Oftentimes, thoughts creep in that we don’t realize are affecting us in a negative way. One common example is the myth, “I ought to be able to figure all this out on my own”. Thoughts like that not only place massive amounts of pressure on us, they can hinder us from growth. But the reality is that there is a lot to learn. We are all expanding our knowledge, our skill sets, our mindsets. Allow yourself to embrace that process and learn from everyone you can.

It’s ideas like that one that birthed this episode. I was reflecting on how I regularly hear thoughts from my clients that are poisonous. As our brains are trying to keep us safe, tricky thoughts can sneak in and cause chaos. So if you’ve had some of these, rest assured you are not alone. They are very common. Let’s isolate and deal with some of them -- then move forward and make a difference in our businesses. 

• Remove the power of poisonous thoughts
• • Adjust perspective

• “I should be further along.” 

• • Identify how you feel when you think this
  • The trickiness of frantic action
  • What powerful and focused action looks like
  • Acknowledge and be good with where you are on your journey

• “I’m too late to the game. There are too many already in my niche. I can’t stand out.”

• • Loss of belief in abundance
  • Make room for individuality
  • You be you -- don’t emulate others

• “I don’t know enough. Maybe after I learn more.”

• • Confidence doesn’t automatically come from learning more
  • People care that you can help and that you believe in them
  • Find evidence to the contrary
