#210: How to Overcome Negative Self-Talk Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

Do you need strategies for how to overcome negative self-talk?

Today I've got my dear friend, and successful entrepreneur, Laura Fuentes, back on the show to give you a behind-the-scenes look at our actual friendship—how we help each other grow as people and entrepreneurs.

If you don't have a "business buddy," I recommend you find one.

We talk about how easy it is to fall into self-doubt as an entrepreneur, and how we need to surround ourselves with people who see our "special sauce" and can continue to remind ourselves of it.

We talk about how we (especially as women) discount what we know, how we need to put ourselves out there even even when it's uncomfortable, how we need to sound "salesy" to rise about the noise (the horror!), and how we all feel like we don't measure up, even when we are successful.

The main message of this episode is we all need to figure it out as we go! We need to just get in there and start "making"!

I hope you listen to this episode and realize we all have these self-sabotaging thoughts. But there are way we can still push forward and build the businesses and the lives we want!

Reach out and let me know what you think of this episode and if you'd like more like them. And thanks, Laura, for your honestly and friendship, as always!

Show notes

Are limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome holding you back?

Today, I have business and mindset coach, Maria Conde, on the show.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to have a successful entrepreneur mindset.

This means being willing to be uncomfortable in your business, noticing when "busyness" is just an avoidance strategy, and using affirmations, meditation, and hypnosis to change the way you think.

We also talk about how men and women are different when it comes to mindset, how to understand why different parts of your brain may be in conflict, how to ask for the sale even when you feel undeserving, and how to build a support system around you when starting a new entrepreneurial venture.
