There are so many people in this world who are dumber and less skilled than you...
Who also are...
More prosperous than you...
Healthier than you...
Or in stronger relationships than you.
And for the vast majority of people, luck had nothing to do with their success.
So, what's the difference between them and you?
They didn't "get the memo" about how dumb and less skilled they were...
While your subconscious limiting beliefs blocked your path.
Now, you might be thinking...
"Well, Curt, that's a bunch of woo-woo, law-of-attraction, bullsh*t."
And if that's what you believe, then you're absolutely correct — because you aren't your beliefs, but you do become what you believe.
Which is exactly why your beliefs determine whether you attract what you want in life, or whether you attract what you don't want in life.
Self-Sabotaging
In our Freedom Circle virtual men's community last week, we welcomed mega-bestselling author Randy Gage for a prosperity workshop. Randy is a multiple-time New York Times bestselling author and a member of the National Speakers Hall of Fame and the Direct Selling Hall of Fame. He went from addict and gunshot victim to multi-millionaire, and is one of my favorite sharers of wisdom on the topic of prosperity.
I asked Randy what he would say to someone who does all the "skills and tactics" correctly but still doesn't attain the prosperity they desire.
"I think the problem is people think it's about tactics and skills, but it's not about tactics and skills," he replied. "When somebody comes to me, and their prosperity is blocked, there's two really big issues that I just see over and over and over."
"It's either, they're holding on to something they should be releasing, or it's a worthiness issue. They have subconscious subliminal programming, and they don't think they're worthy. So they, unconsciously, subconsciously, self sabotage themselves."
Randy explained that he's seen people blow up relationships, find ways to get fired from their job, or destroy their businesses, all because of these underlying limiting beliefs.
"They're doing it because they have this subliminal program that says, money is bad, or rich people are evil, or you're not supposed to be happy in this lifetime, you should only be happy in the afterlife," he explained.
"They could do all the strategies, all the tactics in the world, and each time the tactic takes them closer to where they want to be, but then they blow it up. And then they say, OK, so something was wrong with the tactic."
"No, it wasn't something wrong with the tactic," he added.
The problem was the limiting beliefs that caused the person to self-sabotage.
"So many people, that as soon as they start to become healthy, happy, and prosperous, their worthiness issue kicks in," he said. "And so they sabotage and and they have no idea why they sabotage it."
Below the Surface
The reason people have no idea why they sabotage their success is that the limiting beliefs fueling the self-sabotage reside in their subconscious.
The subconscious is below the surface.
Think of an iceberg. Your conscious mind is the small part of the iceberg above the water. But the subconscious is the 95% of your mind that is below the surface.
Imagine that — 95%.
It's where your beliefs are stored, and these beliefs have been programmed since you were born. It's an amazing supercomputer with decades of programming.
So when your conscious mind needs to make a decision, it dips into your subconscious hard drive and pulls up a bit of your program. If you haven't cleared and cleaned the hard drive of your limiting beliefs, it will pull up damaging programs.
The List of Limiting Beliefs
Here we share the list of limiting beliefs we've assembled, tested, and curated. As you read these, you might think none apply to you — or you might think the wrong ones apply to you.
That's normal.
It's because you've never truly aligned your conscious and subconscious minds. This is why we work with our clients to help them communicate with their subconscious and identify, clear and clean their limiting beliefs.
If you'd like help doing that, you can book a call with me here.
First, we've identified five categories of limiting beliefs:
Yourself
Health
Relationships
Work
Money
And within each category, we've identified 9-15 limiting beliefs...

Awareness — Then Clearing
The key here is learning to communicate with your subconscious so that you can identify which belief or beliefs are providing resistance to attracting what you want.
Once you become aware of the beliefs, you don't want to "marinate" in them.
You don't want to talk about them ad nauseam and reinforce them.
You want to become aware of them, and work swiftly to clear and clean them.
There are several tools we teach our clients to identify and then clear and clean them (and, no, it's not just hollow positive affirmations and self-talk).
These tools are designed to help you move the negative energy out of your body, and they are unique and probably different than anything you've tried before.
But, as a client told me last week, "I don’t think I’ve ever been at a point in my life where I am more open to learn than right now."
If the same things you've been doing and trying aren't leading to different results, it's because your underlying beliefs are fueling thoughts and actions that are leading you to the results you don't want.
So if you're ready and open to learn how I can help you dissolve the limiting beliefs that are blocking your life of joy, fulfillment, and freedom, let's get on a call and chat.
Because, remember...
You are not your beliefs...
But you do become what you believe.
