Newsletter: 10 Things Stopping You from Owning a Ferrari

Published 2 March 2024 by

If you’re dreaming of owning a Ferrari, you’re going to have to work hard to earn it. You’ll need to add more value than anyone else to get one, and that means battling the demons inside your own mind. Success happens inside your mind, and you’ll need to figure out how to add enormous value and get the dollars to walk into your local Ferrari dealership and pay cold hard cash for one.

In this article I’m using a Ferrari as the object of desire or goal, yet you can substitute anything you like and follow the same principles.

But it’s not just about the material item of a Ferrari. Rather, let the car be a metaphor for what is possible and what you can achieve. In this article, we’ll explore the ten barriers standing between you and success, and a Ferrari. By putting your head down and studying what we have to tell you, you can overcome these barriers and achieve your dreams.

1. You Need to Change Your Mindset

Your current mindset is shaped by your attitudes and ideas. The first thing you need to do is establish changing your mental state. If you feel like you’re not making progress, it’s time to change your mindset. You need to start creating your future self. This is what is going to drive your actions in the present that will get you to your desired outcome. Your brain is like a sponge, and you need to fill it with fresh attitudes and ideas to succeed. Mastering your mind is the key to success, and everything else is secondary. Start by changing your mindset, and you’ll be on your way to achieving your goals. One way to change your state is by understanding this quote:

“It’s not the Ferrari we want to own, it’s the feeling of owning the Ferrari we want to own.”

2. You Have Limited Beliefs

Your beliefs shape your reality. If you don’t believe that anything is possible, then you’re limiting yourself and your potential for success. It’s important to recognize that your beliefs are a choice and that you have the power to change them. By adopting a growth mindset and believing that anything is possible, you open yourself up to new opportunities and experiences. Don’t let limited beliefs hold you back from achieving your goals. Start believing in yourself and the possibilities that lie ahead.

3. You’re not motivated enough

Motivation is key to achieving your goals, and lack of motivation is often the root cause of laziness. If you find yourself struggling to get out of bed in the morning, it’s likely that you’re not motivated enough to start your day. To combat this, try setting small, achievable goals for yourself each day. These goals can help you stay motivated and focused on what you want to achieve. Additionally, try to surround yourself with people who inspire and motivate you. This can help you stay on track and avoid falling into a lazy mindset. Remember, motivation is key to success, so don’t let laziness hold you back from achieving your dreams.

4. You Believe You Can Get By Without Hard Work

If you think that success is just handed to you on a silver platter, you’re in for a rude awakening. The most successful people in the world didn’t get where they are by doing the bare minimum. They put in the hard work, went above and beyond, and constantly pushed themselves to be better. If you want to achieve your goals and reach your full potential, you need to adopt this same mindset. Don’t settle for mediocrity, strive for excellence. Challenge yourself to work harder, smarter, and more efficiently than ever before. Remember, success is earned, not given.

5. Focus on Your Own Success

If you find yourself spending a lot of time looking at other people’s success, it’s time to shift your focus back to yourself. It’s easy to get caught up in the illusion of perfection that social media can create, but it’s important to remember that most of what you see online is not real.

Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own success and the daily habits that will help you achieve your goals. Small steps taken consistently over time can lead to significant progress and momentum.

Don’t let the success of others discourage you or make you doubt your own abilities. Remember that everyone’s journey is different, and what works for someone else may not work for you. Stay focused on your own path and trust the process.

By prioritizing your own success and taking action towards your goals, you can build the momentum necessary to achieve your own monster goals and create a fulfilling life for yourself.

6. Working with Those Barely Breathing

When it comes to doing business, it’s important to work with individuals who are passionate and driven. Those who are only concerned with paying their bills and not with their life’s work can hinder your progress. Dealing with the best suppliers, recruiters, and employees is key to success. However, sometimes you may find yourself working with individuals who are barely breathing. These individuals may lack passion and drive, but it’s important to approach them with professionalism and respect. Keep in mind that everyone has something to offer, and it’s up to you to find the value in their contributions.

7. You Feel Like the World is Against You

If you constantly feel like the world is against you, it can be difficult to achieve your goals, including owning a Ferrari. However, it’s important to remember that this feeling is often unfounded and can be a result of paranoia. It’s unlikely that anyone is out to get you or steal your information. Don’t let this feeling prevent you from taking risks and pursuing your dreams. Instead, focus on developing a positive mindset and dealing with challenges as they arise. The universe wants you to succeed, so trust in yourself and your abilities.

8. Discover Your True Passion

Living a life without passion can be like living in a bear trap. You may have convinced yourself that your current job is what you want to do, but deep down, you know it’s not your true passion. You may feel comfortable, but you’re not truly happy.

Discovering your true passion can be life-changing. When you find what makes your heart beat a little faster, it won’t feel like work anymore. You’ll wake up every day excited about what’s to come, and you won’t dread Mondays anymore.

Don’t let fear hold you back from pursuing your passion. Push beyond the barriers of success and take the leap. You’ll find that your reason for doing so becomes clearer, and you’ll live a fulfilling life.

Take the time to explore your interests and find what truly makes you happy. Don’t settle for a life without passion. It’s never too late to start pursuing your dreams.

9. Your Ego is Out of Control

Success can be a double-edged sword. It can inflate your ego to the point where you believe you’re invincible, and that can be dangerous. It’s important to remember that success is not a guarantee of future success. Your ego can make you overconfident and stop you from taking advice that could help you achieve even greater success. Don’t let your ego be your enemy, and don’t let it hold you back from achieving your goals. Instead, stay humble and open to learning, and you’ll be more likely to succeed in the long run.

10. Taking Action is Key

You have big dreams and aspirations, but what’s stopping you from achieving them? It’s not enough to just talk about what you want to do, you need to take consistent action towards your goals. Warren Buffett didn’t become a successful investor overnight, he played the long game and took strategic actions to leverage his position.

It’s important to be prepared to fail and learn from your mistakes. Every blunder presents an opportunity to do better next time. Don’t let fear of failure hold you back from taking action.

Patience and negotiation skills are also key factors in achieving success. Don’t try to make a million bucks overnight, instead focus on playing the long game and leveraging your position.

Remember, the more you talk about what you’re going to do, the more your competitors will outdo you in every facet. So, stop talking and start taking action towards your goals.

It’s about the emotions, status, and experience associated with it.

The essence of being able to believe you can own a Ferrari lies in understanding that it’s not just about possessing a Ferrari; it’s about the emotions, status, and experience associated with it. This is where we are tapping into neurotransmitters in our brain and that’s where the feelings come from.

Here are some ways to embrace this mindset and create that feeling of ownership. This is important because it will block out negative feelings of the past self that are holding you back and establish a future self that is owning it. This future self is what will drive your actions in the present, blocking out the lack of having one which will affect present actions negatively.
