The True Potential Podcast

Do you ever feel gratitude for what you did in the past so you can enjoy the benefits now? I certainly do.  I just bought a house with a sea view which was made possible because I decided to create a business. It was not easy to start this new business as I needed to step outside of my comfort zone and step into a newer version of me. Today I'm grateful to myself from 10 years ago for doing that.  I'm also collecting the courage to do the same thing today. I don't always feel this optimistic.  In this podcast discover how you can make sure to feel gratitude for yourself and your life now as well as in the future.

Do you manage your feelings or do they manage you? Feelings are powerful. They can make or break your day. Feelings are the first clue about what’s going on with us.

Do you ever wonder when it's the right time to start your business? Or which business is right for you?   Many of you have thought about starting a business but are waiting for the right moment.   Until you’re “ready’.   Until you have THE best idea.   Until you know exactly HOW to do it.   But here’s the thing.   You need to start before you think you’re ready.   You need to just take the first step.   In this week’s podcast I share with you why that’s so important.   I will also share how I did that exact same thing and how I started.    And how it helped me build multiple businesses and make good money. This strategy also prevented me from staying with the wrong business which is just as important. Are you ready?  Check the show notes at https://sylviavandelogt.com/whentostartabusiness

I teach a simple framework for confidence and business success, which is summarized by the word ABLE. (Find out more about this in my podcast on how to get successful in business and life.) It stands for: Awarenes Belief Lots of action Evaluation Today I want to dive a little deeper into the first step, the A: awareness. Awareness actually stands for 2 important things you need to do as your first step You need to become aware of your thoughts on a daily basis as they create your results. This is the key to getting the results you want. (find out more in this episode why you don’t yet have what you want). But it also stands for awareness of the reason you’re in business in the first place. You want to know your big why That is important, because creating a successful business can be tough. It’s challenging as your brain will keep telling you that you can’t do it: That it’s too hard. That you’re too tired to do this difficult task today and that you need a rest. That others are doing something similar to you and that your work is not needed. It’s in those moments that your Big Why will pull you through. Show notes at https://sylviavandelogt.com/why

What does success mean to you? Do you feel you are successful? I believe I am. And that's because I choose to feel successful. I can find lots of evidence for it. Success is a choice. That doesn't mean I don't see plenty of evidence of why I'm NOT successful. I see that too.​​ But these are simply the results I haven't achieved yet. And even though I'm successful I still want to go after those results as well and go after them. In this week's episode discover how to be successful. You''ll also discover a 4 steps framework on how you can get the results you want in your life. https://sylviavandelogt.com/success

One of the most important skills you can learn is self confidence. It's a bit different from confidence. According to Wikipedia: Confidence is a feeling of self-assurance arising from an appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities I couldn't find the definition of self confidence on Wikipedia which assumes that they believe it's the same thing as confidence. However, I believe it's something different. It's a definition I learned from one of my mentors: Brooke Castillo. Self-confidence is being secure in yourself and your abilities. It’s your ability to trust yourself, knowing that you can experience any emotion (including humiliation or failure) without being harmed. In this podcast you'll learn how to build supreme self confidence. Yes, it's something you practice and learn! What you’ll learn in this podcast The difference between confidence and self confidence Why traditional advice on how to become more confident doesn't work How to practice self confidence The most important question you can ask yourself when you're in the midst of a difficult task and you feel like giving up A simple exercize you can do each day to build your self confidence Check the show notes at https://sylviavandelogt.com/confidence

In today's episode of the True Potential podcast I talk about how you can recognize this feeling of unfulfilment, why you would want to reinvent yourself in the first place and my 3 step process to make it happen and get the results you want.

Do you have any regrets? I think if we’re really honest with ourselves, most of us have some form of regret. And if you’re still thinking about it from time to time, or if you find yourself saying ‘I should have….’ a few too many times, you haven’t fully processed the regret yet. Or taken action upon it. Sometimes regret can be the perfect teacher. It can inform us what our next goal should be. It can remind us that it’s worth pursuing our new goal when things get tough. That’s what this podcast is all about. I’ll be sharing stories of some of my regrets and how I’m currently using these feelings of regret to go after something.

Why is believing new things so important? As we've already discovered in previous episodes, how you feel depends on what you think. What you think repeatedly becomes a belief. You need to believe in a thought that puts you in a state of mind, a feeling, that lets you take the actions you need to do to achieve your desired goal. I'll be discussing 4 stages of belief that you'll go through and how to tackle the most challenging one: stage 2 You'll learn: How to believe new things The 4 stages of belief Why stage 2 can be challenging but so worth it!

If you've listened to my podcast on why we don't yet have what we want, you will have learned that we want most things because of the way they make us feel. Most of the time you do the things you do in life because of the way you want to feel. You want to feel happy, or accomplished or excited. On the other hand often we don't achieve the things we want, because achieving it and doing the actions that are necessary to achieve it, just feels too awful. When we start feeling awful, we may do external things to make us feel better like buying a new dress or buffer with food or alcohol. How great would it be if we could manage our feelings so we can feel better more of the time AND not let the bad feelings get in the way of our dreams. That's what I discuss in this podcast. I talk about how to manage your feelings and how you can learn to feel better. This is what you'll learn: External things that make you feel better How to feel better from the inside out? What determines how we feel? How can we take control over our feelings? How to pursue a goal from a feeling of abundance? How to tap into the feeling you want to create ahead of time.
