Self-Esteem predicts future earnings

If you don’t believe me? A new study might shift your perspective. It found that teenagers’ self-esteem levels can predict their future salaries. The study, called “Self Esteem and Earnings” comes from Journal of Economic Psychology. It found that poor self-esteem during adolescence is a sign of low future earnings as an adult. In fact, self-esteem can affect income as much as cognitive ability. The cocky kids made more income than the academically brilliant kids. So, smarts is not the key. Do you want to break through the income ceiling? Do you wish to grow your business beyond its poverty patterns? Then you must improve your self-esteem and that of your team. Grow it large enough to go beyond your current earning capacity. For the lone businessperson, unwilling to grow thei self- esteem, their business income may increase or drop by ten or thirty percent at most. Rarely will revenues double or treble their gross. Your income is set by your neural blueprint that you have unwittingly drafted. But how is your blueprint rendered? What forms your self-esteem?

Remember that time your dad said you were a fool for quitting your job and starting your business? What about the time that teacher made you feel like an idiot when you got the answer wrong? How about the time you went for that promotion and your boss told you that you didn’t have a hope in hell? And remember as a pimply teen that you berated yourself on sports day, “I’ll never be as good as them.” Each of these significant emotional events became feelings that went somewhere. Where did they go? They went deep into your neurology. These formed your neural blueprint. A circuit board, a program that fully-renders a picture of you in your head that says who you think you are. Fast forward to now...you’re out there trying to prove you’ve got what it takes. To your boss, teachers, parents or anyone who’ll listen. But you don’t even believe it yourself. So where do you start?

How to increase your self-esteem?

Back in 2004, my self-esteem was dangerously low. I had a $70,000 credit card debt, was about to become a father and only had $27 in the bank. All I needed was to crash my truck, get a divorce and I would have made a great country song right there. But something changed. Within three months I cleared my debt. In twelve months, I was earning more than our then Prime Minister John Howard. Now there’s only one way that a human can defy those odds – do something extraordinary. So, what did I do? I learned how to change my neural blueprint by learning NLP. I changed many of my beliefs. I transitioned from a victim to a victor. I removed those poverty patterns altogether. It turned me into a major advocate of NLP and I became a nationally accredited trainer teaching others how to do the same. Like me, I’ve seen the transformation in many of our students. Some who came to improve their lives a little, enjoyed a lot of wonderful mindset shifts. Increases in income and business growth are not uncommon. When you improve your mindset, everything improves. You’ve got nothing to lose. The worst scenario is that you’ll remain the same. The best scenario is that you might just discover an awesome power within you.
