Building a Bigger Table Podcast

Episode 47 - I'm My Own Worst Enemy

Listen Later

In a highly self-reflective episode, Shaa talks about how to break down the mind-set monsters, how to tackle them head on, and why personal growth is about recognising the moments in which we hold ourselves back from achieving more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We can't place all the blame on others when we do not grow. Breaking down the mind-set monsters is about recognising that we hold ourselves back.
  • The number one challenge we have when facing our upper limits is our own mind-set. The mind-set monsters are the triggers that place us into a state of mind that we're sometimes not conscious of, and which hold us back.
  • Our businesses grow and develop when we spend time developing ourselves. Growth is about holding ourselves accountable, but also about recognising the wins when they take place.
  • We are often scared to downsize and aim for a more niche market for fear of not serving everyone, and thereby lose clients and income. Some of this might be true in the short term, but focussing on what we are passionate about is the only way to truly grow your business.

    MEET YOUR HOST

    Hi, I’m Shaa.

    I’ve been called a serial entrepreneur … but I’ve never been one for labels!

    I’ve done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”.

    I’ve been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK’s Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK' by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Shi*t.
