When going after our dreams, we often say, “That’s not something I am willing to do,” or “That’s not my Job!”

This is because both statements alter your mindset and limit your capabilities.
“That’s not something I am willing to do…”
This statement implies that you are not willing to do something that would help you succeed. While setting boundaries is essential, restricting your potential may not always be worth it. By doing so, you may miss out on the opportunity to fulfill your dreams.
To determine if the boundaries you are setting are hindering you, ask yourself a few questions:
Will doing this task hurt me physically or emotionally?
Is this task something that will help the company succeed?
Is this task something I don’t enjoy but am fully capable of doing?
Is this task necessary?
Will this task help the operation or success of this company?
Will this task take us to the next level of success?
What is the actual reason I want to skip this task?
Will this task cross my morals? Is it a task that will harm someone or something?
“That’s not my job!”
This mindset may prevent you from achieving success. If you have always dreamed of getting promoted at work but it hasn’t happened, consider if there is something you refuse to do because it’s “not your job” or if you complain about doing tasks beyond your job title. Going above and beyond expectations is often necessary to get promoted or succeed. People want to see your dedication to making the company successful, whether it’s your own business or a company you work for.
If either of these concepts applies to you, you are choosing not to succeed.
To cultivate success, you will need to change your habits or mindset. You must also be willing to start and do the work that you have done in the past. This will demonstrate your capabilities and show that your dreams are achievable.
You are the limiting factor in your life, not others or the tasks that must be completed.
There are always things we dread doing or are afraid of doing, but overcoming these challenges can show us how strong and capable we are. Removing these obstacles can break the barriers we have set for ourselves, making anything achievable.
Here are the things that can help you get promoted or succeed in achieving your next step in making your dreams come true:
Do the things you know how to do, even if not in your job description, and do them with pride.
Step out of your comfort zone and prove your worth by learning new things that will help the company succeed.
Create a plan to maximize work efficiently and stick to it.
Speak positively about your business and yourself.
Change habits that are holding you back.
Overcome negative mindsets about your business, job, and yourself.
If you’re running your own business, learn how to ask for help to manage it all. Some people will support your dreams and offer help in various ways. Find your community and ask for assistance. Some people love giving helping hands to worthy causes and will support you in ways you may not have anticipated.
Remember, success does not happen overnight.
Take your time and put your best foot forward. You are the only thing holding yourself back from what you want to happen. It’s a hard truth, but you will succeed even further once you come to terms with it.

It’s still okay to change your habits or mindset to cultivate success. You must be willing to start and do the previously declined work. This will demonstrate your capabilities and show that your dreams are achievable.
You are the limiting factor in your life, not others or the tasks that must be completed.
There are always things we dread doing or are afraid of doing, but overcoming these challenges can show us how strong and capable we are. Removing these obstacles can break the barriers we have set for ourselves, making anything achievable.

Both of these statements make a significant impact on achieving success. This is because both statements alter your mindset and limit your capabilities.
“That’s not something I am willing to do…” says that you are unwilling to do the one thing that would help you succeed. Boundaries are good to set, by all means. But capping your potential for taking your dreams to the next level is only sometimes worth the limit you are placing. We often throw away the opportunity we have always dreamed of coming true by doing so!
To know if the boundaries that you are setting are hurting you, I want you to ask yourself a few questions:
1. Will doing this task hurt me physically or emotionally?
2. Is this task something that will help the company succeed?
3. Is this task something I don’t enjoy but am fully capable of doing?
4. Is this task necessary?
5. Will this task help the operation or success of this company?
6. Will this task take us to the next level of success?
7. What is the actual reason I don’t want to complete this task?
8. Will this task cross my morals? Is it a task that will harm someone or something?
“That’s not my Job!” prevents you from achieving success. You have always dreamed of getting promoted at work, but it hasn’t happened. Let me ask: “Can you think of one thing you would not do because it is not your job? Or better yet, you did the work, but you are complaining around the office to whoever has ears that you are doing work not in your job title?” Well, there you go… that is why you are not getting promoted.
Getting promoted or achieving success will always require you to exceed expectations. This is because people love seeing what you will be willing to go through to make the company that you work for successful. This could be your company or just a company that you work for. It does not matter. These affect all Avenues of success; some examples are brand ambassadors, loans from the bank, or even people seeing you advertise what you do through social media.
If either of the concepts applies to you, Then you are choosing not to succeed!
Changing your habits or mindset to a more positive attitude to cultivate success is still okay. You have to choose to do so and start. Do the work that you have declined in the past. This will show people what you are capable of! It will show everyone, including yourself, that your dreams can be managed to come true.
You are the limiting factor in your life, not others or the jobs that must be completed.
There are always things that we dread doing or are afraid of doing. But those items will show us how strong and unique we are. When we remove these obstacles, we limit our bearers for ourselves; anything is achievable!
The takeaway
In conclusion, the things that can help you get promoted or succeed in achieving your next step in making your dreams come true are:
1. Do the things you know what to do that sometimes are not your job with pride!
2. Step out of your comfort zone and prove your worth by learning something new. This will help the company succeed!
3. Make a plan to achieve maximum work promptly and stick to it.
4. Talk positively about your business and yourself.

Suppose you’re running your own business and need to find a way to manage it all… learn how to ask for help. There are plenty of people out there who will support your dreams and love uplifting others in all different ways. Find your community and ask for a helping hand. And recruit them! Some people love giving helping hands to worthy causes! No matter your dream, some people think it’s admirable in one way or another and will help you succeed even further than they can imagine. They will support you in so many ways that you did not even think were possible or that were even on your radar!
Remember, this does not happen overnight! Take your time and put your best foot forward! Life is too short to be holding yourself back from that promotion, that loan, or that following setup in success! You are the only thing holding yourself back from what you want to happen. Not your circumstances, others’ actions, or any other outside effect on your life. It’s a hard truth, but when you come to terms with it. You will succeed even further!
