Is Your Sense of Entitlement Stopping You From Reaching Your Dreams?
Did you ever stop to think that your sense of entitlement could be standing in the way of reaching your dreams?
What if I told you that you need to INCREASE your sense of entitlement?
Most people equate entitlement with narcissism, or self-importance. In reality, having a sense of entitlement means you have a belief that you’re deserving or have a right to something.
When was entitlement given such a bad rap?
You ARE Entitled!
Entitlement is not a negative thing.
If you want to be successful in business and in life you need to feel inherently deserving of that success. Whatever success means to you, you must make the switch from believing it can happen to knowing it will happen.
It’s not an easy task, but it really is that simple.
Once you know you’re deserving of your goals or dreams, you start to think and behave with an expectation that they’ll happen. All you need is to put in the time and effort required!
You grow from where you know - Gloria Mayfield Banks @GloriaBanks Share on XKnowing you’re entitled is your new baseline.
Turn Entitlement Into Reality
Once we start operating from our new baseline of entitlement, failure is not an option. You must learn the skills and gain the knowledge necessary to reach your goals.
Here are 10 quick tips to turn your entitlement into reality:
1. Encouragement – increase your imagination and make everything possible
2. Use Your Gifts Unapologetically – Stop hiding. It’s time to show the world your true self.
3. Shape Your Thinking – Pay attention to what you say to yourself and what you allow others to say to you. Every word is a flower or a brick on your subconscious.
4. Your Mind Plays Tricks On You – You’ve gotten really good at ignoring certain things in your life, but you can’t change what you won’t acknowledge.
5. Skills – Always bring your best and be willing to learn the rest.
6. What Makes You Tick – Find a way to work toward your dreams every day. Eventually you’ll feel like you’ve stopped working and started winning.
7. Don’t Expect Anyone To Understand – You have no control over what others think about you or your dreams. Your frustrations with them and their reactions are simply misplaced expectations.
8. Track Your Activity – It’s important to know what you’re doing and to understand your sources of energy (such as faith, family/friends, etc).
9. Your History – You can always rewrite your story. Your past is a cancelled cheque, the future is a promissory note, but the present if your only legal tender.
10. Personal Growth – In life you’re either growing or falling behind. There’s no such thing as standing still, so make a conscious effort to take your skills to another level every day.
Are you ready to start building your sense of entitlement?
You deserve to achieve your dreams. It’s time to take control of your life!

Great post. You are entitled to be successful. But…you do have to learn some skills
You’re absolutely right Mark, thanks for sharing that
Love that turn Entitlement into reality.. great post Brue… thanks for sharing this
You’re very welcome Ron, thanks for popping by!
I love all of your tips Bruce! BUT I love this one the most “Use Your Gifts Unapologetically” BECAUSE>>>
I see people apologize for who they are WAY too much! If we would all just embrace who we are…
This world would be a better place. Luckily we are part of a community who is teaching people how to do that 🙂
Great post! Thanks!
You’re so right Erin, that was one of my favourite tips too!
Ooh, I read your title and thought it was going to go a different way!! I’ve especially been learning I can’t expect most others to understand. Great post!
Exactly what I was going for Chondra 🙂 Yes, you definitely can’t expect others to understand your goals and dreams
Yes !!~~ you have a belief that you’re deserving or have a right to something.♥♥☺☺ you so have the right just believe !!~~ thank you Loved this !!~~
Thank you so much Sandra! I’m so glad you enjoyed this post
Show the world your true self…love that! You have to put yourself out there and provide value in the way only you can. Thanks for your tips, Bruce. Great! 🙂
You’re very welcome Theresa, and thanks for sharing that amazing take-away!
“You can’t change what you can’t acknowledge” – that was a WAKEUP call there Bruce. For the longest time wanted to change my health habits, but put it off. Had that happen with me for my health. Now that I’m diagnosed with diabetes it’s time to start managing and moving forward. All a good thing 🙂
Dr. Lisa
You’re so right Dr. Lisa. We all put off those things we don’t want to *really acknowledge, but sooner or later we’ll have to face them
I agree with Erin, we need to embrace that we have talents and skills and stop appologizing is the best advice you can apply.
When I stopped appologizing and started embracing them, my life changed.
Thanks for sharing this!
You’re so right Anna, and I’m glad you made that switch. It’s so powerful!
Awesome post, Bruce! Using your gifts for what you are meant for is going to cause you to grow and help others! Entitlement is earned through your actions being in-line with being worthy to accept the gifts the Universe has for you… But ONLY if you put in the work!
Absolutely Brian. Put in the work and you’re entitled to the result! Thanks for dropping by!
