Self image and “FEAR” affect everything from your goals to how you grow your tax business!
If you have in your mind that you are a certain type of tax business owner that can’t change, or that you are a “200 or 300 client” operation and that’s all the clients you feel you can handle, well--YOU’RE RIGHT!
Until you change your thinking and your self-image, you will have a hard time doubling or tripling your business (and keeping it at those profit levels) for any extended length of time.
Why? Because none of us can outperform our own self image for any extended length of time!
I can teach you how to get 1,000 new clients over the next three tax seasons, but if you don’t think you could handle the growth of new business or you don’t know how you would oversee the added employees, then guess what?
You won’t do what it takes to get there because it doesn’t match up with the image you have of yourself.
Did you know YOUR “FEAR” of the unknown will also “stunt” your tax business’ growth? Fear is NOT a bad thing. It can be healthy at times. But if fear is a problem for you because it paralyzes you from taking action, then let me fill you in on a “little secret” of what fear really stands for.
FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real
That’s right! 99% of what you fear never comes to pass anyway, but the “fearful” information you have in your head makes it seem real!
You see, I’m going to ask you to do a lot of different things in this course that you probably have never done before. If you are paralyzed by fear, then you will NOT benefit from our Crash Course. Why? Because you’ll be too scared to DO anything I suggest.
Look, everyone has fear. We are all human. It’s how you DEAL with fear that sets apart the successful people of the world. They actually fail MORE than anyone else every day because they are not afraid of it! (It doesn’t mean THEY are a failure.)
When a successful person tries something and it doesn’t work out, that’s fine. It’s called a result. You have good results and bad results. Successful people don’t see a bad result as negative. It’s just new information that can be used to get better results in the future!
Remember: How a person handles failure (usually perceived through a poor self image or fear of the unknown) determines how much success he or she can have.
