But why would you want to?

It would be like going up a mountain without any water. Sure, you can get to your destination - but how was the journey?

Were you stepping more and more into your power, taking every step in stride, feeling rejuvenated and hydrated? Were you positive you’d make it?

Or were you looking around and anxiously stopping along the way, trying to preserve your energy? Did you feel scarce, anxious, and unsure? Were you constantly questioning your every move and wondering if you were gonna make it?

No, the inner work isn’t a requirement to making money in entrepreneurship. But you’re here for more than just “making money” - this is your life’s work. You want to grow, scale, build an empire.

And while the way you’re trudging up the mountain may be working, it isn’t sustainable.

The way you’re...

The reason why it takes time to get to your next level is NOT because “it just takes time”.

You see your success as a flight of stairs that you’re climbing - it all feels very restricted, rigid, and linear.

But it doesn’t have to be this hard. It doesn’t have to take such a long time.

Every time you uncover another layer of why you feel unworthy, you remove a heavy brick from the wall of your unworthiness. You acknowledge that part of you, validate that part of you, and release - and you give yourself permission to level up.

You decide what you give meaning.

On the playground, I found out a boy in our class liked me. Another schoolmate turned to me and said, “Why would 𝘩𝘦 like 𝘺𝘰𝘶?”

I wondered what it could possibly be. My hair, my face, the clothes I wore? I settled on what made sense to me - the fact that I stuttered.

I decided that this boy wouldn’t like me if he got to know me, because then he’d realize that I stuttered, and that was the worst thing about me.

I carried this story with me everywhere I went. I grew up with this story.

It loomed over me like a dark cloud.

I made every no, every rejection, every side sneer, every negative interaction 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 that I was incapable, unworthy, unintelligent, unlovable - all because I was a person who stuttered.

You’re the same. You have something that you lean towards when you’re not getting your way. You have something that you’ve decided makes you unworthy, incapable, unintelligent,...

When I’ve asked more seasoned entrepreneurs what they wish they focused on more in the beginning of their business, they alllll told me - 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭.

Because, it all comes down to the beliefs you hold about yourself, the world, money, and making money, honey.

And it all comes down to the thoughts you have, how you respond to those thoughts, and then the stories you allow your thoughts to tell you.

When you 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 focus on mindset early on:

you’ll create limitations around what you can & cannot do
your strategy will fall flat because there’s no belief or energy in the execution
you’ll take every rejection personally
you’ll spiral and then disappear, lacking consistency

When you 𝘥𝘰 focus on mindset early on, you’ll:

break through limitations because you know everything can be figured out
rebound from setbacks faster
de-personalize rejection
maintain consistency because you trust yourself & your path

There’s lots of ways you can...

When you don’t feel good enough, smart enough, or competent enough, you rely on other people to show you the way and help make your decisions - like a coach, a mentor, a parent, etc.

And because you’re constantly looking to others for guidance, when it comes time to make a decision for yourself….you freeze up. You feel incapable.

You panic, and then you sit in analysis paralysis, hoping that the perfect decision will just come to you.

You think you’re learning the ropes, but what you’re really learning is not to trust yourself.

Every decision you make sets a path into motion:

Maybe you got a degree that you don’t use now, but you met the love of your life in third year.
Maybe you were in a mastermind where you were disappointed with the content, but you learned what you didn’t want in a coach and it led you to hire the right one next time.
Maybe you bombed a sales call or got rejected a bunch of times, but it led you to self-awareness &...

The actual process of overcoming imposter syndrome may seem slow at first.

Changing your thoughts?
Cultivating safety & trust in your body?

These don’t sound like easy things, do they?

It’s like working out - it doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger.

And the benefits? Once you start to notice them, it’s your motivation to keep going.

They look like:

Not needing to have all the answers to take action. You know that there is always more to learn and that 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, you know enough to help somebody and to make an impact.

  Emotional regulation & self-mastery - this looks like self-awareness out the hoo-ha, and action to match. You process things easier, are less reactive, and sustain habits that help you stay consistent and successful.

Boundaries out the hoo-ha, too. Not just with others, but yourself. You take time doing things you enjoy. You prioritize your...

It’s not a disease, or a life sentence. It’s just a pattern of thoughts that you have continued to think over & over again, because of beliefs that have been misinterpreted from past experiences that you’ve given truth to and continued to perpetuate.

Suuuper chill, right?

But the thing is, you’re 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 with these beliefs.

You truly 𝘥𝘰 believe that because of who you are, where you came from, and what you have to offer, you’re unable to achieve what you want to achieve.

You truly 𝘥𝘰 believe that you’re faking people out and they’re going to find out you’re not as intelligent or capable as you’re making it seem.

And so is imposter syndrome.

It is 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 a dysfunctional thinking pattern. One that is deeply rooted in the beliefs you hold about yourself and the world, buuuuut still 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 a dysfunctional thinking pattern - which means...

So I don't know about you, but I always get my best ideas while driving! 

The other day while driving, I started thinking about being relatable and how I often share my real raw experiences with my audience.

So I never want to use really vague examples.

Whenever I'm talking about something, I use my own life and something that I've experienced and that I'm struggling with.

And even if I'm currently struggling with that, I'll be very open and transparent with my clients because I really believe that it is important and people really need to hear that they're not alone.

And that's because shame is our default setting!  Shame is what we resort to because it was how we were raised.

A lot of this generation was raised on shame.

I think about the time where I went to the grocery store with my family when I was like 8 years old. And I stole like one of those tape gum things.

I took it out of my pocket and showed it to my sister once we got into the...

And it’s total bull shit.

Listen, it’s normal to feel jealous and a little competitive. That “grass is greener” type of stuff is inevitable.

But if the compulsion to compare is so often for you, that it’s getting in the way of running your business - the empathy I have for you won’t last long.

And that’s because you’re letting your ego 𝘸𝘪𝘯.

If you were to really put yourself out there and hear crickets, your ego would be bruised.

If you were to really not give a f*ck what others were doing or what they thought of you, you could be susceptible to their judgement or their rejection.

So it’s easier to compare, it’s easier to focus on what’s 𝘯𝘰𝘵 working for you and what 𝘪𝘴 working for them.

Let’s say you’re a Mindset Coach who uses human design in their business.

If you grew up around people who used human design often and who thought running a coaching business from social media was the norm, you wouldn’t be constantly questioning if they think what you’re doing online is weird.

And that’s because your paradigm, which is defined as a pattern of being or a model, is different than what they’re used to.

And typically, people who aren’t committed to mindset work or personal development aren’t actively changing their paradigm. 

There’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing, it’s just 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 from the paradigm that the people around you have used to. 

When you’re around people who get what you’re doing, whether that’s in person or online, it’s less likely you’ll question if what you’re doing is 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 or 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.
