Hi there, this post is for you if you have been experiencing some limitations and hindrances in almost everything you do.

I mean you started a business that you know many people are earning from but you've barely been able to earn from it.

Or maybe you've been trying to improve your relationship with people but you're just not getting it right.

Whatever it is you've been struggling with, if you pay attention to what you're about to read and you apply it in your life, you'll definitely see the change you desire.

First let me give you a bitter pill to swallow. The reason you seem to be stuck, and not moving forward is because you are holding yourself back. Yes, you are your own enemy. Let me tell you why.

The human mind is designed to manifest whatever it is fed. I mean if you think to yourself that you'll never be great, you'll never be great, not because you're not but because the hate will cover your faith (I borrowed NF's words here )

My point is whatever you tell your mind is what will manifest for you physically.

Here are some of the ways you have been feeding your mind with poisonous thoughts that are now affecting you physically.

1. The limiting mindset: someone with this mindset assumes that there isn't enough success to go around. Let's use someone who discovered a business opportunity as an example. If this person assumes that because he wasn't the first to start the business, there wouldn't be enough people to buy from him, he is limiting himself. By thinking that the market is over saturated, he is communicating to his mind that he doesn't think he can attract people to buy from him. The mind receives this message, causes it to be expressed physically, and before he knows it, nobody buys what he's selling.

How to fix a limiting mindset?
Develop an abundance mindset. This means instead of thinking that there are too many people selling the same thing as you, think of how to stand out so people will be attracted to you. Always remember that there are billions of people on earth, and out of those billions, there are people who are the right customers for you. You just have to find them and convince them to do business with you.

2. Fixed mindset: this mindset is very common among many people. Someone with a fixed mindset thinks that because he doesn't have some sort of advantage, he cannot succeed. These are the people who think "I'm an introvert. I cannot go into sales because I don't know how to relate with people." or "I'm not rich, there's no way I'll attract a beautiful woman."

What happens when you have thoughts like this is that your mind communicates them to the physical and causes them to happen.

How do you fix a fixed mindset?
By developing a growth mindset. So instead of condemning yourself because of what you assume you don't have, develop the habit
of becoming the person who gets the things you thought you couldn't have. What I mean is, if you're worried you'll die alone because you're not rich or you're not attractive, figure out how to become a rich and attractive person, and do what it takes to become that person. Just because you're born with a condition or a disadvantage doesn't mean you should settle and allow things remain that way. Also remove any labels you have placed on yourself. Think if he can, then I can too.

3. Poverty mindset: many Nigerians have this mindset, and it's not their fault, it's how they were raised. The good thing about mindsets is that they can be changed. What is the poverty mindset? This is believing that you don't deserve to make a lot of money or that it is wrong to make so much money. This mindset also manifests when you're comfortable with the little you earn that you do not aim to earn more. This isn't right because anything can happen to the source of income that gives you that confidence in the first place.

How to fix a poverty mindset?
Replace it with a wealthy mindset. Always aspire to earn more than you did last month. Don't settle for a particular amount when you know you can earn much more. Also beware of the imposter syndrome that makes you feel you're not qualified to earn a certain amount of money. All the rich men you know today started from somewhere, but they never gave up, and they never limited themselves.

From today, decide to launch you 2.0

You 2.0 speaks and thinks differently.

You 2.0 will not label himself and limit himself.

You 2.0 will always look for how to become better instead of complaining about the disadvantages he has.

Want to make your first million this year?

You need to launch you 2.0

I hope this helps.
