Do you think you deserve success?
It’s an important question to ask and explore whenever you’re trying to improve your finances and your level of success.
I touched upon this the other day in the “7 Things Successful People Do Differently” blog post.
But I want to get more specific on it with you today, and take you through a simple process for using EFT Tapping to eliminate any hidden blocks you may have.
Remember what I mentioned the other day: successful people believe they deserve success, whereas unsuccessful people do not.
Ok, let’s jump right in…
This will only take a few minutes (but it could have a huge impact on your finances and level of success):
.
In the previous blog post, I asked to you complete two sentences to begin to find what barriers you may have.
Even if you did this already the other day, it’s important to do it again to reconnect you with what came up before.
Go ahead and say these statements out loud (or say them in your head if there are people around you) and then complete the statements for yourself:
I don’t deserve success because…
Say this statement and complete it as many times as you need to until no more answers are coming to mind. Write down everything that comes up.
If, for example, something comes up like “I don’t deserve success because I’m not smart enough,” or “because I’m too lazy,” or “because I don’t matter,” or (and this is a big one for many people) “because I’m not a good enough person,” then you know you have beliefs that need to be dealt with that are holding you back.
And don’t worry if the answers don’t flow for you right away. Sometimes it can take a little more unearthing to find what’s holding you back. 🙂
OK, now complete this statement, saying it out loud a few times:
I deserve success because…
The answers to these two questions can give you some big insights into what beliefs (both positive and negative) you have about becoming more successful.
.
If you’re new to EFT Tapping and you don’t know how to tap or where the points are, watch this video where my sister Jessica, the host of the Annual Tapping World Summit, shows you exactly how to Tap:
First off, let’s make sure to calibrate to see just how true each of the negative statements you wrote down feel to you on the scale of 0 to 10. Read each statement out loud and write how TRUE each statement feels, with 0 feeling not true at all and 10 feelings completely true.
Here are some examples:
I don’t deserve success because:
I’m not smart enough: 6
I procrastinate: 8
I don’t matter: 8
I’m not a good enough person: 10
With the example above, the last one, with the number 10 next to it, would feel the truest and have the biggest emotional charge to it. But we’d still want to tap on each of these. The goal is to get each of them down to a 0, or as close as possible to 0.
We’ll do this with the statement of, “I don’t deserve success because I’m not good enough.”
Starting by Tapping on the Karate Chop Point:
Even though I don’t deserve success because I’m not a good enough person, I love and accept myself anyway. (Repeat this three times)
Now let’s move to the other points. Read each of these as you tap on each of the points:
Eyebrow: I don’t deserve success because of my past.
Side of the Eye: I’ve always felt like I wasn’t enough.
Under Eye: I learned early on that I wasn’t enough.
Under Nose: I won’t ever be worthy of success.
Chin: I’ve always been told I wasn’t good enough.
Collarbone: I’ve never felt like I was good enough.
Under Arm: I’m just not good enough to be successful.
Top of the Head: I just don’t feel like I’m good enough.
Let’s do another round, and if at any time some of the words don’t feel right for you, you just say what does feel right and true for you…
Eyebrow: I grew up feeling like I wasn’t good enough.
Side of the Eye: I’ve had so many experiences that have shown me I’m not good enough.
Under Eye: I’ve failed so many times.
Under Nose: If I was good enough, I would already be successful.
Chin: I’m just not good enough at my core.
Collarbone: I’ll never be good enough.
Under Arm: But I love and accept myself anyway.
Top of the Head: No matter what.
Go ahead and take a deep breath… and then out. Now repeat the statement again: “I don’t deserve success because I’m not a good enough person.”
Has it gone down? Has it gone up? What else came up for you during the Tapping? Did a memory from childhood come up? What emotions came up? Use these things as a guide to help know where to tap next.
Now let’s do some positive Tapping. If you’re not down to a 5 or lower this positive Tapping may feel very untrue to you. If that’s the case, keep Tapping on the negative until you’ve brought it down some more.
Eyebrow: I’m open to the possibility that I do deserve success.
Side of the Eye: Even though I’ve felt like I didn’t deserve success because of my past…
Under Eye: Maybe I can change my beliefs.
Under Nose: Everyone deserves success, and I do too.
Chin: I can allow success in my life.
Collarbone: I deserve success.
Under Arm: I can release my old beliefs, and allow success into my life.
Top of the Head: I deserve success in my life.
Eyebrow: I’m ready for success to flow into my life.
Side of the Eye: I deserve success.
Under Eye: I can allow myself to feel like I’m enough.
Under Nose: I’m a good enough person to feel successful.
Chin: I’m allowing success into my life at this very moment.
Collarbone: I deserve success.
Under Arm: I choose to believe that I am worthy of success.
Top of the Head: I feel so grateful for what I have, and am excited for more success in my life.
Go ahead and take a deep breath in… and then out. Now repeat the statement again: “I don’t deserve success because I’m not a good enough person.”
How true does it feel for you from 0 to 10? Has it gone down? Has it gone up? What else came up for you during the Tapping?
Go through this process for each negative statement you’ve written down. It also helps to do the process several times. Do it today, and then come back tomorrow and do it again and see what comes up after your brain and body have had time to process the Tapping.
I hope you enjoyed the process! 🙂
Until next time…
Keep Tapping!

Hi Nick ,
Thank you I needed that today . Seems like you know when I needed it ??
You’re welcome, Nancy. 🙂
Thank you for your persistence in sending emails. I finally tried tapping and right now I feel so aware of myself, thank you again. I am learning that I am enough through tapping and while it is giving a clearer picture of myself it is also giving me numerous questions as to why I have been so hard on myself. A work in progress but am excited to continue.
You’re very welcome, Ann! That’s great! We do send lots of emails because we know anytime can be the right time for someone to start tapping. Good for you! 🙂
This one was very good for me, I always feel strong and optimistish, I deserve this, thank you
Yes you do, Corry! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Wow thank you so much. I really needed this.
I’m glad it helped. 🙂
Thanks you very much.
You’re welcome, Francillon. 🙂
Nick- thank you so much for introducing the tapping technique to the public. You are truly making a difference in peoples lives! I work a full-time job, a part-time job and have a side business. I’ve been afraid to quit my part-time job and focus more attention on my side business (my inspiration), worried I wouldn’t be able to be successful. The tapping technique has helped me realize where my true fears lie. I now feel much less stress over my situation and just today took a leap of faith & quit my part-time job. Thank you!
Congratulations Cindy! Keep on tapping on those fears and doubts as they come up and see what new ideas and opportunities come your way! 🙂
I am interested in getting the instructions to achieve my due success.
If you haven’t yet followed the steps in the blog post, do that and get specific about what feelings are coming up for you. Wishing you all the best! 🙂
Děkuji Nicku. Teď začínám a baví mě to. Jana
I am happy to hear it Jana. 🙂
Hi Nick
When I do the tapping, I feel a shower of relief and peacefulness over my entire being. In the beginning I found it difficult to speak and tapping simultaneously. So I decided to do the tapping in silence. I focused on getting the tapping right. Then I did the tapping while reading the words I had written down. Shortly after, the words came out from my mouth easily, naturally.
Now I feel and see clearly my long term dreams transforming into prosperity.
Thank you Nick,from the bottom of my heart.
Way to go Ceu! I am so happy to hear how your practice has progressed. 🙂
Thank you Nick. Just what I needed. Really did help and I am grateful for you and Jessica’s work. Thank you.
You’re welcome Linda. xo
I feel a breakthrough coming toward me in a heightened energy and excitement around the idea of allowing more abundance/success into my life, especially financial. My child hood beliefs that stifled me came through loud and clear and are no longer appropriate for the woman I have become. I will keep Tapping. What a relief. Thank you so much… Congrats Nick to you for making a difference in our world to so many people, freeing up their natural gifts for Humanity!
I all way feel a sense of relief after each session,
Thank you, I truly appreciate all that you do for everyone
Wow,what a relief I felt after tapping out this limiting beliefs I had since childhood,i now feel ready to conquer the world and be successful
Thank you Nick and Jessica and the tapping solution – at an intuitive level I know that this is exactly what I desperately need.
I’m going to keep on keeping on. Onwards and Upwards!
Thanks Again
