EP 223
In the dynamic world of entrepreneurship, success often hinges on the unseen, internal battles that business owners face. Vivienne Joy, a seasoned coach and NLP Master, joins us again on the Mindset in Action podcast to discuss one of the most critical aspects of business growth: overcoming mindset blocks.
Many entrepreneurs erroneously attribute their lack of progress to superficial issues. For instance, a common presenting problem might be the struggle to acquire new clients. However, as Viv points out, the real impediments are usually nestled deeper, in one's self-worth or money mindset. Recognising these hidden issues is the first step to transcending them.
One might wonder how to uncover these elusive mindset blocks. According to Viv, our language is a treasure trove of clues. The way we express our reluctance towards certain tasks often signals underlying fears, skill gaps, or perceived lack of value. These insights can guide us to address the true roots of our resistance.
Viv's coaching strategies delve into identifying whether we are in a state of freeze, fight, or flight regarding our business tasks. She suggests a hands-on approach where entrepreneurs sift through their to-do lists, marking tasks that evoke hesitation and dissecting the reasons behind the inertia. Is it fear, a lack of skill, or does the task simply not hold enough perceived value to spur action?
Sharing her personal experience, Viv recounts her own reluctance to blog. It was only after understanding the value of blogging for SEO and positioning through a networking session that she was able to overcome this block. This anecdote underscores the importance of reassessing the value we attribute to tasks we typically avoid.
For business owners, these blocks can manifest in myriad ways, from the reluctance to follow up with clients for fear of appearing desperate, to shying away from networking opportunities. Viv's message is clear: these blocks are created in our minds, and that's precisely where we have the power to dismantle them.
This episode of Mindset & Action doesn't just offer fleeting motivation. It provides you with a practical toolkit to recognise and conquer the internal obstacles that hamper your entrepreneurial journey. It's an invitation to reflect, assess, and act with renewed clarity and determination.
I encourage you to take the initiative: jot down self-talk that includes "shouldn't," "can't," or "don't want to," and scrutinise these thoughts. It's a simple yet profound exercise that can lead to breakthroughs in personal and professional growth. Please feel free to reach out with questions for Viv and we'll cover those anonymously in an upcoming Mini Mindset episode.
