulging income tax liability, Jim had not done much retirement planning and had no estate plan to speak of. He engaged Ike to develop a comprehensive tax and financial plan with his business at the center of the plan.

What Ike was able to do was arm Jim with unique strategies to better protect the assets of his business from unsuspecting litigants, legally and ethically reduce his income taxes, implement an estate plan, and create tax-free retirement income for him. The results for Jim were $375,844 in estate tax savings, paying over $56,000 less in income taxes annually, experiencing increased cash flow annually, and having an account that’s projected to generate well over $70,000 in annual tax-free retirement income when Jim retires. As ABI continues to grow, with sales of almost $7,000,000 in 2015, Jim continues to see the value in both the tax plan that was implemented and in his ongoing relationship with Ike.
