How to Avoid the Five Mistakes that Hold Women Back with Lisa Whittle


Listen Later

In January 2020, I started Called Creatives with my friend and co-founder, Lisa Whittle, because we want to give other women what we did not have when we were starting out writing and speaking. 

We are celebrating today because Called Creatives is open for new members! This only happens twice a year, and I’m so excited for all of the women who will join us!

If writing and speaking are dreams in your heart, you may be surprised to learn that they are crafts that anyone can learn. 

Lisa and I teach you what we’ve learned along the way. And we do it in a place where you can find community with women who get it. Called Creatives is that place!

Lisa and I recently got together for a Called Creatives Getaway. While there, we took some time to talk about five things we see that hold women back. We dove into why these five things are so prevalent and what we can do about them. 

Join Lisa and I as we talk about: 

  • Why you don’t actually need people to believe in your dreams, and what you really need instead
  • How isolation feeds our self-doubt 
  • Why Lisa says there is no such thing as self-promotion
  • One great gift that can be found in failure
  • The impact of a growth mindset on your success
  • Favorite quotes:

    “Self doubt will stop you before you ever get started. You should not wait for the day you are going to feel completely confident.”

    “You don’t need people to believe in your dream. You need them to believe in you.”

    “It is key to get people around you to overcome that self-doubt.”

    “Writing and speaking is an art and a craft that can be learned. You are not born knowing how to do it.”

    “The wise person always says where can I grow. There is never a moment that there isn’t something else to learn.”

    “It is never going to be the right time. It is never going to feel perfect. You are never going to feel confident but if you just keep going in the right direction you are going to get there.”

    “All you really have to do is get the small wins. When you add up enough of the small wins you will find that you actually made a lot of forward progress.”
