What Is Holding You Back?

Last week, I was able to get in on a Hangout with David Wood. He was taking questions from users. During the Hangout something came up about what is holding you back.
Here is the Hangout Video:
It is long about 4 hours. It is a good idea to bookmark this website and watch this in chunks and what it several times. It will make a huge difference in your life if you do.
While David goes over many things in the hangout, there is one thing that stood out to me.
What is holding you back?
There is really only two things that can be holding you back. One is you are just not doing any work. No one can help you if you are not doing any of the work.
One big problem is procrastination. This is delaying in doing things. Many times it is just getting started that can defeat procrastination.
Lets say you get started, you are doing everything that I am and other leaders of Empower Network are doing, but having no results? What is the solution?
It is your unconscious mind.
This is reason that someone could be making a huge amount of money. You copy exactly what they are doing, but do not even come close to having the success that they are having.
Your unconscious mind is holding you back.
Your conscious mind is only able to focus on about 5 or 7 things at the same time. This is if you are good. I can only focus on 2 or 3 things at the same time.
This is a cool experiment that you can use to calm your mind. It is done by trying to do many things at the same time. Because you cannot focus on a lot of things at the same time. This is TW Jackson (the relationship and make up expert), halfway down he walks you through the experiment in a video.
You unconscious mind focuses on 2 million of things at the same time. It could be focusing on outcome on results that you do not intent or want.
So your conscious mind is focusing on the few things you see others are doing, but your unconscious mind is focusing on millions of other things that your conscious mind is not even aware of. What are some ways to make sure your unconscious mind it not holding you back?
Our unconscious mind must have intentions and outcomes. If we do not set our intentions our unconscious mind will produce any outcome that its chooses. This outcome may not be what you want.
So in order to control your unconscious mind you need to set your intentions. I would recommend doing this each time you are doing to do with marketing. Be very specific about what you want to accomplish with that piece of marketing. Then believe and act as if it is happening.
Notice the three things, this is what causes the unconscious mind to work. Intention, Belief, and action.
So for example before I do any marketing piece, I set my intention. Normally my intention is to get two in anything I do. That is my goal in Empower Network is to make two upfront sales a day and teach others to do the same. Then I act as it this is happening at the moment.
Since I have started this I have seen better results of my marketing strategies than when I was not doing that.
So, if you are not seeing the results that you want, you know what is holding you back and what to do. Start setting your intentions, believing that is happening, and act as if it is happening.
