Playbook Radio #160: Belief is the Rate Limiting Factor

Playbook Radio

In today’s episode, I dive deep into **principle number five of the Playbook: belief** — and how it serves as the *rate limiting factor* in your success. Just like in science, where a chemical reaction can only go as fast as its slowest element, your progress toward your goals can only go as far as your belief will let it.

You can have the burning desire. You can set the goal. You can even make the decision to pursue it. But if your belief system is weak or full of doubt, everything slows down—or worse, stalls completely.

I share a powerful story about Yankees legend Derek Jeter and how his belief at the plate—*every time*—was that he’d get a hit. That kind of unwavering confidence didn’t make him perfect, but it made him a Hall of Famer. And if a 30% success rate can build a legacy, what could consistent belief do for your business, your health, your relationships, or your dream?

You’ll also hear about a digital entrepreneur who only succeeded with 4% of his business attempts—but lives a life of freedom because he never stopped swinging. That’s the mindset we need to adopt.

So if you're hesitating, doubting, or feeling like your results aren’t moving fast enough, I challenge you to ask: *What do I really believe is possible for me?* Because belief isn’t just a mindset—it’s a multiplier. Fix your belief, and you’ll speed everything up.
