Drawing inspiration from a listener's candid email, I offer practical advice on identifying barriers, amplifying strengths, and making tangible progress. If you're struggling to start a project or move forward with your goals, this episode is for you. Learn how to focus on what truly matters, commit to actionable steps, and find the accountability you need to succeed. And above all, this episode will help you find the confidence in yourself that is likely keeping you from making progress right now.  Takeaways: Identify the true barriers that are holding you back, such as a perceived lack of resources, consuming too much free content without taking action, having too many ideas and feeling overwhelmed, and a lack of confidence.

Ep. 242 - [Paul Schmidt] Flip The Script: Visualize Success Instead Of Critiquing Yourself

If the idea of selling feels gross or scary to you, this conversation was recorded for you. As soon as you step into entrepreneurship, most people run into the discomfort when selling something they've created. But in order to have a successful business, you have to sell your products or services and that's why I brought on this guest today. Gwen Tinsley is a sales coach that helps you uncover the value of your offerings so you can sell with confidence.  Takeaways:  Reframe selling as highlighting an outcome to attract the right clients. Most sales are related to: saving time and money, increasing sales and revenue, and reducing risk. Feature vs benefit analysis helps businesses highlight the value of their offerings. Surround yourself with supportive communities and coaches to overcome imposter syndrome.
