Our beliefs have the power to limit us or to inspire us. "Belief" is the mental acceptance that something is true even though absolute certainty may be absent. A limiting belief will keep you from stepping out and going for it. An inspiring belief will push you to go all out - to put your heart and soul into the effort.

Do you really put your all into something you don't believe in? Think about it. After you found out your parents were Santa Claus, it didn't really matter if you were naughty or nice, did it?

You need to believe in what you want and imagine for yourself. Only then will you achieve. You must have convictions about your vision of success. You have to trust it. Belief is not wishful thinking. It's not just hoping. It's more concrete. You must have faith and confidence that what you believe is true.

Let's face it, belief is not always easy. Believing in yourself is a lifelong process. Even for me, after 25 years in business believing still takes daily effort. I have found 8 strategies that I use to bolster my belief in anything I imagine. Use these 8 strategies for creating your CLNC success with zero limits.

Strategy #1. Look to your past successes.

You're a nurse. If you haven't gotten your first CLNC case yet, remember the things in nursing you didn't believe you'd be able to do and then you did them - like starting IVs, resuscitating patients, kicking a doctor off your unit.

Remember your success as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. If you've succeeded in getting just one case from one attorney, you can get dozens of cases from dozens of attorneys. If you've made $3,000 consulting with one attorney, you can make $300,000 consulting with ten. Any time your belief falters - in yourself, in your business or in what you want to achieve - review your past successes to reaffirm what you already know. You're a nurse and you can do anything.

Strategy #2. Expand what you're willing to believe.

Belief is a choice. You can challenge any limitations that are placed on your belief.

During the era of the telegraph, people believed that's all that was needed. But then someone believed there could be so much more and invented the telephone. Surely the telephone was all that was needed until someone believed there could be so much more and invented the cell phone.

As a CLNC consultant you must believe that you can reach beyond the limits of your past achievements. One of those limits might be your attorney-client's past expectations of you.

Strategy #3. Surround yourself with supportive people who expand your imagination.

I have a staff member, Evie, who sees everything from a totally different perspective than I do. Every time I ask her to review something for me, I think, "I'm a glutton for punishment." Before I know it, instead of sitting, I find myself standing up, defending my ideas…but also refining those ideas. Evie gets my imagination going and I get to where I need to be. When you're around stimulating people, people who challenge you and who think differently, you may resist at first, but ultimately your mind will go in new directions and gather new ideas.
