Episode 12: Belief First, Proof Later

April 26, 2019

Most people wait for proof before they will believe something is possible. This is why they stay stuck.

The more strongly you are prepared to believe in your ability to build a career and life you love, the more successful you will be in building it. That’s because your beliefs determine what you pay attention to, the action you are prepared to take and your persistence towards achieving your goal.

But there’s a catch: you have to believe no matter what. Even when there’s no proof that your belief is true. Even when you encounter evidence that your belief might be wrong.
