Finding out if you have any "holding back" beliefs is crucial if you wanna be successful in I-M.
Abso-fricken-lutely. This is a MAJOR key. At one point in my life I was getting really annoyed at how I was unable to manifest any extra money to invest. I could make more money, but I'd always spend it. I was not able to save anything that I could later invest. THen one day I was thinking about what I would do with the money *IF* I had it to invest. For example, would I invest it in a mutual fund or stocks or what? All of a sudden a little light came on and I realized that I had no IDEA what I would invest the money in if I had some, because I always assumed I would figure that out later, once I had the money. Now instead, I focused on studying investment techniques for investing lets say $10k or $100k of money. Shortly after that, once I knew exactly what I would do with the extra money, I was able to manifest it much easier than before.

It turns out my beliefs about investing money once I had it were holding me back. It's like when overweight people can't lose weight becuase they they have a belief that they won't know how to shop for clothes if they become skinny. Maybe they've never been in a "skinny people" store.

Beliefs are are KEY to the process.
