Founder Freedom

We're talking taboo subjects here.. Do you ever find yourself being triggered by other people’s seeming success and experiencing feelings of envy and jealousy?

I know hard to admit publicly right. In this episode I wanted to take a look at why we can end up feeling like this and how for some it can create such strong negative emotions that you shrink back and explains how you can change things with great practical tips that will help you to control your emotions and get where you want to be

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Comparison leads negative self-image and scarcity mindset, with a negative mindset, you can end up playing down your dreams
• You can get caught up with what’s the right thing to want, do and have  rather than what you really want
• Unapologetically say what you want, and know that these are your goals
• You need to learn how to control your emotions
• When you see what other people can do, it’s a sign for an abundant and growth mindset that you can do it too
• Run your own race, stay true to you, to your mission, to do the work consistently with deliberate practice and you will achieve your goals

BEST MOMENTS
‘Don’t try and fit in with everyone else’
‘Everyone makes comparisons all of the time it’s a normal process'
‘We are living in an age where success is possible for you, if you work hard and consistently on the right thing you can achieve your goals’

I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
