Hey guys,

I've been thinking about this question: "What's holding you back?"

Or to put it another way: What do you say/do inside your mind to hold yourself back? (notice what I am suggesting!) :)

What I realized is that every answer that comes forth is based on a victim mentality which is the complete opposite of how successful millionaires think! It's the difference between, "I create my life" and "Life happens to me" (for those of you who know T. Harv Eker will recognize these statements).

So be honest with yourself: What's holding you back?

Take a look at your answer and ask, "Is this how a millionaire would think?"

If not, then do something about it :)
