How to Know When You Have a Limiting Belief
March 14, 2011 | 30 Comments
Sometimes it’s not obvious that we have limiting beliefs. I would say most times we’re completely blinded by our own limiting beliefs. And the reason we our blinded by them is because we never stop and question the thoughts we have in our head.
Instead, we believe them (which is a dangerous thing to do). Now you might find that from time to time you suddenly stop pursuing your goals, or you even talk yourself out of them because of these limiting beliefs.
So how do you know if you have a limiting belief?

Masterminding with Tony Robbins
January 20, 2011 | 3 Comments
I had the craziest dream last night. Guess who I spoke with for 8 hours last night while I was sleeping? Tony Robbins. It’s the weirdest thing. I watched a few of his videos last night before going to bed and then I dreamed (and actually spoke with Tony) all night. This article covers my insights from Masterminding with Tony Robbins.
Power of the Master Mind
You might remember the term Master Mind and Hill’s formula for multiplying your brain power in his famous book Think and Grow Rich. In Hill’s book he refers to Master Mind as ” The coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.” Hill never says if the person you Mastermind with has to be real or imaginary, except in the second last chapter of his book he speaks about the “Invisible Counselors.”
Invisible Counselors
If you take the concept of Masterminding and add imaginary characters, then what you’re doing is masterminding in your imagination. Using your mind, you create a round table of people (Invisible Counselors) you admire or feel are successful and ask them questions about the problem you want to solve. This is exactly what happened to me last night.
This dream was not something I planned or expected. It was completely unconscious and I’m not sure if I could repeat what happened. With that being said, I can tell you that the insights I’ve gained from this conversation with Tony Robbins have been very helpful and insightful.
Masterminding helps you solve problems in a big way. What you do is take the people you admire, respect and appreciate – the people who you would like to emulate – and you imagine them at a round table where you discuss your current problems and ask questions. The entire discussion takes place is your imagination.
Masterminding with Tony Robbins
I’d like to start by saying… I can’t believe how long I was dreaming about him! It seemed like the entire night – a full 8 hours – but then again it’s hard to judge. I’ve read that the mind processes information at much higher speeds when we’re asleep, so periods of time seem much longer than physical waking time. Click here to read more…

3 Limiting Beliefs that Restrict Your Ability to Manifest
February 22, 2010 | 10 Comments
I think one of the most difficult aspects of being a deliberate creator is to trust in the process of manifestation. To allow it to happen and hold hopeful thoughts of joy and happiness while practicing the mind power techniques that I’ve shared on my blog.
You become what you think about. Strong lasting words with very little impact if you still hold these 3 limiting beliefs:
Limiting Belief #1: The World is a Scary Place
If you believe the world is against you instead of for you then you’ll never be in a position to let the good you desire come into your life. Fear is a low level emotion that holds you in an everlasting state of incubation. It creates distance between you and what you want.
You’ll never germinate your dreams in this state of mind. Einstein once said,
“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.”
And that’s the point. You must believe that everyone and everything in your life is here to help and support you on your journey. The Universe is not against you – it’s for you – because you are a part of the Universe.
Limiting Belief #2: There is Not Enough to Go Around for Everyone
There is a virus in the minds of people that says that if I get what I want then somebody else loses. It also says that if you get what you want then someone else has to suffer. That there is only so much to go around and soon we’re going to run out.
This idea of, “not enoughness” comes from the mental habit of thinking scarcity. The reason it’s such a strong belief is because most people put so much attention and emphasis on the physical world that they believe that physical reality is the only reality. And that idea limits what they can create in their life.
Instead hold ideas of abundance. Hold ideas that there is more than enough to go around. Hold ideas that there is more than enough money, ideas, love, friendships and opportunity. Continually coax and convince yourself that we live in an abundant Universe; that there is more than enough for everyone.

How to Stop Negative Thoughts and That Little Voice In Your Head
November 4, 2009 | 240 Comments
Have you ever started a new project where you were really excited and the people in your life could sense your enthusiasm?
You were completely inspired and motivated. Things couldn’t be better – you felt like this was what you were meant to be doing.
Then “WHAM-O,” you hit a brick wall. Something you didn’t expect.
Maybe you had an argument with someone special in your life or you just had a bad day, and for some reason that set everything off course.
Then as you thought of ways to get back on track – to get things going again, you heard that little voice in your head say, “Maybe you shouldn’t be doing this. Maybe this is a sign.”
And the more you listened to that little voice, the more you began to believe it – maybe the voice is right!
Know what I mean?
One of the biggest personal challenges I’ve had to face in almost everything I’ve accomplished from becoming a coach, keeping my blog going and even proposing to my wife – has been to effectively wash out that little voice, so that I could do what I thought was right for me.
If there is one obstacle that is a dream killer, it’s that little voice. It can take your big dreams and crush them…. unless you know the right technique to overcome these negative thoughts quickly.
This very powerful technique is something you won’t find anywhere else. It’s something I’ve been using for quite a while with great success. Have a look:

Your Unconscious Performance Limit (to Earn More Money)
October 19, 2009 | 10 Comments
Have you wondered why you make the money that you do?
Without giving it much thought, you could say that the money you earn is a function of the skills you’ve acquired over the years, your experience and choice of career. That makes sense at least somewhat, but it does bring up some bigger questions, like:
- Why did you pick that career?
- Why have you progressed quicker or slower than others in the same position?
- What has motivated you to become more (or less) skillful at your job?
- Why do some “lucky people” earn more money while others do not?
Over the years I’ve constantly been looking for answers to these questions. A billionaire could go out and make a few million dollars today, while another perfectly able person struggles to put food on the table.
There is a huge gap. Some earn far more money than others, but why?
Earn More Money
Here’s an example that really hit home for me. You can take a seasoned engineer that earns $50k per year. You could also take another engineer with the same experience (in the same location) and he could easily earn up to $100k per year. Doesn’t make sense, does it? There is this huge gap.
Take my personal experience for instance. When I started working as an engineer I was earning $42K per year. It was my junior year and I was just starting out, so it was good money. I was renting a place for $300 a month and had very few expenses. I was living it up. Life was good.
The after a couple of years I moved to Toronto and started earning $58k per year – a considerable jump, but with more job responsibility. As I got better at my job, I eventually made more money. Every 2-3 years I made considerable jumps in my income. This made me feel good because I knew that I was worth the money, but it was a long time coming – over a period of 7 years in total.
Then something weird happened. It was November 2008 and I decided to leave my job. At the time I was grossing $70K per year. I couldn’t explain it, but as I was leaving my “secure job” I was offered a role as an engineering consultant. My income skyrocketed by another 43%!!! Click here to read more…

How to Develop Self Belief and The Magic of Believing
September 9, 2009 | 4 Comments
The magic of believing is a double edged sword. You may have heard of people speaking about the importance of being hopeful and having faith in your dreams, to believe in the unseen. There is some truth in those statements, but ultimately you still have to “see it to believe it.”
So how do you believe in something you can’t see? How do you hold your dreams close to you when there is no end in sight? How do you achieve the impossible?
The Magic of Believing
To increase your self-belief, you require a new lens; a new way of looking at the world. You need to understand that your eyes and brain work together to create your mental projections of reality. It’s just as Michael Talbot said in his book, The Holographic Universe:
“The eyes may be visual organs, but it is the brain that sees.”
The fact is that your retina collects light energy and converts that light energy into electrical signals. Those electrical signals are then processed by your brain so that you get information about what you’re seeing.
And here’s some scientific evidence that you’ll find very interesting. A recent study (2009) completed by German scientists at the University of Munich collected data on the neural activity of mice.
When babe mice are born, their eyes remained closed for the first 3-4 weeks. The German scientists measured the neural activity of these mice while their eyes were closed and found that activity is primarily intrinsic; meaning that brain activity along the visual channels comes from internal sources.
When the scientists measured brain activity when eyes were closed they found that 75% of the nerve cells were active.
The scientists also measured the neural activity of these mice while their eyes were opened. With open eyes the active nerve sells reduces to about 12%. At this time the intrinsic or internal factors become less important than while their eyes are closed.

Personal Growth Series: 2 of 5
December 22, 2008 | 1 Comment
This is the second in the series on my personal growth journey. I’ll share more on mindset and some empowering beliefs I used when I was younger as a hockey player. These beliefs were the foundation to a lot of my earlier success in hockey and other sports.
Now I didn’t play hockey professionally, it was just for fun. The thing with hockey is that there are so many skill sets that you need to learn at one time. It’s a tough sport to pick up quickly.
We used to play hockey both indoors and outdoors. There is a park and outdoor skating rink nearby my parents place in Sudbury. We used to play in all sorts of weather when we were growing up. A group of my friends would even play when it was below -25 C (-13 F) outside.
I started playing hockey when I was 10 years old. I was terrible at the time. I couldn’t skate or puck handle. I was one of those kids that we used to call an, “ankle burner.” You know, ankles rubbing the ice…. I think you get the picture.
1987, Quantum Leap Learning from Hockey
After my first year of hockey, I was devastated. My confidence was at an all time low and I wasn’t sure if hockey was for me. I was just so bad. I was terrible. I couldn’t skate, I couldn’t puck handle and I wasn’t having any fun.
