Master Your Beliefs

Action guide

Thanks again for purchasing my book. I want you to succeed and to

get as much as you can from it. Please make sure you use this ac-
tion guide alongside the book. In the end, your commitment is what
will determine how much you get out of this book. I encourage you
to print out this workbook to make it easier to refer to it as you are
reading the book. Also, writing down your answers using a pen is
more powerful than just typing on your computer.

Let’s get started!

Part I. The nature of belief

1. What belief is

True belief
Rate yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 for each of the statements be-
low (1 being false, 10 being true):

I know deep down that I can figure things out and eventually will.

1 10

I developed the ability to remain convinced of that “truth” for

months or years

1 10

I refuse to let my environment stand in the way of your goals.

1 10

I move through my day with that inner sense of confidence

1 10
The difference between belief and delusion

Write down below one of your biggest goals or dreams:

My goal:

Now, how delusional are you regarding that goal? In other words, if
you keep doing what you’re currently doing, how likely are you to
achieve that goal (realistically). Write your answer below:

What do you think you would need to do to make sure you reach
that goal (or significantly increase the odds you do)?
2. The 5 characteristics of belief

1. Belief is a skill
What are you currently doing to develop more belief in yourself and
in your vision? Write two to three specific answers below:
-
-
-

Now, write down what you could be doing to cultivate even more
belief:

2. Belief is neutral
Belief is neutral. Nobody and nothing can prevent you from using
your ability to believe to achieve your goals. Knowing that, how will
you leverage your power of belief starting today? What will you use
it for? Write down your answer below:
3. Belief is your responsibility
It is your responsibility to believe in yourself. For a moment, close
your eyes and let that truth sink in. Realize that you can and will
cultivate rock-solid belief over time. Accept the fact that your ability
to believe is undeniable.

Now, knowing belief is your responsibility, write down one thing you
will do to regain control over your power of belief (for instance, join-
ing a group of like-minded people, distancing yourself from a toxic
person or reading biographies from successful people).

To regain control over my power of belief I will:

4. Belief is available at all time

Your ability to believe can never be taken away from you. Take a
moment to notice that ability right now. Realize that, at this very
moment, you can choose to believe.

Now, write down what you would do differently, if you were abso-
lutely convinced that the power of belief was available to you at all
time:

5. Belief is a gift you give to the world

If you dramatically increased your level of self-belief, who around
you would bee positively impacted? Who would be inspired? Write
down your answer below:
3. The power of belief

Belief can “distorts” reality by:

1. Changing how you think, feel and act, opening doors to count-
less opportunities that didn’t exist before,
2. Turning your subconscious into a powerful ally,
3. Influencing people around you, and
4. Inspiring people.

1. Belief changes how you think, feel and act

Think of one of the most empowering beliefs you could adopt (i.e.
something that if you believed would make the biggest positive im-
pact on your life). Write your answer below:

2. Belief turns your subconscious into a powerful ally

How do you think your subconscious could help you make that be-
lief comes true (come up with solutions, lead you to take different
actions etc.)
Write down your answer below:

3. Belief influences people around you

How would your new belief affect people around you (if relevant)?

4. Belief inspires people

If you knew that, with your ability to believe, you could see in peo-
ple more potential than they see in themselves, in what way would
you become an inspiration for them? How would you support them?
Write down your answer below:
Your thoughts create your reality
Think of one thing you really want to see happening in the future
(getting a promotion, finding a better job, traveling overseas etc.)

Now, imagine if that one thing became your single point of focus.
Imagine if it were the only thing you could think about. Write down
what specific actions you will likely start taking as a result of focus-
ing monomaniacally on that thought.

Specific actions I would likely take:

Your belief determines your results

If you were to rate your current level of self-belief on a scale from 1
(playing it small) to 100 (giving it all), what would it be (Be honest)?

Your current level of self belief:

Now, what you do you want your level of self-belief to be thirty days
from now

My level of self-belief in thirty days:

What do you plan on doing to get there? Write down your answers
below. Try to be as specific as possible.

Belief makes impossible things possible

For a moment, let go of any limitations other people may be impos-
ing on you right now. Instead, focus on what the absolute best ver-
sion of yourself could accomplish. Now, what “impossible” things
could you make possible in the near future? Write down your an-
swers below:

The size of your thinking determines the size of your ac-

complishments

What are you thinking about the most these days? Write down your
dominant thoughts below:

Imagine you keep having these same thoughts moving forward.

Now, extrapolate what’s likely to happen in the future and write
down your answer below:

Now, is it what you really want? If not, write down a few dominant
thoughts you would like to adopt instead:

Confidence vs. arrogance

Write down a few things you could do to appear more confi-
dent, perhaps, even to the point of being seen as arrogant
(broadcast your desire, stop using words such as “I’ll try”, “I
hope”, “I wish” etc.)
Then, experiment with one of these things.

Part II. Identifying your limiting beliefs

4. Belief and identity

Think of one major goal you’d like to achieve and write it down be-
low:

Now, write down a few statements that would describe the identity
of someone who has already achieved that goal.

5. Overcoming your limiting beliefs

Identifying your limiting beliefs

Select the one area of your life you want to focus on the most right
now. Consider the following areas: career, family, finance, personal
growth, relationships, social life, spirituality. Then, answer the ques-
tion below.

How come I’m not at a ten out of ten in that area?

You can make excuses or you can make progress
When you tolerate excuses you reduce your field of possibilities.
What excuses are you tolerating right now? Write down two to three
excuses that if you were let go of would have the biggest positive
impact in your life.

-
-
-

Challenging your limiting beliefs

Look at the excuses you wrote down in the previous exercise. Now,
ask yourself: are these excuses really true all the time in every cir-
cumstance? Or are they merely limiting beliefs you’re holding onto?

Finding counter examples in your life

Now select one of your limiting beliefs and answer the following
question:

Are my limiting beliefs always true all the time in any circum-
stance?

Your limiting belief:

The answer is probably no. So, look for examples in your own life
that show your limiting beliefs are inaccurate. Write them down be-
low:

Example 1:

Example 2:
Example 3:

Gathering proofs your beliefs are inaccurate

Now, gather case studies that show that these beliefs are likely to
be inaccurate. For instance, look for stories of people similar to you
who manage to do that thing you find excuses not to do. You can
write the case studies you’ve found using the space below:
6. Integrating your new beliefs
Finally, you want to integrate your new beliefs to make them part of
your identity. You can do that in several different ways:

• By writing them down and looking at them on a regular basis

• By thinking about them often
• By acting in a way that strengthens them
• By thinking of all the reasons why they are accurate, and/or
• By thinking of all the reasons why you want them to be true
Part III. Building foundational beliefs

7. The #1 meta-belief that rules them all

Imagine that your thoughts create your reality. If so, what new
thoughts could you adopt in order to design a better reality? Write
down some of them below:

8. Seven core beliefs that will transform your

life

Belief #1 — The universe is on your side

Imagine you truly believed that the universe was on your side. If so,
what new more empowering interpretation would you give to some
of your current life circumstances?

Write down below two to three challenges you’re facing and how
you perceive them differently if you believe the universe was on
your side. For instance, perhaps, there is a lesson for you to learn.

Challenge #1:

New perspective you could adopt:

Challenge #2:

New perspective you could adopt:

Challenge #3:
New perspective you could adopt:

Belief #2 — If others can, so can you

Write down three things other people are doing that you wish you
could do too (for instance, speaking a foreign language, delivering
speeches, playing an instrument well etc.)

1.

2.

3.

Now, realize that if others can, you can too.

Belief #3 - You can always become better

See yourself as a perpetual learner and understand that becoming
better is inevitable.

Write down below all the reasons you can become better:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

Belief #4 — If you can do something once, you can do it

again
• Think of one challenging thing you haven’t been able to do (yet).
• Then realize you can do it just one time. And even if you can’t
right now, at least, you can take one small step in that direction.
• Finally, understand that, if you can do that thing just once, you’ll
be able to do it again

Belief #5—You can figure things out

You’re a natural problem solver who can solve almost any problem
you’ll ever encounter. You can figure things out. So begin to adopt
the belief that you can figure things out.

Now, write down one major problem you’re currently facing:

Your problem:

Then, write down all the things you could do to solve it. Just write
down everything that comes to mind:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Belief #6—Failure is inevitable
To achieve success you’ll have to “fail” repeatedly. However, in
truth, there isn’t such thing as “failure”. There is only feedback from
reality. So being to change your relationship with failure and see it
as feedback. Every time you fail and learn from your failure, you
move a little closer from your goal.

Now, write down one big “failure” in your life.

Your failure:

Then, answer the following questions:

What did I learn from it?

What’s good about it? What positive things did it lead to? (mindset
change, new opportunities, invaluable lessons learned etc.)

Belief #7—Your success is inevitable

Adopt the belief that success is inevitable as you learn to use the
power of belief.

Remember:

• You have the ability to use your thoughts to shape your reality
• If others can, you can too
• You can always become better
• If you manage to do something once, you can do it again,
• You’re capable enough to figure things out
• Short-term failure is inevitable and leads to long-term success

As such, over a long enough period of time, you can achieve almost
anything you desire. So start acting as if your success was in-
evitable and see how things change for you.

Complete the following sentence: If I believe success was inevitable

for me I would:
 Foundational Beliefs

I can use my thoughts to shape my reality

The universe is on my side

If others can, I can

I can always become better

If I can do it once, I can do it again

I can figure things out

Failure is inevitable

Success is inevitable
Part IV. The Belief Formula

Below is a break down of the Belief Formula:

Empowering environment + repeating action + intense desire +
willingness to face discomfort = Unshakeable belief

Empowering environment. It is consciously putting yourself in a

favorable environment that enables you to perform at your best.

Repeated action. Taking action can solve a lot of problems including

a lack of self-confidence. It is what allows you to reinforce your core be -
liefs so that you can cultivate greater confidence over time

Intense desire. Knowing why you want something gives you the moti-
vation to keep going and persevere during tough times.

Willingness to face discomfort. It’s the repeated exposure to fear

through concrete action that enables you to get a glimpse of your true
nature (i.e. the confident and capable person you inherently are as a hu-
man being).
9. Empowering environment

1. Me
ntal environment

Reprogramming your mind

Using the power of visualization

Practice visualization every day when you wake and/or when you go
to bed. To begin with, you can focus on one specific feeling or one
particular belief you want to adopt.

Remember to follow the simple steps below:

1) Relax. As you put yourself in a deep state of relaxation, you’ll
gain better access to your subconscious.
2) Visualize what you want. See your ideal outcome as vividly as
possible.
3) Feel as if you’re already there. Engage your emotions. Get
excited about your vision. Feel as if you were already the person
you want to be, having the things you want to have.
4) Keep focusing on what you want. Repetition is key. Keep vi-
sualizing every day as often as you can.
2. Social environment
What type of people do you want to surround yourself with?

Are there acquaintances you’d like to spend more time with? If so

write their names below:

Where are you the most likely to find people you want to surround
yourself with?

Which relevant groups or forum could you join online?

Which book(s) written by people you want to be like could you read?

Could you create your own tribe? If so, what tribe would that be?
3. Physical environment
What are specific things you could do to improve your physical envi-
ronment? (removing junk food from your house, prepare your run-
ning gears the night before etc.)
10. Repeated actions
To boost your confidence, set three tiny goals every day and
achieve them consistently for at least 7 days and preferably thirty
days.

The power of habits

Below are seven powerful habits you can experiment. Perhaps start
with one (or two at most).

1. Setting daily goals

2. Reading your goals every day
3. Meditating
4. Practicing gratitude
5. Consuming motivational books and videos
6. Self-reflecting
7. Exercising daily

How to implement habits that stick

To implement your new habits, you can use the 5 simple steps be-
low:

1. Define your habits clearly. Make sure it is measurable so that

you know whether you’ve performed it or not.
2. Start small. Make your habit is easy so that you can stick to it
long term and build momentum.
3. Set specific triggers. Have a specific event or action after
which you’ll perform your habit. That will prevent you from forget-
ting about your new habit.
4. Stack your habits. Create a chain of habits by implementing a
morning ritual for instance.
5. Undertake a 30-day challenge. Stick to your new habits for
30 days in a row. This will help you establish your new habits.
Your turn now
Write down three (small) habits you want to implement.
-

Now, make a list of the actions you’re taking to reach it using the
table below

countability partner, hiring a coach or joining a group of like-minded
people.

term goal? If not, what changes do I need to make?

fine it to make it even better?

• Remember a time when everything felt hopeless or gloomy and

you didn’t believe you could be happy again. Then, realize your
negative emotions eventually faded away.
• Think of three current challenges in your life one after the other.
How does each make you feel? Now, visualize three things you’re
grateful for or excited about. Feel better?
• Think of one poor decision you made as a result of negative emo-
tions (anger, hopelessness, frustration et cetera) or positive emo-
tions (joy, euphoria, excitement, et cetera).
• For one full minute give yourself some words of encouragement.
Remind yourself that you’re doing well, that you have noble inten-
tions and that you’re proud of all the things you’ve accomplished.

threads, specific words etc). Write your comments below:

Now, what could you tell yourself instead in order to build long-term
self-confidence?
The four motivators
Remember the four motivators below and use them whenever
necessary.

1) Love
A sincere desire to contribute to the world and make a difference in
people’s lives.

2) Desire
Desire is different from love in that it’s not about contributing to
other people. It focuses instead on designing the life you want for
yourself. It’s about living life on your own terms.

3) Pain
Nobody wants to suffer, and we spend a lot of time shying away
from pain. When used intelligently, pain can be an effective tool to
motivate you when you’d rather do nothing.

4) Ego
Ego can also be a powerful motivator. You can use your desire to be
successful, feel loved or prove those who didn’t believe in you
wrong, to your advantage.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I hope you will become the hero of your own story and achieve
all your goals and dreams in the coming years.

Let me wish you all the best with your new endeavors. I’m very
much looking forward to hearing from you.
