Are you frustrated because you’re not making 6 figures in your business? Or possibly you are currently making 6 figures but you are desperately trying to double maybe even triple your income. Sound familiar?
More than likely you are struggling with a couple of common mistakes that many business owners make as they attempt to break into 6 figures or more. These self-sabotaging mistakes can easily keep you from making the kind of money you desire. But there is a way to fix that easily once you know what they are.
Here are three easy tips that you can implement right away so that you can put that self-saboteur away once and for all so your income can soar to new heights!
1. Get Clear of Your Money Past
Money is such an emotionally charged topic for nearly everyone. We all have money stories that we carry around with us that stand in the way of us breaking into new income levels. These old beliefs, values and behaviors can be eliminated and be replaced with new beliefs, values and behaviors that support your desire for more money. All you have to do is make the commitment to do something about ridding yourself of these old gremlins.
Now you may be saying to yourself,Yes, Maureen, that’s easier said than done. But the reality is you choose everyday how you are going to think about any given situation. You can either choose to think about money in ways that will support your happiness and success or not. It’s really that simple.
The truth is that rich and poor people think differently. So if you want to be making more money than you are right now, check out your thinking about money and do something about it.
2. Stop Telling Yourself That Making More Money Is Difficult
I can’t begin to tell you how many people tell me howhard, difficult, or impossible it is to make more money. Well, as long as you tell yourself that and believe it, it will be. Do you understand that every time you say things like that you are just feeding all the negative money beliefs that you have and giving yourself permission to sabotage your success?
For starters, be open to the idea that making money can be easy and simple. The secret is in making sure you have the proper systems in place. Making money the hard way means you have either an outdated system or no system at all and are unfocused in your marketing.
Evaluate your current plan and see if it needs updating.
3. Start Thinking and Acting Like A Six- and Seven-Figure Business Owner
Tired of clients that drain you? Well stop accepting them and start looking for and taking on clients that meet your criteria as a six- and seven-figure business owner. Do you think for a minute that millionaires work with clients that exhaust them with their whining and complaining? I can tell you they don’t!
Million-dollar business owners have learned to shift their energy to a higher place that is now ready for better clients and higher fees. It’s like they have upgraded from coach to first class!
Look at your current repertoire of clients? Are there any on the list that need to be fired? Start strategizing a plan of action on eliminating these clients and replacing them with ideal clients better suited to your new mindset. Make a list of all the qualities you are looking for in these better paying clients and post it on your vision board.
By Ridding Yourself of These Old Beliefs You Are Making Room For Way Better Money and Clients!
It’s true that you need the right business model and you must understand the proper marketing steps to take to create this new business. But, the secret here is to work as much on your business as your new mindset and your marketing efforts will pay off.

My Top Tips on How to Learn a Foreign Language Using TheMedia
1. Listen Carefully
Learning a new language means you have to change your key and tune. Dancing the cha-cha to waltz music is like speaking a new language, while still using the rhythm of your mother tongue. Let yourself take in the sounds of the language as though you were listening to a new piece of music. Even if you are just a beginner and barely know any words, you can still learn by listening. Pay attention to how people speak. Does it seem like they are reading a phone number or rattling of a list of numbers? Are they angry? Happy? Sometimes, you have to shut off your brain and inclination to interpret to analyze. Listen to the words spoken and to your intuition.
2. Relax and Just Listen
Find music in your target language that you like. It does not matter if at first you do not understand the lyrics. You may start singing along without even knowing what you are singing. You are not only learning the rhythm of the language, you are learning new vocabulary.
Relax and close your eyes. Turn off the lights. Lie down or sit in a comfortable position. Do not try to understand the words, just listen. You might fall asleep or daydream. Give yourself the time to simply listen and not do anything else. Your mind needs to be calm in order to absorb the sounds. Your ears need no other distractions to let them properly hear all the high, medium and low frequencies of the language. Do this regularly.
3. As You Listen Write Down the Lyrics
Listen to music with the lights on, your eyes open and a pencil in hand. Write the lyrics of the songs while listening. You will have to pause the music and rewind or repeat many times to get the words down. Some words will be hard to write because they may be idioms or slang that you have not learned yet, but just write as much as you can understand.
Do not be frustrated with obscure words. Compare the lyrics you noted with the original song and see how well you were able to understand the song. Some CDs come with the lyrics inside the CD case. If you do not have them, look for them online on lyrics websites. Once you have your version of the lyrics and the original, you can see how much you were able to understand from listening to the song. Use your dictionary to translate the words you do not know.
4. Listen to the Radio inthis New Language
When you start listening to radio broadcasts, the radio announcers may sound like they are emitting a stream or storm of sounds and not individual words. In time, you will hear familiar words repeated and will learn to distinguish them. You can actively listen to the radio attentively and take notes, listen to it in the background or just close your eyes to listen without straining yourself to understand.
5. Watch TVDaily!
Let’s say you are learning Spanish. You have found a local Spanish language TV station in your area or you are watching the national Univision news. Even without knowing all the words, you will be able to get the gist of some of the news reports. The images and video footage of events already tell you what the news announcers are talking about. Tune into how they are speaking and the words they are using to describe the images on screen.
Even if you cannot watch TV all the time, it is all right to do errands around the house as you listen to the TV in the background. Think of the TV as background music like you would hear in a caf or restaurant. Even though it is not at the forefront of your consciousness, your brain is still processing it and getting used to the flow of the language.
So go forth, turn up the music and turn on the language-learning!
