Traditional success coaches are big advocates of “affirmations” – repeating statements that you’d like to be true. For example, a classic “affirmation” is: “I am rich.”
Okay. Try it. Say “I am rich.”
What just happened? Did you hear a voice in your head that said: “Yeah, right!”?
The problem with “affirmations” is that they don’t work for [...]
When I discovered “success anorexia” and Afformations in 1997, I knew that I had finally found my Because – the reason I was here on Earth: to teach people how to stop keeping themselves from success and manifest their desires faster and easier.
