If success was all about setting inevitable and definite goals industrialized through visualisation, developing proper strategies and taking actions, could not we all attain what we wanted? I could teach the principles of visualisation and practical steps to thousands of people, but not everyone will act on these, and act consistently. You can wish for a thing, but you are only ready for it when you believe that you can accomplish this. The state of mind must be belief, not naturally hope or wish.
I have used the visualisation technique for any years now with hundreds of habitancy in training and consulting work with clients, and have come over scores of sincere hard working habitancy who would say that they find it hard to visualise, or the picture they see in their mind is not that exciting and clear and inspiring. When we unearth the reasons, these generally boil down to some of the values or limiting beliefs they have. Some months ago I was coaching a consultant friend of mine who had set clear goals for his business, but it naturally was not exciting fast enough. The consulting work he does involves quite a lot of trip away from home. Although he enjoys travelling and the kind of work he undertakes, we discovered as we dug deeper that his strong house values had indeed made him sometimes unhappy with his work, although consciously he (in business agreement with his wife) has always tried to ignore this conflict in the middle of his house values and work demands as unimportant. But somewhere in the back of his mind this did persist, and whenever his creative mind tried to visualise the future, his mind’s eye just refused to engage.

Values are like emotional hot buttons that drive our behaviour. They are what we value as important in our lives. All of us regard values like ‘success’, ‘freedom’, ‘security’, ‘love’ and ‘happiness’ very differently. And it is the way we internally rank these values that conclude the kinds of choices we make, and the actions we take. Some might value material success over spiritual, while others might naturally couple on their spiritual well-being. Once we identify the specific value(s) that drive us and sass them, we can craft strategies that withhold these values, rather than strategies and values working in opposition to each other.
Beliefs fall into a different category, especially when these come to be self-limiting. When habitancy do not believe a goal is possible (like passing the driving test, for example), they feel hopeless. And when habitancy feel hopeless, they do not take the proper action. A someone may also believe that a goal is possible for others to achieve, i.e., habitancy can pass driving tests, but not possible for herself. When the someone believes she does not have what it takes to succeed, you’ll typically find a sense of helplessness. Contrarily, if one has empowering beliefs about what one can achieve, well, whatever is possible — remember, Mohammed Ali’s “I’m the Greatest” announcement came years before he won the world title!
Self-limiting beliefs, sometimes based on a particular taste or a casual remark, can hold one back for years. Roughly everyone has had the taste of mastering a skill in an area where they idea they had no ability, and being quite surprised at themselves when they overcame the limiting belief.
Your Beliefs Are Acquired, Not Inborn:
The good news about beliefs is that all beliefs are learned. They can therefore be unlearned, especially if they are not helpful. When you came into the world, you had no beliefs at all – about yourself, your religion, your political party, other people, or the world in general. Just as you once shed your belief that Santa Claus or tooth fairy was real, you can shed any belief, or obtain new beliefs if you want to.
In my coaching work, I have been working with a gentleman (we will call him Jim) who has been, what I would call, a prosperous businessman. At sixty-six, he runs a house business, with a turnover of a slightly over a million pounds. On the surface, he is happy – he makes a decent living from his company which is managed by a Chief executive and his team. But somewhere in his mind, there is a long unhappiness that his company was not growing over the years. He has had his close circle of friends desert him as they grew their businesses and some of them became multi-millionaires. They grew up together, spent their youths together, set up company together, and went to the same golf clubs. Suddenly in the last ten years, Jim noticed he was getting cold shouldered by some of them as they had moved on to being friends with more successful, richer people.
Losing his friends and self-esteem, Jim invested all the time and finance he could specialist in his company in the past three years, wanting to expand his business. He has worked intimately with his Chief executive and management team to push for company increase and expansion. But nothing has indeed made much of a variation in their company – Jim’s company commerce Diy tools for well known international brands. Competition has been stiff as manufacturing moved to Asia and Eastern Europe. Jim’s company has had to work harder and harder to stay where they were. He had no doubt that his management team had done all they could.
It turned out some of his friends have ridden on this wave of global change and moved their output to China, and that is how they grew their company several-fold, while Jim saw that same change a block to his business. Jim did not want to take risks. He likes his management team because they run the company in the way he ran it for two decades, and they do not take risks. Although Jim pushes them to expand, he subconsciously likes it when they come back with the explanation that times are difficult with competition from the emerging countries.
All his life Jim has valued safety and security, and avoided risks. Back in his teen years, he joined horse-riding and football. A couple of times he came home slightly injured. His loving mom who had his best in her heart always advised him not to do those risky sports. He will be no good in those.
In his later years, Jim would go to the skiing slopes of Swiss Alps and would spend his days there sipping wine, while his wife would be go skiing with their children.
Jim had managed his whole company with this particular motto: do not get hurt; do not take risks so that you do not fail. Be safe!
Once he realised how a few childhood incidents had such a grip over him throughout his life, it was easy to make a change – the safety guidance he got in childhood was no longer relevant to run his business. And one of the first things he has done in the past few months is to hire a dynamic Ceo who is a risk-taker and has a proven track report of growing businesses he managed.
Changing Beliefs:
Negative beliefs can be changed indeed through changing the internal dialogue that goes on in our mind constantly. There are seven easy steps in the process:
1. State the belief (‘I am hopeless in remembering names’).
2. obtain evidence: allow your ‘other self’ (our internal dialogue always has two personalities complex – commonly ‘self’ and ‘the other voice’) to obtain as much evidence based on taste and reality to counter the belief statement. ‘Don’t you remember any names?’ ‘Do not you remember names of twenty of your friends’?
3. Seek alternative explanation: if the evidence in the second step was not strong enough to disprove all the arguments (which confirm the belief that ‘I am hopeless’), are there alternative explanations – ‘I commonly cannot remember the names when I meet habitancy for a short time’.
4. What are the consequences (of having the belief)? Is that serious?
5. If the belief is still strong, ask the question: what is the use in retention this belief? Is there any inevitable value from retention this belief? If not, it is better to change it.
6. What performance can you take to enhance the situation? Write them all down.
7. Make an performance plan.
