We all have a voice in our heads, a powerful inner critic. Some people call it a conscience, and sometimes it can get in your way.

In the quest to improve yourself, the inner critic needs to be managed. You can't move forward because it's always nagging at your back.

Everyone has a different goal they want to achieve in life, but for some reason, we often get discouraged from reaching our dreams because of the things holding us back.

What could be getting in your way of being your best self? Maybe it's your vision or standards of performance?. How will you discover the highest version of yourself and quiet the lower version that always holds you back?

To find the best version of yourself, you need to be clear of counterproductive thoughts and habits. It can be difficult to do this on your own, but if you aren't willing to make the steps necessary, the higher version of yourself will never come.

Take the time to invest in yourself, education, self-help, or therapy can help you break through and realize the potential you have.

Psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that the human psyche, or the body, mind, and soul, was made up of three parts—the ego, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious. It’s the collective unconscious where the Jungian archetypes reside, sometimes the lower self.

Carl Jung said “who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakens.” -Carl Jung

Our guest tomorrow is Jonathan De Potter felt that – despite an objectively great life, good friends, and career success, something intangible was missing. As a result, Jonathan took a sabbatical year to travel through South America, where he attended his first Ayahuasca plant medicine retreat in Peru.

The retreat experience was transformational, and in his expanded state of consciousness, Jonathan was shown directly the mindsets and behaviors that were keeping him from reaching his potential. Returning to the corporate world, Jonathan was surprised to find he was more patient, empathetic, and productive than ever before, and began researching the world of plant medicine and facilitating retreats.

In life, we all have dreams and goals that we set our minds to, but the thought of starting that venture, quitting what is comfortable, and spending countless hours preparing that dream can seem daunting to say the least. Our guest today shares his personal story on how he overcame that daunting task and gives tips on how you can too.

In this episode, we speak with Jeff Mendelson, the host of the One Big Tip podcast. Jeff left his corporate job to start his own business and podcast service and I was pleased to sit down with him to help share his knowledge and experience with those seeking to enter the entrepreneurial arena.

Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse as Kawan and Jeff talk about utilizing your strengths and resources, leveraging gaps in the marketplace to your advantage, and the importance of social media marketing and SEO.

When I was in my early twenties I was looking for a sense of purpose in life and who I wanted to be. It became hard when I didn't know where I was going and it seemed like everything that I did just wasn't working out.

I couldn't figure out what it was that made me happy; I had no idea what my strengths were; and when it came to my career, there were so many doubts and insecurities about whether or not this was the right path for me. I found myself getting caught up in toxic relationships and feeling like something was always missing.

“Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.” -Lao Tzu

In order to find your strengths, the first step is to see the vision then take action. It becomes hard when you don't know where you're going and how you're going to do it.

Invest in the classes, seminars, therapists, brand identity courses, and personality tests to find a blueprint of who you are, what you want, and decide the best strategy to move forward.

This week's guest is Jeff Mendelson, the host of the One Big Tip podcast. Everyone has this one secret that no one tells. The one secret tactic, treasured app, or hard-learned process that is singularly responsible for allowing them to shine. Jeff left his corporate job to start his own business and podcast service.

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan

We all have ambitions, dreams, and aspirations. But the truth is, there are so many things that can get in our way of achieving our goals. One of these is the concept of failure. Everyone fails. There isn’t one person who hasn’t experienced it. It’s how we react and what we learn when it happens that matters.

This week is about self-improvement. Tomorrow's guest is Alex Williamns, he started a podcast called Broken Bulbs and the tagline is “Success doesn't happen without 999 broken bulbs coming before the one, that single idea that works.”

Alex started podcasting to become a better listener and as a means of improving himself. I was also lucky enough to be on the Broken Bulbs Podcast and it was a ton of fun.  I’ve failed a lot in my time: relationships, business, life you name it. Each time has been a learning lesson and each time I improved. What no one tells you about failure is that ultimately it gives you an edge on everyone.

What's the best way to improve?

You can:

Read 10 pages a day of a topic you want to improve upon

Find a mentor

Learn a new skill

Or you can gain experience by failing and doing. Attempt the things you’re afraid of. On the other side of fear and comfort are growth and improvement. In fact,

“Good judgment comes from experience, experience comes from bad judgment.” -Dr. Kerr L White

Go out and try something new and fail this week, write down what you learned. Now take those learning lessons and apply them when you try again. Thank you for listening to the valueverse podcast. Here’s to your success.
