How Can You Break Out?

By: Angela Farrell

For 26 years I worked in my job. For the most part I enjoyed it and worked my way up to a senior managerial role. I was managing a team of sales people which was challenging and also very satisfying.

Why did I stay in that job for so long? Well, I was scared... scared to leave because I was brought up in a family where money was really scarce. My Dad, although he worked really hard, was often out of work and the money coming in was really tight.

I was one of four children and I remember my childhood with fondness as my parents did everything possible to make sure we achieved. If it was not for my Mum, I would not have achieved as much as I have. She always supported me in everything I did and was desperate for me to get a 'good education in order to get a good job'.... so that I didn't have to struggle financially like my parents did.

However, what I realise now is that I grew up in fear. Fear that I would not have enough money, fear that if I invested, I would lose my money. I therefore, held on to my money and became a statistic of the Rat Race.

It wasn't until 2 years ago, when my husband & I faced a desperate financial situation, that I began to read books on wealth creation and self development.

I realised that my money blueprint was set all wrong. And that was why we fell into so much debt and lost so much money after my husband started a new business.

I realise now that I had the wrong mindset to fully realise my potential. Although I had self belief, it was very brittle. I sometimes doubted myself during important presentations and thought that others presented far better than myself. I was able to present a very good proposal for change, however, I sometimes doubted my ability. I know now that I allowed others to reduce my confidence at times. Looking back now, I can see that most of the upper management were really 'blagging it' and plagiarising a lot of their content. They did not have real passion.

That was the great difference. I did have passion. However, I realised after reading my books, that I was never going to fulfil my potential in my job. I therefore started to think about what I really wanted to do.

Property investment and internet marketing appealed most as I could earn passive income from both. So, I set out on my journey.

Over the past year, I have met some amazing people and am currently working with three mentors who have fast tracked me to success.

You know, the subconscious mind is so powerful, that we need to be aware of it constantly. I find myself some times talking to myself in my mind, and the doubt will creep in. Mindset needs to be worked on consistently, otherwise our programming automatically takes over and we are back in the past, doubting, asking ourselves if we can really 'do it'

We all need to understand our subconscious mind which governs our existence. It is the 'sleeping giant' within us.

Your subconscious mind can create many barriers to success.

Be careful what you feed your mind !
