Business Success: How To Acquire Financial Freedom By Learning From Your Past Mistakes

In order to acquire business success and personal success you have to have a healthy mindset.So, many people have not learned their lessons by their past mistakes and therefore, will have to repeat the lesson over and over until the lesson is learned.So, why is this important in a home-based business?

Well, it is important because it affects you, who you are, and how you are being in your relationships with other people.So, have you ever wondered how challenges and heartaches in your life could possibly serve you and have you looked for the lesson in them? Well, the challenges we have throughout our lives are really gifts.We have an incredible amount of opportunities every day to learn from our problems and to allow them to be our greatest teacher!

A success secret is to imagine, right now, that your greatest challenge is actually your friend and is trying to teach you something. I realize that this may be a stretchfor many of you, but just try it and notice what comes up for you.Can you look at the deeper meaning in the challenge and see the lesson it may be trying to show you?

From my experience, at times when Ive been going through the challenge, its been difficult to see the lesson in the midst of chaos.However, I have learned to trust that my spiritual source is working all things for my good although sometimes its been years afterwards when I finally saw the lesson and the gift.I realized that there was a divine plan in the pain Id experienced throughout the time of the challenge.

In my work with hundreds of students, as a school counselor, and adults in the home-business industry Ive noticed that FEAR has been the common theme---fear of failing, fear of succeeding, fear of taking risks, fear of talking to people, and many other fears.

So, let's take a closer look at fear and see if we can understand it in a slightly different way. If people could just realize that fear is just an ILLUSION they would move through it easily and effortlessly.However, since most people do experiencefear sometimes, its important that we look at it.

Looking at these fears is one of secrets to success and it is important to heal the feeling of fear.Fear is an opportunity foryou to evolve, to see it with new eyes, and to listen with a keen sense of hearing as a success strategy. Fear allows you to see where and howyou limit yourself and it presents an opportunity to find new ways to transform it into empowerment.

When we feel fear in our daily lives, it is usually an indication that we are thinking (up in our heads) about past experiences or worrying about the future. We are attempting to protect ourselves from a perceived harm or uncomfortable situation. When we experience fear it is because were disconnected to the present moment and are not allowing ourselves to go with the flow. Mostly, we do not trust ourselves enough to go through this process.You dont trust yourself to be able to handle it and you dont believe you have the capability of handling yourself in this fear.

As I mentioned earlier, fear is really an illusion and a mask forold pain and hurts. The more we wear the mask, the more we starve our own heart of love and joy. The more we protect ourselves from feelingpain, abandonment, sadness, rejection,and so on-- the more we become prisoners of our own doing and are blocking the natural radiance of our heart.Fear does not exist in the present moment.


Only love exists in the present moment. Love is of the heart and fear is of the mind. We cannot be in love and fear at the same time.Love is ALWAYS here! It is like thesun which is always shining.When the storms roll in and the clouds mask the sun, it stillshines behind those clouds--no matter what. The sun always shines and love is ALWAYS here. The more you notice love, the miracles, and all the beauty around you--the more love comes into your heart.

Love is a decision and a choice and having love in your heart contributes to having financial success.It is the heart that teaches us to see the GIFT in every experience and transforms our fears to give us a true sense of security!The heart lets us know that "all is well". It is the heart that holds Present Moment Awareness.

So, what can you do when you feel fear?Realize that it is not your most empoweredstate of beingand that you have a choice in how you RESPOND to it.This is different than REACTINGto it!You can respond with even more fear and anxiety; OR you can focuswithin to a more empowered state and just allow yourself to trust this experience and the lesson it is trying to teach you! Therefore, acknowledge your fear just as you woulda little child who is lost in a shopping mall.Comfort yourself by placing your right hand over your heart and take a deep breath in BREATHE!Reassure yourself from your heart that everything is going to be all right.
