Getting the success you want

I was reading a fantastic interview by Chris McCombs on Kickbacklife.com . He was interviewing Bob Doyle of Wealth Beyond Reason and The Secret.
There is a lot of great material in this interview but what really impacted me was this quote talking about resistance.

“If a person has a vision for themselves and they know all this stuff intellectually, and they are doing all the stuff they are “supposed to do,” like they are making lists of things, they’re getting clear on their goals, they’re meditating or doing visualization and they’re still not getting the results they want, it’s because they have resistance on some level.” Bob Doyle

This may be tough to do, but if you are not having the success you want then you have to decide whether you are doing the things you need to do, like getting clear on your goals, etc. If you are not doing what you need to do, in order to be the person you want to be, in order to have the success you want, then that itself is a sure sign of resistance. When you say to yourself “I know what I should be doing BUT…” this is a sure sign of resistance. So how to deal with resistance?

Here’s another excellent interview, this time Chris Attwood of healthywealthynwise.com interviews Dr Joe Vitale.

What happens is we have a lot of beliefs about deservingness. We have beliefs about following our passions. We have beliefs about what we can earn and how we can make money doing a particular thing. Those beliefs are what put us in a box and put a lid on our experience. My own understanding is that once I take care of the beliefs that are in the way of me making money by following my passion, then I make money following my passion …..
How do you find the beliefs within yourself that need to be changed so you can live a life of passion and make a great deal of money, if that’s what you want from following your passion? I say they’re not so hard to find. “I say that you sit and you ask yourself some reflective questions like, “What might be some beliefs that would keep me from making money from my passion?” At first there may be nothing that shows up, but if you sit with it in a meditative type way, a belief will come up. It will probably be some of the general cultural ones like money is evil. Money, of course, is not evil.” Joe Vitale

Another way to deal with resistance is EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique). Back to the Chris McCombs’ interview with Bob Doyle:

“And so, those belief systems, and those negative feelings act as resistance, and they literally repel whatever it is that you were trying to attract in terms of your goal achievement. So, to get rid of that, you basically have to work directly on those energy systems that are the resistance. There are several ways to do that. The processes that you use to do that are basically referred to as releasing techniques. And there are several. The one that we use, in the “Wealth Beyond Reason” program is – and I recommend and do a lot of work with – is EFT, which is Emotional Freedom Technique.” Bob Doyle

EFT is based on a theory that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body’s energy field. Tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion alters the body’s energy field, restoring it to balance. EFT is based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat emotional and physical ailments but without the needles. More on EFT later.
