We talk a lot about the importance of supportive beliefs as the source of your power.
After all, your beliefs are the filters through which your subconscious interprets the millions of bits of information that hit it daily – maybe hourly. And 96-98% of our responses and reactions are subconscious, automatic and in response to external stimuli.
So we have to be careful which beliefs we nurture. Beliefs are not good or bad or true or false. But they are either supportive or non-supportive to what you want to accomplish in your life. And the beauty is that we can choose our beliefs – really.
Our beliefs establish our identity. And our subconscious will do practically anything to ensure that our external world matches our internal world; our identity – all through our habits. To change your habits, change your beliefs.
Back to my point. How many of you believe you are real estate entrepreneurs? Lots. OK. Good.
How many of you believe that you are a survivor? Show of hands. Usually 75% or more answer Yes. OK. Not so good.
“Wait a minute”, you may say. “I have overcome obstacles my entire life. I can take it. I have proved that nothing can stop me. I am indeed a survivor. Bring it on.” I know many of you are thinking that because I used to think and talk like that.
But let’s dissect why sustaining the belief that you are a survivor is non-supportive. Remember that I said that our subconscious will work automatically to make our inner world match our external world?
Well, if your identity is that you are a survivor, your subconscious must create an external world that matches your internal belief that you are a survivor. And in order to be a survivor, what do you need in your external world? You need adversity, challenge, hardship and strife. You need those so that you can survive them and be congruent with your belief that you are survivor.
So to be congruent, you will attract (through your habits and subconscious actions) adversity, challenge, hardship and strife into your life and your real estate business. Do you see that connection? Is that what you want in your life?
So how do you replace that limiting and non-supportive belief with one that brings you wealth with ease and without struggle? After all, that’s probably what you want – Wealth and Ease.
Well, here’s a new affirmation for you:
I am a money magnet. I attract success. (3 times).
Doesn’t that sound more empowering and supportive? I suggest you add this to your affirmation list and daily mindset minutes. Let that survivor belief wither on the vine.

This is good and very true. Thanks for the kick in the mindset.
You Lance, the more I read the print that you write about mind set the more I am starting to believe in this mind set stuff. That last e-mail about being a surviver truely hits home.Hey, maybe this Lance guy has hit on something. Hats off to you brother. perhaps I took this mind set too lightly.I’m really thinking this one over because it hits close to home. Love the montra…I am a money magnet. I attract success Wow, maybe I’m starting to really get it! Thanks soo much for that thought! Greg
Right on Lance-mindset & retraining subconscious are critical to our new success-those who are already extremely wealthy and happy already have the right mindset & control of their subconscious-for the rest of us it (starting NOW) has to be a daily priority to change-can’t get there if we keep on doing things the same way. Thank You–Guy
Lance,
I made a self talk audio with all my affirmations in the second person and superimposed it on top of the neural repatterning audio to get double benefit. I listen to this at night when I go to bed and now I get to record it again with this affirmation added. Any more goodies before I do it?
Thanks,
Charlie
Thank you for reminding everyone that it is all about perception!
Lance,
I think of myself as a “problem solver”. I have always found solutions to situations (adversity) encountered in my businesses, but after reading this column,subconciously, I must feel that I am a “survivor”.
Need to change that.
Thanks.
Gordon
YEEAAHH! GOT IT! I AM A MONEY MAGNET. I ATTRACT SUCCESS!
