How To Break Your Hidden Limiting Beliefs To Scale Your Business (Step By Step Guide)
Most entrepreneurs think a new business tactic is the key to scaling.
But the real bottleneck is often a limiting belief, not a new strategy.
A step-by-step guide on how to break your hidden limiting beliefs to scale your business:
---
For context
I've:
- studied and applied self-mastery for 7 years
- broken my limiting beliefs to close $120,000 deals in my sales career
Breaking your limiting beliefs is one of the highest ROI things you can do to scale your business.

Identify your limiting beliefs
Reflect on your inner dialogue when you face a business problem.
Notice your negative language patterns.
For example, you lose 4 sales calls in a row.
What is your self-talk?
"I'm bad at sales"
You have to know your limiting beliefs first to break them.
---
Challenge limiting beliefs
"If you question anything enough, you'll begin to doubt it" - Tony Robbins
Ask yourself if the belief is really true and if it is serving your goals.
Look for evidence in the past, doesn't matter how small. Could be a sales call that you closed a long-time ago. Actively look for evidence of how that limiting belief is not true.
This is how you start to break those beliefs that are holding you back.
---
Rewrite the belief
Create a new empowering belief by reframing the limiting belief.
Instead of, "I'm bad at sales" change it to "I'm becoming great at sales"
When you reframe the belief, your mind will look for evidence to support your new belief.
Psychologists call it confirmation bias. Ever wanted a car so badly that you started to see it suddenly everywhere?
There is a part of our brain called RAS (Reticular Activating System) Its job is to confirm our reality based on our strongest beliefs. Understanding this principle transformed my mindset.
---
Install the new belief
You have to stack proof in your mind by taking action.
This is the fastest way to install empowering beliefs.
Even if you lose another sales call, look for the slightest proof of success.
Write in a journal your daily wins, no matter how small they are.
Reinforce the belief
Breaking limiting beliefs is a continuous process.
Some limiting beliefs take longer to break because they have become a habit.
Repeat the process of reframing + taking action + confirmation.
Become the master of your mind and see how it reflects on your business.
Most entrepreneurs don’t lack strategy and tactics, they lack consistent execution. And the lack of execution comes from deep-seated limiting beliefs that they are not even aware of.

Great list especially for people new to shifting their mindset and reframing their stories, it can be very powerful and all that some need.
People get all wrapped up in marketing strategies, the hustle etc and like Dr. Joe Dispenza says they're moving matter with matter - a hard slog. The next step is doing what you're offering again for those new to mindset.
It's a good and necessary service you're offering Hamzah - it's where I started years ago and is soooo rewarding 💥💥

This is very slow, I think... Somebody did write a list of 103 Disempowering Beliefs Around Money - now supposing you have only half of them still... there is a lot of work to do for each of these... and that is why some swear by going directly into instilling a new identity. If you look for evidence of you being wealthy - you have to deal with one thing only and not with 50+ particular non-functional beliefs around money.

Thank you for your comment. Maybe some parts of my post were not precise enough. When you follow this method, you will naturally identify core limiting beliefs like "I'm not good enough", "I'm not confident" etc.
Therefore the goal is to change those few. I'd never suggest to come up with a big list and work through them one by one.
That would be insanity lol.
Yes you are right, you can directly instill a new identity.
But a new identity still consists of core beliefs.
Identity change and core belief work go hand in hand.
But for people who haven't done this inner work, working on core beliefs moves the needle faster.
