In this video, I address the common issue of overthinking in entrepreneurship and its detrimental impact on time and money. 

Discussing how excessive control and perfectionism can make business operations feel like moving through quicksand, I explain that overthinking acts as a profit and time leak.

Rather than attempting to think better, the key to overcoming overthinking lies in addressing the emotional roots—primarily rooted in fear. I liken overthinking to the Titanic problem, emphasizing the unseen emotional iceberg that drives the visible symptoms like perfectionism and analysis paralysis. 

By growing your emotional intelligence (EQ) to match your intellectual intelligence (IQ), you can reduce stress and enhance decision-making. Ultimately, this shift will lead to peaceful, joyous profits.

I share how an identity upgrade helped my client go from 10-15k offers  to confidently pitching her first  $100k offer. 

I breakdown how I helped her address subconscious blocks that actually had nothing to do with sales but everything to do with her ability to sell a package that would warrant a 10x jump. 

I unpack how setting boundaries, owning and asking for her needs, and overcoming people-pleasing tendencies was ultimately what led her to be comfortable with that 10x jump.

In today's episode, I dive into the topic of entrepreneurial stress and its relationship to business strategy.

I explore the scenario where despite putting in tremendous effort, progress seems stagnant using the Elephant and the Rider analogy, where the conscious mind (the Rider) attempts to lead the subconscious (the Elephant).

This internal struggle can directly reflect in your business, creating an overwhelming cycle. The key to breaking this cycle is to establish a sense of safety for the Elephant to move in the same direction as the Rider.

Here's What You'll Learn in the Episode:
