Oprah’s show LifeClass was in New York City recently and she had Tony Robbins, self-help author and motivational speaker, on the show to reveal 3 ways that will determine your success or failure and face your fears.

As business owners we all experience fear and aim for success;  however at times we can all hold ourselves back from our successes and from our truth. Sometimes we are aware that we can sabotage our own success but we don’t want to get out of our own way because staying right where we are feels comfortable and secure. However fear is always going to be present in our lives and businesses; but learning how to face the fear and build specific strategies to feel the fear and do it anyway is how we will grow and succeed in our life and in our business.

If you want to succeed in anything you do, take things to the next level or want to experience a breakthrough in any area of your life and in your business there are 3 things that Tony says that will determine your success:

1. Have a Strategy - Do you have a strategy? Asking yourself the how to’s in order to get something done is critical. Thinking about a situation from all different perspectives and asking yourself specific questions on how to get it done, how to make more money or how to get something done more effectively is very important. Making sure you have a couple of strategies in place is critical for success.

2. Change Your Story - What story are you telling yourself and others? In order to change your belief system you have to change the story that you are telling yourself and others. We can get comfortable telling ourselves the same stories and this can keep us stuck right where we are. Try changing up the stories that you tell yourself and others. Expect, know and believe a better story.

3. Develop A Quality State – The state that you are in will effect your mind. Change up your state and get uncomfortable. The fastest way to change your state is radical change, in order to create radical change you have to physically move. Emotion creates motion, so change your emotion and create motion. Fear and energy can be both mental and physical, in order to change your state it requires you to take massive action to break out of your comfort zone. Once you take massive action this changes your state, builds confidence and creates a sense of fearlessness, so how are you going to change your state today?
