#697: Roadblocks and Rewards: How Setbacks Can Actually Grow Your Business


Listen Later

Growing your business is going to be your biggest challenge. Here’s the powerful mindset shift that will get you through!  


Looking back, I wish I had invested just as much, if not more, into understanding how to create a strong entrepreneurial mindset as I did in courses, strategies, and coaching. Yep, you read that right, my friend. Because, believe it or not, when times start to get tough as you build your business (and trust me—they absolutely will), managing your mindset is the thing that will get you through!  

If you're going through a difficult time in your business right now, today's episode is just what you need to hear! I reveal the powerful mindset shift that helped me overcome the toughest challenges in my 15-year entrepreneurial journey. Now, this reframe isn't what you'd usually hear in the online space, but I promise it will be your secret weapon for boosting your resilience and embracing the hustle.

Entrepreneurs with great mindsets who are willing to put in the work to bounce back from setbacks are the ones who will thrive the most in their businesses and in life. You, my friend, deserve to be one of those people! You'll walk away from this episode ready to take the necessary risks of being a business owner, manage the fear that comes with them, and stop that pesky habit of comparing yourself to others. 


Today, I talk about:  

  • (3:23) Understanding that running a business means you have to be willing to take massive risks 
  • (6:03) How to stop comparing yourself to others and recognize the necessary hustle of entrepreneurship 
  • (9:12) Why entrepreneurship is two steps forward, one step back – and advice for effectively managing the setbacks 
  • (11:38) The importance of investing in your mindset just as much as you invest in your business 

  • Listen in, and be sure to share this message with a fellow entrepreneur who could use a boost!
