What are breakthrough barricades? 1. Fear This can be a massive barricade to creating change. This could be fear of: ● Loss ● Opportunity Cost ● Difficulty ● Failure 2. Self-Doubt This is tied to identity. Having a strong identity is necessary to defeat doubt. Without that, you lack confidence. 3. Uncertainty This is fear of what’s on the other side of what you are trying to accomplish. 4. Getting Stuck This is where you don’t know where to go. This lowers your confidence, and causes self-doubt. 5. Needing the Approval of Others People are addicted to the approval of other people, and what they think of us. If you are seeking the approval of others, there will always be the openness of self-doubt. Other people will never believe in you the way that you can believe in you. YOU CANNOT BE THRIVING WHEN YOU ARE SEEKING VALIDATION FROM OTHERS. Give up the approval of others. It’s okay to get feedback, but you don’t need validation.

The first way to break through the barricades is called fear contrasting. There are only two things that stick with you throughout the day and that you think of at night: Results and Regret. Take out a piece of paper, and draw a line down the middle. Write “regrets” on one side, and “results” on the other. Write all the things that you’ll regret if you finally follow your dream. What are the worst things that could happen? Then, write all of the positive, inspiring, impactful and fulfilling results that will come from you chasing your dream. Look at the two lists. You can see why you need to embrace the fear, and do it anyway. Think of courage. Courage can only be articulated in the face of fear. Fear is necessary for courage. Courage is: fear and the willingness to act. If you aren’t doing things that scare you, by definition, you cannot be courageous. When you set your goals, are they scaring the hell out of you? Or, are they goals that you know you can achieve? You should feel the fear and take action regardless. This is necessary for achieving the flow state. When you are in a flow state, you aren’t even thinking. You are feeling, acting and doing. It flows from you.

The prosperity of owning your power will unlock your ability to change your relationship with fear. How do you respond to fear now? Do you welcome it? Get clear on your relationship with fear. Then see where you can change, develop and upgrade your relationship with fear. Release all of the attachment to what anyone else in your life thinks or does. That has nothing to do with who you get to become. You then get to unleash absolute, certain alignment to the deeper essence and core of the inner entrepreneur that you are. It’s all within you. ou simply need to seize it. To do this, you need to: ➔ Accept and appreciate where you are right now. ➔ Acknowledge that you have the power to make the decision necessary for you to overcome that obstacle. You have the power to change it. ➔ Act immediately on changing it!

That’s it. This will open you up to finally breaking through. One thing that you can do right now is: ● Stand up ● Put your fist in the air ● Clench your fist ● Bring it down to your abdomen ● Shout, “YES!” That is your tactical mechanism for making an immediate shift when there is a challenge or barricade.
That is your “Yes” moment. That is how you step into breakthrough.
