Two Thought Patterns That Block Your Success

Feeling fear is uncomfortable and at times can be a tormentor. The idea is to stop the thought patterns that creates the emotions of fear and consistently disrupt them.

Here are two thought patterns focused on fear. I will also show you how we can “disrupt” each of the patterns. That’s all that’s really necessary to STOP a fear thought. The secret is to stay consistent by using the disruption every time you feel the fear.

Generation Why Not? ReInvent! ReDefine! Relaunch!

People are starting to reinvent themselves… businesses are reinventing themselves as well. Yet, so many would love to make innovative changes and do not know how to go about it, or, don’t know where to start. One of the best places to start is to identify the top ten highlights of your career and ten highlights of your personality. Reinventing yourself or your business is not about starting over, but rather, using all of the richness or your experiences, education, observations, passions and creatively integrating it all…repackaging yourself or your business so that you are reinventing something that looks and feels new.

Generation Why Not? An Attitude

Generation Why Not? is an attitude that spans across many ages. I’d like to focus on the basics of Market Disruption, Brand Innovation and Personal Reinvention in this blog post. Market disruption basically asks the question, “Why keep the status quo?” And the entrepreneur, c-suite and expert are always asking “Why Not?” Or, as one of the CEO’s of a financial company I interviewed for me new book said, “Why, to their Not?” I love this way of thinking. He said I could use it! Brand innovation basically asks the question, “How can we keep our brand fresh and relevant.” It is my opinion and observation that those companies, big or small, that keep this question in the forefront of their everyday priorities will have a much better advantage in keeping their ideal clients and attracting others as well. Personal reinvention ranges in age from teens to 90 year olds. Most recently, I read an article of a 90 year old woman who rides a motorcycle and has for years! This is the age or reinvention, whether it is a 90 year old reinventing her lifestyle or a 50-something starting their own business after being in the corporate world for most of their working life.

I leave you with three questions:

  1. Are you asking “Why Not?” from the status quo of your work and how you do things?
  2. Are you keeping your business brand relevant?
  3. Are you reinventing the way you see yourself and the possibilities of what you can do by simply asking, “Why Not?”

Generation Why Not? Disruptors with Respect and without Respect

There’s an important distinction to make when it comes to disruptors. There are people in Generation Why Not? who disrupt with the utmost respect… and there are those who disrupt without respect. Monsanto is a great example of a disruptor that has no respect. They are certainly part of Generation Why Not? and in their innovation, they created a horrific seed that cannot reproduce (environmentalists call this seed “the Terminator”). The idea is that farmers are forced to re-purchase seeds year after year from the corporate giant rather than collecting them from the previous years’ crops. This disruption is extremely harmful to the environment and the health of our community. On the other hand, Whole Foods Market is an example of a company that makes its mark with respect. They stood by organic food even when it wasn’t popular, and even when it was difficult to find products that came from other respectful companies. Tom’s Toothpaste and Zappos are also examples of disruptors who have respect. There is a wonderful book by David R. Hawkins, M.D. Ph.D. titled Power versus Force that talks about what true power means. A good leader has true power and operates at a higher vibration. Members of Generation Why Not? who are disruptors without respect (like Monsanto), however, use force to get their way.

Are You a Member of Generation Why Not?

I would go so far as to say that the majority of people in the world would love to be members of Generation Why Not? but most aren’t. Those that live in fear, those who never question the status quo, those who never think outside the box and who always play it safe – those people are not members of Generation Why Not?. However, it is possible to make a shift and become a member of Generation Why Not? if you want to. It’s about identifying your story – the beliefs you keep reinforcing in yourself that hold you back from creating what you want. When you identify the story, you will begin to understand why you do not yet have momentum in your business or truly believe that you can succeed at the top of your field. You may notice yourself squandering away your time and energy with worry, or taking care of everyone else but yourself. I help people identify where in their business or lives the path of Quantum Synchronicity was lost. I help them identify the fears that keep them stuck and give them skills to remove the blockage. When you can step back into your confidence and integrity, you will see Quantum Synchronicity begin to play a magical role in your life, but it’s difficult to get there on your own. If you would like some help in identifying your blocks and getting into the flow of Generation Why Not? I would like to support you.
