ONE Question: Unapologetic Questions for Unapologetic Results

209. ONE Question to Unhook from the Pressure to Be Increasingly Impressive


Listen Later

I just celebrated my ten year business birthday and anniversary (and am still processing the milestone!).

As a multi-six-figure business owner with an 80% profit margin, this puts me in a small % of businesses, and even smaller when we look at women-owned and led businesses and longevity.

This level of financial security and freedom isn't something I take for granted, and earlier this year I found myself reflecting to my own coach that even if my business never makes another dollar beyond what it already does, I'm content and have more than enough.

And yet… last month, I caught myself in a familiar pattern that sounds like, "This isn't enough, yet."

That's why in this week's episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question to unhook from the pressure to be increasingly impressive in order to sustain bigger results. We're diving into how high-achieving business owners weaponize their own ambition and drive against themselves, and how to shift out of this form of self-sabotage to scale more sustainably (and actually enjoy your business, too).

In this episode, you'll hear:
  • The high-achiever trap that disguises itself as growth, discipline, or "just wanting more", what this is actually about, and how this limits success.

  • The role pressure plays in decision-making, creativity, and long-term business sustainability.

  • Why chasing bigger and better results can block receiving what you actually want (even when things are objectively working).

  • The counterintuitive shift that supports steadier revenue, grounded confidence, and leadership without constant self-monitoring or proving.
