#21: How I overcame 3 big mindset blocks I didn’t know I had
As business owners we come across mindset blocks that hold us back at every single phase of our business development. It doesn’t matter where we’re at and what we’ve come from, we’re human and the human brain is complicated.
We all have different blocks.
When people are talking about mindset in ways you don’t quite relate to it can be easy not to see your own. Especially if you’ve done a lot of self reflection and personal work to bring out the big emotional stuff.
Well I now see that there’s a mindset block at every level, phase and place along the journey. Some of them are here for a particular reason, others for a season and some of them last a lifetime. That’s how complicated our brains are. They can think us in and out of a myriad of directions.
Add that to the fact that there’s so much information and feedback coming at us all the time, that causes reactions in the form of feelings.
Feelings can cause us to get off track, get stumped and make assumptions. These assumptions can lead to really big mindset blocks. Or they can simply exist for a while as temporary assumption blocks.
Here are the three hidden mindset blocks I carried with me for the last few years:
One - “I don’t have the personality for this kind of business”
Two - The dreaded (insert swear word here) niche
Three - Thinking it will suddenly get easy some day
“Accept the world you’re in”
