Building YOU to build YOUR BUSINESS by Ravin S. Papiah IBGR onAir Talent Ravin S. Papiah

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.


— Helen Keller






Questions relating to purpose are among the deepest and most profound we can ask. Answers to such questions are often elusive, but are easier to find when we ask the question in the most helpful way. Take a moment to consider this question: “What is the meaning of life?” You might be thinking, “What do you mean by that?” It’s a fairly nebulous question, and one that could yield all kinds of answers, or maybe none at all.






“What is the meaning of life?” with this one: “What should I do to live a fulfilling and meaningful life?” Both questions relate to purpose, though as explained by psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the first is asking about the purpose of life (“Why are we here?”) while the second deals with purpose within life (“How ought I to live?”).


Researchers in the area of positive psychology, for example, have begun to elucidate the key components of human flourishing, including how a stronger sense of life purpose contributes to well-being. For these reasons,

In order to find your life purpose, you need to do some work and for that you need to have or develop a GROWTH MINDSET! This growth mindset will help you to discover your hidden potential, which make it easier for you to find or discover your purpose. When you are aware of your purpose and your hidden potential, MAGIC unfolds.






How do you discover your hidden potential?






Carol Dweck, in her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, talk about the four steps to uncover your hidden potential. Let’s talk about this:

Now that you have adopted the GROWTH MINDSET and that you have uncovered your hidden potential, it is time to turn that potential INTO POWER and live your purpose!






But how?






Karen Gately in his article in the Success Magazine shares with us 4 Ways to Turn Your Potential Into Success! Let’s see:






Human potential is encapsulated in both our talents and energy—our knowledge, skills, experience and reserve all play a role. But our potential is only realized when we choose to act in ways that drive our success. No matter how capable we are, unless we choose to apply our potential, we aren’t likely to reach the heights we were born to scale.






How we choose to think, feel and act in every moment of every day determines the outcomes we are able to create. Although a single choice or action might seem inconsequential, the cumulative effects can derail us from our path to success.   For many people, choosing to act is easier said than done. Limiting beliefs and fears often hold us back from acting when we need to. It’s common for dreams to go unrealised because people fail to step forward.






When has failing to act constrained your potential? Take control of your destiny with these four tips.

FAITH + BELIEF + ACTION + PERSISTENCE + PATIENCE = MASSIVE SUCCESS!


I believe, I strongly believe, that you can build a very successful Network Marketing business if you have a burning DESIRE and a very laudable purpose of becoming your better version, so that you can achieve all your goals, provide a beautiful life to your family and fulfill the purpose for which you were born.


Julien and Kiersten Saunders in their article ‘Upskilling to Earn More Money’ state that Upskilling, or the process of taking your skills to the next level at work, can be a great way to increase your value at your current company and help you negotiate a higher salary when you start looking for your next employment adventure. Even if your company isn’t willing to invest in continuing your education, using the concept of upskilling to increase your skills away from work may pay dividends in the future at a new company. Filling in any gaps you may be missing or working on areas that need improvement can be a great way to help you advance your career.

E25 How Network Marketers Ignore the Negative Voice Within We all have a voice in our head – a combination of an internal dialogue and a narrator that not only tells our story but also comments on it. Often it is a positive voice, something that we rely on to help give us direction. But when we are struggling with negative thoughts and mental health issues, such as depression and/or anxiety, that voice can guide us down a slippery slope if we’re not careful.


If left unchecked, that voice in our head will become louder and louder – practically shouting negative thoughts at us. And those loud thoughts can become more and more negative, making them increasingly more difficult to ignore. As time passes, our mental health issues can become worse and lead to a plethora of symptoms that can affect our overall physical health too.


So, what can we do when those negative thoughts start to overpower the more positive ones? Let’s look at some tips for combatting negative thoughts:


Recognize Your Negative Thoughts Those voices in our heads just seem to appear out of nowhere. You can’t control them by turning them off, so you need to do the next best thing – identify them as the intruders and flag them for further evaluation. Notice and name them. Once you label these thoughts as negative thoughts you can then begin to evaluate them.


Evaluate Your Negative Thoughts Take a moment to replay that thought in your head. Then try to evaluate it by asking yourself these questions: Is it realistic or irrational? Is it based on a fact or on an opinion? What evidence do you have that supports your determination?


Most of the time you will find these negative thoughts to be unrealistic opinions. Plus, you will have little to no supporting evidence. And if you can’t remember what questions to ask, then refer to the following quote: “that voice in your head, that says, ‘you can’t do it’, is lying.” – Unknown


Adjust Your Perspective or Reframe Your Thoughts If you are still having trouble evaluating your own thoughts, try to adjust your perspective. If a friend came to you with this thought and list of reasons why they believe it is true – what would you say to them? You would likely be able to counter their argument and win the debate.


And if that doesn’t work, try reframing your thoughts into something more realistic. Think about how many times that voice in your head has been wrong. Think about how many times that voice has lied to you. Try to remember the last time that voice told you that “you can’t do it.” Did you fail? And if you did fail, how bad was it? Did the worst-case scenario happen?


What if Your Negative Thoughts About the Worst-Case Scenario Do Come True? Ask yourself: How bad would the worst-case scenario really be? Would it be life altering? Would you be able to recover from it? Do you see a path to recovery? In the vast majority of situations, the worst-case scenario wouldn’t drastically alter your life. And even if it does, there is an even more likely path to recovery.


And here is another important question to ask yourself. When was the last time the worst-case scenario you imagined in your head came true? Did it ever turn out as bad or worse than that negative voice in your head predicted? And even if it did, were you able to recover from it over time?

E 26 It Never Goes Away – How Network Marketers put limiting beliefs to work for them


Have you ever thought to yourself, I’m not good at something and therefore I should avoid that thing? These beliefs often come from a place of negativity and fear that keep us from experiencing new opportunities.


Why do we have limiting beliefs? Limiting beliefs, in most cases, are unconscious thoughts, which appear as defence mechanisms to avoid possible frustrations, failure and disappointment. At a time in the past, you may have suffered from something specific, and now when you come face-to-face with a similar situation, your subconscious finds a way to try to block it. A good starting exercise to counteract limiting beliefs is to look for the root of the problem by finding the agent causing such negativity.


So, how can you overcome your limiting beliefs?


1. Identify one of your limiting beliefs


The first step to overcoming your limited beliefs is in identifying what they are. If you fear there may be multiple limitations, then start with the largest one and then repeat this step with each limiting belief.


2. Recognise that it is just a belief Recognize that your belief may simply be a belief founded on falsities. It is likely to be completely untrue and is just a belief, not a fact.


3. Challenge your own belief Now that you have recognised it is just a belief, rather than a grounded fact, question your belief. Question it by raising such questions as: • Is this belief really grounded? What are the supporting facts? • Did I always think that way? If not, what has changed? • Is there evidence counteracting my belief? • What would it be like to think of the opposites to my belief? • Is this belief helping me to progress towards my goals? • How would I think about this belief if I were someone else (Eg. an entrepreneur, a doctor, a lawyer, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson…)


4. Recognise the potentially damaging consequences What are the consequences of holding on to your limiting belief? Holding on to the belief that you are not able to reach a next level RANK because you failed your first attempt can deprive you of reaching it in the future and have a better life.


5. Adopt a new belief Choose something new to believe in, something that will help to improve your life. This transition may not be easy. Depending on how long you have thought and lived through what led you to believe what you believe, it may have created an extraordinarily strong emotional bond and rooted the belief very strongly. If you want to go ahead and change you will need to have the strength and courage to make that change in thinking and adopt the new belief.


6. Put it into practice Take action and start implementing things that support your new belief. If your limiting belief told you that you were "too old to start exercising", instead start to adopt an "It is never too late to start" belief and then, today, go for a 15-minute walk to start exercising and create a habit from there. Conditioning yourself to your new beliefs means creating the reality you want for yourself in your mind, visualising the results you want to achieve. Visualisation is a great way to create anticipation. You will mentally experience result you want to achieve. With this, you will be sending congruent signals to your brain, making it work for you.
