Hidden Fears Causing SQUIRREL MOMENTS That Sabotage Your Success?

I recently had a person comment on one of my articles on fear of success. He thought it was absurd that someone would fear success. He said, “Everyone wants success.”

Well, that is true, everyone does want success but why is it that NOT EVERYONE is successful? The simple fact is, everyone has hidden fears about something. These hidden fears can cause resistance to success. Your subconscious mind is operating on another level and it might be sabotaging your success.

You want to be successful but you keep getting in your own way. I know how that feels. I have gone through periods of sabotage. EFT is the best way to clear it and get moving again. If you are serious about reducing sabotage, you will want to do some EFT every morning to get your mindset and vibrational energy in the abundance attracting side rather than repelling. If you are resisting, you are repelling whatever it is you want to attract.

Think about what you want.

    What does success in your network marketing business feel like?
    Picture yourself there.
    What is happening?
    What responsibilities will you have?
    How much money is coming in with your monthly commission check?
    What is the size of your team?
    What kind of leader are you?
    How many leaders do you have on your team?

As you think about each of these things, take notice of how you feel as you think about EACH ONE. If you get any negative feelings like nervousness, anxiety, fear, overwhelm, or anything negative, these are things that can become blocks. These blocks can cause you to fall into sabotaging behavior.

Do you ever find yourself “going down a rabbit hole” when you really intend to be working on income producing activities? You know what I mean. Those “SQUIRREL MOMENTS.” Those of you who saw the movie “UP” know what squirrel moments are. 😉

Anyway, You intend to do some prospecting, make some followup phone calls, write a blog post or some other business building activity but you see a drawer that needs to be cleaned out, a closet that needs organizing, dust bunnies, a little online research, a cat video on Facebook. You find yourself distracted and procrastinating. The time slips away and you didn’t get anything on your income producing activities list done.

I get it. I have those moments too. The key is, when you notice yourself falling into a squirrel moment or some other form of procrastination, stop and do some EFT!

Think about some of these possible hidden fears:

    New responsibilities
    People expect things of you
    There are lots of changes
    A lot of work involved
    I’ll have no time
    I don’t like calling people on the phone
    I don’t like talking to strangers
    Fear you won’t be able to do what it takes
    Fear of letting your spouse or family down

    Past issues
    You may have witnessed the toll success has taken on someone you know
    The way your parents talked about successful people
    Harsh judgments you witnessed other people doing to people who were successful

These are just a few examples. There are all kinds of things that come with success. Some of these things are scary but EFT is a great way to clear those negative feelings.

Below is a Tapping Script for those times when you are having a SQUIRREL MOMENT. I would use Valor and Acceptance oil with this one. You could do some rounds with Magnify Your Purpose oil. More on those oils here.

Raise Your Energy Vibration Before Prospecting

It’s always a good idea to do a little EFT before doing any business, especially prospecting. You need to have a good energy while doing anything business related. You need to raise your vibration. Never prospect when you are in a bad energy place.


People will be able to feel your energy. Don’t believe me? Have you ever noticed when a person is in a really bad mood? You can feel your own mood change. A sigh from someone near you can bring your energy down. Their energy is affecting you. You are affecting people with your energy. You MUST have a good ABUNDANT energy when doing business activities but especially when prospecting.


There are several essential oils that are really wonderful for raising your energy. Abundance essential oil blend by Young Living is the TOP oil blend I recommend for prospecting. Wear it like perfume but also, put a couple drops on your fingertips before you start tapping the EFT points.


If you have fear of speaking up, use a little Valor first, then tap through the points again using the Abundance oil.


Improve Your Vibration Before Prospecting


** Note: Do not get too worried about which points to tap on. You can say any of the phrases while tapping on any of the points. It’s why I love the Tap While You Gripe Technique. 😉 Just talk (or think) and tap.


Tapping on the Karate Chop point: repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your situation).


Even though I feel prospecting is a little scary, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I don’t want to talk to people but know I want my business to grow, I accept who I am and how I feel right now.
Even though I am having a hard time approaching people, I choose to feel calm, confident and abundant before talking about my business.


Tapping through the points:
You may repeat the positive round more than once if you wish.


I feel the pressure to talk to prospects.
I feel so anxious and need to do something now.
I want to grow my business.
I feel so nervous talking to people about my business.
I am afraid they will not want what I have to share with them.
Prospecting really stresses me out.
I don’t know what to say.
I feel myself holding back.

Releasing Fear of Success With EFT

We often think it is fear of failure that is holding us back but, for most people, it is actually fear of success that gets in the way of success. You may be saying, “No way. I really want success.” The problem is, your subconscious may be saying the opposite. There is often one or more subconscious fears that are blocking the way.

fear-of-successSuccess brings change and that can be scary. We all feel more comfortable with what we are familiar with. It’s called a Comfort Zone. To be successful in anything, we need to step out of our comfort zone. This is especially true as we are working toward raising our rank to Diamond Level in Network Marketing. Lots of changes come as you rise through the ranks in your company. You want to get to Diamond but there is a fear of the unknown. What will be expected of you as the team gets larger and larger.

Fear of the unknown can cause you to subconsciously sabotage your success. Lots of fears come under the category of unknown. How will friends and family feel about your success? Will they be threatened by it? Will You lose friends?
Will you have to do things you don’t like? Example: speak in front of a large group.

Success in network marketing will mean an increase of income. That can trigger a host of subconscious fears. You may have an income set point that you have running in your subconscious. There can be a fear of having too much income that keeps you sabotaging your success. You may be saying, “No, I really want more income.” But these fears are running in your subconscious. They are conflicting with what you really want.

One sign that this is happening is that you find yourself procrastinating. Procrastination is a way we subconsciously sabotage our success.

We all have areas of our life where feel subconscious fears that show up as resistance. The tapping script below might help you shift some of those fears. In upcoming blog posts I will touch on some common fears that people have in their subconscious programming and some EFT scripts you can use to shift to a more confident state of mind.

Add a drop or two of your favorite Young Living Essential Oil Blend to your fingertips as you tap through the EFT script below. Here are a few ideas: Abundance, Believe, Dream Catcher, Highest Potential, Into The Future, Motivation, Magnify Your Purpose, Release, Valor

Fear of the Unknown:

Tapping on the Karate Chop point:

    Even though I am afraid to move forward, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
    Even though I feel uncomfortable about changing, I accept my feelings and who I am.
    Even though I feel conflicted about success because I don’t know what changes will come, I choose to accept who I am today.

Enhance Abundance With The Power of Gratitude

The law of attraction is always at work in our life. We attract more of whatever energy we are radiating. Whether you believe it or not, the energy you radiate can affect your business success – prospecting and sales. You know that you have experienced times when someone who is in a bad mood enters the room. You can feel the energy drop. When you find yourself in a conversation with a negative person, you can feel your own energy drop.


We affect each other with our different moods. The same thing happens when we have money worries, scarcity thinking, negative feelings about sales, talking to strangers about our business or product and any number of other negative emotions. Those negative feelings are reflected in the way we speak and act in any situation, or if we will act at all.


Gratitude is one of, if not the most powerful attracting energy. That is why writing a daily gratitude list is really beneficial to keep your energy on the positive attracting side. I have to admit, I don’t always take the time to write my list down but I try to express gratitude every day about several things that I can be thankful for.


One especially nice time to reflect on things you are grateful for is while going on a walk. As you walk, you can express gratitude for the beauty of the trees, flowers, streams, things about your life, health, family, etc. This should be things you are truly grateful for. Even in troubled times, there are lots of things that we can be thankful for. Celebrate those things. Reflect and rejoice over the good things. Gratitude reduces negativity. It is hard to be negative about your situation when you are thinking about things for which you are grateful. It also helps improve your mood.


gratitude-oilApply a couple drops of Young Living Gratitude oil to enhance any gratitude reflection you are doing. I also recommend using Gratitude oil with any gratitude EFT Tapping you do. Tapping affirmations is really powerful. I recommend a Tap While You Thank session. Similar to Tap While You Gripe. You just tap any EFT points and think or say whatever you feel grateful for. The combination of Young Living Gratitude Oil with EFT while expressing gratitude is really powerful.


There are also times when abundant things happen. Those are times when it is important to celebrate and feel gratitude. That energy helps you attract more abundance. Dwelling on negative things like not having enough money can actually repel abundance. Celebrate even when you find a penny. You attracted money!


Here are a couple examples:


Gratitude Tapping


Today was an abundant day.
How abundant I am!
I am always finding money!
Yea! I love attracting good things!
I got a phone call from someone wanting product info.
I got a coupon for $10.00 off business supplies at Staples.
My hubby did the dishes so I could return some business phone calls.
I learned a great business tip from my upline.

You get the idea. Just tap through the points and think of all the abundant things that happened during the day.


Here’s another option:


Just start in tapping when something abundant happens. This is a great time to tap because you are feeling the abundant emotion. That is powerful and you can enhance it and program it into your cells by tapping.


How abundant I am!
I found money!
I am always finding money!
That is SO COOL!
It seems like I find money wherever I go.
It’s like I am a magnet attracting money.
I LOVE attracting money!
I’m so ABUNDANT!


How beautiful it is here.
I am so grateful to be alive!
I am so grateful for my family.
We have such fun together.
I’m grateful for my Network Marketing (Direct Marketing) Business that allows me the FREEDOM to work from home!
I am grateful for my health.
I LOVE the beautiful rain that will produce nice green plants in the spring.
I’m so grateful for my ABUNDANT blessings!

How To Increase The Energy Of Your Visualization

In order for you to create a different life, you have to see yourself differently. If you want to transform your life or your business, you need to see yourself differently. How do you see yourself right now? Do you see yourself as a successful person or do you feel that success is for other people?


It starts with a clear vision of what success looks like. Where do you want to go in your business. Do you want to supplement the income you already have? Do you want to have full time income working from home? Do you want financial freedom?


WHY are you building your business? If you haven’t really thought about why you are building your business, you need to stop and think about that right now. You need a clear vision about where you are going. Not only seeing it but FEELING it.


focusWhat you focus on, you attract more of. If you are focusing on what you do not like about your situation, you will attract more of the same. If you focus on what you don’t like about the way your business is going, you will keep attracting the same things. You want to be focusing on where you want to be in your business. Close your eyes and visualize how things will look when you have achieved your goal.


I like to talk through my visualization to help me get to the feelings. Use lots of feeling words as you are doing it. For example:


If you want to get to full time income, you need to get to leadership levels in your company. Visualize yourself on stage getting an award and say, “I am so excited for the day when I will walk on stage and get my award. I am wearing a sharp business suit and there are upline waiting at the side to congratulate me, people are cheering I am giddy with excitement. I feel so proud that I have achieved this and I love how it feels to be an inspiration to my friends who are also working toward this goal. It is so exciting to have financial and time freedom and be able to do whatever I want anytime I want.”


I like to visualize getting awards because it represents getting to the leadership ranks which means you have built a large organization. It is not the awards but the FREEDOM that comes with building your business. Add anything that adds to your vision of success. If you want to travel, add some visualization about that. Just keep thinking and talking about the way you would like it to be and the feelings that will bring.


Whenever you catch yourself focusing on negative things you don’t want, stop yourself and refocus on what you want it to look like.

EFT Session: I SEE FREEDOM!


Even though I am not there yet, I choose to remember WHY I am building this business.
Even though I always struggled with earning enough money, I am excited when I focus on the FREEDOM this business can bring me.
Even though I haven’t reached it yet, I love to focus on the FREEDOM this business can bring me.

I love to think about WHY I am building my business.
I am excited to be building financial FREEDOM.
I love to focus on the FREEDOM I want.
I am happy to think about having FREEDOM with my time.
It’s exciting to be able to follow whatever schedule I choose.
I choose freedom.
I know network marketing industry thrives in bad economy.
It is exciting to help other people fine their FREEDOM.


I spend a little time each day focusing on WHY I am building my business
I am on my way to FREEDOM.
I am visualizing FREEDOM.
I SEE it!
I am growing more and more confident every day.
I am remembering WHY I want my business to be successful.
I am so excited to be reaching my goals.
I choose to focus on WHY I am building this business.
I choose FREEDOM!!!



Try this visualization exercise:

Close your eyes and start to think about your goal. Tell a story in your mind or pretend you are watching a movie but instead of just watching the movie, step into the movie and become part of it. What does it look like? How does it feel? Picture yourself achieving it and living as though you have already attained it. Try to get as many details as you can.


Now, as you are visualizing, tap the EFT points. It doesn’t really matter which points. Just tap points as you visualize.


Do this EFT visualization exercise every day. One thing I notice when I do visualization this way is that the images get stronger each time. I find this especially helpful when I have trouble visualizing.


Visualization is a very important tool for your success. Adding EFT powerfully accelerates the whole visualization process.


Give it a try. Hey, it’s FREE. What if it works for you?
