Ways To Be Sure You Can Succeed At Anything You Want To Do

By David Ferrers

One of the questions most consistently asked of coaches is: "if I take a chance, how can I be absolutely certain that it will lead to success?"

The fact that the questionner is asking the question is the key to understanding their mental state. What they are expressing is doubt about the goal of what they are planning on doing.

The enemy that they are up against when they consider their future is not an external enemy. It is clearly the internal enemy of doubt.

From our NLP training we know that if we set out on any new undertaking with a well found belief that we will succeed there is a strong chance that we're going to succeed. The greatest difference between succeeding and failing is virtually always the strength of our belief that we are going to succeed.

It is definite that without a strong component of self confidence we will never achieve our goal in any endeavour.

The question then is: "How do I create a strong belief within me?"

The response is that: "you decide what you need to believe so as to succeed and you practice manufacturing the feeling of belief that you are going to succeed." It is quite simply practicing manufacturing the feeling inside of you that leads to your managing to sustain that belief.

Never ask other people whether you'll succeed, tell yourself that you'll succeed. It is not anyone else who've got to do the work, or take the risks, or feel the fear it is you. And the feeling that is going to sustain you through the difficult times is the feeling of belief in yourself and the importance of what you are engaged in doing.

I always check out: "will this enterprise or product benefit other people?" If the answer's "yes" then I set out to find a way to offer the product or service to the people most likely to purchase my product, service or idea. All I then do is permit my belief in the worthiness of what I am doing to drive me forward.
