There is no limit!Too many people settle for second best, settle for mediocre and settle for average. I was one of these people too. I didn't believe in myself enough and I didn't believe it was possible. Discover how to break through these barriers and achieve anything you want in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS The only person in the way of achieving success with your business is yourself. You are your own limit. Our limits are created by the people around us, our surroundings and our experiences in life. It's not the reality though. If everyone lived their lives as they were born pure, you would go and achieve absolutely everything and anything because you have no barriers. We must always work on ourselves and our beliefs. Constantly working on our barriers. They're not real, they've been created.  The only limit we impose is upon ourselves.Never settle for what you think you can achieve. Always go the extra mile. Always go further than you ever think you can. I absolutely believe that every single person is born with this genius to go out and change the world.  It's the fears that hold us back. Don't ever believe that crap! It's not real. It's not your reality unless you make it your reality. Always be aiming for something in life.You have to keep growing every second. We feel alive when we grow, when we're moving towards something. If you sit still, you rot away. Always be moving forwards but don't be a busy fool. What are you projecting in your business, every day, every week, every month? Where's my projections, what can I see, where do I want to go? Without that, you have no path to success. Many people don't project their business. They don't know where they're going. Take the right actions. You've got to know what you're doing. It's so important that you know your purpose, what you're doing, why you're doing it and the action steps towards that.  When you work harder on yourself and you become a better person, you'll attract better things into your life.I.e. better staff, better customers, better students, it's so important that people miss this, especially in the martial arts.  It's always down to you! Once you accept that, it's one of the greatest powers in the world. We point the finger, blame the staff, blame the customers, blame the students. Blame the government and blame society. Look internally, it's the one thing you have control of.  Analyse yourself and work harder on yourself than you do at your job. It's imperative that you do that, I'm always working on myself. It took a long time to get a person sitting in front of you here. "I'm going to do whatever it takes to succeed and I'm never going to quit until I get there." It's such a powerful formula and it's so easy. Think big and take action. Will what your doing today get you towards your goal? Know what you want, then go and get it. It's how we achieve things in life. Be accountable. Put your back against the wall. Then you have to do it. It now has to be done. You have no choice and that's a good thing. Do the things you want to do now. Don't end up regretting it years down the line. You're born for greatness. Be thankful for life and give thanks. You are your limit. You were born pure and magnificent. Go and achieve everything that you deserve in your business.  BEST MOMENTS  I used to get knocked down and feel inadequate when I was younger.No wonder that by the time I was in my mid-twenties, I had such a negative belief in myself. I didn't like who I was, how I sounded, I didn't like looking at myself. I didn't like anything about myself! It took me so long to believe that there's no limit to what you can achieve. I didn't believe I could win a world title and become the person I am today. It took years. Never settle for a No.Never settle for a Mediocre. You're more than that! The 3 B's: Be honest with yourself.Ask yourself honestly. How can I be better? What can I do differently? What do I need to work on? How could I have said it better? Always analyse yourself! Be kind to yourself. If you want to grow and move forwards, you've also got to be kind to yourself. Otherwise you'll stagnate in a hole of negativity. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. Be happy with your faults. Be happy with what you have. Gratitude is so important. Be grateful for everyone that you've got. It'll help you stay on focus and stay on point.   VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Business Gordon’s Book Gordon’s Website ABOUT THE HOST  Gordon Burcham has been training, teaching, and working in the Martial Arts industry for nearly twenty-five years.
