ENDING THE AGE of HUSTLE and HUSTLE THE AGE BEING of YOURSELF

Entrepreneurship is notorious for creating a community based on “hustle”, “grind”, and “sacrifice.” It has been a collective belief that an entrepreneur needs to be these things in order to be successful. “success” traditionally being how much money you have earned, the status you’ve achieved, the cars you have, or even the people you have helped. Everyone wants to keep score and is willing to be someone else completely to have the most points on the scoreboard… The truth is entrepreneurship is just a word, just like success and status, they don’t inherently mean anything beyond your own definition of them. Most people have simply adopted these definitions from their parents and/or society. Not to mention that 80% of your beliefs, beyond entrepreneurship, by the age of 30, are not even your beliefs. Do you know the average person has about 68,000 thoughts per day and 90% of them are negative?

Why is this?

Well, the same reason you may feel like you aren’t fulfilled with your life, your business, you feel you need to get more and more to fill a void within you, you think you can't have a balanced, healthy, low stress life AND be successful etc… Is because you have an outdated belief system. By the time you are 7 years old your personality is formed and your belief system is over 90% set and crystalized.

Meaning how you see the world, how you see yourself and others, and how you see success is defined and locked into the neurological pathways of your brain. Why is there so much chaos in the world? Because we have a bunch of 7 year old belief systems making decisions for us!

Here’s the good news!

You can change your belief system, reorient your personality, and transform your life in a moment. And if that sentence brought up even a sliver of doubt, you have work to do because I’ve seen 1,000’s of people do it. The good news is it can be exciting and you can start right now. The process of transforming the beliefs within you that are causing anxiety, fear, worry, doubt, jealousy, anger etc… (did I mention your beliefs are atlhite source of all happiness or suffering?) into a belief that is positive and aligns with your higher self is called Integration. As you integrate the beliefs that are not you, the true you can emerge and the feeling that is associated with this version of you can be the guiding principle to run your business and your life.

"If it doesn’t feel like this, I’m not doing it!"

Then you can get to a point where your personal life and professional life blend in such a way where the SAME you gets to show up to all areas of your life. This is called living a life of passion, excitement and alignment.

If you can identity any area of your life that does not reflect excitement or passion, or that you would like to change, here’s a process you can do to let go of any belief that is keeps you choosing that reality.

Step One

What emotion arises when you are in this situation you say you don’t prefer? (fear, frustration, anger etc…)

Step Two

What must you believe about yourself in this situation that is making you feel this way? or, How are you defining this situation in a negative way? or, What’s the worst possible thing that can happen in this situation? (this is where you find the belief )

*KEY* (You will find the core belief when you find what belief said situation is reflecting back to you when it is a belief about yourself, so keep digging, if you re honest with yourself you will always find an answer)

Step Three Is the belief true? and/or is it bad?

As soon as you find the negative belief and realize it is not true and does not make sense IT IS GONE! This is called self inquiry and can transform any situation into an opportunity to learn, grow, and be more of yourself.

Remember you get to write the rules, rewrite all the definitions of success that don’t work for you, let go of the beliefs that cause you to not be yourself, and be grateful for the challenges and triggers bringing inviting you through the illusion of fear and back into yourself. For it is remembering who you really are from a new perspective that causes the universe to expand…
