John Assaraf explains how fear, both conscious and unconscious, stops people from pursuing financial and life goals. A survey of 90,000 people shows that fear triggers a "fierce surprise circuit" in the brain that shuts down the prefrontal cortex, your brain's CEO. He's hosting Money Squared, a June 13-15 livestream on retraining your brain to recognize and release these fears.

Hey, this is John Assraf and I hope you're having an amazing day. Now, in a recent survey of over 90,000 people, we asked them what their top fears were that were holding them back from achieving the financial and life success that they wanted. And I've got a list of hundreds of difference of fears that people have that are really holding them back. Things like fear of rejection, fear of being overwhelmed, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of making mistakes, fear of the unknown, fear of losing their freedom, fear of losing it all. Fear of not being good enough. Or fear of not being smart enough, fear of being hurt. Now, I could go on and on and on about all of these. And what I want you to understand is every single person has fears. Some of them they're conscious of or aware of them, and others they're unconsciously unaware of them. Meaning they don't really know that they exist. But what I can share with you, in working with hundreds of thousands of people in the world and some of the best brain researchers in the world, there's a fierce surprise circuit in the brain that when it trips, it actually causes you to have doubts. It causes you to rationalize why you're not going to move forward and take action on the goals and the dreams that you have. It actually causes you to stop using the most important part of your brain called the left prefrontal cortex, which is what scientists refer to as the CEO of your brain. The part of your brain that directs all of your forward action movements is the part of your brain that comes up with all the solutions and ideas of how to achieve your goals instead of why you can't. When the fear trigger happens in your brain, you actually stop doing what you can be and should be doing to achieve your goals. So here's my question for you. What, what are your fears? Whatever your fears are costing you, what are they costing you in the amount of income that you can make? What are they costing you in your self worth and self esteem? Knowing that you're capable of achieving more, but you're not. You're procrastinating. You're allowing your fears, whether you know it or not, to hold you back. You're allowing something that's happening between your two years in your brain to control what you do or don't do. Now, the reason I researched this and the reason we have so many amazing scientists working with us is to help people like you and me, my friends and my family discover the best ways to a recognize the fears that are holding us back. Learning how to reframe them in our minds so that we can take action and move forward and actually break through to our next level of success. We then want to know, how do we release the fear, the grip that fear has on every human being? And then how do you retrain your brain so that fear is no longer holding you back? All the work that I do and my team is around helping people understand the inner limitations, the inner blockages that holds them back. Fear is one of the most dangerous things to have hold you back. Why? Because for the most part, it's the silent part of you that you're unaware of. It happens beneath your level of awareness. If you're now ready to a learn about the fears that you have and how to get rid of them, or discover the underlying fears that may be holding you back that you're not even aware of because of something that happened in childhood or even in adulthood, join us for Money Squared, the Neuroscience of Financial Success and we will show you exactly how to recognize, reframe, release and retrain your brain better, faster and easier than ever before. So you remove once and for all the mental blockages. And what I want you to do is imagine for a minute you doing what you can be and should be doing. Imagine you living the lifestyle of your dream. Imagine a new you with a way to release your fears, let them go, get them out of your way so you could be the best you possible for yourself, your family, for the universe, for the earth that we live in.
