In this throwback episode, Monica returns to one of the most powerful tools every entrepreneur possesses: their mindset. With stories, personal insights, and a real-world example of someone stuck in a job they hate, Monica challenges listeners to examine the thoughts shaping their actions—or lack of action. She reveals how your upbringing, environment, relationships, and self-talk silently influence your path to success. This episode isn’t about surface motivation—it’s a real conversation on how growth starts within. Want to change your life or business? Then it might be time to change you first.
