Hello, my friends, and welcome to another edition of the Digital Business Breakthrough podcast. Today I am so excited to talk about something I feel like everyone goes through, especially consistently, as you continue to grow and grow a business, and have the life you want. You need to learn how to get out of your own way because honestly, you are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way. Right? I will tell you, if you just get out of the way, amazing things will come to you. And so many of us get stuck in this spiral of maybe we care about what other people think. Maybe we are internalizing everything and we are keeping ourselves small. And we do that. Our brain is designed to protect us, right? So it feels uncomfortable when we want to, when we have big dreams, when we have a big vision, heck even if we have a mediocre vision, if it is outside the realm of what our brain feels is comfort.

It starts giving us a whole bunch of mind drama around it. And then we start sabotaging ourselves, or we let our thoughts run the show instead of owning it, stepping up and taking control, and just getting out of the way. So what does that mean? Well, first of all, I think when we're trying to grow, we have a whole bunch of scarcity mindset, right? We always fear the worst. I think that that is normal for anything, maybe you want to invest in your business, invest in a coach and it is a huge investment for you. I know when I first invested in my first mastermind, I did not have income coming in and I invested in an $18,000 a year mastermind. It was $3,000 down and $1500 a month. And that was scary. And I mean, I could have told myself a bunch of stories as to why I shouldn't do that, but I will tell you that was probably one of the single most important things, was getting a coach and having a mastermind.

And, and I know 100% it helped me grow my business to six figures within a year. And it was the best investment. And I remember saying that to myself, but I could have talked myself out of it and I could have stayed small. I could have played small. And I'm not telling you to do things that are super risky for you. I mean, listen, I've lost millions of dollars before. And so I even, whenever I'm making a big decision, I have to like go through the things like, is this fear controlling me? Is this my past thoughts of things? Or like, if I'm thinking about where I want to go, if I'm focusing on where I want to go and who I want to be? Is this decision in alignment? And so there are so many things that keep us playing small, that create barriers for us, that we don't have success.

And one of those things is limiting beliefs in yourself.
