214 – Breaking Through: Overcoming the Self-Defeating Mindsets Holding You Back

Are you struggling with negative self-talk, limiting beliefs, or a fear of failure?

In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast we talk about the mindset blocks that could be stopping you from reaching your full potential as a woman business owner.

I recently asked our HerBusiness community what was holding them back, and I got some really honest and heartfelt responses that have informed this episode.

Listen to hear:

  • How negative self-talk can prevent taking risks in business and generate thoughts of failure.
  • Why starting with small, manageable risks that are unlikely to fail, helps you make progress faster.
  • The true value of celebrating wins, setting achievable goals, and connecting with supportive mentors or coaches who can help you grow.
  • How practising self-compassion and seeking support when needed are also recommended to deal with negative self-talk.
  • The common money mindset that keeps you from making enough offers, not charging enough, staying hidden, and wasting money.

Check out this podcast episode where we discuss how to break through the self-defeating mindset that might be holding you back from growing your successful business.
