3 Steps to Calm the Inner Critic


Listen Later

This week, one of my clients came to her session and said she’d had a life-changing breakthrough.

She thought she had a sales problem.

But what she realized was much bigger than that.

She had a self-punishment problem.

She was laboring over every detail of her business.

Constantly consumed by how she was coming across.

Dwelling on her skill gaps.

Fixating on what wasn’t working.

And trying to use self-critique as the thing that would finally make her better.


But that’s not how it works.


Self-punishment does not make you more successful.


It does not make you better at sales.

It does not make your business safer.


It just keeps you exhausted, overworking, and stuck inside the belief that something is wrong with you.


In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact 3 steps my client used to get out of her head and dial down the self-critique that had been running the show for decades.


We talk about:

  • How to stop turning every result into proof that something is wrong with you
  • How to question the negative story your brain is telling about your business
  • How to look at your sales, pipeline, and data with a clearer head
  • How to stop solving imaginary problems in your business
  • And how to build from groundedness instead of fear, shame, or self-critique


And it may hit closer than you expect.


Because you may not have a sales problem.

You may not have a visibility problem.

You may not have a credibility problem.


You may have a self-punishment problem.


And once you can see that clearly, you can stop beating the crap out of yourself and start building from a much cleaner place.


If you’ve been looking for relief in your business, this episode is one you’ll want to bookmark and come back to again.


Because he first step to increasing your sales might not be more strategy.


It might be learning how to stop punishing yourself long enough to actually see what’s working.
