10 Mental Viruses that Obstruct Your Business Success

“You are what you think about all day long.” Dr Robert Schuller

“If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.” – Denis Waitley

Just imagine your mind as a huge processing computer. A mental virus is often used to illustrate a thought that is toxic, causing you emotional stress, discomfort and pain. It corrupts your system, drawing vital energy away and resulting in an eventual breakdown in overall wellness.

Mental viruses are typically downloaded from collective consciousness. They are comprised of beliefs that come from societies, groups and organizations. At first, seeded as an idea in one person, the thought starts to spread from to other people as well. It becomes pervasive. Over time, it takes hold and becomes an accepted norm or belief.

Mental viruses develop into deep programming in your subconscious. By the time you are six or seven, you would have been infected from layers and layers of corruption. You simply accept the illusions as true because at that age, you do not have in place any filter that is designed to question them. And so, you could have ended up with beliefs without having done much inquiry.

If you are not experiencing the financial abundance that you deserve in your business, you may want to check if you have got mental viruses that obstruct your ability to achieve any real success.

My Journey As an Online Business Owner and Life Coach

Entrepreneurship involves a lot more factors crucial for success than just being an employee. When I decided to start my online business, I have had no idea about what I was getting into. I had taken a leap of faith by simply saying yes!

It appeared more than what I had bargained for. There was SEO, publishing a blog, setting up an autoresponder, establishing a merchant account and so on. However, it was not just the know-how that initially stumped me. Gradually, I became conscious of some of the mental viruses that prevented me from making any success breakthrough. I began to see how disruptive they could be.

Thereafter I started on a journey that took me into life coaching, Neuro-linguistic Programing, intuitive consulting, and various energy healing methods. I found out that undoing the deep programming was not an overnight process. When I first began, I kept reverting to habitual patterns of thinking. It took me repeated work before I experienced results.

Eventually, through a series of unfoldings, I began to connect with my true self. My discovery also showed that anchoring onto a new paradigm involves a shift that has to permeate all three levels of consciousness (namely the subconscious, conscious and superconscious). Without a follow through, the shift is incomplete.

Because of my personal experiences, I have felt called to assisting others in their journey too. It is also the reason why I enjoy sharing what I know through my blog 🙂

The Two Types of Mental Viruses

Mental viruses are of two main types – one that affects you as a collective (societal or worldly) illusion and the other on an individual basis.

Here are 4 collective illusions….

“It is good enough to just survive and get by.”
“Opportunities are scarce.”
“Rich people are crooks.”
“Becoming rich or earning 6-7 figures annually is morally wrong.”

Here are 6 mental viruses that affect you on an individual basis….

“I am not good enough to run a successful business.”
“I am just not business-minded.”
“I do not have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.”
“It is morally wrong to charge more money.”
“It is best to play small so that if I fail, no one would know.”
“I cannot be rich and spiritual at the same time.”

Deprograming Mental Viruses

Mental viruses are false beliefs. They are distortions to divine truth. They keep you small. They limit you in achieving maximum potential; thus preventing you from shining in your solo business. They are the “buts” that form your excuses. Mental viruses zap the doorway to permissions for abundance.

If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, then you will need to eliminate the mental viruses that corrupt your system (well-being). Identifying what these are makes a great start. You will be glad that you did 🙂
