Encouragement for Believing in What’s Possible as a Business Owner

In this short and sweet solo episode of the podcast, I’m sharing candidly about how embracing a mindset of choosing to believe in what’s possible can help us reach our goals. Recently, I hit a big revenue goal in my business – despite not having the “perfect scenario” of everything that I thought I would need in place to achieve it. Let’s chat about learning to let go of the perfectionism, self-doubt, and other mindset blocks that can so often hold us back!

Episode Highlights

Here are the mindset shifts that I offer in this episode. Feel free to take what feels helpful, and leave what doesn’t!

Mindset Block #1: I have to have a huge audience to make money.

• Instead: Focus on building genuine relationships within your smaller community!

Mindset Block #2: I can do x once I have y

• Instead: With the resources you have right now, how can this goal be possible?

#3: I can’t start this new thing because I don’t have it all figured out.

• Instead: Embrace being willing to take the first step and learn as you go!

Mindset Block #4: I have to do it all to be successful.

• Instead: Define what success means to you, then focus on the things that align with your goals and light you up!

Mindset #5: Business is hard and this goal seems impossible, I’ll never reach it.

• Instead: It’s okay to acknowledge that life and business are hard sometimes. But I also think it’s important to speak truth and positivity over what’s possible. Just as you might try to see the best in others, choose to see the best in yourself as a leader and the best in the value that your business has to offer.

Closing Thoughts

Even if you’re business isn’t where you want it to be yet, try to show up now with a brand that showcases what you hope that your business will grow into! This takes practice (even as a brand designer, this is something that I’m still learning how to apply to my own business.).

Therapist Lea Lester (who was on episode 5 of this podcast) once put it like this: Instead of faking it until you make it, act until you are.
