In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant and unapologetically real Moe Choice, who shares his raw entrepreneurial journey: building (and burning down) 12 businesses, rebuilding from scratch out of his mother's spare bedroom, and ultimately creating a powerful, scalable framework that helps solo entrepreneurs earn $15K+ months using LinkedIn alone. This isn't a fluffy highlight reel. It's an honest look at discipline, persistence, self-trust, and what it truly takes to build a business that works—on your terms.

In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, entrepreneur and author Daniel Baarns—founder of Baarns Detailing—shares the mindset behind his book Just Start and why action beats perfection every time. Daniel wrote Just Start to challenge the fear, overthinking, and perfectionism that keep so many people from ever taking the first step. Drawing from his experience building a mobile detailing business, he explains how momentum is created through action—and how clarity comes after you begin, not before. This conversation explores the heart of the entrepreneurial revolution happening at the local level and how the Backyard Advantage—community, enthusiasm, and relationship building—plays a critical role in personal branding, leadership, and long-term success. Topics include: • Lessons from Daniel's book Just Start • Overcoming perfectionism and fear • Building a business before everything feels “ready” • Creating a meaningful personal mission statement • The role of community building and relationships • Insights connected to the Sacramento Entrepreneurship Academy • How action fuels momentum in venture capital and angel investing If you're stuck waiting for the perfect moment, this episode is your reminder that progress comes from movement. The most important step is to just start.

Join me for the first part of my special 3-part series where I pull back the curtain on the tears, hard conversations, and unexpected lessons that made 2025 such a transformative year. Today, we dive into four tactical insights on knowing your true value, finding crystal-clear messaging, and a game-changing strategy for launching any new offer. You definitely don't want to miss the shocking story of the $150 video that's been viewed millions of times, proving why you might be severely undervaluing your own genius! What You Will Learn in This Episode: Discover why the thing you find easiest might be the very thing you are severely undervaluing in the market. You'll hear the hilarious, real-life story of how one simple video earned me just $150 but has been used countless times by a major company, forcing me to rethink my true worth. Uncover the emotional journey all content creators face—from Imposter Syndrome to the "cringey stage"—and why mastering your own message is "King" before you even think about outsourcing your content. Find out the smart way to test your big idea (like writing a book or creating a new offer) and how you can prime your audience for a successful launch before you've even finished the product. Learn the single most powerful strategy I used to sell out my first in-person event, and why taking a simple step before you launch anything will eliminate your anxiety and boost your confidence.   Don't forget to look out for the next two parts of this series where I'll dive into more internal, uncomfortable, but incredibly valuable lessons I learned this year!

I almost didn't start this podcast. I postponed it twice in 2020 because I was terrified no one would listen. Or worse, that they'd listen and hate it. But since then, that scary decision has led to over 1 million downloads, four podcasts, and over 8 million in online sales.In this episode, I'm sitting in a podcast studio in LA after interviewing one of the biggest names in online marketing, and I'm thinking about how none of this would exist if I hadn't been willing to suck at something first. I'm also announcing that I changed the podcast name twice in 2023 because I've realized something crucial: we can't win without failing first.This is about why being afraid to be a beginner again is the biggest barrier to your next level of success. If you've been holding back on something because you're "too established" to start from scratch, this one's for you.

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!Imposter syndrome often affects the most high achieving people yet it can still feel so true that you're “not good enough” and “conning” other people into believing you're better than you are. In this episode, I discuss a paradox that I see a lot in academics experiencing imposter syndrome - the tendency to simultaneously believe that you are an imposter AND hold yourself to higher standards than you hold other people. I'll discuss the five past experiences that may influence why you have these paradoxical beliefs and why recognising this can be the first step to overcoming some of these imposterish thoughts. If you liked this episode, you should check out my episode on how to overcome imposter syndrome.****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

In this episode, we sit down with Canadian ballplayer Evan Symons to trace an unconventional and inspiring baseball journey, from little league in East Vancouver to becoming an overseas MVP. Evan shares how walking on at the University of Ottawa (Canada), helping transform its club program, and embracing leadership roles off the field prepared him for life abroad with BBJO. He reflects on his first overseas contract in the Austrian second division, a breakout season in his second season overseas, and the powerful community impact of coaching youth players. Evan also dives into his memorable performances with the Globetrotters at Finkstonball and the Milan tournament, being served dugout snacks by World Series winner Jeremy Guthrie, and overcoming long-standing “imposter syndrome.” It's a story of resilience, open-mindedness, and how playing overseas can completely change a player's confidence and their life.

Two of the supplement industry’s rising content creators join the PricePlow Podcast for Episode #195, recorded live from NNB Nutrition’s massive booth at SupplySide Global 2025. Lucas Kaelin (@WhatsUpWithLucas) and Konlan James (KJ from V1 Nutra) sit down with Mike and Ben to discuss the realities of building an audience in the supplement space, from navigating criticism to battling imposter syndrome. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into the regulatory gray area surrounding supplement pouches, exploring why the FDA needs to provide clarification before the industry gets blindsided. As content creators who ask tough questions, Lucas and KJ offer candid perspectives on what it means to be “chronically online” while building legitimate businesses. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in the future of supplement content creation and the challenges facing the next generation of industry voices. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/konlan-james-lucas-kaelin-195 Video: Lucas Kaelin & Konlan James Talk Content Creation at SupplySide Global https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnmN1Pxk4lY Detailed Show Notes: Content Creator Challenges with Lucas Kaelin & KJ (0:00) – Introductions and SupplySide Experience (1:30) – Getting Recognized at Industry Events (4:15) – Product Development Timelines (5:15) – The Pouch Regulatory Gray Area (7:00) – Pouches: The FDA Compliance Concern (9:15) – Unknown Ingredients and Safety Concerns (11:45) – Unknown Absorption Rates (13:45) – Call for FDA Clarification on Non-Nicotine Pouches (16:15) – Asking the Hard Questions (18:00) – Social Media Criticism and Body Image (19:45) – The Deep Dive Credibility Challenge (21:00) – Ben’s Viral TikTok Story (22:45) – The Venom Symbiote of Viral Content (23:30) – Low Quality Wins on TikTok (24:45) – When Does This End?

In this episode, Cindy Esliger discusses the pattern of catastrophizing that keeps us stuck in inaction and blocks career opportunities before we even give ourselves a chance to succeed. Catastrophizing - the anxious thought patterns that only allow us to imagine the worst-case outcome of any situation - is an exhausting form of self-sabotage that is keeping us stuck in place. But it can be disrupted, and Cindy breaks down how to identify when we're engaging in catastrophizing, and how we can learn to challenge those thoughts before they drag us down.    What does catastrophizing look like? Cindy identifies the five most common cognitive distortions that feed our spiraling: 1. Catastrophizing, 2. Magnification, 3. All or nothing thinking, 4. Overgeneralization, and 5. Blaming. These distortions keep us locked in a loop of stress and stalled momentum. How do we know if we're falling into these patterns? Cindy offers five red flags to watch for: 1. Avoiding new opportunities, 2. Overpreparing or aiming for perfection, 3. Reacting emotionally to changes, 4. Looping negative thoughts, and 5. Discounting our wins. Catastrophizing is anticipating the worst that could happen without ever considering a neutral or even positive outcome. We need to learn to break the cycle. Cindy suggests practical strategies like a thought audit, reframing the situation, experimenting with action, and tracking our growth. Negative thought patterns don't make us weak; they make us human. But they are survival strategies that have overstayed their welcome. We may not consciously choose to spiral, but we can consciously choose to overcome catastrophizing with Cindy's guidance.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Dismantling the Disaster MindsetAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Perfection sneaks into medical training so quietly that you may not notice the weight of it—until you are already carrying too much. Austen and Sanila are joined by classmate, Jade Kho, for a conversation about imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the moments that made them question whether they were "good enough" for medicine.

Send us a textIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the one quality that drives every successful treatment plan, patient outcome, and practice: your own confidence. From my personal experience recovering from ACL surgery to the clinical win of a Harmonize graduate who leaned into certainty, I discuss how your belief in your work directly shapes how patients respond. We look at how imposter syndrome and vague language like “let's see how it goes” can undermine your authority, and why confident, clear communication, whether you're prescribing or referring out, is one of your most powerful clinical tools. If you're still not fully sold on yourself or what you offer, this episode will help you understand why that matters more than any strategy or script.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and schedule a Breakthrough Call.

The Carolina Panthers are 7-6. They just beat the Rams. They are one game behind Tampa Bay for the NFC South lead. So why does it still feel like we are waiting for the other shoe to drop?In this week's Panthers Mailbag, we are skipping the contract talk and the owner drama to focus strictly on the football.

Summary In this episode, we break the spell of the “lone wolf” identity — the myth that high performers must grind alone, stay stoic, and win through self-sacrifice. We explore why this model silently burns people out, why it's collapsing as a leadership archetype, and what replaces it: inner partnership, genuine support, and a way of working that restores energy instead of draining it.What We Cover – How the lone-wolf philosophy sneaks into high-stakes careers – The quiet suffering that looks like competence from the outside – Why burnout isn't weakness — it's a loyalty problem (too loyal to the wrong rules) – The emotional toll of being “the one who always holds it together” – The cultural lie that self-reliance is noble – How isolation becomes self-attack – The moment a leader realises they're exhausted because they've been the strong one – What replacing the lone-wolf identity actually looks like – How inner solidarity becomes fuel, power, and clarity – Practical questions to shift from isolation to supportKey Takeaway Burnout thrives where connection dies. The lone wolf doesn't fall because he's weak — he falls because he's alone. Real strength comes from restoring partnership: with yourself, with others, and with the life you actually want to lead.Try This – Ask yourself: “Where am I still trying to do everything alone?” (Ask Dex AI to help you solve it) – Identify one area where support is overdue. – Let one person in. – Notice how your system settles when you stop carrying everything solo.Send us a text----------------------------------- Resources:Start 1-on-1 coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comLead Better with Dex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.

In this episode of the Mad Rush podcast, Trisha Addicks, the original sorority rush consultant, converses with Josie Stoffan, a junior at the University of Michigan and a college influencer. Josie opens up about the confidence required to be an influencer, especially in a college environment where everyone knows each other.

Today, we are excited to welcome Beth Lawrence as our guest. Over the past 20 years, Beth has seen the highs and lows of building and growing a business. Join us as she shares her entrepreneurial journey and the lessons she has learned along the way. Beth's Journey  Beth began college aiming to become a writer or professor, but she quickly realized the academic path was not for her, and pivoted. When she discovered event planning, it clicked instantly. She graduated during the 2008–2009 recession and built her career step by step, seizing each available stable opportunity, from property management to luxury catering, restaurants, startups, and volunteer roles. She created her own non-linear education, intentionally collecting skills from every job she did, no matter how small. That combination of creative, logistical, operational, and strategic strengths now defines her.   Grit and Curiosity Beth treated every role as an opportunity to learn and grow. Administrative jobs, car dealerships, part-time shifts, internships, event operations, and volunteer work all became training grounds. That mindset, coupled with an overachieving work ethic, shaped her as a multidimensional strategist rather than a single-lane planner. Discovering Her Entrepreneurial Drive Beth always felt pulled toward entrepreneurship. After years of gaining experience across various organizations, she found a startup role that excited her. When she was unexpectedly laid off, her husband's encouragement motivated her to launch her own business. Her family and friends supported her decision, recognizing her determination and her ability to succeed. Uncertainty and Early Mistakes Beth acknowledges the uncertainty of entrepreneurship and explains how companies often use that as a lever to keep employees in place. She made plenty of mistakes in her early years but reframes them as essential lessons, embracing the mindset that every failure provides data and every misstep informs the next decision. She still relies on her career mementos file, which contains cards, testimonials, and small wins, to recalibrate during moments of self-doubt. Imposter Syndrome and Growth Even though imposter syndrome still surfaces at unexpected moments, she has overcome much of it by recognizing that rooms full of accomplished people include her for the unique value she brings. Her Niche: Event Logistics and Stakeholder Experience Beth specializes in strategy-driven events for nonprofits, associations, and foundations. Her work spans the entire United States and extends into Canada. She builds long-term partnerships, guiding organizations from pre-event strategy to post-event analysis and year-over-year improvement. Her philosophy is that events must both inspire and deliver measurable results because inspiration without outcomes means the event did not achieve its purpose. How She Advises Clients and Protects Their Vision Beth enjoys creative ideation but also brings realism to her work. She helps clients distinguish between dreams and feasibility and is not afraid to say when plans, timelines, resources, or goals do not align well. Her guidance prevents budget issues, poor attendance, sponsor shortages, and rushed events that fail to achieve their intended impact. She sees her role as equal parts strategist, realist, and protector of long-term outcomes.

Ian Lara describes the real, uneven path of a touring comic: some cities sell out, others are thin, and that's normal. He emphasizes controlling what you can like stage craft, content output, and gratitude all while resisting comparison spirals from social media. He breaksdown his storytelling style with every line being a joke. Online, he favors clipping strong material over chasing crowd-work virality and insists stand-up must remain the priority even if podcasting takes off.More info about Ian Here: https://www.ianlaralive.com/Join our Patreon: http://patreon.com/hotbreathpodWhat you'll learnThe “sold-out then 12 people” reality of touring in the clip eraWriting punchy stories (a laugh nearly every line)Crowd work vs. material: when it helps—and when it cheatsThe New York grind: 5–7 nights, 2–5 sets… and finding your way+MOREJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/hotbreathpod?sub_confirmation=1Check out our classes and workshops here: https://hotbreathmedia.com

Imposter Syndrome: That Lying B*tch in Your Head Let's get real—imposter syndrome is that sneaky, relentless voice that tells you you're not good enough, smart enough, talented enough... even when the receipts say otherwise. You could have a degree, a promotion, applause, or a goddamn crown on your head—and still feel like a fraud just waiting to be exposed. In this episode, we're naming and shaming imposter syndrome. I'll break down what it actually is (hint: it's not just “self-doubt”), how it shows up (spoiler: perfectionism, procrastination, and overworking are all part of its shady crew), and what the hell you can do to shut it the fuck up. I'm not here to coddle your inner critic—I'm here to help you fire that asshole and take your fucking power back. So if you're tired of second-guessing yourself, downplaying your brilliance, or feeling like you're winging life on a tightrope made of anxiety—this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode of the Best D Life podcast, I interview self-concept coach Lani Buess about the power of identity work in personal development. Lani shares her journey overcoming social anxiety and explains how shifting self-beliefs -rather than just behaviors -leads to lasting change. We discuss overcoming imposter syndrome, building authentic confidence, and balancing internal and external validation. Lani offers practical insights and resources, and encourages listeners to reflect on their values and embrace support, reinforcing the podcast's mission of empowerment and connection.Lani Buess is a Self-Concept Coach and owns Uplevel with Lani. She works in the area of identity, or the beliefs and ideas we have about ourselves. Lots of people work in the area of behaviors - quitting smoking, losing weight, etc - but changing behavior doesn't necessarily change the way you think about yourself. She felt this was a missing gap in the personal development industry that she wanted to address. Today, she works with high-achieving executives, entrepreneurs, and sales leaders to close the identity gaps that quietly undermine decision-making, stall growth, and cost millions. This isn't therapy. It's not mindset coaching. It's identity architecture, the work that transforms hesitation into decisive leadership in the moments that define careers and shape markets. Her clients don't just perform better under pressure. They accelerate decision-making, shorten sales cycles, close bigger deals, land promotions, lead major transitions, surpass financial glass ceilings, and step into the kind of strategic influence that drives growth. That's the difference between chance outcomes and engineered success.Connect with Lani!

The Dental A-Team often hears from team members who feel like they're not good enough. In this episode, Kiera shares with listeners how to switch from harmful self sabotage and comparison to a healthy awareness of growth and positivity. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today I want to dive into something that I think is really important. I feel, hear this from a lot of people. I've coached a lot of dentists. I've worked with a lot of team members. And so I feel like I've got a pretty good background on how to talk about this. And I think just as human nature, and I'm not saying that all of us are there, but   Every dentist, every office manager, every team member I talk to, no matter how successful or how terrible they're doing, they say, I'm not doing well. I'm not doing enough. Like I'm not doing good enough. And I just wanna like dig into this a little bit today because I think it's a lie that we all believe to some level. We feel this imposter syndrome. We feel this... ⁓   I don't know. It's just this weirdness that I want to help you rewire that story and to maybe give a different perspective on that, because the reality is you're doing better than you think you are. And I want to reset and reframe that internal dialogue because I believe being your own best cheerleader or your own worst critic, both of them have pros and cons. And I think like there's so much icky in the world that why don't we start to become your best cheerleader? I truly do believe the quote that ⁓ Tony Robbins says like where   where focus goes energy flow. So if we're focused on not being good enough or why am I not good enough or I don't know how to do this. Well, yes, there's a line of humility that I appreciate. There's also a line of self sabotage that I think we need to start to cut that script and become even stronger. really, Dental A Team's mission is to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible and to help you build thriving practices, thriving leaders, not just surviving, not just hoping and like skirting along. Dentists always want to know how they're doing compared to other dentists.   And so really just giving you kind of that baseline to help you out. ⁓ This is the emotional side of leadership. This is the self-worth, the confidence that rewiring the not enough trap that I wanna just like dig into. And it's just more of a conversation and hopefully bringing some insights and some highlights to help you stop that narrative to really highlight the growth that you can have and just to give you some better. I don't know, just a hug. You're doing so good out there. And I think like as a proud mom of you.   ⁓ Just reminding you of how good you are doing, not better than you are, not worse than you are, but realistically where you are. And I think so many of us accidentally self-sabotage the goodness that we have rather than celebrating how great we're doing. ⁓ And again, momentum builds. So let's build momentum of positivity rather than momentum of negativity. So ⁓ I think the first thing that I like to look at is like, what is the root belief that causes you to have it? So like these thoughts are coming from somewhere. So is it past experiences? Is it comparisonism? Is it perfectionism?   ⁓ I went to a Tony Robbins conference. I do love Tony so much. I have a great time there. I don't think everything's perfect, but I think a lot of great things are, are good in it. And I went to, my favorite thing is date with destiny. And I went to it last year and, ⁓ Tony always has this talk about our towards values and our way values. And, he says, why is it that we try it? We do so good in life, making it hard to feel good and easy to feel bad. And I think about this a lot. And so last year, my word was comparison and.   He actually has you go on this whole rant. So if you can imagine, I feel I present in such a different way than how I was at that conference. ⁓ The beast was unleashed, we'll put it that way. One of my dear friends was with me and they said that they've never seen Kiera like 4.0 version come out. And what Tony has you do is you actually go through, cause comparison was actually one of the biggest things that was holding me back in life. I was comparing to all these other women about my body, about my looks, about my business, about everything.   I realized that my self-sabotaging was from a deep-rooted piece and like prior to that, ⁓ was fear that I let go of. was fear of all these things. And what Tony has you do is you go on this monologue, this rant to basically just see how much of life you've lost by having this. So I went into comparison and I said like, Kiera Dent, see, hear, feel, and know that I will never, ever succumb.   to the limiting and self-sabotaging and ludicrous lie of comparison. And then you go on a rant. And luckily Eminem, I do have a side nickname of DJ Skittlez. Yep, I wanted to be a rapper with Eminem. So I figured Skittlez with a Z was gonna be my rapper DJ name. So if you ever come voting with me, DJ Skittlez does come out voting to make your perfect playlist.   But Eminem was on and it was such a good thing for me. And I remember just unleashing the beast of this comparison and you yell and you scream and you just like, you know, like, and the goal is that you, you look at your life from this lens of how much has this self sabotaging piece taken from you. And when I looked at it, like I wasn't participating fully with my family. wasn't working out at the gym because I didn't want to be compared to other women. I wasn't, ⁓   being as bold in business because I was comparing myself to what other people did and just how much of life was being sucked away from me. And so with that, if that's something like for you to just look to see where is it and what's maybe the one or two ⁓ values that you're holding onto that make you feel bad, that I would encourage to be a way value, not something we want to go towards. So for me, I have on comparison and like comparison only shows up for me when I forget that I am like just, ⁓   For me, like what I will say, I do believe in God, that I am God's greatest creation. when I, so now what I've done is I've taken comparison and I flipped it. So like, if I ever start comparison, it's only due to me forgetting that I'm God's greatest creation. And that quickly for me eliminates that. And so, and it's like fear only if I forget that I have like magic and brilliance that spews from me.   So what the goal is, is you take that root belief and you flip it and you figure out what it is. And then what is something like, it's only if I were to forget that I am like brilliant and have like unlimited potential within me. So like for fear or comparison or perfectionism or whatever it is. And so what is that? Where did that story begin? And maybe you don't know. ⁓ And maybe go through a rant if you want, or maybe just write a new definition and make it harder to feel that. So for me,   It's actually pretty hard for me now to feel comparison. Like I can go back to that, like Kiera 4.0, if you were to call my friend Pierce, he's been on the podcast, he will tell you Kiera 4.0 came out on that comparison rant to where I feel like I literally was able to obliterate it to where it's not there. And for you looking at why am I not good enough, maybe if we can find one or two of your route towards values and away values, what are those away values? And could we...   Could we acknowledge it? Could we see why it's there? And could we maybe decide to put that to rest for a little while? ⁓ And I think when I do this exercise and I write out what success means, it's crazy how many weird rules I have to put in to be successful. And maybe even for yourself, writing out like today what you feel you have to do to be successful. Oftentimes this is why we feel like we're not enough is because we've made this laundry list where it's impossible for any person.   ourselves or someone else to ever hit that level. ⁓ I talked to a friend once and she was like, yeah, for me to be successful, I have to have, I think she told me like 10 million in her bank account, which she was not even close to that. She had to have her body size be X. She had to drive a certain car. She had to live in this. And it was like, wow, well, no wonder we feel this. That's the root belief. It's so hard for us to even feel successful versus I feel successful anytime I make a patient happy.   What you do on that is we're not changing the rules of the game, but we are making it easier to feel good and harder to feel bad. So the only time I'm ever going to feel comparison is when I forget that I'm God's greatest creation. Well, yeah, like I'm not going to forget that. Like I really do think that. And not to say that I'm better than anybody else. I just truly do believe that all of us in our own way are truly God or the universe or whatever's greatest creation. I, gosh, like I feel emotional about that. I really do just believe that that's who you are.   I believe that human souls are that way. I believe that. and so it's one of those things like as a proud mom for you, if you want to take that on for a hot minute, go for it if you want to write it. But when doctors can rewrite, when you feel behind or you feel like you're not enough, maybe what enough feels like you could look at it, like list it off, but then maybe make it a bit easier for you to feel enough today. maybe being enough is reminding myself that like just being alive is enough.   Like think about how the magic of being a living soul is. Well, shoot, that is enough. And like, what does enough even mean? What does success even mean? And what's wild about that is this, there's maybe a few pieces to it. So call to action on it. Cause I like to make this tactical, even though it's such a soft skill is one, let's think of where these thoughts came from. So like, what are the top two things that are holding you back?   from feeling like you're enough. Like what are those? Is it comparison? Is it experiences? Is it like maybe someone told you that? I don't know what it is, but like, can you identify what that is? Then can you find an area where you don't feel like you're doing enough or you're not good enough and ask where that belief started and then rewrite how you're going to feel that. So what does enough mean or what does being perfect mean or what does success mean? And can we change the rules of making it harder to feel bad?   and easier to feel good. Now I know this won't be perfect and I know you're gonna like be clunky with me doing this, but really try it, take it on because if we can even change it just a smidge, I feel like that's a win. That's number one. Let's identify the root. Let's change our identity. Let's let it go. Let those pieces go and make it harder to feel bad and easier to feel good. Okay? Then we wanna measure what like honestly matters because sometimes we might be measuring against the wrong measuring stick.   So many people are like, well, I'm not enough or I'm not far enough along. And I'm like, but why? And like, because I have to be like so and so. And I'm like, but do you want their life? I'm not here to say like compare, like, I just want to know what's your life, what's your version of success. And that's where in Dental A Teaem people are like, well, Kiera, what do all your clients have to hit? And I'm like, there is no standard of what you have to hit. You have to be profitable. Yes. And you have to be growing for your own self. I don't care what that looks like, but those are like pretty much the only measurements that we have. There's no set standard. There's none of that because I want you to   truly be measuring against your own yardstick. So ⁓ for this next piece is going to be like, let's measure what success really is for you. ⁓ Maybe it's on value, values, maybe it's on lifestyle, but not on volume. And then I want you to like reflect on your life of what have you done to get closer to that, that goal or that success or being enough. ⁓   where you're focused more on that outcome and the life you're living rather than measuring up against someone else's yardstick. So, and sometimes it's like pilots, right? Like if you were a pilot and you're on a course and you're like, well, shoot, I'm going to end up over in Sweden, but I was really trying to get over to Bora Bora. Well, great. We just were on the wrong path. We're, focusing on the wrong target. And so for you measure what really matters and go for the right target, go for where you ultimately want to end up in life, go for those pieces rather than just like,   I don't know, being on the success metrics that doesn't actually matter for you. When I wrote out success last year, it was like, I have to be making XML, I have to be working this amount. And I was like, Kiera, you know better than this, why do you do this? And I think it's like, I don't know, I don't know where this stems from. I don't know why as a society we're obsessive with not being good enough, no matter how great we do, not.   Not being proud of ourselves, not being our biggest fans. ⁓ And so for that, I really think like step one is find the root. Step two is going to be figure out what success is and rewrite it to where it's easier to achieve it rather than harder to achieve it. And again, I'm not trying to move the goalpost on you. I'm just trying to build the momentum and fuel because the happier people do better in life, the more depressed and the ones who feel worthless and that they're not doing well enough, they don't do as good. So I'm trying to make it easier for you to hit success today and to realize you are successful rather than   having a harder to ever achieve it and making it so impossible you'll never achieve it. And then number three is, rewire this. So kinda like what I did, we're gonna rewire. So ⁓ confidence, certainty, being proud of yourself is a muscle and you have to train it. So every single day I literally write in my journal, things I love about myself or things where I've been successful or things that like whatever it is,   where like I've been proud of myself or whatever it is, but you start to train in an actual way. So like we can replace our negative thoughts with affirmations. We can surround ourselves with people who are great. We can celebrate the the wins. Like every day I have to write down three great things that I did from the day before. Sometimes saying it out loud, sometimes writing it down. But when you start to do this and you start to even shift that into your team where we start to focus on the wins that we've had every single day.   Like we always heard our offices out of like, are the wins you've been having? And it's purposely because I want to build a snowball of momentum rather than a snowball of negativity. It's very easy when we've trained ourselves, like a pencil groove in like old school desks when we used to be in school and we'd have those pencils and we just keep digging deeper and digging deeper. We are now rewiring you to start focusing on how you've been successful. Like for me, like comparison, like it used to be like, my gosh, like every day, like I literally, you guys used to be consumed by comparison.   I would sit here day in and day out and be like, I'm just not that great. I will tell you, and it's been seven months since I did that exercise. I'm not exaggerating. I can count probably on one hand, the number of times I've compared and I catch myself pretty quickly. I'll tell my husband like, gosh, like there was one time and I'm like, business are doing X, Y, Z and like, like, why am I not doing that? And I'm like, because I'm living my own freaking life over here. Like, yeah, I can be doing different things, but   I am so intentional with the life I'm building and I'm so proud of what I've done. And then I just like flip into this, like, Carrie, you're freaking killing it. And like, these are the great things that you've done. I'm like, let's start celebrating the wins. while yes, like comparison serving me nothing, you playing small is serving you nothing. You thinking that you're not good enough is serving you nothing, but you having the confidence in yourself, you reminding yourself of the good things you freaking took a risk to be a business owner. You go in day in, day out, you have led a team. became a dentist.   Those are some pretty big milestones and to be proud of yourself and then to figure out how we can start to do this every single day and to train that muscle. ⁓ I know this sounds fluffy and I know this sounds woo woo and I know this sounds like I'm not doing that. I would just encourage you to try to figure out one, where's the root and what are the one or two things that are really keeping you back. Then two, what's your success ladder and how can we make success more achievable rather than further away?   And then three, can we rewire that and make it to where we are continually writing who we want to become? ⁓ Another great quote by Tony Robbins, I tell you, it just comes to me constantly. He says, are you the creator of your life or the manager of your circumstances? And I think by all these things I've talked about today on the podcast, this is helping you be the creator of your life, not the manager of your circumstances. You're creating the success you want. You're creating the identity that you want. You're creating the person you want to be.   And if it's tricky for you, reach out like I have literally there's a client, Corey. I'll actually say his real name. I know he listens to the podcast periodically. Uh, and I know he's an amazing human and Corey will tell you that I have done these exercises with him and we joke about it, but he and I have such a close relationship. And I'm like, it's because we saw the real raw versions of each other. We created these new pieces. We celebrate the wins together. We don't allow each other to get into these darker holes. We remind each other like   It's accountability buddies on living our best life. And so for you, get the identity right, redefine your success metric, measuring thing, and then retrain your brain and the words you say to where hopefully in six months from now, when we come back to this, you can say, just like I can say, I'm not perfect. And I literally was able to let go of so much of the comparison that used to suffocate me from the joy of life that used to rob me from that.   and to not have it be obsessive. Now there's other obsessive things that will come up, but at least that one I feel is tempered, is tamed, is not there as much and being able to bring that on. So for you, you already are enough. gosh, like if you could look back at who you were when you were 10 and then tell them who you'd be today, I you'd be shocked and so proud of that. If you could think of like a little child, think of yourself that way and like, you're not going to tell that kid like, hey, freaking walk already, like stop crawling.   You'd be so proud of them, of the little milestones. And we celebrate children. And I feel like let's celebrate ourselves as adults. Let's change that if we can. Let's create a different path. Let's create a different model. That way you can thrive. And really, truly leading from the truth that you are enough, not the insecurity of that. I believe that this, like doing this is just as important as systems and strategy. I believe that doing the inner work makes you the   The boss, the leader that your practice, your team and your patients need you to be. And it's not fluff and it's not that. So don't skip this inner work. ⁓ And I'm happy to help you share this with someone that you know, needs to hear that they are enough ⁓ that you're doing better than you think you are. That your success is so freaking amazing. It doesn't matter what other people are doing. We look at other people for examples, if it's what we choose to do, but we're so committed to living our best lives and the best version of ourselves.   ⁓ I only use other people as an example of what's possible, not of a comparison of what I'm not doing. And for you, whatever it is for you, truly, let's help you achieve that. And if I can be a cheerleader in your back corner, if I can be like a little Jiminy cricket on your shoulder, if our team can help you, this really truly is a zone for you to look to see where is it coming from? What can I change? How can I make it easier to feel successful today and that I am enough today? And then reinforcing that with daily habits.   It sounds so silly, but I promise you the fastest, the strongest force in the human nature is the need to stay consistent with who you believe you are, not who you actually are. So let's change that belief. Let's change that identity and help you get the happiness that you deserve. This is something I'm very passionate about, something that I love so much. And I'm so grateful to be able to chat with you guys on the podcast. So reach out if I can help in any way. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on The Dental A Team podcast.
