ExcerptPlaying the Inner Game to WinTom has worked at his company for more than four years and knows he does a great job. His boss even tells him so. He’s been wanting to ask for a raise for several months, but it just never seems like the right time to ask. At least, that’s what he keeps telling himself.... You can try harder to change by taking more action in the “outside,” physical world. But if you’re powered by limiting beliefs and negative feelings, chances are you’re just going to go faster in the wrong direction. So how do you effect real change, change that starts from within? The first step is to identify just what is holding you back. Some common internal roadblocks are: • Fear. Probably the most popular culprit, the list of fears is endless. Whatever your fears, they prevent you in some way from experiencing your full potential. • Thinking small. If you expect less, you get less. You have to think big and believe you can have success before you will actually experience it.
