Did you know that the REAL SECRET of the Ultra-successful is NOT hard work?

Did you know that the REAL SECRET of the Ultra-successful is NOT their qualifications?

Did you know that the REAL SECRET of the Ultra-successful is NOT their network?

While hard work, knowledge and a strong network are critical to success a closer look at the lives of the ultra successful reveals a much deeper secret.

Caution: When I reveal it, you might be tempted to click away because you might think this does not apply to you. Read through then make your judgement.

Trauma! (Yes you had it too)

Most people think that Trauma is something really bad happening to them (like physical or sexual abuse) but trauma could be a simple as your parents not picking you up from school on time, maybe last, and you felt something was wrong with you.

Most trauma happens in childhood and...

Covid-19 has had and will continue to have a profound impact on the world.

Many professionals will be hit hard by the effects of the virus but if managed properly, can turn the challenge into an opportunity.

4 Traumatic Effects of Covid-19 on Professionals

1. Job Loss
2. Money Challenges
3. Business Failure
4. Unexpected Illness to self or loved one

Trauma is not a well understood topic but most people have gone through it either in childhood or in adult life. Unfortunately if not dealt with, trauma stays with you for life and often shows up at the most inopportune times.

Most people either deny the trauma or don't think it affects them today.

Examples of trauma in childhood and adulthood

When trauma occurs, people normally adopt negative coping mechanisms or Protective Patterns.

The most common Protective Patterns are:

• Procrastination - delaying doing important things.
• Playing Small - doing things way below your potential.
• Perfectionism - waiting on the perfect time, economy, age, situation...

Karen wanted to start a business but she procrastinated, was waiting for everything to be perfect and doubted herself. She tried everything: read the business and personal development books, took some courses, listened to influencers and motivational speakers etc. But the Real Change came when she able to identify the ROOT CAUSE and remove her negative beliefs.

Have you been wanting to change something in your life or business but have not been able to really change?

Did reading all the stuff made you feel like you are missing something and you need to ADD something to your life or business in order to change?

What if you really needed to DELETE some things?

You see, most people think that they need more information and motivation in order to change. Karen was very motivated and had lots of information but still could not change.

Information and motivation are critical but they will not bring about the CHANGE unless you identify and remove the blocks that keep you back. These...

Have you ever been rejected? 

Rejection in adulthood comes in many forms:

• Dumped or divorced?
• Terminated from your job?
• Someone important walked out on you?
• Not given the job you were best suited for?

Whatever the circumstance, rejection causes trauma. 

Unfortunately, trauma is highly misunderstood and it can subtly impede your progress in career, finances, business, health and relationships.

Because it is highly misunderstood and often not detected, most people seek help in many ways (visiting a psychologist/psychiatrist, meditation, yoga, business courses and coaching etc) that are not actually helpful in dealing with the ROOT CAUSE of what is actually holding them back.

Oprah recently commented that “Trauma leaves a hole in the soul, and unless you fix the trauma that has caused people to be the way they are, you’re working on the wrong thing.”

The fact is that people have been working on the ‘wrong thing’. Not that the thing is bad or...

Which of these three paths are you on?

This article is the third in a series articles. It would be very useful to read the first two articles to understand the context of this article and to maximise any benefit that you may receive from it 1)- https://www.shaneram.com/blog/the-tale-of-two-mountains and 2) https://www.shaneram.com/blog/your-mission-should-you-choose-to-accept-it

Are you in Denial that there is a second mountain of purpose, impact, fulfilment etc?

Have you Resigned to the fact that you will continue to struggle for the rest of your life living on the first mountain?

Or have you already decided to leave the first mountain and climb the second and live a life of Purpose, Impact and Fulfilment?

There are three usual paths that people take when they realise that they were climbing the wrong mountain - Denial, Resignation or Purpose.

Add description

Denial - These people act as if they don't know that the second mountain exists. To fill the hole, they keep up...

Your mission should YOU choose to accept it is to live a life of Significance, build and grow your business that replaces your income plus have more meaning, impact and purpose while having more free time for the people and things your enjoy.

Have you ever wanted wanted to start your business but feel stuck?

Are you well qualified, but not being paid what you are worth?

Is procrastination and fear of not being able to replace your income keeping you back?

I understand, I have been there. But I was able to get to the Root Cause of what was holding me back for so long and develop a business and financial model that brings in the income to take care of my family, take great vacations and other experiences and more importantly give me the time freedom to be there for my daughters, family and golf!

From her birth, I was able to prepare my daughter's meals...

It was 2008 and the global economy crashed and I was in the best position, or so I thought.

I got to keep my job, my pay, my company paid for Benz, my benefits and Only show up when there was work - SWEET. I played golf when there was no work. One day, I teed it up and boom, down the middle with my first drive. Happy with myself and walking to play my second shot, a voice in my head said 'This is not it, You were meant to do more with your life, this may be someone else's dream life but not yours. You are meant to create more impact, touch more lives, do more with your successes and life'.

The First Mountain

Growing up in poverty, illiteracy and domestic violence, I was determined to be a success. Like most people, success was defined by career, financial, material and social status. So I set off to climb the success mountain, the mountain of career growth, financial and material gains and to be seen as someone successful to others.

The foundation of this success was 'getting a...

Did you know most people, regardless of their position or stature have one problem or another?

Did you know the Root Cause is almost always the same?

Did you know that most of us have suffered some form of emotional trauma in our lives?

Imagine having a special formula that can be used over and over for most situations and challenges?

You don't need to Imagine it : Path To Freedom is a proven process to get to the root cause of any problem/challenge you may have.

I have coached senior officials in the United Nations, CEOs, Executives and even a Senator and they all have one thing in common, an incident (What we call the Original Sensitising Event) which cause some form of emotional trauma to which they form a Belief and they Act based on the Belief.

Emotional Trauma does not have to be as bad as the word 'trauma' suggests. A kid being left back at school with all the other children gone home can be trauma for the child and they may form a BELIEF like 'I am not good enough' to be...
