Teen Catalyst

Today I want to talk about 5 limiting beliefs that destroy your self-confidence. I talk a lot about confidence, because that is something that a lot of teenagers tend to really struggle with. If you can learn to reframe the things you say by looking at the inverse of the limiting belief, then your life will be so much better.

Here are the 5 main limiting beliefs that destroy your self-confidence:

1. Having a poor body image
2. Feeling the need to alter your mental state
3. Believing that you're not worthy of love
4. Living in fear of rejection
5. Believing that you will never be able to achieve your dreams

Create the belief in your mind that you WILL succeed. When you squash the hope of going after your dreams, your confidence will take a hit, and in turn will affect almost every area of your life.

A lot of teens that I talk to get hung up on what to start, whether they're looking at starting a side hustle to earn some extra income or whether they're trying to figure out what to do for a career. That question needs to be answered on an individual basis; there is no one-size-fits-all answer for the "what do I do with my life" question.

One of the things I like to do when helping teens figure out the direction they want to go in their life and their career is with the DISC assessment

The DISC Model of Human Behavior is essentially a personality assessment. This assessment does not put you in a box, but is simply a model of human behavior that helps you to better understand yourself, so you can use that understanding to chart the course of your career.

Follow the link below to access my previous episodes diving into each of the different personality types, and learn more about each of the different types of the DISC Model of Human Behavior:

Today I am talking about work. My mission is to help teens find their passion and turn it into a side hustle, and from there, grow it into a business, because just working for money SUCKS.

There is nothing worse than having to work for money, but I have a great remedy for that! When you know what it is that you love to do, and you figure out how to monetize what you love doing and create a business out of it, you'll never have to work a day in your life.

I want to invite you to join my Teen Catalyst group on Facebook. I am starting the first of an 8-week program through the Teen Catalyst group to help teens monetize their passions to help them live the life they want to live. Follow the link below to join:

TEDx speaker, Radio Show Host, International Best-selling Author, Resilience Master, and co-founder of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie Simmons is best known for her mission to “Stop Teen Suicide.”

In 1995, blindsided by her 14-year-old daughter’s suicide attempt, Jackie entered a world of depression, addictions, medical mysteries, and deadly silences.

The journey into the world of mental health services and cultural taboos left Jackie feeling lost and alone.

“OK” on the outside, with “really, I’m fine,” her most frequent response to inquiries about how she was doing.  Jackie hid her deep, psychic wounds from the world behind a façade of frantic entrepreneurial activity.

Then on August 3, 2019, Jackie’s now 37-year-old daughter, broke the silence. Jackie wasn’t ready. She calls August 3, 2019 the day her “purpose tapped her on the shoulder.”

Please join me as I interview Jackie and we go on the journey that launched the mission to stop teen suicide.

Today's episode is all about the 3 biggest career mistakes that teens make. Wouldn't it be super helpful to know in advance where you want to go in your career life, and know what mistakes to avoid going forward with that decision?

Here are the 3 biggest career mistakes that teens make:

1. Thinking that they'll go to college and figure it out there
2. Deciding on a degree program without first trying out that career field
3. Not interviewing multiple people who have or have had a job in that field
4. Teens go for a "safe" job
5. Not taking themselves into account

If teens would take the time to understand their personality and how they work best before deciding on a degree in a certain career field, it would save them a lot of time, effort, and even heartache in the long run.

Today, we're talking about how to build up your confidence, and tips to increase trust in yourself. The funny thing is, the moment you start to lose trust in others is when you start to lose trust in yourself.

To overcome that lack of trust in yourself, you have to focus on the key aspects of trust:

• have faith in your accomplishments
• trust your instincts
• rely on other people
• avoid negative people

Today I want to talk to you about 3 mistakes that I see new service-based businesses do, and then I also want to tell you the 3 things that I see service-based businesses do right!

3 mistakes that new service-based businesses make:

1. They post in random Facebook groups
2. They create an online presence and then sit and wait for business to come to them
3. They call up their friends and family to ask if they have a job for them

3 things service-based businesses do right:

1. They talk directly to the people they want to do business with
2. They make a specific offer
3. They ask for a referral

What is your side hustle? Let me know what mistakes you've made while starting out your side hustle, and also what changes you're going to make in the future. Send me an email at [email protected].

What if the quickest way to move forward is simply to stop? People always say, "If you want to get what you want in life, you've got to keep moving forward. Put one foot in front of the other and just keep on walking!"

The problem with that is, so many people don't know what they want in life. They don't know what they're working for, or what it is that they are creating. If you don't know where it is you're going, or what it is that you want, and you start moving forward, so often you end up moving in the wrong direction.

I want to invite you to join my Wednesday office hours. Between 10AM-2PM CT on Wednesdays, I am offering FREE office hours. Follow the link below to schedule a FREE call with me, and I will help you map out a path for you to know where you want to go, and what it is that you want to do in your life.
