If you really want success in network marketing or any important goal you have, you need to get rid of negative self-limiting beliefs. That can be a challenge because we all have things from our past that has affected our mental programming. Those things factor in to how we move through life today.

One underlying fear that you may not even be aware of is the fear of change.

It’s funny, you are working toward a goal because you want to change things but there is an underlying fear of change. You don’t have to be a mental giant to see that is going to be a major block to progress. It’s like climbing up a hill dragging a heavy object behind you. The intensity of the fear determines how heavy the block. If it’s just a little bit, you may only be slowed down but if it’s a really intense fear, it could keep you at a standstill for a long time.

The fear of change applies to all kinds of things: business goals, weight loss goals, spiritual goals, etc.

The fear of change can be a big one. It is a fear that you may not even recognize but it could be getting in the way or slowing you down. It’s so much easier to stay with what you are familiar with, in your comfort zone.

Procrastination is one sign that you have some subconscious fear that is blocking your path. If you find that you are procrastinating things that would really move your business forward, you most likely have a fear of success. There are many little fears that can be going on.

When you notice you are procrastinating, stop and evaluate your feelings about success in your business. Think about what it will be like when you reach your goal. Whatever the goal is, picture yourself there. What feelings come up?

Do you notice any little negative feelings when you ask yourself these questions:

If I am successful in my network marketing business, what will happen? Will I have a lot of responsibility? Success in the network marketing profession requires that I will be a leader of a large group of people. Will I be able to lead a group of people? Am I responsible for their success? Will people be calling me and asking all kinds of questions? What if I don’t know the answers?

Will I have to speak in front of people at company events?

What if I start earning a lot of money? Will people start taking advantage of me?

How will my friends react if I become a big success in this business? Will they change how they feel about me? Will they be jealous of my success?

There are all kinds of underlying fears that can become blocks to our making progress. Those blocks can cause you to procrastinate and not be focused on the tasks that really produce results in business.

You can do some EFT to help release the fear of change. Try the EFT script below. Add any word changes that would better fit your feelings around this issue.

EFT - Release Fear of Change

Do you ever find yourself putting things off that you know will help your business grow faster? Sometimes getting sidetracked and going down a rabbit hole of time wasting activity. Even personal development and product training can become time wasting activity if we are not taking action on what we are learning. If you don’t take action, you have NO network marketing business. Action is what will grow your income.

We all we get distracted with time wasting activities from time to time but what if it has become a pattern? What if you find yourself organizing the office or files on the computer. Or, one I have had trouble with at times is making graphics and marketing materials for my team. Those are all good things to do but NOT if it causes you to neglect Income Producing ACTION.

Time wasting activities are a way of procrastinating. Procrastination is always caused by a subconscious fear that is causing resistance to taking action. You can clear some of these fears with EFT. EFT can also help you get moving in action.

Have a little talk with yourself and commit to just one ACTION. I like to do this on days when I find myself struggling with distractions and not feeling like doing Income Producing Activities. It has to be an income producing action (IPA). Organizing your desk doesn’t count as action. 😉

Income producing action would be some contact with another person where there is potential for a business connection, a follow up call, email or text, ask a question and share an oil or a flyer, connect with an old friend, share a drop of essential oil with someone who needs it, etc. There are lots of actions you could take.

Before you do that, why not do some tapping. Here is a tapping script for Taking One Action.

Essential oils that could be used with this tapping: Release, Valor, Abundance, Acceptance, Magnify Your Purpose, Motivation, Field.

Add a drop or two of essential oil to fingertips before tapping through the points.

While tapping the karate chop point on either hand, repeat these phrases, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).

Even though I’ve been holding myself back from action, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I’ve been holding myself back from action, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself.
Even though I’ve been holding myself back from action, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

I’ve been holding back.
Blocking myself with inaction.
It’s really bothering me.
There’s things I could be doing.
There are definitely some things that I could be getting done.
Actions I could be taking.
I intend to build a successful business that will change my life.
I know I need to take action if I want my business to succeed.
Income producing action.
Talking to people.
Using products in front of people to stir interest and conversation.
Approaching people and talking about my products.
Something is holding me back.
I find myself holding back.
I need to follow up.
Make a phone call to that new member.
but I keep putting it off.
Why am I holding back?
What am I afraid of?
There is a fear deep down inside.
It’s a little out of my comfort zone.
Do I have a fear of abundance?
It must be in there, so I don’t take action,
because if I took certain actions,
it might lead to abundance.
Then what?
How do I handle all that abundance?
I’m afraid, so I hold back.
I’m letting that way of thinking go now.
I’m letting that way of thinking go now.
I want this business to change my life.
I intend to make progress.
So what if some are not interested?
So what if I make some mistakes?
I will take One Action Today.
One Income Producing Action.
I know I will feel stronger with each action I take.
More confident with each action I take.
One action will lead to another, then another.
I get better with each action.
Most of the learning is accomplished through action.
I’m moving forward with each action I take.
Making progress every day.
Facing my fears with each action and
feeling more and more confident about making progress.
I’m showing up to work.
I am releasing my fears and taking action. One action at a time.
I am looking forward to Taking One Action Step.
I know it’s okay to have abundance.
I delight in having abundance.
I love having abundance.
I love taking action.
I love taking action.
I love being of service.
I am Joyfully allowing abundance.
Gratefully allowing abundance.
Knowing that I deserve it.
I am joyfully and gratefully taking inspired action.

Take a deep breath.

Do you ever feel STUCK in your business? You set goals with the intent to reach them but it seems like it’s a constant struggle.

We all feel stuck sometimes. You know what I mean. Progress seems to stop or be going really slowly. Stuck at a rank for what seems like a long time without seeing progress towards the next rank, or stuck at an income that is nowhere near the amount you have set as your goal.

I know what it is like to be stuck at the same rank for years. I knew I was stuck. I wanted to move to the next rank and I was OK with that for way too long. I actually knew why I was stuck. It was fears around what would happen if I advanced to Diamond. What would be expected of me? How big a change? Will I have any free time?

Whenever you are stuck or finding yourself in a procrastination loop, it is ALWAYS because of an underlying fear. I have had people respond that they don’t have fear about reaching their goal. “I want to get to Diamond” or “I want to earn a 6 figure income.” The problem is, they are not progressing. If you are not making progress, there is something blocking your goals. Underlying fears cause procrastination and other sabotage behaviors. If you find yourself having a lot of “squirrel moments” or going down rabbit holes that distract you from income producing activity, there is a subconscious fear blocking your progress.

Do you know WHY you are stuck?

I didn’t know why I was stuck but once I started noticing my feelings and asking the right questions, I began to realize which underlying fears were getting in my way. Once I realized the “downside” to reaching my goal, I could start working on it with EFT.

We all have things going on in our subconscious that can turn into blocks. If you have been a distributor in a company for any length of time there will be a few dissatisfied customers or distributors. Yup, it will happen. Some people will test your patience. Some will even start a vicious cycle of drama when they feel they have been wronged. It happened to me and it was a very hard time to go through. It was easy to spot the blocks that came up from that event. It threw me into protection mode. Never again was I going to allow someone to put me in a spot where they could hurt me that way. It affected my business building. I was angry and it overflowed into everything I was doing. I started doing busy work instead of income producing activity and got stuck in a pattern of procrastination and sabotage. I was STUCK!

The problem is, when your subconscious is protecting you, it is actually putting a halt to your progress. It means well but it’s not really helping.

We all have this subconscious protection going on. It could be something really simple. You could have had some embarrassing thing happen as a child and something today reminds you of it. The trick is asking the right questions to help you realize what underlying fears are getting in your way.

Ask yourself, “What is the downside of getting to your goal?” There could be a LOT of little things that go in the downside column.

Will I have to speak in front of people?
Will I have people constantly wanting things from me?
Will I have a moments peace from people contacting me with questions, complaining, solving problems, etc.?
Will I have time for myself?
Will I be able to help my team be successful?
Will I become a target for people with bad motives?
What will my friends and family think of my goals?

There are lots of things that could be going on in your subconscious. Ask the questions and then tap on any negative issues.

Here is a little tapping on being stuck. You can change the words to anything that feels right. It doesn’t matter what points you tap. Just tap and talk through whatever comes up.

Focus in on your feelings around reaching your income or rank goal.

Essential oils that could be used with this tapping: Valor, Abundance, Acceptance, Magnify Your Purpose, Motivation, Release, Field.
Add a drop or two of essential oil to fingertips before tapping through the points.

While tapping the karate chop point on either hand, repeat these phrases, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).

Even though I know I am stuck, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
Even though I’m so tired of being stuck, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
Even though I really want to get to the next goal but I am stuck and sabotaging progress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself

Tap through the points:

I am stuck.
Not making any real progress
It feels so frustrating when I am stuck.
I wish I could just reach my goals quickly like some people do.
I’m not even sure why I am stuck.
I know there is some fear blocking me.
Somewhere inside I am protecting myself from something.
I don’t feel comfortable with success so I sabotage myself.
For some reason I keep sabotaging my success.
I just can’t seem to get unstuck.
I am resisting success but I want success.
I don’t know why I keep sabotaging myself.
I want success but I can’t seem to get unstuck.
This issue keeps coming up.
I make a few steps forward but then something stops me and gets me stuck again.
I am ready to release the emotional attachment to being stuck.
I release the emotional attachment to staying stuck.
I am ready to look at the real reasons I have been staying stuck and making very slow progress.

I am releasing the need to protect myself from the unknown.

I choose to feel safe and confident in my success.
I deserve success.
I choose to feel comfortable reaching my biggest goals.
I forgive myself for the times I was stuck.
I feel good moving forward.
I AM the power to change my life.
I am celebrating progress and reaching my goals.
I comfortable and safe making progress and reaching my goals.
I am excited about the progress and the changes I am making.

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.

I rarely do EFT without using some oils to enhance the tapping. If you would like to really power up your tapping, check out the EFT Oils.

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:
