Podcast Highlights
- Who is Jim Palmer?
Everybody has limiting beliefs, when Jim was young he was so uncomfortable with public speaking that he would call in sick when his turn came around.
As the boss, no one is going to punish you for not doing what you are afraid of doing, you just won’t have the success you want. You have to personalize your inaction and find your Big Why.
“How is it you think you are entitled to the same level of success, yet you’re not willing to do the things that these people have done to grow their business?”
- Playing Big Versus Playing Small
No one has actually died from embarrassment. Most people discover that the things they are afraid of are actually things that they really enjoy doing.
Trying to be perfect kills momentum. You’re not perfect and it’s okay.
- The Imposter Syndrome
Everybody has a voice that says they may not be worth it, that someone will discover the real you. For the most part we are the same person throughout our lives, success does not fundamentally change who you are.
- The Definition Of A Decision
Highly successful people have the ability to assess a situation, question, or opportunity and quickly make a decision.
If you believe in the value you provide to your customers, you have to push them to make the decision that will benefit them.
- Dealing With Decision Fatigue
Hire and train right, empower your team to make decisions as well.
Don’t be afraid to take some time to refresh. Make the conscious decision to rest.
- Transformational Decisions
If you are going to expect other people to respect your time, you have to respect yourself as well. Know the value of your time and honor the commitments you make to yourself.

- Jim’s Takeaway
Stop playing the mind game called “what if?”. You can’t create a new beginning but starting today, you can create a new ending.
Just say yes.
