What if the key to unlocking true productivity is letting go of control? Mel Robbins had a mindset shift on her son’s prom night when she found herself fussing over details that didn’t matter. That’s when her daughter grabbed her arm and said, “Let them. Let them run in the rain. Let them eat where they want. Let them.” This moment sparked the creation of her Let Them Theory, a powerful mindset that transforms how we approach control in both business and life. In this episode, Mel shares the pivotal moments that shaped her career and how the Let Them Theory can help entrepreneurs let go of control, take empowered action, and thrive.
